APPLE ][ Serial Cable & Serial USB Adapter

Foto review of the Serial cable and Transfer program:

ADTPro may be used to transfer Apple diskette/disk images in DOS or ProDOS/SOS format.

The Apple client side happens to run under ProDOS or SOS, but it is perfectly capable of reading or writing Apple DOS (or Pascal, or CP/M, or…) diskettes.
