Yeah, I understand what you ran into. It's doable but you've got to get everything working just right and follow a procedure. > Also will Lapdos allow me to tranfer files from my MS-DOS PC onto a > disk that can be read by the TPPD2? Yes, yes, yes... you actually plug your TPDD2 directly into COM1 of your MS-DOS PC and use Lapdos II to read/write the disk in the TPDD2. Nothing could be slicker. > Sounds like I need to get the cable after all, may as well, what are > your terms? Cables are $17.50 + s&h (see catalog.... I know, I know, it hasn't arrived yet). Anyway, I place a thin-hooded D25M on the laptop side then ask what you need on the DOS computer side (D25F or D9F). Also, my cables are "full" null not just null. -Rick-
