I am not clear on one point, do you need the original disks, or can you download the games as well.

If you have a downloaded ADF which is identical(ish) to the original floppy then it won't make a difference to WHDLOAD.  If you're really lucky you might even be able to find some complete WHDLOAD packs out there in good old cyberspace.

Hi folks,

I have purchased a PCMCIA ethernet network card kit from ebay a while back for this purpose.. Anybody have info for me?

cheers Baz

If you're using the original floppy games and WHDLoad installs (as opposed to packs [install + game data]) then no, you do not need your PCMCIA network card.

What most people do is buy a Transfer kit (get the card at the same time) to transfer data easily between the PC and the Amiga.

You can even run WINUAE on the PC to test/setup programs (including the OS!) before transferring to the real thing.  This way your floppy drive is pretty much redundant :-D
