Remote amiga software?
« on: September 06, 2007, 01:29:39 AM »
Hey All,

I was wondering if there were ever any kind of remote desktop software for controlling an Amiga from a PC.

I bought the Siamese RTG system years ago but my CD is now unreadable.

I scanned Aminet with no luck.

Thanks for your thought everyone.

@Matt_H,

I looked at the docs for AmiVnc and it seems that my 030/aga A1200 might be a bit slow for this. I'm still going to give it a shot.

@Unit21,

Yep, My CD is also one of those cheapo green CD-R's. It sucks because I know I paid well over $100 for it back in 99'. I just won another copy off ebay that I'm waiting for. If it still works I'm going to burn multiple copys of it. Maybe I could put it up on my web site so unfortunate folks could get a new copy?. Not sure if thats illegal or not since the author abandon it long ago?

@All,

Maybe if my new copy works I could make it available only to people that can prove to me that they have a legit copy?.

I've paid for it twice now! :-?

@Unit21,

It still requires a 68040 or greater though  :-(

Reason to upgrade my A1200? :-P

I recieved my new Siamese 2.5 CD in the mail last night that I won off ebay. I put it in my MacBook and it came up on the desktop, but everytime I try and copy something off of it it just gets "stuck" in the middle of the transfer.

I'm afraid that this CD is on the brink of death. I tried it in my PC with the same results. I was able to launch one of the .exe files on my PC with succses though.

Anybody know of any good freeware cd salvage programs for the Mac/PC? :boohoo:
