Move amigagames from PC>Amiga with nollmodem
« on: October 26, 2006, 12:23:00 PM »
Maybe many ask this before, But I ask again to get that answer I want..

I have a PC, Amiga500 with no specialfeature like HD, and a nollmodem-cable..

How can I transer over the program/games from my PC (adf-files I think) to my amiga and make it work..
I heard something of terminal?!, What program do I need for the PC, and do I need something extra to my Amiga500, like software, I only have a old workbenc-disk from the early 90th

Plz help me..

There is a utility called PC2Ami or somesuch, on aminet.
infact there are several, some making use of the parallel ports.

You need that null modem cable and some software on the pc side. It is enough with the WB disk on the amiga side if you use this program for the pc side: http://www.amigaforever.com/ae/
So basicly all you do is boot your amiga with Workbench disk and then fire up this program on the pc.

Since you dont have a harddrive you must also have sufficent RAM: on your amiga to store the .adf file. And you must also have a program like adfblitzer on the amiga so that you can extract the adf file to a blank floppy disk.

You could get Cloantos Amiga Explorer, that's what I use for this kind of stuff. Download the trial and make sure it works with your PC before buying it: http://www.amigaforever.com/ae/

If I understand right, I use amigaforever-trail, my nollmodemcable and the old workbench-disk.
I also have an extra diskdrive for my amiga, so I transfer over the copyprogram to the RAM and then on disk, somehow.'
Then I use the copyprogram-disk I made, somehow and transfer over the games via nullmodem and then copy to disk?

Is it possible to play the amigagames on my amiga and store the games on my pc.. Instead for a disk, I load the games from my pc via nullmodem?

My dream would be if I could use the pc for somekind of harddrivestorage for my amigaprograms..

Is it any free program out there, AmiExplorer seems to be useless unless if I dont wanna pay for it. And I won´t right now.

I remember using a program called pc2am, that should be relative easy to get working.
Its on aminet, but it seemes that aminet is down at the moment.

Here is an alternative method that can be used if aminet.net is down:
This page have a search engine for aminet. The search will work even if aminet.net is down, but the links to the files will not.
http://amifind.platon42.de/

Now, using the search above will give you the filename and a clue about which directory the file is located. The file itself can be downloaded from here:
http://ftp.wustl.edu/pub/aminet/
Note that this is probably not a complete mirror because I, but you will find the pc2am 308 archive, and also a help-document named Share-Amiga2PC.lha
