Amiga serial question for Sarah Kreuz, or somebody.

Post by Commie_User »

Does anybody know how to have the Amiga directly access disk images on the PC hard drive? C64TPC can use a serial connection to read and write without physical disk transfer so surely the Amiga can try.

I'm using Amiga Forever, which has serial copying and emulators and things. Though, sadly, the Amiga Explorer and emulator can't couple up, meaning I can't access the Amiga connection outside the Explorer applet. Not on the version I've got anyway.


These folks say something can be done but a shaky emulated 'hard drive' interface is not quite what I'm after: http://www.amiga.org/forums/archive/ind ... 30354.html






Want all this again, but on the Amiga please. (Oh, and Atari ST too if that's no bother.)

I know I can just run disk images on an emulator or use transfer software with a few blue disks. That's fine. I would just like that extra option of using the PC as a straight disk interface. If anyone has the solutions I'd be very grateful.

Thanks.
