Newbie question about transferring between PC and A500

[rustednail]

You may not want to spend the money, but Clanto comes with Amiga explorer.  You can use a null modem cable to connect your amiga to a PC.  There was a way to get the file needed on the amiga side to start the amiga explorer on the amiga end,  It's been a long time since I have done that, but it is possible and works very well, and if I remember right, on the PC side you can map the amiga drives as though they are networked.  This method is very slow though, no where near the speeds of network.

Good luck

Here ya go, here's the link, looks like you can buy Amiga Explorer alone.

There is a trial version to test your connections, but it is limited to transfers of only 1K.

Good luck,

Yeah, something like that, but I used a 25 pin to 9 pin null modem adapter, 9 wire serial cable and 25 pin to 9 pin adapter with out a problem, there is a link on the page above that tells you what the cable needs to conform to
