Amiga To PC via pcmcia network
« on: August 31, 2004, 08:25:56 PM »
hey all just placed my first order at amigakit.com for an ethernet card for my A1200, is it easy to setup to transfer files from the pc?

Thanks

In order to install OS3.9 though, I'll need to link to my pc via ethernet for a cd-rom... as I don't have a working one on my miggy. All I really wanna do is transfer game files from back2roots though  :-)

My cable modem actually has a LAN connection on it to plug straight to ethernet... I have thought about this but I'd need a web browser, wouldn't I? As the only way of moving files I have right now is crossdos wouldn't getting a web browser on the amiga be quite hard?

The only problem with using Samba is it comes in CD format with the card (I have no working CD-Rom) and is too big to transfer via floppy...

Thanks for the tips, I'm now transferring AWeb 3.4 though, by disk/hand and I'm gonna try downloading the files straight to the amiga.
