- The files contained in this drawer are not required for ParBENCH
- or ParNET to function. They are placed here for the "power user"
- who might find them interesting. The files included are:
-
- 1. ATN.LHA --- Amiga Turbo Network. This archive contains the shareware
- competitor for ParNET. It allows up to 8 Amigas to be
- connected VIA their parallel ports with a special daisy
- chain style cable scheme. This version is a demo that
- only allows transfers of 50k or less. Oh yes, the docs
- are in german. Anyone have the time to translate them
- and send them to me in english? :) I would like to hear
- how this program worked for you as I never had the time
- build the cable.
-
- 2. ParPC.LHA - This file was downloaded from the Deep Thought BBS (former
- home of what was known as The Software Distillery and
- is now the home of Home Brew Software). It is a set of
- software for PC Compatibles and Amigas that allow the
- standard Amiga ParNET to interchange data with
- PC-Compatibles VIA a standard Amiga Parnet cable.
- included is a schematic for building the interface for
- the PC Compatible. This is a pretty major hardware job
- and so far I know of no one who has built one for
- testing. If you do, please drop me a line and let me
- know how it worked for you. Also, this file is VERY
- sparse in the documentation, but does include source code.
- I was unable to find any information as to the
- distributability of this file except in as much as it was
- available on a public doamin BBS and was bundled with
- ParNET which is freely distributable. If you know anything
- more about the heritage of this file please contact me.
-
- 3. SerNET24.LHA- This is a serial version of ParNET that is supposed to
- operate over Matt Dillons DNET software. I have been
- unable make this work and would encourage someone who has
- this working to inform me as to just how the heck you
- got it to work! :) If I can find a way to make this
- work I will include it in an upcoming version of ParBENCH
- as an option. Any help would be appreciated.
-
- 4. NetMOUNT.LHA- This is a file culled from the Fred Fish colleciton it
- seems to be a sort of Boot.Host replacement in that it
- allows the activation of ParNET and the 'touching' of the
- drives to occur automaticly. As I have not had a chance
- to play with it, I include it here for experimentation.
