I got this from the ParBench extra readme file. 1. ATN.LHA — Amiga Turbo Network. This archive contains the shareware competitor for ParNET. It allows up to 8 Amigas to be connected VIA their parallel ports with a special daisy chain style cable scheme. This version is a demo that only allows transfers of 50k or less. Oh yes, the docs are in german. Anyone have the time to translate them and send them to me in english? 🙂 I would like to hear how this program worked for you as I never had the time build the cable. 2. ParPC.LHA – This file was downloaded from the Deep Thought BBS (former home of what was known as The Software Distillery and is now the home of Home Brew Software). It is a set of software for PC Compatibles and Amigas that allow the standard Amiga ParNET to interchange data with PC-Compatibles VIA a standard Amiga Parnet cable. included is a schematic for building the interface for the PC Compatible. This is a pretty major hardware job and so far I know of no one who has built one for testing. If you do, please drop me a line and let me know how it worked for you. Also, this file is VERY sparse in the documentation, but does include source code. I was unable to find any information as to the distributability of this file except in as much as it was available on a public doamin BBS and was bundled with ParNET which is freely distributable. If you know anything more about the heritage of this file please contact me. 3. SerNET24.LHA- This is a serial version of ParNET that is supposed to operate over Matt Dillons DNET software. I have been unable make this work and would encourage someone who has this working to inform me as to just how the heck you got it to work! 🙂 If I can find a way to make this work I will include it in an upcoming version of ParBENCH as an option. Any help would be appreciated.
