- This could be done easily with a ParNet cable (on the parallel port) and
- either of 2 software packages available from aminet.
-
- 1). ProNet 2.1 ; this would be the best solution for what you want to do.
- You could mount any drive of the remote machine as though
- it were a local drive.
-
- 2). ParNet 3.1/3.2 This way would be a little tricky. As long as the
- floppy in DF1: on the remote machine has a disk in it
- with the Node.rinfo file on it, it will show up as
- NET:DF1. You could then simply 'assign DF1: NET:DF1'
- on the local machine. If the game doesn't require
- the 2nd drive to be DF1:, you could assign it as
- any name you wanted.
