Transfer data between Amiga and Mac

[mauidj]

I am looking for the best way to move data and programs between my Mac and Amiga 3000T.

For example in need to access the install software for my 64/3D card which I downloaded on my Mac as my Amiga is not on-line.

Conversely, I want to put DPaint etc on my Mac running E-UAE.

I am installing a Deneb USB controller in the 3000T.

Memory sticks seems like the way or USB external floppy drive for the Mac?
What about formatting?

Sorry for the newb question.

Mahalo...and Aloha!

USB Thumb drives / memorysticks are the way to go.

They are FAT formatted so will work on the MAC / PC / Linux box - you can then copy files to them, unplug and plug into the DENEB USB and the USB flash drive appears as an icon on Workbench.  Double click on the icon and you can read/write all your files- just like a regular floppy drive.

A fast and easy way of getting data from the MAC to your A3000T

That's exactly what I was hoping to hear.   :-D

So very cool.

Like you say it not only solves my data transfer issue but opens up a world of peripherals to use with the Miggy.

I'm placing the order now.
Thanks to you all for your input
Aloha!

If you have got a network card in your miggy,
just allow ftp access on your Mac and use
AmiTradeCenter..

It works and it's fast, that's what I do...


Wol.

What network card do you recommend?

@ amigakit

What OS version is required to use EasyNet?

@amigakit

I notice the X-Surf includes an IDE port.
Can I attach a HD to this and boot from it?

And would that be a better solution than using a SCSI drive?

[mauidj]

So if I am getting the Deneb controller then the Buddha is a bit redundant eh?

I don't have any IDE drives and USB would seem to be a better interface for future HD, CD, DVD needs.

@amigakit

Order for Deneb and X-Surf sent. (plus OS 3.9)

Can't wait to get them.
Many mahalos. :-D
