ami-pc I having problems linking my a600 to a pc. Help!
« on: January 25, 2006, 11:53:21 AM »
I've recently bought the AMI-PC kit (cable, floppy and cd rom).
The problem I have is this;

I run the pc2amres.exe on my pc.
When I try to run the program "mountPC4KS3" on the Amiga I get the following message in a new window.
 
can't open prefs/en-archive/sys/def_disk.info for input object not found.
can't open prefs/en-archive/sys/def_pc.info for input object not found.
ERROR: Device 'PC:' already mounted.
Can't open def_disk2.info for input - object not found.
 
No 'PC' icon appears on the desktop of the Amiga (and I always run the pc2amres.exe program on the PC first).

I've tried this with 2 amiga computers and 2 dirfferent PC's and still no joy.
It's as if 2 or 3 files that should be on my amiga in the prefs folder are not there.
Do you have any idea what the problem could be or do you know anyone who would.
Thanks for you time.

Thanks for the reply.

The PC operating system is windows 2000, the Amiga operating system is work bench 3.1
Kickstart version 37.300
Workbench version 40.42.

I've run the programme from both the a600's hard drive and the floppy to no avail!

I'm going to try it with a A1200 tomorrow at work.

It still seems to me that some files are not in the prefs draw that it needs to run.

Where did you get the weird science kit from?

All the best.

Amimamator.

Nope.
Still same problem with the a1200.
Maybe this program only works with 98/95.

This is a pain in the butt because there was nothing in the info for the program that said it was just for 95/98!

Thanks again.

I'll check out wiered science!
