- Dear reader,
-
- Here is an updated version of ][2Mac.
-
- ][2Mac is a set of 2 applications, 1 for the Mac and 1 for the Apple-][,
- which allows you to convert Apple-][ DOS 3.3 floppies to a Mac in a format
- that is recognized by IIe, the Apple //e emulator for the Mac, written by
- Victor and Vincent Tan (/info-mac/app/IIe-301.hqx).
-
- The floppy-images are passed from the Apple-][ to the Mac over a serial
- cable at 9600 bps. A 35 track floppy will take just a few minutes to
- get transferred to the Mac.
-
- The Apple-][ program, written in AppleSoft Basic, expects a CCS-7710
- (compatible) serial interface in slot #2. If a different interfaces is
- being used or a different slot, then it should not be difficult to
- change that.
-
- Since I don't have other interfaces than the one mentioned above I cannot
- (yet) support other cards then just this one. If you have another card
- or another slot# that you would like to use then:
-
- 1) If you want your interface to be in a different slot# then simply use
- IN#x (where x is the slot# you have put your serial card in) before
- starting to download the Basic-program from the Mac to the Apple-][
- and when the download is done change in line 10 of the basic-program
- the part that says CCS7710 = 2 into CCS7710 = x (again, x is the new
- slot#).
-
- 2) Try to use the program as it is now
-
- 3) If that fails then sit down behind the Apple-][ and type:
- CALL -151
- Cx00L (where x is the slot# the card is in)
- L
- L (keep hitting L until you reach CxFF)
- L
-
- while typing the L commands look for data that says like:
-
- LDA $C080,X
- or: STA $C081,X
-
-
- Let me know what you see there...
- Also tell me if one of the bigger chips on the interface carries
- data that contains the number 6850 (like MC6850)...
-
- Wait for my replies (I WILL GET BACK TO YOU!)....
-
-
- version history:
-
- 14-aug-1996, v0.9b2
- -------------------
- -Unreadable sectors that are not 'in use' no longer cause the transmission
- to abort.

- Apple-][ disk.
