§ane's ADF Sender tutorial (could someone provide me with the current links?
Paul: Fixed links & copied to FAQ)
Requirements:
1. Any amiga with a serial port and a copy of Workbench.
2. A PC with a terminal proggie such as "
ADF Sender Terminal".
3. Null-modem serial cable (or LapLink cable).
Amiga Setup:
Set the Serial preferences as follows..
Baud Rate = 19200
Buffer Size = 4096
Read Bits = 8
Write Bits = 8
Stop Bits = 1
Parity = None
Handshaking = RTS/CTS
The transfer is most reliable at 19200 bps, any higher and the data sent may be more or less than expected.
PC Setup:
Install ADF Sender Terminal and configure the serial preferences to match the Amiga's, then open the Comm port.
PC ADF -> Amiga DF0:
Amiga: [CLI/SHELL]
transdisk -w ser: -d trackdisk 0
PC: [ADF Sender Terminal]
Press Send and select the ADF you wish to transfer to the floppy disk in drive DF0:
Amiga DF0: -> PC ADF
PC: [ADF Sender Terminal]
Enter the size of the destination file, for every track it's 11264 bytes, so tracks 0 through 79 is (11264 * 80) 901120 bytes, then click on Receive.
Amiga: [CLI/SHELL]
transdisk >ser: -d trackdisk 0
Both scenarios should return to the command line after the transfer completes, if either stops short then you should consider lowering the Baud Rate. Although i have been able to transfer at 115200 bps without errors using Transwarp in place of Transdisk.
If you don't possess Transdisk/warp and or have no way of getting it over to your amiga, refer to
this page.
