The increasing need to communicate to exchange data can be handled by personal microcomputers. The necessity for the transference of information stored in one type of personal computer to another type of personal computer is often encountered in the process of integrating multiple sources of information stored in different and incompatible computers in Medical Research and Practice. A practical example is demonstrated with two relatively inexpensive commonly used computers, the IBM PC jr. and the Apple IIe. The basic input/output (I/O) interface chip for serial communication for each computer are joined together using a Null connector and cable to form a communications link. Using BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) Computer Language and the Disk Operating System (DOS) the communications handshaking protocol and file transfer is established between the two computers. The BASIC programming languages used are Applesoft (Apple Personal Computer) and PC BASIC (IBM Personal computer).
日益增长的通过交流来交换数据的需求可以由个人微型计算机来处理。在医学研究与实践中，将存储在一种类型个人计算机中的信息转移到另一种类型个人计算机的需求，在整合存储于不同且不兼容计算机中的多个信息源的过程中经常会遇到。用两款相对便宜且常用的计算机——IBM PC jr. 和苹果IIe展示了一个实际例子。每台计算机用于串行通信的基本输入/输出（I/O）接口芯片通过一个空接头和电缆连接在一起，以形成一个通信链路。使用BASIC（初学者通用符号指令代码）计算机语言和磁盘操作系统（DOS），在两台计算机之间建立通信握手协议和文件传输。所使用的BASIC编程语言是苹果软机（Apple Personal Computer）语言和PC BASIC（IBM个人计算机）语言。
