How do I transfer an ADF to a real Amiga?
I'm trying to get XCopy on my A600 (and a few other ADF files). However, I'm not sure how I get the ADF from my Linux system over to a real Amiga.
Actually, I don't even care to copy it to a real floppy. I just want the software on my Amiga so that I can run it. :-) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! |

How do you normally transfer files to your Amiga?
Or is this your question, how to transfer files from Linux to an Amiga in general? |

Xcopy does floppy to floppy copy.. How are you playing games on the 600 ? Harddrive installed ? Use a pcmcia to cf for file transfers, if disk images it needs to be written to disks.. If whdload it can be unpacked ...
Use a gotek drive if you want to use floppy images without writing them to floppies (then just copy the files to a usb stick and plug it in you Amiga) .. |

OS 3.2 etc has the ability to mount adfs already AFAIK. For authentic systems DiskImage is available on Aminet and works well for standard images. There is a SPS update also IIRC.
The image would be transferred to a sd or cf card usually on your PC and, with a PCMCIA adapter inserted into the PCMCIA slot on your A600. The filesystem on the card needs to be FAT32 on Windows machines - IDK on Linux? The Amiga needs CF0: installed in Devs/Dosdrivers, FAT95 in L and compactflash.device (or similar according to card) installed in Devs. This would be on your WB disk or HDD partition. |

If you have absolutely nothing yet on your A600: get a CF-to-IDE adapter and prepare the CF card using UAE. Copy whatever you need onto it. Once done, put it into the CF-to-IDE adapter in the A600 and you are good to go.
If you simply want to transfer files and the A600 can boot into Workbench already, you can use e.g. CrossDOS or serial transfer. If neither is an option for whatever reason, you can get a Greaseweazle and write ADF files to floppy disks in a way the Amiga can read. This works on every modern PC, since it's using USB. |

Sorry everyone. I wasn't clear.
I use WHDLoad on my A600. I transfer data from my Linux machine to my Amiga with the PCMCIA port using a CF card. However, some applications are ADF files. I'm not sure how to "run" an ADF file on a real Amiga. Also, I am using WB 2. Thanks |

ADF is a disk image, you can you use something like adf2disk to write it to disk. If its a dos disk you can use something like UnADF, to extract the files (it seems to require 020 so will not work i guess unless you own a accelerator board)
https://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/UnADF But his should support 68000 and OS 2.x it seems (or mounting adfs seems to require 020 too) https://www.bitplan.pl/goadf/index.html |

https://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/diskimage works on 68000 and V37.
If you have OS 2.0 you must make your own mountlist entry based on the included example dosdrivers that are relevant to you. With OS 2.1 and newer you should look inside the example dosdrivers and copy the ones you really need, adjusting the name and unit numbers of them to suit your need. |
