[Coco] File Transfer from CD to Coco Floppy Disk

[Bert & Peggy Schneider]

Great!  Thanks - a decent Amiga monitor is at my post office ready for
pick up (I was out today when the delivery guy came - darn!).  I have to
modify a Multi-Pak to work with a CoCo3 - all I need now is to copy the
files from my PC (running Windows XP) - that is the only thing holding
me back.

I could transfer files via RS232 - if I could get a decent terminal
program moved over somehow.

I am getting ready to go on vacation and haven't tried to
do any file transfers. I was going to buy a copy of the RTSI
archive cd... I found a copy that I bought at the last coco fest I
attended.
I want to get started on transferring files when I return later this
month.
I will check this list for an answer to your question.
