Apple Disk Transfer ProDOS (ADTPro) transfers diskettes and logical disk images between Apple II computers and the modern world. It is useful for people wishing to either archive original diskettes they own or for reconstituting logical disk images to physical diskettes on real Apple II hardware. Communications methods between Apple II and modern hardware include serial, ethernet, and audio.
ADTPro is an open source project hosted on SourceForge.
[edit] Lineage
ADTPro's client side borrows heavily from the original Apple Disk Transfer (ADT) base code from version 1.23.[1] The original ADT was written by Paul Guertin.[2] ADT is currently maintained on Berlios.
ADT in turn evolved from Rich Williamson's SENDDISK program, released on April 9, 1993.[2] His Apple-side program read an entire disk with Apple DOS' RWTS (Read Write Track Sector) routine, and transmitted the data through an Apple Super Serial Card in slot 1. His PC-side program listened to COM1 for such a data stream, and stored it in a .DSK file, the format expected by Apple II emulators.[3]
