Serial ADF transfer to/from Linux?
« on: January 26, 2009, 03:02:10 PM »
Anybody had success transferring ADFs with transwarp to/from Linux? (or using something other than transwarp?)

I have no trouble transferring ADFs back & forth with transwarp & Windows (using ADF Sender Terminal), so I know everything's OK on the Amiga side, the cabling is fine, etc.

I believe the Linux side should be as simple as this (replacing ttyX with the appropriate device):
cat filename.adf >/dev/ttyX (to send to the Amiga)
cat /dev/ttyX >filename.adf (to receive from the Amiga)

That appears to work for sending (i.e. it writes 80 tracks to a disk), but the resulting disk is always bad. My best guess is that the serial port is misconfigured somehow (I believe I have the baud rate set correctly along with 8N1 and RTS/CTS, but perhaps something else is awry).

So, if you've had success with this, I'd be interested to see the output from "stty -a" for your serial port to see how you've got it configured.

Thanks.
