- OK, a couple of weeks ago, I asked if anyone knew of a way to transfer
- information between an Amiga and an IBM PC using a serial link cable. Well, I got
- a few responses, but I think that my initial question may have been unclear.
- My Amiga system consists of an A500 w/Workbench 1.3 (no CrossDos). I have no
- way of getting any of the utilities onto an Amiga format disk. If there is any
- shareware out there that can allow an IBM HD drive to write to an Amiga format
- disk, that would be a real good start.
-
- I have found many utilities allowing the transfer of information across the cable,
- but absoloutly no way of getting them on the Amiga itself. I did recieve e-mail
- from James Mitchell explaining that I needed a null-modem connector. If there is
- anyone in the Atlanta, GA area who knows where I can get one, please respond.
- Or, if I don't need the connector, let me know what I need to tranfer the info.
- Any help I can get would be appreciated.
