WinUAE <-> A500 via transdisk & null modem?
« on: January 19, 2006, 05:16:29 PM »
So I dug up the old A500, and I've been able to transfer ADF images using ADF Sender Terminal and transdisk. It's a beautiful thing.

HOWEVER, I was wondering if it's possible to do an "Amiga-to-Amiga" transfer between WinUAE and the real thing, simply using transdisk. I have WB1.3 and transdisk on each end, and I'm trying to send from one and receive on the other, like so:

WUAE: transdisk >ser: -d trackdisk 1
A500: transdisk -w ser: -d trackdisk 1

When I do this, WinUAE acts like it's sending the tracks, but the A500 sits at 0, waiting to receive a track. I suppose it's possible that WinUAE is doing something strange with the serial port, but I haven't explored this possibility yet.

So.. does anyone know if it's even /possible/ for transdisk to work this way? I just want to make a copy of a disk, using the serial port with a null modem cable to transfer.

And just in case you're wondering.. I have some .IPF images for WinUAE and I'm looking for a method to get them onto REAL Amiga disks..

Argh, I can't believe I didn't already think of that. Thanks for the idea.

It does add an extra step, though. Anyone else? :)
