- I would like to network my A5000 and PC clone together in some fashion.
-
- I am running OS/2 2.0 on the PC and would like to file serve the A5000.
-
- One solution would be an ethernet card in each machine and run Acorns
- TCP/IP stuff and IBMs TCP/IP stuff respectively.
-
- The cost of the software and hardware to do this seems to be a little bit
- expensive.
-
- Is there any way of doing this via the printer or serial ports?
- (I could even use MIDI to MIDI as I have MIDI interfaces in both machines.)
-
- I don't think Acorn have SLIP or PPP support in their TCP/IP package?
-
- I noticed Atomwide have announced RemoteFS for the Acorn, which is a cheap
- Acorn to Acorn network solution. What I need is something like this for
- Acorn to PC.
-
- Does anyone know of any other software/hardware to network 1 Acorn to 1 PC?
