Whats up,

I would like to burn floppy disks which Amiga can read from ADF files. I know that normally I cannot burn floppy disks under a PC and the Amiga will read it.

I tried ADTWin. I bought a cable and connected it to the LPT in the computer. I had the LPT port through a PCI controller. I tried on Windows 10 and Windows XP. The program supposedly records, but Amiga does not read. Even XCopy shows the floppy disk is 99% free.

I also tried via the NullModem cable. I bought and got a floppy disk with AmigaExplorer for Amiga. But I don't have Workbench 1.3. I only have the higher version (found in the attic, used to have A600). I have a game that starts a truncated version of Workbench and then I have an icon to start the game. When I run it, I change the floppy, I have AmigaExplorer, but I get an error that it cannot open the port. Can you get around it or do I need the entire Workbench?

AmigaExplorer also works (even better) on Workbench 2.0

But on Amiga 500 with Kickstart 1.3 I will not run Workbench 2.0

Strange, it shows you the disc has finished recording with no problem?
You are running as admin, and you shut down all other programs?

you can map kick a special floppy disk and start it

Yes, I ran it as admin. But I had to from the command line. I did not want to search for the LPT port without it.

I mean, it shows me nothing. It just ends. In some video on the Internet, it also does not show anything after the recording is finished. But it does not show errors.

Do I have to close all programs? Any redundant processes?

I read something about running the system on one CPU core. Will it help something?

Can you tell me the topic?

Do you have a link to this floppy disk for LPT transfer? Maybe there will be something. It probably uses paradise. On the pc side, it's best to dos, win95 / 98 because with xp you had to change something. Maybe dosbox will see if dosem virtual?

Ie the floppy disk is for a Null Modem cable. It has the Amiga Explorer on it. Two copies of some, I suspect one for Kickstart 1.2 and 1.3, and the other for higher. I do not have a floppy disk for the LPT cable.

Without the software on the Amiga side, you will not record on LPT (and a special cable).

If you want, write to priv and I will send the Hombre package where you have everything you need to transfer files under kick 1.3 (serial, parallel, floppy disks). Even as the author of this package, I suggest you buy a gotek just for peace of mind
