File Server for the C64 v0.01á, Copyright (c) 1994 by Yvo Nelemans

Ok, this will be very short.


What can this program do
------------------------
*LOAD a file from the current directory to your C64.
*SAVE a file from the C64 to the current directory.

you CAN'T load a directory/send commands/do anything usefull with it.
Also this program seems to work correctly on mine 386DX-40, and it
should work on different configurations also but I haven't been able to
check this.

This program supports two types of cables. A cable as you used for X1541
or a cable as you used for DISK64E/TRANS64. I've listed the information
to build such a cable below.


Example of how to use this program.
-----------------------------------
Start your PC
Start your C64
Start SERVER64 on the PC
make sure you have a valid BINARY file in the current directory of your PC
type LOAD"qix.bin",8 on the C64
and run it.
Or make a small basic program save it and then reload it.

X1541 CABLE
-----------

The program requires the following adapter cable to be connected
between your
parallel printer port (LPT1/LPT2/LPT3) and a commodore disk drive (1541/1581)

You should connect all pins 22-25(PC) with pin 2 (1541) because it's safer.
The printerport plug is a male one which is connected directly with the
printerport of the PC. The 1541 plug is a female one. You should plug the
IEC-cable shipped with the 1541 into this plug so you don't have to make the
interfacecable longer then it must be.
