- Inleiding (Afrikaans)
- --------------------
- Iewers tussen al jou rommel in jou buitekamer of iewers op die solder lê
- daar 'n Commodore64 met 'n drukker. Wel, sedert jy jou AMiga gekry het,
- het jy jou C64 weggeskuif. Later in een kas vir 'n jaar of drie. Later,
- baaaaie jare later. vergete. Dis wat in Maart-1989 met my C64 gebeur het
- toe ek my eerste Amiga A500 gekry het.
-
- Sit die skop terug in jou Commodore64. Jy kan ten minste nog die drukker
- gebruik. Lees hier hoe om dit te doen. Huh??
-
-
-
- Introduction
- ------------
- Loooong ago. Very long ago you had a Commodore64. With a CBM MPS801 or
- Seikosha-Sp180VC printer or whatever. Then you got your Amiga. The
- printer could not be used. Until now.
-
-
- Explanation.
- -----------
- In this archive you will find 3 programs, one is to activate the C64
- printer then to start use. Also a printer driver.
- The last program is to transfer files from/to a c64 disk drive via the Amiga
- serial port.
-
-
- Requirements:
- -----------
- * Amiga or 100% compatible Amiga.
- * Probably running Kickstart 1.3 (untested on OS2.04+)
- * Special multi-purpose cable. See TheA64Package documetation on Aminet on
- where to get one or surf the web on where to buy such a cable.
-
-
- Test equipment:
- -------------
- * Amiga A500 with GVP Series-II SCSI harddisk
- * 0.5megs Chip and 2.5 megs ??fast?? memory == 3megs total memory.
- * Last tested in Nov 1993.
-
-
- Please note!!!!!!!!!!
- Without that cable you will NOT be able to use this software. Also, I last
- tested it on my A500 back in Nov1993. My cable was *stolen*. So use your
- imagination. However it worked fine and i experienced no trouble at all.
- Some idiot here in Pretoria still have that cable. but where??
-
-
- I was unable to get Transfer64 going on OS3.0 on my A1200-030-18Mb. Maybe
- you must use a Kickstart emulator running Kick1.3, getting that 1.3 ROM.
- Well, that is due to copyright problems your problem.

- Greetings/Groetnis tot later :-))
