Data transfer over serial win to dos

utri007 · 26 October 2021, 19:32

I'm building MSDOS machine with KCS Power PC board and Amiga. I do have a 100mb hard disk partition setuped to GVP HD8+ controller, now I would like to transfer games and apps to it.

It seems to impossible to mount MSDos partition to Amiga, as it is partition inside of partition.

There is very few useable disk image resources to MSDOS games. Archive org has Kryoflux streaming images, wich takes lots of space, but also would need to be converted to img or other image format useable with Gotek.

There is plenty of resources of games and apps available as a file copy.

Question is what would be easiest way to transfer data from Windows 10 machine to MSDOS machine with serial cable? It is used with Amiga Explorer with same machine.

Is there a Amiga Explorer style solution for a PC?

Is there a solution wich would NOT require DosBox?

I answer to myself.

Serial transfer is easiest to build with Windows XP or VMware machine runnin DOS. File Maven 3.5 works both. First need to start Client then Host, to get it work.

Transferin files just don't work it gives all the time CRC errors.

Any hints for that?
