#Amiga/PC link help
6 messages in this thread
I have a B2000 and AT clone on my desk and would like to pass data between
them. I assume I can do this manually with a null-modem cable by writing
to/ reading from the serial ports but wonder if there is a more elegant
software solution which would perhaps give me a mini network? Preferably
free or cheap.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.

I would think that mutitasking a communications package on the Amiga, and
running a term progrm on the pc as a TSR and using a null modem cable would
be about as simple andcheap as you can get. Add Cross-Dos to the Amiga side
and you'll have an msdos filesystem at your disposal as well.

Michael,
Thanks for your comments. I had thought about using the setup you describe
although I hadn't thought of a TSR on the PC. I have a bridgeboard in the
Amiga and use Messydos, always meant to have a look at Cross-Dos but never
got around to it.

I've been in touch with a chap from the UK that is having trouble getting
Whap up & running on his system. I get the impression that he is disabled,
although I don't know the nature of it. He's a bit cantakerous, and tends
to shout before he speaks if he feels he's not getting attention (funny how
some folk who log on to CIS feel that because they're paying to be online,
EVERYONE _MUST_ talk to them).
In anycase, I think he would really appreciate someone from the UK dropping
him an EMAIL and saying hello, and maybe, if you've got the time/desire,
help him learn how to get the most from CIS, the AmigaForums etc.
Well, here's his name and ID# in case your willing. Be gentle…if he snaps
your head off, don't hold it against me, ok?

Michael,
Just read your message re Keith Richards. I can cope with being shouted at
– I too have a Caps Lock key <G>. OK, email sent. I suppose I had better
find the Whap! docs and refresh my memory as it is over a year now since I
installed it myself.
> don't hold it against me, ok? OK.
