As Prowler says, you can transfer any files via the PCMCIA and CF however as I mentioned earlier its quite a slow method when it comes to WHDLoad games becuase a lot of games have many small files and it takes a long time to copy them. Its really a much more pleasant experience to connect the HDD or CF to a PC and use UAE to copy the files.

If you were just moving a few games or even <50 it wouldn't be too bad but if you want to grab the whole KG pack and transfer it, I dread to think how long that would take!

The IDE adapter and CF card I linked I have personally bought and used serveral, they work 100% including the HDD LED which does not work on some CF adapters.
