...and was sort of resigned to having to upgrade the memory on it (enough to hold a complete .adf file), and then getting a serial cable, a USB->serial adapter for my PC, waiting for the slow serial transfer, etc.
It is MUCH nicer to be faster.. I love this new option..
But you wouldn't have had to wait for more memory..
Using serial and transdisk or transwarp (and ADF Sender Terminal on the PC), you can can send ADFs to the Amiga straight to the floppy. Takes very little Amiga memory.
Works fine with a 512k Amiga (and should even work with a 256k A1000 also).
I did that for quite a while with my 500.
And the USB serial adapters are cheap and work great on my laptop.
I like serial. It's great..
But, it is slow.. So this solution is VERY nice to have as well!!
(Unfortunately, it's unlikely to work with USB parallel ports, so laptops are out).
I just use my Kryoflux now tho.. Although it is slightly (cough cough cough) more expensive.. ;-)

(OK, I think I need a few more cough's there.. It's much more expensive, but FUN...)
