Transferring Files

At some point in time, you'll want to be able to transfer files between your PC/Mac/Linux box and your Atari. This page will cover some of the possibilities.

1. Using a home-brew SneakerNet
   • floppy
   • USB memory stick / thumb drive - NetUSBee
   • SD / CF card
   • entire HDD
2. A network between your Atari and PC
   • Ghostlink using serial port
   • PARCP using LPT (printer port)
   • Generic NULL modem serial communication with Zmodem
   • Ethernet - a TCP/IP network
