I have a question That I'm sure someone can answer. I've been unable
to find any reference in the notesfile but I may not be asking the
right question. So, here goes...I have a lot of difficulty downloading
to my Amy at home due to the phone system ( GTE )...random noise,etc.
I have acces to a Microvax II here at work and would like to know
if it is possible to directly connect Amy to the Micro and download
the programs? I have no problem bringing my system in to work and
am willing to build or buy the neccessary cable(s). But I am a
relative novice at this and would appreciate any help and info anyone
could supply. BTW, my system is an A1000, 512k, 2 drives. I hope
to add on some hard disks and memory this summer. Thanks in advance...

You can simply use a standard female to female (BC22D?) RS232 cable. After that it's just like a 19200 baud modem! John | |||||

> You can simply use a standard female to female (BC22D?) RS232 cable. For an A1000 you need a MALE connector for Amy's serial port. Also, if you do use a "standard" cable, just make sure there are no connection to the power pins on the serial port, just to be on the safe side. Pete | |||||
| 2528.3 | COPY directly to Amiga? | SNOFS1::ASHLEY | Fri Nov 24 1989 09:16 | 10 | |
Is it possible to copy files directly between the amiga and a VAX.
IE On the VAX: copy THIS_FILE.ARC TTA2: (comms port you plugged Amiga
into)
On the Amiga: copy FROM AUX: TO THIS_FILE.ARC
I seem to be unable to KERMIT files between our VAX in the office and
my Amiga, which is running the comms program HANDSHAKE. Pretty sure
that I just have to set up Kermit on the VAX correctly, but it sure
would be faster to directly copy to/from the Amiga.
