PCMIA ethernet network A1200 - OS 3.5?

[BouncingAyatollah]

I use OS3.9/Genesis to do this, running Samba on the Amiga side to either WinBloat or RedHat+Samba on the PC side.

You can get various tools to use on the Amiga side to access the other HDs, e.g. I use Tango, there are also things like smb-handler. In practice though, if you set up shares to be read/write you'll probably use the nicer GUI'ed/faster machine to do all the copying.

If you use CNET device I am sure you need a reset fix done or the clip-on fix for the PCMCIA port, when I was having trouble with Hydra I was considering CNET and the aforementioned clip-on but then found a way around the problems I was having.

All you need is CardReset (from Aminet) in your Startup-Sequence just

Yeah, I heard this and tried the two software reset fixes at the time, but I was having all sorts of problems.

As I recall (probably not that well) the card itself would be recognised with CNET device in the PCMCIA slot itself and not the Hydra adapter and one of the other parts of the software would try to reset it every time it was used, the software fixes reset it at boot (either the latest CNET device or one of the TCP stacks I tried).

One of the TCP stacks would just bomb out Opening hydrapcm.device if I used the Hydra adapter... and so on. Not much fun taking cards and Hydra adapter in and out of a PCMCIA v-adapter, wondering how many more changes I could get before a pin went Ping!

Finally I found Genesis did the trick with the Hydra in place, just worked first time.
