I've been using the Asimov FTP site, a PC, ProTerm, and a null modem cable / Super Serial Card to achieve this result.
This is amazing—so much simpler! My Apple //e sits right next to my laptop on my desk, so for me, this is giving it a whole new lease on life.
Here's a picture, just for the hell of it: https://p.twimg.com/AiV8lqjCIAICETx.jpg https://p.twimg.com/AiV8lqjCIAICETx.jpg
- rbanffy 15y agoI loved those Amdek monitors. Never got one for myself. Now that I am a grownup who can afford such eccentric hobbies, I got myself a pair of http://tulip-house.ddo.jp/digital/SDISK2/english.html http://tulip-house.ddo.jp/digital/SDISK2/english.html and one http://dreher.net/?s=projects/CFforAppleII&c=projects/CFforAppleII/main.php http://dreher.net/?s=projects/CFforAppleII&c=projects/CF... Worth every penny.
- jaysonelliot 15y agoYou mean I could put my library of software on an SD card and convince the Apple computer that it was reading from a floppy drive? Wow.
- rbanffy 15y agoThe sdisk is not that clever - I got it for a clone that has an onboard disk II and no slot 7. For the more Apple-like I got the CFFA, which is very smart and can emulate an HDD controller and a disk II
- jaysonelliot 15y agoThanks for the tip. I emailed the CFFA guy to get on the list for the next batch. How much did it cost? I can't see a price on his site.
- rbanffy 15y agoI think it, complete, was about US$ 160. What really hit me was the Brazilian import tax. :-( It hits me all the time, BTW.
