Transferring adf files without workbench?
Hi, I’ve recently grabbed my Amiga out of the loft after 30 years of gathering dust! Unfortunately all my old games seem to be corrupt!
![]() My question is, is there a way of getting my pc connected to the Amiga without a working copy of workbench, as mine no longer works. Would really like to revisit some of the games I used to love! |

What Amiga have you got? What are the specs?
Inspect the disks for mould and physical damage - it might just need a clean. Probably easier if you just write ADF/IPF images to disk on your PC/Mac/Linux machine. I would highly recommend getting a Greaseweazle to do this. |

Another option is AmigaXfer. You will need a basic workbench unless you fancy the hardware hack.

Hi, thanks for your replies! I have an Amiga 500 with a 512 expansion. The greasweazle looks interesting is it easy to use? I have also just been reading about a gotek drive, which seems like it could work well?

Was going to suggest a Gotek
![]() I have a GreaseWeazle too but mainly use it read disks. There are a couple of GUIs for it but the CLI is easy enough. |
