.ADF files from the PC to an Amiga 500
« on: February 13, 2004, 05:14:14 PM »
I have seen threads in here on how to do this, but I was unable to find them. I am going to buy an Amiga 500 from eBay as they seem to be the most compatiable with the games I want to play (judging from feedback on these forums). My question is what is the easiest way of transferring .ADF files from a PC over to an Amiga 500 so I can use them? I can't seem to find some of the age old classics I enjoyed playing, like Carrier Command, Elite, Pirates and Battle Chess on disks, unless I want to shell out $5 o $10 each.

Could someone provide me with a walkthrough, or hardware links on something that I can buy to do this?

Thanks in advance!

PS: My main PC is running Windows XP and I'll end up buying an Amiga 500, with 1.3 roms!

This is the machine I was looking to buy: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2787025673&category=4598

Thanks for the quick responses. It's either that machine or this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2786285106&category=4598

I don't really mind the cost of either (obviously)! I just want to make sure that for what I want, just playing some of the old games, that there is a deadfire way of doing it. Thoughts??

Ok ... looks like I am going to purchase a new Amiga 1200, from here --> http://www.compuquick-amigadirect.com/cgi-bin/shop/shop.cgi?keywords=_amiga_systems&cart_id=8127571_5488

unless someone could point me to another location for a similar type unit. Whether it be a 500, 600, or 600HD. I just need something!!!! Here is the question, which I am somewhat still confused on. I need to transfer ADF files from my PC. It looks like this Amiga is running WB 3.1 - so if you could tell me a sure fire way of transferring these disks, I would appreciate it. Also, if I need to buy any hardware to do this, like a null modem cable, could you please let me know where to buy these as well!

Thanks in advance!
