- I've used my Mac with my Atari 800xl & 130 xe many times. I just simply
- connected the Atari (with a p:r: connection) thru a null modem right into
- a Mac modem cable that I got from Egghead. Then just run terminal
- programs on each machine, and fiddle around with the settingd till they
- work.
-
- I believe I used Microphone on the Mac, and BobTerm on my 8bit.
- Should be somewhat simple!
