David Schmidt announced today that after spending a year in beta, ADTPro is now officially released. ADTPro is an open source application for transferring disk images from modern computing platforms to vintage Apple II computers using serial cable, ethernet (Uthernet required) and even audio.
ADTPro is highly recommended and so easy to use, even a caveman could do it. David’s official release notice is attached.
