Ethernet using PCMCIA on A1200
« on: August 07, 2004, 11:27:16 PM »
I got PCMCIA Ethernet card for A1200 (3com and supported by 3c589.lha), now what?  
:-?
Please dont tell me that MIAMI and SAMBA and FTP is the only way to exchange files with windows ;)
('cause I've heard its next to impossible to configure)


and I'd like to use it with switch; hope that doesn't complicate things a lot..

Could you tell me more about Miami and FTP?
Is Miami commercial product or can it be freely downloaded from Aminet?
(there are sooo many results when searching for it on Aminet)

What FTP program is good for A1200?

I've got only 4Mb (8Mb doesn't work with PCMCIA), will that be enough for all these programs?

Is MUI required?

YES, smbfs is GREAT, it works :-)
I get about 200kbytes/sec and thats more than enough.
I am getting a bit greedy now, though  8-) and thinking about using genesis instead of miami.

Whats the difference between Miami and MiamiDX?
I've got KS3.0 and WB3.0, can newer versions of Genesis work on it or they require OS3.9?

I'd like to use parnet so that my other Amiga can access network drives, can it be done?

Is there anything better than watch for measuring speed of transfer?
