Need some help....getting back into the game....
« on: December 16, 2010, 06:58:06 PM »
I am rediscovering the Amiga. Back in the day I had a Full blown A2000/030/8MB RAM/ whatever size HD I could afford/Flicker Fixer, you name it!!!

Well, I recently reacquired an A1200/KS 3.0/40MB.

I have added a GVP 1230 Turbo+ 40/40/8 to it.  I have no floppies for this system.

I ordered a new set of WB 3.0 from Software Hut, they should be in soon. I found out that my MacSense AeroCard Wireless PCMCIA is compatible withe the A1200.

My question is how do I get the drivers downloaded from the internet to a PC back over to the Amiga?? I can't install the wireless drive cause I have no disk and without a driver, no internet connectivity, talk about a Catch 22.

Can you guys help? I haven't used an Amiga since 1994. I have forgotten a lot since then.

What sort of drivers on your PC are you trying to install onto an Amiga ???


If I download Amiga software/drivers on my PC, how do I move them over....

The PC I was going to use for this still has a floppy drive on it. I will give that a try. I totally forgot that the Amiga could read 720k floppies.  Is it possible to replace the 880k floppy in the A1200 with a 1.76?? Will the ROM/OS recognize it?

Use your A1200 to format a 720bk floppy and put it in the pc. If your pc still have floppy, though....
