   Hi all,   
   I've been wanting a way of transferring BASIC programs from my Apple II+ to a   
   modern computer for a while now. I just wanted a way to backup my programs   
   onto text files.  I finally got a serial to USB cable and downloaded the trial   
   version of    
   HyperTerminal. (I wanted to be sure I could get it to work before I paid for   
   the full version).  It's KIND of working, but I'm having some problems and I   
   was hoping someone could help. I've never done this before and had to look it   
   up.  I'm connecting    
   the Apple II to a modern laptop running Windows 10.   
      
   Going by what I read, in HyperTerminal I set the bitrate to 300 baud, 8 data   
   bits, no parity, 1 stop bits, and no flow control. I set the emulation to   
   "TTY."   
      
   If I put the Super Serial Card in the Apple II+ into terminal mode, I can send   
   stuff TO the Apple II (by typing in HyperTerminal or transferring text files).   
   But I can't receive anything FROM it. If I try to type on the Apple II   
   keyboard, nothing shows    
   up in HyperTerminal.  If type in the command "PR#1" on the Apple, I do get   
   something in HyperTerminal, but it's just weird characters.     
      
   I should also explain how I have the cables set up. I have a modem cable   
   connected to the Super Serial Card.  I had to do that because I found an   
   ImageWriter printer and wanted to connect it to the Apple, but the only cable   
   I was able to find online uses    
   modem wiring.  So I had to set the jumper block on the serial card to "modem"   
   to get it to work.  I then have the cable connected to a data switch, with   
   another cable connected with a null-modem adapter.  That way, I can easily   
   switch between the printer    
   or connecting with another computer without having to disconnect any cables.    
   I know it works, I actually have connected the Apple II with other vintage   
   computers.  But is it possible that the modem cable is causing some kind of   
   problem transmitting to    
   HyperTerminal?  I though that using the "T" terminal command in the Apple II   
   overrides the jumper settings?   
   Any ideas why I can send data TO the Apple II, but not FROM it?   
      
   I'd really appreciate any help!
