My Amiga 2000...

[scuzzb494]

I use Parnet to connect my PC with the Amiga. Not sure if thats what you are doing. You have to set the software up on the PC and the Amiga and use the suitable cable... which is I think what you have. I also have ZIP disk drives on my Amiga and PC and so with 100MB per disk it covers most of my Amiga software.

Good to hear the 2000 is up and running. Great machine and pretty bullet proof as you have discovered.

I hadn't heard of Parnet before. It looks like it needs another custom cable so it's probably just as good/bad as the Amiga Explorer solution via null-modem cable. I have no idea why my standard cables aren't working so I'll need to track down a multimeter and go from there.

The ZIP drive is a good idea - I found a bunch of ZIP disks in my shed just the other day. There is supposed to be an external drive that goes with the disks but I don't remember if I gave it away years ago. I see more searching in my shed in the near future... :lol: The main issue is going to be getting drivers to my Amiga.

I feel like I am in a egg before the chicken situation - I need to connect to my Amiga to get drivers so that I can connect to my Amiga
