- Introduction
- ------------
-
- Last december, I decided to buy a CD32 because it was much
- cheaper than another CD solution for my A1200.
- But the Sernet link is SLOW.
- Later I purchased an Aminet IV CD ROM, which didn't work
- on my CD 32. When I found a solution, I also found a way
- to speed up the connection between my two machines.
-
- This text can help you if you don't know how to use CD which
- don't run on your console or if you want to speed up communications.
-
- Please note that the speed won't be as high as the one obtained with
- a SCSI drive or an Overdrive. It will be much higher than Sernet's speed.
-
- What do you need ?
- ------------------
-
- - An Amiga and a CD 32
-
- - A serial cable
-
- - A communication program for the Amiga (Sernet for example)
-
- - A CD ROM which contains communication Program
- (like Sernet) and the device RAD: in one of its
- directories. I use CDPD IV, which contains both
- of them.
-
- - Twin Express (available on Aminet)
-
- - Twin Opus 2 (available on Aminet) if you use Directory Opus
-
-
- Method
- ------
-
- Turn on your machines and run communication program on them.
- Mount RAD: on the CD32 and format it. Put a directory
- s which contains a startup-sequence in the CD32 RAD: and also
- the program Twin Express.
- Reboot the CD32. You should see Twin Express screen which is waiting
- for a command (difficult without keyboard...) or a communication.
- Don't forget to remove the CD before rebooting or RAD: won't boot.
- Reboot the Amiga and run Twin Express. Communication is established
- and is very fast.
- If you have Directory Opus and Twin Opus 2, communications will be
- very easy. If not you'll have to do all operations whith your keyboard.
-
- Now insert a CD into the CD32 drive and it will be accessible on the
- Amiga.
