Of the various things on simtel, which ones will work with a Z-100
for quick transfers between it and a "compatible" laptop?  I've
been using my 5" drive as the exchange method, but sooner or later
plugging and unplugging the edge-card connector on the drive is going
to wreck the reliability, and it's probably not worth building a
quickie kluge box with a few IC's in it and a toggle switch (and
a power supply and a line cord and a front panel and ....  You
know how home projects go on.)  Kermit is too slow even at null-modem
baud rates, and anyway it's a bit of a pain between PC's.
Any suggestions?
