Transfer PC -> ST

[Wally1]

what is the best and easiest way

to copy/transfer files from

a Windows XP PC to an Atari 520 STE (4 megs)?

 

 

besides sneaker net which ive been doing

and habitually erasing the same floppy disk.

 

i plan on getting a Megafile 20 from Bruce at B&C

for $250 and filling it up with a bunch of

games and apps.

 

 

thanks

Really? Why not lotharek 's Ultrasatan?

Then maybe use Parcp - http://ataricrypt.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/parcp-usb.htmlWorks dandy!

Is this some joke ? 250 bucks for Megafile 20 (20 MB - LOL), which will die after 3 days of work ? Please get some Flash card adapter and couple 4-8 GB cards - what will solve easy transfer too in best way. OK, you will need to spend some 5 bucks + for USB card reader
