Trans64                         Version 1.18f

Trans64 is a program to transfer files between the PC and a  C64 floppydrive.
The floppy is  connected with a simple  cable to the  parallelport of the PC.
You  can  transfer  files among  virtual disks,  virtual tapes,  dos and  the
floppydrive.  Also you  can  transfer  whole disks if a 1541, 1570 or 1571 is
connected.  You can  use fast transferroutines for  the filetransfer.  So you
can  read or write a whole disk in  2 1/2 minutes. With normal speed you will
need  9 minutes to read  the whole disk and  9 1/2 minutes to write the whole 
disk.  Also you can use a turbo routine to read a whole disk in 1:06 minutes.
The  cable used for the connection is either the cable used  by X1541  or the
cable used  by  Disk64E.  To build the cable read the section 'cable' of  the
online-help.
If you have already built a cable  connect the floppy to the PC and switch it
on before you start the program. So the program will automatically detect the
cable and floppydrive connected with the PC.  Otherwise select the  menupoint
'configuration' and select your setup.

If you have any problem starting Trans64 start Trans64 either with
trans64 lpt1    (lpt2  or   lpt3)
  if you have connected your drive to printer port 1, 2 or 3,
or with
trans64 none
  if you don't have connected any drive to your PC.

Then  you should read the  online help for  more information on how  to solve
your hardware problem.
