parnet

I have used Parnet to connect my Amiga 500 with my Amiga 1200. Haven't got any problems with it at all, even though the Amiga 500 is running Kickstart1.3.

I have been using a cable that's about 10 meters. I have been told that it's not a good idea to go further, but haven't got that confirmed.

Only thing I remember about Parnet is that it's a bit tricky to get disk icons for each drive on the remote computer, but since I only used the setup once or twice a year I didn't bother playing around with it.

@DanDude

Could be nice to see some shots of the box, so have you been able to dig it out? I would like to make one myself if I knew how, so have you got some schematics for it?

If you onle need 3 meters then there is no problem at all.

Regarding software installation then I had a Parnet 3.0 disk which had an installer script for installing server and a script for installing remote. Then you edit the file S:ParNET-DriveList or something and then you should be able to mount the drives you need on each side.
