I tried my laplink cable on my Laptop to amiga, using PC2amiga and the userport driver. still no go.

[edit]

EUREKA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SCREW YOU BILL GATES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rant mode off, ok I got it working by using instructions on the net, formatting a 1.44MB disk in XP as a SYSTEM disk from the format menu, puts an XP DOS on the disk (boots to command prompt). No XP locking the parallel port.

From there you can run PC2AMIGA, and you can access the Hard Drives on the PC too. My next step is to also put PC2AMIGA on my A530's workbench setup. In my latest test with this discovery, I loaded CAPS dumping disk, and I have succesfully dumped a disk through 4 wire Laplink direct.

WOOHOO, it works.........
