Hello every1!!
OK...I really need 2 make disk images of 800K Mac disks...I want 2 connect my old Mac laptop (PowerBook 520c) to my PC laptop (Toshiba Satellite, dunno what number) through a null cable modem...what programs do I need?? I have Basilisk II on my PC, so will it recognize the connection to my Mac??
Or is there another way??
Thanx!! ;)

Btw...will the Mac have Internet if I do this?? :P

You need to network the PC and MAC together as the MAC does not have a compatible Serial Port.

PowerBooks have an AAUI-15 Ethernet Connector, therefore will need a dongle to convert to RJ45 and a Xover RJ45 Cable.

Setup an FTP client/server in IE or similar browser on both, that way can transfer files from PC to MAC
