<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi,</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Putting this on the list in case anyone
else wants to give ADT a go.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Okay, here is ADT. <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bluegrasspals.com/adt.zip">http://bluegrasspals.com/adt.zip</a><br>
When you unzip it, you'll find several files, as follows: <br>
<br>
adt.asm: Assembly source code for Apple II ADT program <br>
adt.dmp: ADT Apple program, hex dump to be sent to the Apple <br>
adt.exe: ADT Windows program, what you run on the PC <br>
adt123.dsk: ADT Apple disk image <br>
Adtcfg.bas: Dump of an Applesoft program to configure ADT, send
this to the Apple <br>
adtn.dmp: Same as adt.dmp but without line feeds for terminal
programs that can't strip them <br>
adtn_dmp_info.txt: Info about dump files <br>
ADT_doc.txt: ADT documentation <br>
GPL.TXT: Gnu General Public License <br>
Manual.txt: Complete ADT manual <br>
readme.txt: Brief Readme for ADT <br>
<br>
To get started, boot up a DOS 3.3 disk, disable Textalker with
Ctrl-E, O if necessary, then have a disk in slot 6, drive 1, with
plenty of free space. Then, follow the instructions in manual.txt
to establish communication between your Apple and PC and send
either adt.dmp, or if your comm program can't strip line feeds,
adtn.dmp. At the end of the process it should save a binary file
called ADT and leave you at an Applesoft prompt. <br>
<br>
Then, use the same procedure to send adtcfg.bas to your Apple, and
it should save as an Applesoft program called ADT CONFIGURATION. <br>
<br>
The default configuration on the Apple side is that disks read or
written are in slot 6, drive 1. The Super Serial card is in slot
2, and the speed is 19200 BAUD. If that's not what you want, run
adt configuration to change it. <br>
<br>
Now run the PC program adt.exe. Choose the serial port and speed,
and hit Connect. Once that's done, BRUNADT to start ADT on the
Apple side. The program will not talk, but is very easy to use. I
think at this point the status line on the PC should say it's
connected. <br>
<br>
Now to send a disk, put that disk in the drive and hit S, then
type a filename, ending with .dsk is recommended, and hit Enter.
The Apple should start reading the disk, and sending it. The disk
image will be stored wherever adt.exe is, or in your current
working directory. <br>
<br>
When any operation completes, you'll hear a two-tone beep. If you
hear this beep unexpectedly, it means there was some sort of
error. If you send a disk, and the drive spins for a few seconds
then nothing happens, and you don't hear the beep, there's
probably a communication problem. I think the program will prevent
you from overwriting an existing file on the PC. <br>
<br>
To receive a disk, first be very, very sure the disk in the drive
doesn't contain anything valuable. It also must have been
initialized. ADT gives you absolutely no warnings about erasing
data, it assumes you know what you are doing. Type R, enter a
filename, and hit Enter. The disk will spin for a bit, then the PC
will start sending the disk image in chunks, and the Apple will
write it to the disk. Absolutely everything that was on the disk
will be totally destroyed and overwritten with the new material. <br>
<br>
If the drive just spins for a bit, then you hear a beep, that
probably means that file doesn't exist in the directory on the PC.
<br>
<br>
Remember that all disk transfer commands are from the Apple
perspective. When you send, you are sending an image from the
Apple to the PC. When you receive, you are receiving an image from
the PC to the Apple.<br>
<br>
To exit the program, just hit Q. <br>
<br>
A few notes. This program uses data compression, so especially if
a disk has a lot of empty space, it'll transfer more quickly.
Also, all transfers are done in seven-track chunks, which means
when sending, the Apple will read seven tracks, send them, read
seven more tracks, send them, etc. When receiving, the reverse
will happen. <br>
<br>
I recommend keeping the ADT binary file and ADT CONFIGURATION
Applesoft program in a safe place. If you lose it or accidentally
overwrite it with something else, you'll have to do the whole
bootstrapping process all over again.<br>
<br>
If you have any questions, please let me know! <br>
Hope this helps, <br>
<br>
Jayson <br>

<div>Think I sent you a note saying aI wanted more info, not
sure. Anyhow, I hope the program on the apple end talks? Also,
I assume I'll have to use terminal programs to move the program
from this computer to the 2 e? </div>
<div>Thanks. </div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">You can transfer 5.25 inch disks
formatted for either DOS 3.3 and ProDOS, and which are not copy
protected, using a program called Apple Disk Transfer. The
version I have requires a Super Serial card in your Apple, and a
Windows PC for the receiving side. I got Jeff Weiss, who is on
this list, set up with ADT a few years ago so he could transfer
all his Apple Talk magazine disks, which he did successfully. If
you want more info, just let me know.</div>

<div>I got some stuff downloaded that I run at the command
prompt in windows. As far as what I have on actual disks, it
has been a long long time. I did find kidnapped, which I use
to play. Haven't found stoneville manor yet. I don't have a
clue how to turn those disks into images. I also have lots of
eamon disks, beagle brothers stuff and things like that. </div>

<div>Welcome to the list. I'm curious to know the major titles
you have in collection.</div>
<div>You can also find many apple2 related applications in the

computer was an apple 2 e which <br>
I still have. I plan on digging out my 2 e soon, still
have the <br>
disks as well as a ten meg prodos scsii external drive.
My 2 e <br>
also has I think 8 meg of ram on a card that took 36
256k chips.<br>
Looking forward to lots of old apple stuff.<br>
