Just bought an A500....
« on: October 05, 2005, 01:54:51 PM »
Hi Everyone

After a couple of years of using emulation software to relive my childhood I have bought myself an A500.  I have researched transferring my adf's onto amiga disks, however I have hit a stumbling block. All the instructions I have found have need Workbench 2.0 and above, as well as Kickstart 2.0 and above. Is is possible to do it with WB/K1.3? Or would I be better off getting a Catweasel card for my PC and doing it that way?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I apologise if this has been covered in an earlier post, however I am at work and haven't had chance to look through all the forum.

A huge thanks to you all. I will be investing in Amiga Forever in the near future as a result of your recommendations.

OK, Back again!

I have a null modem serial cable, however it is 9-pin at both ends. Does anybody know if it is possible to use one of the amiga joystick ports as a receiving serial port to save me having to get an adaptor for it? I am sure I read somewhere that you can. If so, what are the required settings on both sides? I have downloaded a trial version of Amiga Explorer and the initial transmission seems to be leaving the PC but not going into the amiga RAM as it is supposed to.

Again, any help/advise would be greatly appreciated.
