Trans64                         Version 1.18

Trans64 is a program to transfer files between the PC and a  C64 floppydrive.
The floppy is  connected with a simple  cable to the  parallelport of the PC.
You  can  transfer  files among  virtual disks,  virtual tapes,  dos and  the
floppydrive.  Also you  can  transfer  whole disks if a 1541, 1570 or 1571 is
connected.  You can  use fast transferroutines for  the filetransfer.  So you
can  transfer a whole disk in  2 1/2 minutes to the PC  and in 7 minutes from 
the PC to the floppy. With normal  speed  you will need 9 minutes to read the
whole disk and  9 1/2 minutes  to write the whole disk.  Also you  can use  a
turbo routine to read a whole disk in 1:06 minutes.
The  cable used for the connection is either the cable used  by X1541  or the
cable used  by  Disk64E.  To build the cable read the section 'cable' of  the
online-help.
If you have already built a cable  connect the floppy to the PC and switch it
on before you start the program. So the program will automatically detect the
cable and floppydrive connected with the PC.  Otherwise select the  menupoint
'configuration' and select your setup.
