Amiga to PC file trans..

[Jpan1]

Festive hello to All Amigans!

I would like to back up my Amiga music and Gfx files to a pc> specifically to use the with PC music and GFX software.

Question is that my files are on amiga HD and if I stick this 2.5hd into an external case and plug it into the USB port on my PC (I don't have a parrallel port) is it possible to extract the neccessary file onto a PC hard drive?

I really would like to use Octamed music files on my PC and some of my old Dpaint stuff and re work them.

what the best option?

Thanx for the tips!
I am looking at getting a CF card for the Amiga Pmcia port.
It's a shame not more hardware produced utilizing this port,,, then perhaps I could do wireless transfer to my PC laptop if that was possible on a humble 1200!

Hmm..Seems that there are a few possibilities but I guess the easiest option without spending too much on adapters and cables would be preferable.
If I rememeber I have a 4way buffered IDE interface in the Ami and I could write files to a CD with a CD writer.
But still think a connceting a the 2.5 drive to an external case would be the best.
Cheers!

Thanks to all for the suggestions!
Managed to copy files via a null modem cable
(from Maplins - lots of wierd and wonderfull stuff there)
and TwinExpress software.
It was quicker than I thought at the old baud rate of 9600!
(BTW - I packed the files using lha. to save time during the transfer)
However, although the emulated Amiga works well, I still prefer using the real Amiga for Dpaint and stuff!
So cheers and a Happy New year!
