Trnasferring files from PC to Amiga using parallel cable?
« on: September 11, 2007, 04:24:28 PM »
Is it possible to transfer files from the PC to the Amiga using a parallel cable instead of a null modem serial cable? I've read that it is possible, but I've never tried it. Also, if it can be done, how does one go about doing it? I have no null modem serial cable, or for that matter any other way of getting files to the Amiga at this point, so this is sort of a last ditch effort.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Great,I happen to have an older PC laying around somewhere, so I should be fine. I have the PC2Amiga program, though I've never used it before so I really have no idea what to do. Can you tell me how to set everything up?

I'm still confused about one thing-how does one get the Amiga's config files TO the Amiga?

I don't have it. I've been practically pleading over in the Marketplace board for either that or a version of Workbench that includes it.

The idea of transferring just isn't going to work because I don't have CrossDOS or any similar program (or an OS that comes with it) at present, and it doesn't look like I'm having very much luck finding anyone who can give me a copy of such a program (I mean that literally by the way-I'll take a copy-it doesn't have to be an original disk, I don't care).

Well, with any luck hopefully some generous person here will come forward with a copy of CrossDOS, or WB 2.1.

Please read my post (which you quote), or perhaps read these instructions. Or read both.

I really appreciate everyone's help, but I really think that I'm going to go with an A1200 instead of trying to somehow get files over to the A500. I'm selling all my current Amiga stuff (check my A1200 thread in the Marketplace for details on exactly what is for sale), and I'll just use that money toward the 1200. I have my eye on a couple that are currently on Ebay, so hopefully I'll be able to snag one of them.
