I have dozens of articles & newsletters I wrote on a C=64 that I'd like to archive off onto more recent formats, but at the moment, the machine isn't able to connect to a network. Transfer is of course one obstacle of many. I'd likely have to set up an emulator on a new machine, and try to reproduce the environments in which the executables ran. Devices to read Commodore-formatted drives are quite expensive, so if I could get the machine onto my LAN with a file transfer program, that might be one way to archive the old files which, yes, I should have done 30 years ago, but was playing with the Amiga instead. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cacw6n4ulz_n3yt0f8wncs3bvp2cuhgvbrk6h6gg-9cjllr9...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
