The Docs look like telnet and kermit are the way to do it. So is there not a device like ISO that I can copy TOO? I wouldn't think because cdrom is RO after all. and 'set rq writeenable' isn't working nor is anything to do with cdrom working.<br>><br>> There may be several ways to do this. I am not concerned so much about binary files as several .txt files. Am I on the right track with telnet and kermit from those who have attempted and done this?<br>><br>> Bill<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Simh mailing list<br>Simh@trailing-edge.com<br>http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh</body></html>
