- Hello,
-
- OK. Heres the background story, I am at University and I can use the
- internet for free using the PCs in the labs. I can download Amiga software onto DD
- disks and transfer it to my Amiga using MessySID II. That is no problem.
-
- The problem occurs when I encounter a really good file (normally LHA
- archives) that is too large for a 720k DD PC disk. How can I get this file onto my
- Amiga considering that I dont have an HD drive on my Amiga.
-
- I hope there is a piece of software that could maybe split the file onto
- more than one disk using the PC and another program to rebuild the file on the
- Amiga. Is this so?
-
- I cannot link the 2 machines together to transfer the files as they are
- too geographically distant, and I dont want to buy an HD drive for my Amiga.
-
- My specs are:
- A1200 with 80 mb HD (with 2 meg chip ram, as standard)
- Extra DD disk drive
-
- Any help whatsoever would be most welcome.
-
- Thanks,
-
- SIMON
