Ways to transfer ADF to actual floppies?

[desiv]

I have heard that transwarp on the Amiga and the Windows program "ADF Sender Terminal" under WINE under Linux.
I've also heard you can start transwarp on the Amiga and "cat" the file to the serial port.
Haven't tried that yet tho.
(It's on the list. :-)

OK, I can tell you for sure that ADF Sender Terminal ( http://adfsender.stoeggl.com/ ) running under WINE in Linux works for transferring floppies to the Amiga who was running transwarp.

I just installed it (I chose the ZIP package, unzipped and ran the installer with WINE), chose COM1 19,200.

I told the Amiga : transwarp -w ser: -b 19200

I hit enter.  Went to the PC, selected the image of Firepower I DLd.  And it started transferring.

Several  ...  several ... several minutes later (It is serial! :-), it was done.  Rebooted, and Firepower started...

The fastest I was able to transfer on my Amiga 500 safely was 19,200.  (The laptop I was using had this REALLY old USB-serial port adapter.  I think you're supposed to be able to get to 38,400 with a standard A500.
I'll have to see how fast I can transfer to the A1200....

Is that transwarp a small program that doesn't rely on a bunch of libraries and where is it storing the ADF?

Yeah, it's pretty tiny.  It uses the standard serial device, but you can also use the baudbandit device for supposed faster speeds.

It will let you set the baud rate to as fast as the Amiga can handle.

It would be useful if it can copy directly to physical disk.

That's exactly what it does.  It writes to floppy directly.
