Low-cost networking A500+-Linux PC?

[hayashi]

Hi,

Right now, in order to transfer files from my PCs to my Amiga, I have to use a 720kb DOS-formatted disk (sneakernet xD), transferring from my dad's PC (the floppy drive on mine won't work for some reason - I seem to have a real knack for killing floppy drives) to the Amiga using MultiDOS (which I currently have to set up by going into a CLI and typing pcmountall - how would I get it to run at startup?), which is bearable but I wish there was a faster and less annoying way (MultiDOS can sometimes be a bit tedious with the way it handles the floppy drive).

Is there any way I could connect the A500+ to one of the other computers in my room, using a parallel or serial  (DE-9 to DB-25?) cable (neither of which I currently have), in order to transfer files, without needing to purchase expensive equipment?

Thanks in advance, Matt

Hmm. I've had a brief look on eBay and AmigaKit, but can't find a DE9-female to DB25-female serial cable, just a DE9-female to DB25-male. (Adapters?)

EDIT: Ah, found one. Looked in the wrong section (Cables as opposed to Networking). Now to save up for one, as I have absolutely no money whatsoever at the moment ._.
