bytestorm · 23 March 2003, 11:06

I tried Amiga Explorer but i can't run the Setup... (on the amiga side) the cable works...cuz i get the files to my amiga but...well ...here is the whole process:

First i run setup on the PC side then i'm asked to do the following:

it starts fine, first i have to type:

Type SER: to RAM:Setup
*that works..i get the setup file to my amiga RAM*

then next i'm prompted to type:

RX RAM:Setup
*then i get this info:*
ARexx Version 1.15

i have tried 100 of times... i have tried to run it from a floppy instead:

SER: to DF0:Setup
then
RX DF0:Setup

but still get the same error.....i'm running XP by the way....

I use twin, it can be downloaded from aminet. Twin is just a command line tool to transfer files thru NULL between you amiga and PC. The only thing with running twin on PC is that you need to be in DOS. I know running twin from DOS prompt window _within_ win95 will not work, you need to quit out of windows all together, into a DOS prompt. Keeping that in mind I don't know how twin will behave under XP, never tried it.

The Amiga Explorer method with Arexx never worked here.
So I booted my Amiga with a Workbench 1.3 and used the other method, with wb1.3. (you know : AmigaExplorer asks you if you have a WB2.0 (or above) or 1.3)

If you have a WB1.3 floppy, you can try this method
