    Rainbow Apple Logo 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.
