Eazylink Popdown

Existing Mac & PC Link II Users

If you have an existing copy of

  • PC Link II, the PC to Z88 cable can be used. 
  • Mac Link, the Mac to Z88 cable could be modified by cutting off the 8 pin DIN plug and fitting a 9 way 'D' plug. In practise, this may be discarded and a PC to Z88 cable would be needed separately

The 32K EPROM may be reprogrammed to store the Eazylink popdown.

Contact Rakewell for details.

titleNote: Eazylink Popdown

 EazyLink2 Desktop Client does not support using the PC Link II protocol. You must use the Eazylink popdown in order to have smooth remote Z88 file management.

The Eazylink popdown does support the PC Link II protocol and may be used with the older programs if desired.
