I do this all the time when working on machine language -- I assemble the
program on the IBM and then transfer the object file to the 64.  You need
a null modem cable (or just a null modem) and an RS232 interface for the
64.  You will probably also need a gender changer (I use a female to
female -- lesbian hardware).  Everything should be 25-pin except for your
9-to-25 pin serial cable on the IBM.  Then, just load up a terminal
program on each computer, and what you type on one should show up on the
other.  From there you can do normal file transfers.
