TCP for A1200 on OS3.1

[z36ra]

Trying to get TCP working on a A1200. It's an original console with no expansion. I got a PCMCIA NIC and driver is installed.

Am I wasting my time trying to do this without an accel card, fastram, OS3.9...etc?

I need TCP stack that isn't a demo. I am willing to pay a reasonable amount for it if anyone knows where to get it.

Is There a package that can be copied to my 1200 from a CDROM on my PC using AExplorer over a serial connection, that can get me up an running on my NIC?

All I want is to use AExplorer over a TCP network at 10mb/s on OS 3.1.

Could be tricky if you don't have any fastram. I used to have 2MB chip and 1MB fast in my A3000, and after running Miami I had hardly any memory for even very small applications. Perhaps some old version of AmiTCP is less demanding?

The best way to transfer files from PC to Amiga (without an Ethernet connection) is to store them on 720K floppies. AmigaOS can read them if you activate the PC0 dosdriver.

I successfully used AmiTCP V3 on an A500 with Kick 2.0 and a total of 2.3MB RAM. There was enough memory left to run Yam and AMosaic. AmiTCP V3 comes on the Gold Fish Volume 2 CD. The full version of AmiTCP V2 is on Aminet. But I don't know if these work with Ethernet cards. I used a serial modem back then.

Bye,

You really need a hard disk and 8M or more Fast RAM otherwise the A1200 is only good enough to play games

Well I have Termite on the way. Picked it up on Ebay. Will see what happens.  I'm hoping that termite will work with the pcmcia card and cnet driver.

Again, all I need is to be able to transfer files quickly without 720K floppy (what a pain).

The serial controller will only do 19200 baud and 38400 is not an option in the settings for the 1200. It's excrutiatingly slow. it takes about 15 minutes to download a 1M file.
