Title: Problems with transfering files with null modem cable via Adf sender terminal
Post by: GreenBeret on October 11, 2007, 02:33:33 PM

Hi everybody. I´m pretty new to Amiga and i own a Amiga 500+.
I have a null modem cable attached to the PC and the amiga.
I have installed the program Adf Sender Terminal to use for transferring adf-files from the PC to the Amiga.
I have konfigured the ports both on the PC and Amiga.
Settings are:

Baudrate 9600
Echo: Off
Parity: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: RTS/CTS
Design: STD
Note: In Device Manager in Win98 or XP there is no such option for RTS/CTS, only: Xon/Xoff, Hardware and nothing.
Which option shall i use there?

The PC and Amiga are connected, and i type in a CL1 window on the Amiga:
type ser: to ram:transdisk (transdisk is the program i want to transfer from PC to the Amiga.)
Then i press enter.
Now i press send on the PC (adf terminal program) and choose the file: transdisklong

The file is now being transferred but when the transfer is ready i get this error msg on the PC:

2007-10-11, 10:15:24
SENDING 'C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\Amiga\program\transdisklong' at 9600,n,8,1 RTS/CTS
100% sent!
Transfer time = 00:00:11 for 'C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\Amiga\program\transdisklong'
CRC32: 6B81914E

Framing Error
 ª¡à

I´m concerned about the CRC32 and the framing error msg. And i cannot open the transferred file on the Amiga.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?
I would really appreciate help with this.
Best regards.

Edit: Is there anyone here that have used a null modem cable and have successfully transfers? Using another software? Please let me know.

 I successfully use the Cloanto's Amiga Explorer, with the home-maded cable they tell me to use.

 Look for it, works like a charm.

Hardware is RTS/CTS use that. Needs a full null modem cable. 7 wires connected IIRC.

 This is the schematics for the right cable:

I use Amiga explorer with a homemade nullmodem cable, works great!

I've done this Tutorial (http://sandboard.50webs.com/tutorial/amiga_adf.html) that explain how to transfer files from an A500 to a PC, easy to read.
Hope it helps :-)
