For the 8256 / 8512 machines, I recommend the v1.15 EMT file.
 
 
== Serial transfers to/from a PC ==
The easiest way to routinely transfer files between a CP/M machine and a PC is via a serial connection and transfer software such as Kermit. The problem is that on the PCW and 6128 you need a plug in adapter (and these are a bit hard to come by).
 
The PCW adapter is called a '''CPS8256''' and it has both serial and parallel ports. It is not compatible with the PCW 9512.
 
However, building on the ''Z80 bus'' concept employed by uIDE, I have designed a 5 slot bus board and I plan to produce a serial adapter to plug into it that is a clone of the CPS8256. Other extensions should follow, so keep an eye on the forum for developments.
