QUADRAM came out with a product called the QUADLINK a few years ago. It
consists of a board which you plug into your IBM PC and some software,
part of which runs in PC mode, some of which you can boot in Apple mode
to use for copying files. Unfortunately, I had to copy from Apple CP/M
to IBM PC format, so I first had to find a program to copy to Apple DOS
from CP/M. I managed to find what I hope is a public domain program on
a disk which someone had given me (it's called CPMXFR), and after figuring
out how to use it without any documentation, I managed to get it to convert
my files to Apple DOS. Then, I got the PC booted in Apple mode running this
thing they call the "Filer" and copied them to IBM PC format. It wasn't fun,
but it worked just fine.
