<p style="font-weight: bold;">Serial Line Transfers:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The most common method of transferring disk
|
|
images is through a serial line. To do this, you must connect
|
|
your Apple to your PC with a serial line and null modem, then run
|
|
one program on the Apple which reads data off the disk and sends
|
|
it out over the serial line, and another program on the PC which
|
|
collects data from the serial line and saves it to a disk image
|
|
file. This system can be difficult to set up initially, but once
|
|
it is working it is very fast and convenient.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Common programs for doing this work are ADT and ADTPro:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Apple Disk Transfer (ADT) - <a target="_blank" href="http://adt.berlios.de">http://adt.berlios.de</a>
|
|
- runs natively on Windows, but is limited to transferring 5-1/4" disks.</li>
|
|
<li>Apple Disk Transfer ProDOS (ADTPro) - <a target="_blank" href="http://adtpro.sourceforge.net/connectionsserial.html">http://adtpro.sourceforge.net/connectionsserial.html</a>
|
|
- requires Java, but is capable of transferring all disk types and sizes.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p style="font-weight: bold;">Audio Transfers:</p>
|
|
Apples with audio (cassette) jacks can transfer disk images
|
|
via those ports through audio jacks on a PC.
|
|
This method is considerably slower than using a serial line,
|
|
but may be used if
|
|
the Apple in question lacks a serial port, for example.
|
|
Common programs for doing this work are ADTPro and Arme Leute Apple Disk Transfer:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Apple Disk Transfer ProDOS (ADTPro) - <a target="_blank" href="http://adtpro.sourceforge.net/connectionsaudio.html">http://adtpro.sourceforge.net/connectionsaudio.html</a>

|
|
|
|
|
|
<p style="font-weight: bold;">Ethernet Transfers:</p>
|
|
Apples with an <a href="http://a2retrosystems.com/">A2RetroSystems</a> Uthernet
|
|
card can transfer disk images via ADTPro:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Apple Disk Transfer ProDOS (ADTPro) - <a target="_blank" href="http://adtpro.sourceforge.net/configethernet.html">http://adtpro.sourceforge.net/configethernet.html</a>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p style="font-weight: bold;">Modem Transfers:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you have a modem and
|
|
terminal program on
|
|
both your Apple and PC, you can take advantage of that to
|
|
transfer disks with very little initial setup. Here's what you
|
|
do:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
<li>Run ShrinkIt! on the Apple
|
|
to compress a disk image into a single archive file.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Transfer that file over the
|
|
modem to your PC.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Run Nulib on the PC to
|
|
uncompress the archive file. Nulib is available from
|
|
<a target="_blank" href="ftp://public.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/utility/nulib">ftp://public.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/utility/nulib</a>.</li>
|
|
|
|
</ol>

|
<p style="font-weight: bold;">Transferring
|
|
Through 3.5"
|
|
Disks:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>One final way to transfer disk
|
|
images is to
|
|
copy the data onto a 3.5" disk, and then use a Macintosh to
|
|
transfer the data from the 3.5" disk into a PC readable
|
|
format. The advantage of this method is that it does not require
|
|
a serial card or modem. However, it does involve a number of
|
|
steps:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
<li>Run dsk2file on an Apple
|
|
IIgs. This will read an entire 5 1/4" disk and save it as a single file
|
|
on a 3.5" ProDOS disk.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Take the 3.5" disk to a
|
|
Macintosh and copy the file using Apple File Exchange or the ProDOS
|
|
File System Extension.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Format a high density 3.5"
|
|
disk on a PC.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Take this 3.5" disk to the
|
|
Macintosh and write the image file to it using Apple File Exchange or
|
|
PC Exchange.</li>
