any one using one?

yes it works fine with my Peg II

Great! I( need one to transfer from my amiga to peg.
My peg seems to have problems reading cdrw disks from my pc.

Remember to install Fat95 on the Peg, and to use 720k pc formatted floppies from your amiga.

Another thing to remember is you still wont be able to read any Amiga formated disks. Its like having a PC drive on you Pegasos.

but you can write pc disks on Amiga, so this is a way to transfer data, when your MIG has no cdrw drive or lan/network connection.

This is my intention,but I would like to use a lan connection too , but am clueless about how to go about that, (amiga to pegasos).

Yes, LAN should be imo the best way... You could use parallel connection (with miami it should work, I guess) (if You haven't ethernet card in Your Amiga) and with samba, You would be able to read also Amiga diskettes...

OK I got my usb floppy,,,now what? I plug in and put a disk in
but nothing shows up on workbbench,I have put in fat95 .do I need a
special mounlist? How would i format it ?
Need some help with this one.

You'll probably have to mess with your USB prefs (posiedon if you installed the upgrade).

I formated a disk 720k and the icon now appears on the desktop.:) But I have trouble
copying to and from this disk . I get sence data errors .NAK timeouts on large files >10k?

Any one know the correct setting for the usb
floppy in posiedon?

And another thing.. why cant I use 1.4 mb floppys with fat95?
TIA

Why do you want a floppy in the first place? I recomend a USB flash drive. I have a 256MB on eI use to move things from my Macs to the Pegasos all the time. Just get the latest fat95 from Aminet and put it in your sys/L dir. Thats it.

I dont have a usb on my amiga..I need to transfer files ,I have fat95
installed. The floopy is supposed to work. It almost does, just needs
a few tweeks I hope..But I think I will give those flash drives a try
,I need to connect my peg to amiga via ethermet,but not sure
about the files I need.

Quote:

The standard floppy drive in the amiga is not high density is why. Fat95 can do 1.44m disks. You never stated that you had a high-density amiga floppy drive...

You need to tape the HD hole up on the disks. They will format to 720KB then. The drive will not let you format it to 720KB otherwise.

HI
I do have a HD drive on my 4000T .So I should be able to format a Pc 1.4 on my amiga using crossdos and transfer to peg ?That would be good:) Now to find the right options for reliable transfers..
Thanks

Hi Cookie!

To connect Amiga and Pegasos via ethernet, You need a working Miami and Samba installed on both systems. To make things simplier, install also Tango (I guess, everything should be on AmiNet) and read documentation carefully. This way You should be able to read every drive from Amiga with Pegasos (and vice versa), so also Amiga formated disks... I did so, and had no problems... I just haven't tried diskettes, as I hasn't one in my Amiga 1200T

Bye, MarK.

An easier alternative to Samba is Amiga Envoy 3. It's a commercial product, but installs far easier than Samba to install. (Also, no Miami required).

If you go this route, pick up the latest official patch from the aminet (in /biz/envoy ). It also has some nifty plugins, like a "chat" utility to use between your Amiga and Pegasos, and my personal favorite..... The ARexx server (again aminet), which will allow you to dump off arexx commands from one machine to the other. You just can't beat that with a stick.

i used a very simple way to copy my files Amiga to Peg with
Nullmoden cable it will need a lot of time but it works fine

Hi Mark
I bought a USB 64mb flash drive and by transferring data from amiga to pc with AE then to flash drive then to peg..it worked! Although the peg wont diplay a drive icon? DO4
sees the drive and I was able to transfer files.
Now my Miami is registered along with Ibrowse. WHew! Thanks Everyone for the greatr help!

In the beginning, I just cheated. I took my A1200's hdd, and made it a slave on the Peg. Then, I copied the whole thing into a dir. I was waaay to lazy to even attempt to figure out what was where.
