2) Assuming your A500 has enough RAM (which is unlikely) you could set up a serial network on one Amiga boot disk, use this transfer the adf to the A500's ramdisk, and write it to floppy from there. A finicky option with loads of potential trouble and unlikely to work with less than 2MB of RAM - which, as far as I remember, stock A500s weren't supplied with.


It is possible to write the data directly from serial line to disk and this works even on stock A500. Get ADF sender terminal and transdisk (from the same page) and read the FAQs and docs carefully. All you need is WorkBench 1.3 disks.

Yes, I know transferring a disk image thru serial is damn slow but propably the cheapest option. And if you use 8 minutes to transfer the disk, you propably play it for hours   :-D
