Amiga Explorer / NULL Modem / EasyNet / MiamiDx
« on: June 07, 2011, 12:41:00 PM »
Ok, in my continual search for a way to get files to/from the Amiga, I'm striking out on almost all fronts.  The only way I've been able to do it without any sort of error has been to burn a disc on the PC and use it that way.

Amiga Explorer is not working reliably with NULL Modem or TCP... I get COM and TCP read errors all over the place, regardless of EasyNet or MiamiDx when it is TCP.  I've done some successful transfers with NULL Model, but more times than not it simply errors out.  TCP appears to work ok at first but times out tryung to retrieve folder information to compute "time to copy".

So in a net search I came across the EasyNet capability of mapping to a PC drive.  However, when trying that to a Windows 7 machine that has the target drive completely open, I receive an error from the EasyNet software

"Mountlist STARTUP: bad template"

and

"Host Cannot be contacted!
Connection field contain not enough \"!

If anyone can provide insight into this I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm trying to copy a 200+ MB partition before I wipe it.  I want to simply save that software for later perusal.  Perhaps there is CD burining software I can get to the Amiga from a CD?  But even in that case, that would only solve the immediate problem because I'd like to have the transfer capability open as a future option and not rely on CD's.

Maybe get a cheap IDE to Compactflash adapter?

Otherwise I vote for a DENEB USB card which gives you USB stick or flash access, or just connect a compatible USB ethernet dongle.

I regularly backup (LHA) my complete HD to a USB stick which is 8x the size of the complete HD ;-)


YOU DA MAN!

I didn't even think about a flash drive but that makes perfect sense!  I have a 1GB sitting collecting dust.

Now, as to the other suggestions... I'll definately keep FTP in mind and I'll try the EasyNet suggestions.  I thought I was wide open but I admitedly am just starting to get used to Win 7 so I may have missed something.
