#Targa File Transfer Help
4 messages in this thread
Hi out there anyone. I have a PC with 3DS targa files on it that are too big
to save to disk and I do not have a PAR. However, I have access to a studio
with an Amiga Toaster 4000 with a PAR. Any suggestions on how I can transfer
the PC targa files to the Toaster? I may have access to a PC laptop to take
the files into the studio. Can I hook that up to the Amiga and download them??
How??
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi John –
I can get you started. There's a pair of programs called TwinEX which run on
the Amiga and PC and use the parallel (or is it serial) port for file transfer.
Be sure the Amiga's PAR can handle the file format, and you're all set. Check
in AmigaUser for TwinEX.

Either scale the images down, since you won't need more than 768×482 max for
Toaster/PAR output, or maybe just save them in a more compressed format like
JPEG. They should fit on an 1.44MB floppy that way.
Yep sure I can help you, we have got a Pentium 100 linked to a Amiga 4000
Par Card. The other guy was correct you want Twin Express for the PC, and PAR
Net software for the Amiga side of the Network. Most PD Libraries can supply
you with this software and along with the cables.
This will allow you to dump you Targa files straight to the the Par cards
dedicated
IDE drive. You will have to set the PAR card software to Targa Flip, so your
animations will not play upside down.
Any problems just mail me!!!!!
