Yes, Get a null modem cable or adapter and connect the two serial
ports together.  With communications software you can then transfer
files at up to 9600 baud.  You can Also use the IBM clone as a terminal
for the Apple under Apple Pascal if your serial card is in slot 3.  If
you have a multitasking operating system you could use the II+ as a term       
terminal for the PC clone so that 2 users could work at once but the
II+ keyboard is very limited.
