Has anyone had any sucess in connecting a PC to a TurboR using an RS232 interface? I was thinking about the possibility of maybe easy transfer of ROM and DSK images, any ideas? reccomendations?

I was using this method for months untill Makinavaja lets me him obsonet.


The only problem could that you need Linux on the PC where MSX is connected to transfer files from PC to MSX, is a windows problem.


The tech is use Internestor Lite on MSX, when the msx is connected you start the tftp server on your msx, and then you can send all the files you like from any pc on your network to your MSX.


Too criptic?

The best thing in this method is that you have your msx connected to internet


The other way (easy) is use terminal programs on both computers, erix in msx, and use xmodem ymodem or zmodem to transfer the files.

Thanks, for your advice - I shall wait for my interface to arrive, and my USB to RS232 lead. This sounds like it could be fun

I can use linux on my file server when i eventually get it up and running

Getting linux up-and-running shouldn't be too hard. Just put in the latest Ubuntu release, boot, press next a couple of times, and you're done
