A bugged life: Running P-Lisp on Apple ][
- SwellJoe 18y agoI went through similar pains getting the data off of my Amiga systems before I sold them when moving to the valley (I'd long since gotten rid of all of my C64 stuff, so not quite as ancient). It's surprisingly complicated when all of the "usual" methods (USB memory key, CD/DVD ROM, network) are unavailable. Even though the Amiga could write to a 720K DOS format floppy, I no longer have any machines that have a floppy drive, and I had several things to move that were too big, anyway, and would have had to be split via whatever archiving program I used on the Amigas (lzh, maybe?) which I didn't remember how to do. I used to connect to the Internet via modem on the Amiga, which might have worked, but I no longer have a phone line to hook it up to or dial up internet service. Ended up going the serial route, and still had to dig an old PC out of the closet because my current PCs don't have them. But, I finally did get all of my MODs off of the machines. Took about a week from deciding I was going to do it to getting the cable and software working. And, "The Lives of Others" is a fantastic film.
