Can my Atari ST interoperate with modern PCs? What are the best ways to send files back and forth?
These are important questions that need to be answered!
Project Notes
| Status | Completed March 2016 |
| Goal | Explore the various ways to share files between PC and Atari ST |
I explored several ways to transfer files between PC and Atari ST, including:
- Using an SD card and Ultrasatan to Transfer Files from PC to ST - 08 Mar 2016
- Using Ethernet to Transfer Files from PC to ST - 07 Mar 2016
- Using PARCP-USB to Transfer Files from PC to ST - 24 Feb 2016
- Using Serial Cable and ZMODEM to Transfer Files from PC to ST - 13 Feb 2016
- Using Serial Cable and Ghostlink to Transfer Files from PC to ST - 06 Feb 2016
- Using Floppy Disk to Transfer Files from PC to ST - 30 Jan 2016
I also took a detour into file compression, and learned how to split large files into chunks that can be individually copied using (for example) floppy disks:
My findings are summarized in the following guide:
