amiga appleiigs monitor apple-amiga-pc 5.25 disks
« on: January 17, 2006, 06:08:37 AM »
I am trying to help a gentleman get access and recover his disceased wife's journals/docs from a working apple iie.

Looking for a way to get many documents (apple writer ii) on over 130+ 5.25 disks(140k) from a working "appleiie" with 5.25 floppy drive over to an Amiga3000 or to a win98/winxp machine.  

A null modem hookup between said computers was suggested.  Yes, the appleiie has some kind of serial port (an old poor imagewriter printer is hooked to it at moment) but I haven't found any terminal/modem programs on his disks... I will look again though. Even if I find/get said program will the xmodem or whatever transfer "language" properly?

The other two ideas I had is 1)running apple emulator on A3000, but I would need a 5.25 drive which I understand is very rare.
Or ... 2) purchasing an apple iigs with 5.25 & 3.5 drives and transfer docs through that computer.  Question I have about Apple iigs is.... would it work with a 1084 monitor??

Thank you for your input,
