The software facilitates the transfer of both physical and logical disk images.
If you're looking for a software solution to transfer diskettes and logical disk images between Apple ][-era computers and the modern world, look no further than Apple Disk Transfer ProDOS (or ADTPro for short). This program is an extension of the original ADT, offering compatibility with more logical disk formats, drive types, communications devices, and host operating systems.
The ADTPro server program runs on a Java-capable computer, and offers a compact user interface that shows what communications are taking place between the host and the Apple ][. Depending on your setup, you might need a serial port and cables, an Uthernet card for your Apple, or some audio patch cables. The server's primary function is to send and receive disk images as requested from the client. If you've recently acquired an Apple computer and a disk drive, ADTPro's server can be an invaluable tool to help you get started.
On the client side, ADTPro's software runs on the Apple ][ and handles most of the user interaction. You can select any disk/volume that ProDOS can see for transfer. Transferring data occurs with a 20k buffer on the Apple, so all transfers are broken up into 20k chunks. A progress indicator shows you how far it is into the current chunk, as well as a running count of the total progress.
Overall, ADTPro is a reliable and versatile software solution for transferring diskettes and logical disk images between older Apple computers and modern systems. Whether you're a vintage computer enthusiast or simply need to move data between old and new systems, ADTPro is an essential tool to have in your software arsenal.
