- Hello,
- Does anybody have something positive to say about LinkIt! ?
- I purchased LinkIt! directly from the co. for U.S.$59.95.
- It came in a package labeled "Special Version".
- I did not order any "Special Version".
- Inside it tells you they are having production problems with
- their Parallel cable that is supposed to have special electronic
- circuits and that meanwhile you should use the included Serial cable.
- They included a sticker on the registration card that promises
- a "FREE" (?) Parallel cable when (?) that becomes available.
- So far I have only been able to transfer files fom the AMIGA 2500
- to various PC's.
- Any attempt to transfer files from the PC's to the AMIGA freezes
- both computers up - usually after about 4kbytes.
- (Also the software does not include any program to convert GIF files
- to something my Amiga would recognise like JPEG, Raw etc..)
- Does anybody have any good experiences to report with that company
- or have I been had? I noticed that there were never any postings about
- LinkIt in any of the Amiga related newsgroups.
- Thanks for any informative reply, dzander@umd5.umd.edu
-
- P.S. I did contact them through their e-mail address about these problems.
