Download cnet.device from aminet. This is the
PCMCIA card driver, and it contains a list of
compatabile cards.

Use CrossDos to format the floppy disk...move
the PC0 icon from Devs/Storage/Dosdrivers to
Devs/Dosdrivers (if it isn't already there)
and reboot...then you can format PC0, and swap
files between your PC and Amiga. Conversely
you can just click on the PC0 icon when you
need it to activate the "device".
(BTW you'll have to format the disk on your
Amiga as an MS-DOS type disk in order to read
it on your Amiga...it won't read PC format
disks otherwise)

You will need a TCP/IP program like Miami or
Genesis and a browser to connect to the internet.
Miami is faster on my system for some
reason, but Genesis is free with OS 3.9.

Taping off the one side really helps. I use taped HD disks
in my DD amiga drive when I have to and they work fine,
although it still may not be good for the drive (I haven't had
problems...yet ;)). I know that without tape they will
definately "jack up" the amiga drive though.   :)

The Linksys 'may' work depending on the type...I had one (it had
the 'dongle' built into the card) and it crashed the system
immediately. Some do work though...check cnet.device for the
full list. There's also a guy selling Linksys cards that are 1200
compatabile on Ebay right now...you could check to see if they're
the same etc.

Miami needs a key that isn't availabile anymore..there's a 30min
demo on aminet, but the archive is too big to crossdos on a 720k
disk. Genesis comes free with OS3.9, but then you need a CD
drive...you will need either one though to browse/ftp.

Check www.vapor.com for an ftp program...also check aminet
there may be free ones.

It looks like the Miami 3.2 archives on aminet are small
enough to be downloaded on 720k disks. That may work.
