ÔHIS IS A BRIEF TEXT FILE DESCRIBING HOW TO TRANSFER FILES, INCLUDING
PROGRAMS, BETWEEN AN ÁMIGA AND A Ã64/128. ÔHIS TECHNIQUE IS USEFUL MAINLY
TO DOWNLOAD FILES USING THE HIGHER BAUD RATES AVAILABLE ON THE ÁMIGA FOR
OFFLINE TRANSFER TO THE Ã64/128. ÉT COULD ALSO BE USED TO TRANSFER TEXT,
DATABASE AND SPREADSHEET DATA ALTHOUGH THE DATA WOULD PROBABLY REQUIRE SOME
PROCESSING BEFORE THE ÁMIGA COULD USE IT. ÅQUIPEMENT NEEDED:
  1.  ÍODEM CABLE FOR THE Ã64/128. ÔHIS IS THE TYPE USED FOR ÈAYES COMPATABLE
MODEMS.
  2.  ÎULL MODEM RS232 CONNECTOR.
  3.  ÇENDER BENDER RS232 CONNECTOR.
.ÔHE LAST TWO ITEMS ARE AVAILABLE AT MOST COMPUTER STORES FOR LESS THAN $5
EACH. ÔHE GENDER BENDER IS REQUIRED BECAUSE THE ÁMIGA RS232 PORT IS A
DIFFERENT SEXUAL ORIENTATION THAN THE ÉÂÍ. ÉT IS ALSO HELPFUL TO HAVE
SEPARATE MONITORS FOR EACH COMPUTER ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT ABSOLUTELY
NECESSARY. ÈOW TO:
  1. ÄO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONNECT THE COMPUTERS YET.
  2.  ÌOAD A TERMINAL PROGRAM INTO EACH COMPUTER AND SET BOTH FOR 1200 BAUD,
XMODEM CHECKSUM PROTOCAL.  ÉF YOU HAVE A Ã128 AND ÃOMMODORE'S VT100.128 PROGRAM
YOU CAN USE 2400 BAUD.
  3.  ÎOW YOU CAN HOOK UP THE CABLES. ÃONNECT THE
Ã64/128 MODEM CABLE THRU THE NULL AND GENDER BENDER CONNECTORS TO YOUR
ÁMIGA'S RS232 PORT. ÄO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONNECT IT BEFORE LOADING THE
TERMINAL PROGRAMS OR THE SIGNALS SENT BY THE ÁMIGA WILL INTERFER WITH THE
Ã64/128 LOADING.
  4.  ÁT THIS POINT ANYTHING TYPED ON THE ÁMIGA SHOULD APPEAR
ON THE Ã64/128 SCREEN AND VICE VERSA. ÉF THAT IS NOT THE CASE THEN CHECK
FOR LOOSE CONNECTIONS, WRONG BAUD RATE, ETC.
  5.  ÙOU ARE NOW READY TO TRANSFER. ÓET UP THE Ã64/128 FOR DOWNLOAD AND THE
ÁMIGA FOR UPLOAD. ÔHE TRANSFER SHOULD TAKE PLACE MUCH AS IT WOULD IF YOU
WERE USING ÃOMPUSERVE. ÔHIS MIGHT ALSO WORK WITH AN ÉÂÍ OR ÁTARI ÓÔ BUT É
HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO TRY IT YET.
