5.2.1 Transferring Disk-Images. Creating and sending disk-images "on the fly"

In order to bypass the problems with storing disk-images on the Apple, it is possible to simultaneously create and send images via null-modem cable to a Macintosh, PC, Amiga etc. This requires a serial card and at least one 5.25" drive on the Apple. This process is intended for older Apples (those with actual serial CARDS rather than PORTS). "Apple Disk Transfer v1.21" by Paul Guertin <guertinp@iro.umontreal.ca> is a comprehensive package with MSDOS and Apple ][ (DOS 3.3) executables to simplify transfer. "MacADT v120a1s" by Hideki Naito <pbc03243@niftyserve.or.jp> gives a Macintosh interface for ADT. "][2Mac v1.0.5" by Adam van Gaalen <vangaalen@caiw.nl> is another Macintosh/DOS 3.3 or CHE-DOS 3.4 package for transferring complete disk-images. Another similar transfer program is "Senddisk" by Rich Williamson <glitch@eskimo.com>, which also has a DOS 3.3 and MSDOS executable. "A2PCTR v1.1" by Nye Liu <nyet@halycon.com> transfers a disk- image as a hex dump to the MSDOS platform. The "Apple II Disk Transfer Utility PRO v2.0.6" by Ronald W.H. Mak and Alan W.L. Siu is an integrated Apple II/MSDOS package written in assembly. For further details consult the instructions included with the relevant package.
