from the left side.
The price for the ready to use PC-Xformer cable is 20DM.

If the lenght of the cable is to short, it is possible to lengthen the cable with a maximal 2 meter long modem-cable.
A 2 meter long modem-cable (2x25pole SUB-D) costs 10DM.
The PC-Xformer has only access to an ATARI-floppy from the PC. The SIO2PC-interface supports the
transport of datas from an ATARI-floppy to the PC and back. Because of this, the SIO2PC-interface needs an ATARI-computer.
If you only need to copy your datas from the ATARI to the PC, then the PC-Xformer cable is the right
choice. In all other applictions it is better to use the SIO2PC-interface.
The SIO2PC-interface has with its options to simulate some diskstations, printers and modems much more
possibilities. It can work with real ATARI-floppies and much more as only to transport datas between ATARI and
PC.
