1. How can I transfer this artwork from my CF card onto any other device?



If this were my Minimig or 1200 I'd have several options.

Saving the images to PNG on the Amiga is easy unless they are HAM. I'd probably use Personal Pant's screen grabber function and just save it as .PNG.  

To physically transfer the file:

If it were a huge amount of files (or somethig really large) I'd mount the CF(or HD or SD card) with a USB adapter on my PC and boot WinUAE with a drive mapped to my PC and just copy the files over. That is a lot of work to go through (even on minimig) just to get a few (relatively) low-resolution images transferred when, in my case, sometimes, I just want to periodically send over some c code snippets or screenshots like you are doing.

For that I may use serial port. You just need a null serial cable connected between your PC and Amiga. I use a Bluetooth serial adapter as none of my PCs have serial port.  From there you have some pretty good options like Amiga Explorer (which I cant seem to get to work over BT) or just transfer the files with ncomm.

Because you have an A1200 a really good option would be PCMCIA network card. You could FTP the files. My A1200 is pretty strong with the 060 so I can even mount windows shares with samba. I don't recommend that option unless you have 040 or better.

Finally, the holy grail would be the SUBWAY USB adapter, then you could write them to directly to USB flash drive.

Anyway, good luck :) I like your artwork :)

I've just found the Subway via Google on Amigakit, although I couldn't find it when I searched on their site. Unfortunately, it's £100, so that's out of my price range.


Yeah, unfortunately that is probably not an unreasonable price.... they went for under 100 usd new, but now obviously they go for more...

Additional note: is CrossDOS still around? I think that's the one I used way back, on my A2000. Although I think I recall another one (something like AmigaToDOS or ...hmm...name escapes me). It was for moving files back and forth between PC and Amiga or Amiga and PC.


I thought crossdos became a standard part of 3.1 or maybe even before that.. maybe I'm mistaken... should be able to read/write 720k as long as you have the driver from storage.
