thanks, trying
first, copy hmx to floppy (after FINDING the portable disk copier)
then by serial to emate
then use clarisworks? on desktop to make file, then use hmx to transfer...
then use pcmcia card or beam to other emates..that's the easy part
i wish i cd beam fr the networked imac
we have a base station attached to network somewhere in the school
so i'm waiting with bated breath the wireless situation

the locltalk and serial adapters SHOULD work, but so far no cigar
and i've got win 2000 at home..sounds like almost a lost cause to connect
there, anyway, no adapter

i'm going to do this one, thanks, but it may be a while til i'm back to you
to report --
not lack of interest but complicated to put stuff on my emates!!!
