Short: FAST File Transfer from Bridgeboard to AMIGA Author: Jorg Schuler Uploader: Jorg Schuler (Jorg Schuler stud uni-karlsruhe de) Architecture: m68k-amigaos Type: I guess there are a lot of people out there who own an AMIGA 2000 equipped with a bridgeboard in order to be able to read and write 1.44 MB DOS diskettes. To transfer files between the two systems you would usually use "aread" and "awrite" which come along with the board. At least with the Commodore 286 bridgeboard these programs have one major disadvantage: they are breathtakingly slow! The Janus software, however, provides a way to use AMIGA files as virtual partitions by using the "jlink" programm. COPYING FILES TO THE AMIGA SIDE THROUGH THIS PATH IS ABOUT SIX TIMES AS FAST. PDir enables you to re-extract the files from the partition file on the AMIGA side. A 1.1 MB file could thereby be transfered in 1 minute 25 seconds instead of 8 minutes by using awrite. The program is fully functional and not a crippled version (V1.0).
