Hi Everyone
After a couple of years of using emulation software to relive my childhood I have bought myself an A500. I have researched transferring my adf's onto amiga disks, however I have hit a stumbling block. All the instructions I have found have need Workbench 2.0 and above, as well as Kickstart 2.0 and above. Is is possible to do it with WB/K1.3? Or would I be better off getting a Catweasel card for my PC and doing it that way?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I apologise if this has been covered in an earlier post, however I am at work and haven't had chance to look through all the forum.
I converted a bunch of games from adf to amiga format. I had a pc and an a1000.
What i had to do was fire up workbench ( 1.2 ), go into the preferences applet, ( where the slider bars are for screwing up your wb colors, mouse speec, etc ) And configure serial port to 19200 along with bumping up the serial port buffer to the max setting.
Then you format a floppy.
I had a program on the PC which would take the ADF file and send it out the serial port.
After that i went to the CLI and did something like copy ser0: DF1:
I cant remember exactly what i did... I dont remember the program i used on the pc either... It worked great though, and took like 2 minutes to get an adf on the floppy.
I remember doing something with amiga basic as well to get adf images from the serial port to the floppy... I wish i had more information. I am sure somebody here remembers.
