HDF file *back* to the Amiga

[acadiel]

I have some HDF files that are about 7 years old that I would like to export back to my Amiga.  I can't seem to figure out if Amiga Explorer can do it to a different size partition on the Amiga (the documentation on AE really is bad...), or if there is another utility I can use to write the contents of the HDF to a partition on my Amiga.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions!  With an external SCSI drive on the A2000, I couldn't really just hook it up to the PC.  I suppose a USB to SCSI adapter might work, but I've never heard of them being used with UAE before.

I wound up starting my whole emulation on the PC and LHA'ing the drives in segments... I have Amiga Explorer transferring them at a blistering 19200bps... should be done in a few days... hehe..   Glad it's a desktop PC in the basement that isn't really used, so I'll just have to have patience.

Now, if I can ever get my hands on an A2000 network card, this would have been a lot faster.

The game plan is to simply unLHA all the files into their respective partitions.  Hopefully it will work.... I just need to remember to use the Practical Peripherals SCSI utility to give the external SCSI a higher priority for a boot partition, so when it's powered on, it doesn't let the internal drive boot.

BTW, someone gave me some HD50 SCSI3 drives (4GB)..  I created 500MB partitions on one and left the last 500MB on the drive unused... can someone remind me about the pitfalls of 4GB, which versions of AmigaOS can use it, if me leaving the last 500MB off is still safe, etc?

So what have people with SCSI drives been doing to use UAE with a SCSI drive on the PC?  Other than buying an Adaptec SCSI card and possibly hooking the drive up as a raw device in UAE?
