+ | It is a terminal program which can achieve a transfer speed of almost 5 kb/s and works by connecting the X68000 and PC through RS232 ports via null modem cable. It is very slow but the great advantage is that you don't have to disassemble the X68000 every time you wish to perform a small update to the hard disk contents. Please note that you will need to construct the null modem cable and there are some newer PC's which don't have a RS232 port. In such cases you will need a USB to RS232 converter which can be cheaply purchased on eBay. | ||
