64HDD Type Program for Amiga
« on: October 24, 2012, 02:25:30 PM »
I have used the 64HDD software quite a bit, and it works really well.  Although it is out of my knowledge range, do some of you smart guys and gals on here think it would be possible for someone with the knowledge, to write software like this for the Amiga?  I know, it is different, but is it doable.  To set up a PC to use as a hard drive or floppy drive, for the Amiga.  With the 64HDD for the 8 bit computers, you simply hook a cable between the Commodore and a parallel port on the PC, and you can assign drive numbers to whatever path you choose.  I know there is a program out there for Amiga that may do this already, but I can't think of the name of it right off hand.  If so, is it any good and worth buying?  I use Amiga Explorer, and it works great, especially since I upgraded the serial port in my A2000 to a MultiFaceCard III, but it is still not the same.  Any thoughts?  Thanks.

Edit:  The software I was thinking of was MPDOS.  Not sure how good it is, but it sounds like it might do the job.

I want to use the PC as a floppy, and, if possible, a hard drive for the Amiga.  I was just using the 64HDD as an example.  I will check out the link you provided. From looking, it looks like MPDOS does what I want, except for hard drive part, which is probably not possible.   Thanks.
