 ==== File transfer between Windows PCs and X68000 machines using a null modem cable ====

+The following tutorial is kind contribution by our forum member **Magic Knight**.
 Last year I had a problem. I wanted to transfer files which I had downloaded from the Internet onto my Windows PC over to my X68000. I didn’t have a 5.25” drive on my PC, and even if I were to get one, I was running Windows XP so a program like xfloppy wasn’t going to work anyway. I do have a laptop, running Windows 98, but with no way to connect a 5.25” drive.

   *Your Windows PC will probably have to be Windows 95/98 or similar, I haven’t tried it with other operating systems. You could try it and see if it works on your own system.
   *Your X68000 probably needs Human68k 3.02, it may well work with earlier versions, I really don’t know.

-You can see how the pins from each end are connected, so you can probably find a similar cable in your own country. You may also have to connect two cables together before you get the right connection.
 Ensure that both machines are turned OFF when connecting the cable.
