Yeah, I understand what you ran into.  It's doable but you've got to get
everything working just right and follow a procedure.

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.

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-
