Transfer large amounts of data to real amiga

SuperFuryAnimal · 11 February 2022, 16:38

If you have say an A1200 with a CF HDD and you have done a fresh install of Workbench on it and you want to transfer a large amount of data from a pc to the amiga hdd, i.e like 500mb of modules, is there an easy way to do this???

Something that doesn't need removal of CD card for example??

Compact flash in the PCMCIA port, and a usb card reader for the PC? That's what I use.

pop an ethernet card in and you can copy what you need over the network. or even mount a network share as a device on the amiga via samba

Indeed, these days I prefer using Ethernet + FTP to transfer data to my Amigas. Probably as fast as it gets and much easier to keep in place if you need to transfer data frequently.
