- IMPORT FACILITIES
- -----------------
-
- THE EMULATOR contains special commands to allow existing files to be
- transferred from a BBC with DFS by means of a serial cable.
-
- PLEASE NOTE that this is intended to allow you to transfer your own
- files and public domain software; using it to transfer commercial software
- is a breach of a licensing agreement - in exactly the same way as making
- unauthorized copies by any other mechanism.
-
- In order to transfer files to which you are legitimately entitled, you
- will need a serial cable to run between the BBC's RS423 port and the
- Amiga's RS232 port.
-
- Cables can be made using the following information:
-
- A standard "null-modem" cable (ie one in which data in and out are
- crossed, NOT a "modem" cable where they go straight through) will work.
-
- BBC data in pin A to Amiga TXD pin 2
- BBC data out pin B to Amiga RXD pin 3
- BBC 0V pin C to Amiga system 0V pin 7
-
- Connect BBC pin D to BBC pin E ( CTS to RTS ).
