ScuzzBlog: Diaries August 2018 Entry 1st August 2018: Post 01: AMINet AMINet - So which came first AMINet is a networking system that allows you to connect anything up to 200 Amigas together. Each would need the special serial interface and the cables, but connected in a closed ring they would all see each other. The system also permits users to talk to each other by sending messages. The interface was easy to install and the cables have differing end connectors so you can't muck that up. Having installed the software on each machine you set a unique name and node number and you are good to go. Firing up the software clicks the red light on to the back of the interface. File transfer appears to be a single action process and you can't actually see the other computer. This may have been a useful tool back in the days of the A500 but sadly it just is not versatile enough for mass file transfers and interrogation of files on other computers. In the end I simply plugged my Parnet cable back in an used that instead. Certainly worked but not that wonderful in truth. Didn't use it very long so may have missed some of the functionality. AMINet Network Copied a Clara Veiga animation no problem. In the end I fired up the Parnet which was way more beneficial and useful.
