[Coco] File Transfer from CD to Coco Floppy Disk

[Bert & Peggy Schneider]

John,

I'm having trouble using PORT.EXE - any suggestions?  The interface
doesn't seem user friendly.  By the way, I've developed software,
firmware, etc and know a few things here and there - I'm not computer
illiterate.  Just frustrated!

Thanks

Bert

If a WinXP system, get OmniFlop. If anything else obtain PORT.EXE, 
OS9.EXE, DISKINI.EXE and RETRIEVE.EXE. DSKINI.EXE will create Coco 
floppies from images on the PC or just format the floppy. PORT.EXE moves

files to/from the PC and a Disk Basic floppy. OS9.EXE moves files 
to/from OS-9 floppies and the PC and makes images. RETRIEVE.EXE makes 
images from Disk Basic floppies.

All except OmniFlop probably are on the CD.
