Hi, out there !


For a long time I have been working with an old apple II+ computer and
developed several programs on it, which I also want to use on my new
computer - an atari TT.

Unfortunately, I don't have any communication card for my apple II
- and I don't believe, that I will get one anywhere - so I can't
transfer any program to the atari ( except by hand ... ).

Trying to find a solution for this problem I had the idea, that it
must be possible to connect the atari via the RS232-interface to
the centronics printer interface of the apple II. ( The most files
I have to transfer are program sources, i.e. ASCII-files ).
Thus I would transfer my files simply by "printing" them while the
atari should simulate the printer, but store the incoming characters
in a local file.

Does anyone know if the two computers can be connected in this manner
- and if yes, what kind of hard- and software is necessary to do so.
Another idea would be, to do the transfer to a MS-DOS-computer, because
the atari is able to read MS-DOS-discs.

If you have any idea, please send your response to the e-mail
address given above.

Thanks a lot in advance !
