I've had this problem for a while now and i'm stumped.
My various bits of kit are;
1. a 500+ with a 590HD attached.
2. a 1200
3. a PC with Amiga explorer
4. a Mac
I'm trying to get some Octamed files from the 590HD to my Mac. The problems are as follws;
The 500 won't connect to the PC with Amiga Explorer but the 1200 is OK.
The floppy drive on the 500+ is shot to pieces, I've just bought an external floppy drive off eBay, it doesn't work either and some of the files I want to transfer are too big for a DD floppy anyway (some are 1.7 Mb). So copying the files from the 500 to the 1200 via floppy is out of the question.
I've heard that I can connect the 500 to the 1200 directly and copy the files, how do I do it? (please excuse my ignorance, I've searched the net and found nothing about this).
Can I somehow make use of the SCSI connection on the back of the 590 to get to the files. I've read that the SCSI on the 590 is Mac compatible but I don't have a manual for it so the operation of it is a mystery. I have an external Yamaha 8424 burner on the Mac, but don't know if it will work on the 500.
Any help that forum members can provide will be gratefully recieved and put to good use.
Thanks in advance,
