Apple // Game Server
Play the classics on your Woz machine without a floppy disk!About
This java (v1.5) program allows you to send games directly to an old
apple // computer without floppies, and especially without the
need for any special hardware other than a serial cable. The
goal is zero physical modification. All you need is a PC/Mac
capable of running Java and a null modem cable. This
was
inspired by the wonderful ADT
project, except instead of transfering disks to the apple //,
this project aims to eliminate the need for disks altogether.Note: Presently, only games that are contained in single files work, but disk images that use [apple] dos 3.3 will be working in the near future.
