Well, Richard Hanson, I appreciate all the fine support offered on this BBS. I have recently acquired a Macintosh Classic II with 6 megs of RAM and an 80 meg hard drive. To run MSDOS programs, such as LAPDOS, I got a program called SOFTPC. It works fine for most things, and even runs LAPDOS without a hitch -- up to the point where I want to communicate with the Model 100 and/or disk drive. It seems that SOFTPC won't allow communication through the com ports of the Mac. So, I am resorting to using XMDPW6 along with a telcom package on the old Mickey. That's how I used to communicate with the Model 4 -- with XMDPW6 through a null modem and FastTerm on the Model 4. Worked well then and should work well now. I know that 100Duet does for the Mac what LAPDOS does for MSDOS computers. However, I wonder if it will run on a Classic II under System 7? I have found that some older software packages, such as Multiplan, won't run on the Mac Classic II. I'm not too worried about it. I still have on of my 286s, but located in a different location, so I will not always be able to fall back on LAPDOS. TTYL.
