More on the IIGS...

Wow, failed again.

I came across a program that will use the PC parallel port and communicate with the IIGS via the game port. I happen to have a 25-pin to 9-pin adapter, so I hooked it up and tried it out. After entering a short program on the Apple II (remember, moving files still sucks) and starting up the PC program, I wasn't able to get it going.

However, the IIGS gameport connector is different than that on the original Apple II series, so maybe this is to be expected.

Anyway, Lisa brought home some more disks (people are scrounging for them so they can get rid of them) so I've got more software and a number of blanks, so that's improving. I just need to start doing the PMA transfer. (That's PC -> Macintosh -> Apple IIGS and doesn't stand for anything else that can fit the PMA acronym...)
