![]() It could have been for Amiga, IBM, Whatever. It was really crazy at that time because if you downloaded something, you didn't necessarily know what computer it was for or what operating system it was for. Proterm on the Apple II and Wildcat! for the PC, although BBS software was not required, people sometimes used a program called Telix for the PC. It was not readable by the PC but it was transferable to any other PC connected to the original PC which the file was copied into. To fix this problem, people saved the file extension as *.txt. There used to be a problem under older versions of IBM operating systems that would create problems with any compressed apple II format when saved onto a PC. At that time, people used BBS and terminal program software to bridge the gap between most computer platforms whose disk formats were not compatible with each other. I am talking about old style transfers like those that were done before most people even knew what the heck Ethernet was. When you say this, you are saying, given the hardware configuration that I planned to use, that a "drag and drop" method to the desktop would work so long as afterwords you then change the file extension to. Is it possible to transfer Apple ][ e floppy drive attached to a serial IDE cord attached to a PC, to a PC?īy over the modem - you are talking about if you use 2 PC's and "bridge" them over the internet with an ethernet cord?Īnd by terminal program, you are referring to? (What is the name of this program)?Īll apple iie disk encoded files such as dsk or shk or ddd transferred to a PC should be saved with a *.txt extension on the PC. So now, David, in viewing the facts, the limited hardware, and the situation, the question still remains: >An original Apple ][ e floppy drive attached to a serial IDE cord that will fit into the motherboard of a PC. The reason for this: I no longer have my Apple ][ e, as the power source went out on it and so I threw it away about 8 years ago. I am glad that I described an outline of the hardware configuration that I was planning because it does not look like the ADTpro program will do any good. Maybe watching one of the bootstrapping videos would help you understand better how it all hangs together. Take a closer look at the ADTPro website. At no point is the Apple II drive itself directly connected to anything but the Apple II. It uses the Apple II hardware to read the disk and send it to the modern machine (or vice versa). The way ADTPro works is it connects your Apple II to a PC or Mac with a serial, audio, or ethernet cord. Only an Apple II can read an Apple II disk. It's nice to talk to someone new, to bring someone else into the fold. Applefritter is one of many places on the interwebz that types like us hang out. ![]() Yes, when I saw the apple iie drive adapter that could fit on a PC, I too also marveled at the site, and was amazed that they were able to do that!!! ![]() Or it allows me to do exactly what I stated above, but that it helps to keep it in the correct file format? ![]() The ADTpro program requires the use of the internet or an ethernet cord? The adapter connects with a cable cord to a desktop pc IDE slot.Īt this point, if the apple iie drive shows up on the my computer list of HD's, then I will insert an original the apple iie disk into the drive. I will connect the apple iie drive to an adapter. I'm honored that you would talk to someone so lowly as myself.Īnd just so there isn't any confusion as to what physical hardware configuration that I was going to use in regaurds to my question, this is how I propose to go about the setup of this operation: My gosh - its a real honor to meet you!!!!!!! You mean I'm talking to that same person? The person that I talking to is david_schmidt! Guess it was made by that schmidt guy - what a minute! Yea, that's a real nice program, the ADTpro. You mean there's actually Apple ][ e people out there? ![]()
