Copying floppy's from A600 to A600
« on: April 05, 2011, 08:01:40 AM »
I kinda screwed up my external floppy drive as needed the db23 female connector from the pcb. The external drive does not even power up anymore (used to be working).

I bought the SD Floppy Emulator from Lotharek, installed it in my other A600 and it works fine.

I have two A600's and I'm wondering is there a way that I could read some adf's from the SD card on the other A600 and then copy them to a real floppy's using the vanilla A600 that I own? A cable between the two Mig's maybe?

And is there a way to make yourself an external floppy drive for classic Amigas's  (from 880kb drive)?

You could link the two via a NULL MODEM cable that you can either make yourself or buy one. And use something like PARnet or PROnet from AmiNet to transfer data between the two... :)

PCMCIA Port with a PCMCIA CF Card Adaptor ?

Although you could link up the Amigas with a serial null-modem cable or a ParNet cable, I think you would be better off using a PCMCIA card reader like one of these:

another vote for PCMCIA CF adapter. Very easy process.

Id only recommend null modem cable if you are below the age of 20.




Because when you are done transferring 5 disks, you'll be 30 years older :)

Ok, thanks for all the answers.

I think that it's easiest for me to get a new external floppy drive and write  adf's back to disk's from the A600 that has the SD Floppy Emulator.

It's a shame that I selled my Belkin null modem cable thinking that I would never use it again since I have networked my A1200...

Oh, just one question more :lol: :

Is there such a program that one could write adf's back to floppies from A600's hard drive?
I have couple of CF-IDE adapter's & CF card's lying around...
