LHA with transadf
« on: June 01, 2009, 08:55:36 PM »
Hi - I have an amiga 600 with HD using workbench 2.05 - I can transfer adf files ok using transadf but when I try to unzip LHA files using transadf it doesn't seem to work.

I choose a location on the hard drive but when I go there the files are not present.  I changed the view settings on workbench to show all files rather than just icons but still I can't see the LHA files.

Basically all I want to do is transfer LHA files which enable me to install original games to hard drive as my originals are obviously very old and I don;t want to keep using them.  Could anyone help!

Ok - have now changed to using workbench 2.1 and having a bit better success.  Sorry to be a bore but I will just explain what I am doing and where I get problems

1. I click on EasyADF which loads from disk
2. I click on top right box to "show LHA files"
3. I select "kickoff2.lha" file
4. I then select "uncompress LHA archive" which now becomes available
5. I then save to RAM disk
6. I then click on LHA icon on ram disk
7. LHA prompt box appears and i type  LHA x myadf.adf HD0:

at this point i get the following message;

cannot open mathieedoubbas.library version 37. lha failed return code 900

can anyone help??

Amigakit - have you got a rough estimate of when you will be able to send the disk - Did you receive me Pm??

Arghhh!!!! - Thanks for emailing me the adf file - unfortunately my amiga is now no longer recognising the pcmcia  CF0 storage device - when I boot up my old transadf disk it states no disk in CF0 - I also no longer get the icon when I put the memory card into the pcmcia slot  - I reformated my disk as previously this sorted it out but still no joy -

I checked the mount cfo file and it states cfo already mounted.

anything else i should check

Brilliant got it all sorted now - can now extract LHA aswell.

I checked prepcard and released that the card wasn't fully in - Doh.  Thanks Amigakit for a great service.
