PC app that reads/writes to Amiga-formatted card in card reader?
Stupid question, maybe - but are there apps that like WinUAE can r/w access CF cards?
Ideally, I'd just right-click a file and "put on my FFS-volume please", either in a file browser or a web browser. Alternately, an app that has two folders (PC and Amiga) set up and syncs them both ways with a click - or by the insertion of an Amiga-formatted volume (option). If there's a commandline command available (SF?) for Windows I'd be happy to make a slim wrapper, sync, decompress etc, I think this would be way cool. |

Never thought about this since WinUAE boots so fast I don't mind using it for these purposes.
Having a software that mounts any type of Amiga volume in the system like Macdrive does with Mac volumes, would be most helpful, though. |

Jimbo, I suspected that - a Linux box in Windows, or rebooting, to copy a file is a bit overkill though. Exists a port? What's needed is really copy, delete, and mount.
Akira, yes. Of course that's how I do it today, booting, navigating to the same places in Diskmaster and finding that file, select, copy button etc. A separate WinUAE installation with an auto-starting config and startup-sequence, with no fps-cap. That could be worth mucking about with Hmm... I actually like this more and more, thanks Akira! No complex mixture of loose components, no multiple programs accessing the CF card using potentially slightly different filesystem-implementations. Without a decent CLI sync-program you'd be stuck with "copy A:myPCdir B:myAmigaDir" in startup-sequence, but it could be useful enough perhaps. I'll try that first and see how it goes. |

Yes, the same way you mount the filesystem for PUAE to read/write (unless they have another way now)
