This software allows for the transfer of diskettes and logical disk images between Apple II-era computers and the modern world.
To use ADTPro, you need both a host (server) component that runs on modern computers with Java and an Apple II (client) component that runs on any Apple II compatible computer with at least 64k of memory. The software supports the use of different communication devices, which include Super Serial Card, IIgs modem port or IIc serial port at 115,200 BPS, Uthernet Ethernet card, and the Apple's cassette ports.
ADTPro can be used to transfer either Apple diskette/disk images in DOS or ProDOS format. The Apple client side operates using ProDOS and can read or write Apple DOS (or Pascal, or CP/M, or...) diskettes.
The server program of ADTPro runs on a computer capable of running Java. Depending on how you want to connect to your Apple, you might also need a serial port and cables, an Uthernet card for your apple, or a couple of audio patch cables. The server offers a compact user interface that shows what communications are taking place between the host and the Apple.
The client side of ADTPro runs on the Apple ]. It handles most of the user interaction. When choosing disks/volumes to transfer, anything that ProDOS can see is fair game. Transferring data occurs with a 20k buffer on the Apple, so all transfers are broken up into 20k chunks. A progress indicator shows how far you are into the current chunk, as well as a running count of the total progress.
ADTPro's server can help you get bootstrapped if you have recently acquired an Apple and a disk drive, and you have no software for it. By using ADTPro, you can move software from the Internet all the way to your shiny new Apple.
