ehm, you mean the c directory on my Amiga, or the C numbered partition on my harddisk?

Well, the first has 64 files, and the latter has 143,652 files

How do you manage to keep only 64 files? where are your archivers, small utilities like editors, etc..

Actually, I got an A500 + A590 hd expansion, very very basic, and have a plain installation of WB 1.3. I only do games and a bit fun stuff with it (still need some good mod tracker program), all the packing and other processing stuff is being done with PC. I got a serial cable link between my A500 and my PC, using Amiga Explorer from Cloanto as communication program (wich works great btw :-D)
There was only one WB disk included with my second hand A500, the extra's disk was corrupted :-(. Maybe I should get some nice s/w package with all kinds of usefull/fun (commercial as well as PD) software and tools and so. Any reccomendations?

I have got a lot of old programs for A500, unfortunately they are pretty useless (most of them are disk copy like x versions of XCopy)
Does that Cloanto package allow PC to browse A500 files and works on win2k/xp?
If not, I don't see much advantage compared to PC2Amiga.
Have you tried networking it with winuae using one of many nullmodem Amiga networks from Aminet?

I got Amiga Explorer because I didn't have any program to use a null modem with on the Amiga. I could have written a program to use a null modem on my amiga, I found some M$ basic code on the internet, IF I had any basic compiler on my Amiga. I mean, I had nothing but a single workbench disk. I couldn't find a description on the internet to use the serial port with workbench. No, that was included in the Amiga Explorer package :roll: :lol:
Anyhoo, it works now, and I think AmigaExplorer should work under XP (controlling the serial porst really shouldn't be a problem in fact). It allows you easily with a drag and a drop to write and extract (also any NDOS) disks and also you can extract the kickstart with a single drag 'n drop
