    How to Connecting PC to other via serial?
    « on: May 16, 2020, 04:48:01 PM »
    Hi!
    สล็อตบนมือถือ

    I'm not sure if I hadn't post this in DOS section, so please forgive me.
    I need to transfer data between my PC (Windows 10.1903 x64 Pro) and notebook with MS-DOS 7.10 (also Windows 3.11 for Workgroups - but without Win32s)
    I want to use serial port 'cause DOS is not so familiar with USB.
    I know that serial transfer was possible even on my hobby computers - Commodore 8-bits.

    But what a software to use for Windows and for DOS?
    Also - can anybody recommend me important things like timing etc?
    Thank you for help

    Unless either computer is really old (10 years or so) then all you need is a regular Ethernet cable to plug inot the 2 machines to create a network where you can share folders and then use Windows Explorer to copy/paste/move files between the 2 machines as you wish.

    Someone may tell you that you need a special null modem cable to do this but modern Ethernet ports are smart enough to sense what's going on and handle things internally.  However, if either one of the computers is old, it may not have a modern Ethernet port so in that case you would need the null modem cable.
