Hi Mario,

I can send you details of the cable later and probably make one for
you, however, the quickest and easiest way to make DSK images is to
install the 3" drive in your PC following Chris' instructions
http://members.lycos.co.uk/albertstc01/3INCHWEB.htm
Make sure you use an original Einstein drive not an Amstrad one as the
wiring is different.

Then you can use either CPDRead under DOS (details on the same link
above),
or
CPCDiskXP under winXP (details on Chris' homepage here -
http://members.lycos.co.uk/albertstc01/ )

This will be faster than copying the data over the RS232 and will save
you from having to make a cable.

I have the details for the RS232 cable and in fact have one connecting
my PC to an Einstein at the moment. I have used it to transfer many
disks worth of files to my pc when the files were in separate "user"
areas using the Kermit software.

The public domain files I transfered are here -
http://www.galactictourist.com/einstein
and the ReadMe for those files is here;
http://www.galactictourist.com/einstein/readme.txt

Of course if you need to put those files onto a DSK image you can use
Chris' fantastic EDIP program -

I have a lot more Public domain software for the Einstein and I'll
slowly get round to posting it all.

I'm also nearly all the way through doing a scan and OCR of the
original MOS/DOS manual that I'll post here when I'm finished.

Regards,
Geoff
