Transport Data from PC/Mac to A1200
« on: February 10, 2006, 03:35:25 PM »
I own an A1200 now. And i want to build a CD-Rom in it to easy transport data and store data/Games on CD. To let the CD-rom work i need IDEfix. But how do i transport that one from a PC or Mac to the A1200.

Someone said us a CF card. So buyed me an cardreader from sweex and a CF card from 256 (smallest they had). So at the PrepCar program i see the Card (SanDisk SDP Version 4.1 5/3 0.6). But i can't run "Prepare as DISK". That it sais: "Unable to prepair card: Error while writing changes". On my Mac the card runs fine. Is the card to big? Or did i do something wrong?

Oh i'm useing 3.0

Gr Roman.

For the CF card, you must not use PrepCard !
you must take on Aminet.net :
MSD95
CompactFlash device
and put them at the good place, then reboot and it will be automounted  :-)

Do you have CrossDOS on you Workbench Disks ?
This would help to transfer Files.

Get a USB compact flash reader for your Mac. Plug in the card and format it as a DOS disk. Then use a PCMCIA card reader for the A1200. Install CFD and Fat95 on the Amiga, and it will automatically mount the compact flash card when you insert it.

Mount PC0 on your Amiga. Format a floppy disk as a DOS disk. Copy Fat95 and CFD on to the DOS disk. Put it in your Amiga and you will be able to see the files by copying them from PC0.

The files don't have icons. Change the view to Show All Files and you will see them. Use LHA to extract them.

you can find almost everything on Aminet
Archivers on Aminet
Note : some LHA programs are packed.. with LHA  :crazy:
I can extract them on windows with good old WinRAR
another Website with Archivers : http://www.amiga-stuff.com/archivers-download.html

Oh, I just must point out this: STAY AWAY FROM LHA22! That very version is beyond broken. Get hold of an older version instead!

I don't know fed up I became when I realised that 20+ of the large archives I had made with that very version were broken. And, no, it isn't just me that have experienced this... my two IRL Amiga-pals reported the very same problem.
