Hi Gary, the "ooops"-section of your reply . . . well, exactly that was my problem. But what about a serial hookup. Is there a terminal program in AMIGAs OS ? (the model in question is a 500 btw) . . .or is the serial port reliable enough to copy the raw data to SER: ? Thanks for your time Thomas

Tom, You've just passed the point of my expertise. I have never done a null modem, serial port transfer, so cannot advise you there. However, over the years I've seen messages from lots of people who have. Why not post a new message with the heading "Help-Null modem transfer". That should bring the experts out of the woodwork. And no, there is no "built in" comm program on the Amiga. Good luck Gary on AutoPilot from Charlotte, NC

Gary, I believe what Thomas needs is CrossDOS from Consultron. The floppy disk exchange features of CrossDOS is included in AmigaDOS 2.1, 3.0 and 3.1. However, he can purchase the full featured version from any Amiga vendor. We have used CrossDOS to mount an MS-DOS formatted SyQuest and transfer files to and from the Amiga. BTW, Consultron recently released CrossMAC, the Macintosh to Amiga utility. Regards, John Chang
