I remember my Amiga online - good times on IRC.

Transferring between Amiga and PC can be done via parallel link-up, but you try finding a PC with a parallel port, these days.

Best way of getting data from an Amiga to a PC without spending a lot is hook up via serial at 57600DTE 8n1. NComm on the Amiga and HyperTerm on the PC. ZModem transfer. Job done.

Hooking up a 115200DTE is destined to failure on all but the most resilient A1200's. Mine managed it (after an OS3.1 kickstart upgrade and armed with a 50MHz 68030 + 16MB), but I understand my experience was a rarity.
