Amiga <-----> PC - Parallel cable!

[Daniele]

Do you know what kind of program can I use on the PC to see Amiga files with a parallel cable.
Cloanto Amiga Explorer works only with serial and TCP.
Do exist a PC program that works with parallel?

Thanks

PC2Amiga is the best, but I'm not sure if there is a way to make it work on Windows NT.

Would it work with "Compatibility mode" somehow?

um, I doubt it.
its a known problem with other windows software that tries to access hardware directly, look here

PC2Amiga is very very good. I remember using it in '95 on A500 softkicked to KS2 and parallel cable. IIRC, I got about 50Kb/s!

but a word of advice: be extra careful about the cable and its length.. etc. The CIA chips can fry easily and it seems to me parallel port is more sensitive then serial.
