I still have my old Amiga 1200 with tons'o floppies which we haul out for some games & laughs every now and then.
However it would have been nice (and space-saving) to be able to run games from ADF files on my PC, instead of having the floppies spread all over the livingroom every time.

So I was wondering if there is any solution/kit able to run ADF files located on my PC/laptop, directly on the 1200.
My 1200 has no harddisk so I am not able to transfer and convert ADF files.

I was considering one of these, can it be used to run ADF files directly from the CF-card:

Or running ADF files over WLAN would be even better, can this be done with a card like this or any similar:

You can transfer and convert ADF files using Amiga Explorer... even without a hard drive.  You simply drag the ADF over the floppy on the amiga.


BUT, I don't think you can just mount them... I can't remember ... so you might need to create disks.

Just google it. All you need is a null modem cable.
