Could someone please enlighten me as to how to go about using the floppies
on a 3000UX? The manual says very little; there's a floppy-format command,
and mounting the floppy seems easy enough. What kind of file system is being
mounted? Can I read AmigaDOS disks (floppy or otherwise) under UNIX? I'd
like to download some sources from the net to my Amiga at home and bring them in
to the 3000UX I occasionally work on. Also, what about reading MS-DOS disks?
While I'm at it, a few other questions:
Has anyone gotten tcsh, mh, or trn running on a 3kUX?
Anybnody had any luck attaching another Ami as a terminal through
the serial port?
Could somebody please donate to me a few megs of memory, huge HD, 2410
board, 1024x1024 monitor, and tape drive w/UNIX so I can
upgrade my 3000 :-) ?

Also, what about reading MS-DOS disks? A UNIX file system would be mounted if you've gone strictly the UNIX route. Although you cannot read AmigaDOS file system'ed disks yet, you can read bru'd ones. (That is you can most certinly read disk with am AmigaDOS file system, but you're be on you own in terpreting it). Reading MS-DOS didks from AMIX is currently out of the question. You'll have to do it via ADOS and then bru it. It can be annoying but here we have 2 work diskettes having around for this purpose (one with an + on it for MS-DOS->ADOS transfer and one with a - on it for ADOS->AMIX bru's and it works out fine). - Greg -- Comeau Computing, 91-34 120th Street, Richmond Hill, NY, 11418 Producers of Comeau C++ Here:attmail.com!csanta!comeau / BIX:comeau / CIS:72331,3421 Voice:718-945-0009 / Fax:718-441-2310

To copy files from AmigaDos to Unix you need the BRU utility that comes
with the 1.1 or greater release. You also need the AmigaDos version
that comes with 2.0. I am unsure if the AmigaDos BRU is availible for 1.3.

Lok in your /dev directory. You should find an fd0 device. Don't (generally) mount a floppy file system. Read and write to a formatted flopy via teh device: i.e. tar tvf /dev/fd0 >tape.list. Also, read manual pages for the dd command. Last I heard you can't get to Amiga files from Amix. Unless there is already an AmigaOS utility to do a tar format and tar functions. BTW tar means Tape ARchiver. Get another Amiga and connect it to you A3000ux via Dillon's DNET :-) P.S. I've never even seen an A3000ux let alone used one so I might not know what I'm talking about. -- Travis Bissett NSTAR conferencing site 219-289-0287 internet: tbissett@nstar.rn.com 1300 newsgroups - 8 inbound lines uucp: ..!uunet!nstar.rn.com!tbissett 99 file areas - 4300 megabytes --- backbone news & mail feeds available - contact larry@nstar.rn.com ---

I have a 3000UX and would love to copy files from one to the other....something I haven't yet had success with. Robert.
