inferno inquired:

hey guys, i got the drivers and samba and all those things, and theyre on my pc. But how do i get the floppies working on the amiga. I got a parallel cable, and i could have used that but, i can't find any software, or in fact software that works. I'm in a bit of a bummer situation. If any1's wondering, i copied the pc0 and pc1 and their info files from 'STORAGE', and the drivers are 'mounted' however when i put a dos disk in, there is just an icon with: pc0: ?? below it. Any ideas?  :-?

;-) To move the software from the PC to the Amiga, you'll have to remember that the Amiga 1200 can only read and write to Double Density floppies.  In a pinch, High Density floppies can be formatted as Double Density, but you’ll have to tape over the extra hole to trick the PC into expecting DD.

;-) The full version of Genesis comes with AmigaOS3.9, and Miami can be downloaded from Aminet.  However, Aminet's version of Miami is a demo version which will time out after thirty minutes.

AmigaSamba.org has an on-line tutorial with example configurations and such.  It's really good.  There were also articles in Amiga Format and Amiga Active magazines.
