Well, I can tell they can connect just fine through the null modem cable (mini din-8 to db9) using hyperterminal in XP, though as expected, they aren't speaking the same language.
Unfortunately I can't get Star Gate installed on the 150, and in order to run that you need it on each computer. I tried installing TransMac and Macdrive, but I can't seem to get the files downloaded to a PC to stay in Mac format no matter what I do. Stargate works great between my two PCs.
TransMac would recognize Mac formatted disks in the PC floppy drive but I couldn't get downloads to save direct as Mac files, nor could I get it to pay attention to the COM port (long shot, I know).
Anyway, after a few days of messing about it's time to grab a usb drive. I had hoped to get away from the floppies if there was an easy cable option but the fates seem to be against me for now.
(Except for the fact that my 150 is the first new computer I bought with my own money and the only one that has never crashed.)
Thanks for your help!
