Using downloaded software on an Amiga?
« on: April 29, 2004, 11:03:43 AM »
Hello,

is it possible to use downloaded software on an Amiga 500? Like games from www.back2roots.com ? Because I one time bought an old Amiga 500 without accosoirs, I'm going to *repair* it. But I don't have software at all (not even Workbench (unless someone can send me a copy, hehehe))... I can make a network with a PC via serial or paralel port. But I don't have diskettes to install it to the PC's harddrive. Is it possible to install it on the PC's harddrive with a program (emulator or something) and then choose which program to load on the Amiga (and how?). Or is there a way of loading PC formatted diskettes with the Amiga (I thought there was some kind of program for, but I don't have that on diskette... ) I also don't have workbench on diskette (yes I have it in ADF  ) Or is there some kind of program which puts an ADF on diskette?

PS is there any program which can put files on an ADF?

But I wanna use my Amiga back again... I don't have any software anymore, no workbench at all. So it won't be possible to put a program as Term on the floppy so I cannot reseave programs on my amiga  :-?  Or is it???

-edit-
anyone? please? help me out  :-(  Isn't it possible to put some files on my computer, connect the computer to the amiga, and then boot the amiga, that the amiga would just think a hard drive is connected to it and then I can use the files on the hard-drive of my pc (just thinking  :-? )
