Z88 to PC
=========

The Cambridge Z88 has a (normal, 9-pin) serial port thus communication 
with  it should  be easy.  It is  not.  It is  quite easy  to use  its 
Import/Export functionality  against a good terminal  program like the 
Minicom.  In  such  case  one  is limited  to  plain  text  files  (no 
formatting, no PipeDream files and so on).                             

A DOS program named Z88.COM which should be able to cooperate with the 
Import/Export. It does not work in the DOSBox, though.                 

An Eazylink software for the Z88  exists and it is widely recommended. 
A Qt5-based  Eazylink2 program for  desktop exist. It compiles  on the 
ppc64le Linux but it does not start...                                 

Thus I have decided  to try the old DOS LINK.EXE. It  does work in the 
DOSBox. It is not the easiest  software to use (almost useless without 
the manual).  But it does  its work: I backed  up my RAM  and uploaded 
PipeDream file which I created on the desktop. And it was fast.
