Serial Disk

[eric]

Saw this app mentioned on Twitter today - but wondering if anyone has played around with it/got it working.

This is a Control Panel that allows mounting a disk image over a serial port. Currently, there is a unixy program the control panel talks to over the serial port that provides the other end of the communication.

The Serial Disk always uses the Modem port (serial port A) on the Macintosh. When the machine boots, it will try to connect to the server using 57.6kbps. The Control Panel allows selecting different baud rates and displays the status of the connection.

Yeah, I saw the Serial Disk Driver the other day and wondered the same thing. I would have to test, too.
