Successfully transfering files between 48SX and 50G

[BruceH]

The 'other' socket on the 50G (labeled '0101') is an RS232 serial connector. If you can find the cable for it then you can transfer direct from 48 to 50. (The 50G should have come with one for 50G to 50G comms - you could cut off one end and wire on a 48SX plug. But probably better to find a calc to 'standard' RS 232 plug for each calc and then couple those rather than cut things up.)

PS: There is no need to write a program capable of transferring whole directories as there is one already built in! The 50G has Kermit and Xmodem, both of which can run in server mode (where they sit and wait to be asked to send or receive variables). The 48SX may only have Kermit as a server - can't remember off the top of my head - but it can use Xmodem to send/receive variables manually.
