Subject: Re: AppleII <-> Kaypro format?

Apples *record* data differently from cp/m and ms/dos disk
controllers, and there's no way the Kaypro's hardware can be made to
read or write a disk from an Apple disk controller.

For 100+ cp/m formats and ms/dos formats, there are format-to-format
copy programs.  Specifically for the Kaypro, Plu*Perfect Systems
has MULTICOPY, which runs on Kaypros with a TurboRom.  It supports
direct use of foreign formats as well as file-copying capability.
UniForm and MediaMaster are other file-copy utilities.

But for Apple <--> Kaypro, the best thing to do is hook up the two
machines with communications software and upload/download the files.
You'll need one communications program for each machine -- eg
MEX for Kaypro, AsciiExpress for Apple.
