Just start CrossDOS on the Amiga and format a 720 KB PC disk, and copy the files to the disk from the PC. The files aren't that big that they can't fit the disk.

what do you mean "nothing ever seems to work"?

The DMS files has to be unarced before you can use it. Find a program that can handle most of the compression files, similar to UnARC from the OS3.9 CD.

If you have DMS in C: just write this line in shell to get the disk image uncompressed to disk so you can use it

dms write squirrelscsi.dms or what ever the file is called.

Well, good to know that the stuff I have sold is not giving any problems :)

What kind of help do you need? Are you trying to install a SCSI harddrive or a SCSI CD drive? And your Ami to PC link, what is it exactly?

If you are on broadband with the PC, and have a router or a hub, it's real easy to get the Amiga online. Your Amiga is capable of it with the accelerator.

Feel free to send me an email with all the questions you have; not sure I know the answer to all of them, but most of them I'm sure :)

It's easier to setup a network with the PC if you are using a ethernet card, but as it's a PCMCIA card you are most likely to use, then you can't be online and using a cd at the same time. You could make the CD on the PC a shared device though, and then you could use that instead.

Your choice, but I believe you are wrong. I trasfered 3 gig MP3s to my Amiga using a 10 MBit ethernet card, and it took about an hour, or an hour and a half. Can't do that with CDs I believe.

I can mount my PC drives on my Amiga, and access them like it was an actual drive connected to the Amiga.

I hope the drivers for the SCSI interface turns up though.
