<hr />
<div>SAMBA networking is very useful for Amiga computers, as it allows a fast and convenient way to transfer large files, games or software to your classic Commodore Amiga.<br />
<br />
A standard Amiga computer is limited to 880K floppy disk capacity unless you have a CD-ROM drive or other means to transfer files (and burning lots of CDs can be time consuming and wasteful on media).<br />
<br />
One option is a direct link via a serial or parallel cable from the Amiga to another PC, or even to use a telnet BBS service to upload and download files - these options can be slow and fiddly to implement.<br />
<br />
With SAMBA however, transferring files to and from your Amiga is as easy as opening up a Drawer in Workbench, and dragging them to your Hard Disk Drive or Compact Flash card - and everything can be done directly on the Amiga without having to use winUAE etc!<br />
<br />
<br />
== Basic Amiga 68K SAMBA setup steps ==<br />
<br />
'''Prerequisites'''<br />
<br />
1. First setup Samba on your NAS, PC or network so that you have a Samba server or host running ready to connect your Amiga to. Make sure your local network IP range 192.168.1.* etc is allowed to connect so your Amiga will see the WORKGROUP and Samba Shares available on the local network.<br />
<br />
2. Add a Plipbox to your Amiga and have it setup with MiamiDX or similar TCP/IP stack so you have internet and Network connectivity available on the Amiga - see instructions and information here: '''[[Commodore Amiga Plipbox Ethernet Adapter]]'''<br />
<br />
'''(I recommend MiamiDX as it seems to "just work"!! Although on classic Amigas with less RAM you may need something a little leaner)'''<br />
<br />
3. Using your newly setup Plipbox download the following files from here: [http://wiki.simulant.uk/downloadable-files/amiga-68k-samba/ Amiga 68K Samba files] to your Amiga, or transfer them initially by other means you may already have.<br />
<br />
You now should have these in a folder on your Amiga:<br />
<br />
<br />
:::::SMBMounter.lha<br />
:::::samba-2.2.5-base.lha<br />
:::::samba-2.2.5-bin-2.3-68k.lha<br />
:::::smbfs-68k.lha<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Preparing Samba Files and Install'''<br />
<br />
Step A - Find the Samba 2.2.5 Archive (Samba-base.lha) and unarchive it to RAM:<br />
<br />
Step B - Find the Samba 2.2.5 Binary (Samba-bin-68k.lha) and unarchive it to RAM:<br />
(this file contains all the 68k specific binaries for use in this installation)<br />
<br />
Step C - Find the smbfs-68k.lha file and unarchive it to RAM:<br />
<br />
Step D - Open up your RAM disk, (double click) the drawer 'Samba-2.2.5' and rename the drawer within from being called 'install' to just be now called 'samba'<br />
<br />
Step E - Back in your RAM disk, there should be another drawer just called 'install', you can open this and drag the contents into the new 'samba' drawer within 'Samba-2.2.5'<br />
<br />
Step F - Now also in RAM, open the drawer called 'smbfs-1.74-68k' and drag the 'smbfs' file also into your new 'samba' drawer that is within 'Samba-2.2.5'.<br />
<br />
You should end up with a 'samba' drawer with contents like this:<br />
[[File:Amiga-samba-drawer-screenshot.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Important: You now should create a couple of extra folders within your 'samba' drawer, they may be required when actually using Samba. So if you don't already have them create a 'log' drawer and within the 'log' drawer also make a 'locks' drawer.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Setting Up Samba'''<br />
<br />
Step G - Now simply copy your 'samba' drawer that you've got ready to your SYS: or Workbench boot volume.<br />
<br />
Step H - Back in your RAM: volume you can now unpack and install SMBmounter, which is a nice GUI samba mount application to make using Samba very easy within Workbench.<br />
<br />
Step I - Now open your 'User-Startup' file in a text editor (User-Startup should be located in SYS:S/ drawer) then add the following just before ;BEGIN MUI or with your other ASSIGNS:<br />
<br />
<br />
::::: ;Samba<br />
::::: Assign Samba: SYS:Samba<br />
::::: Path Samba:bin add<br />
::::: ;end Samba<br />
<br />
<br />
Step J - Next open up your smb.conf file located in SYS:S/samba/lib/smb.conf and add or update the following entries in [global] (set these to your requirements and uncomment if not active):<br />
<br />
:::::[global]<br />
:::::workgroup = WORKGROUP<br />
:::::netbios name = AMIGA<br />
:::::hosts allow = 192.168.1.* 127.0.0.1<br />
:::::security = user<br />
:::::password level = 20<br />
:::::username level = 20<br />
:::::log file = /t/samba/log/samba.%m.log<br />
<br />
Step K - Now you should have the basics in place to use SAMBA!!! Just reboot your Amiga, load up MiamiDX (or the TCP/IP stack you're using with your Plipbox that you've already setup to use the internet with) and run SMBmounter to mount your SAMBA shares as volumes in Workbench!! Hooray!!!<br />
<br />
'''(Note: If you're unsure how to mount your shares in SMBMounter just test first with the QuickMount option, pressing the '?' button to search for shares on the network)'''</div>Simulanthttps://wiki.simulant.uk/index.php?title=Classic_68K_Amiga_SAMBA_setup&diff=23335Classic 68K Amiga SAMBA setup2020-06-07T09:08:13Z<p>Simulant: </p>

<hr />
<div>SAMBA networking is very useful for Amiga computers, as it allows a fast and convenient way to transfer large files, games or software to your classic Commodore Amiga.<br />
<br />
A standard Amiga computer is limited to 880K floppy disk capacity unless you have a CD-ROM drive or other means to transfer files (and burning lots of CDs can be time consuming and wasteful on media).<br />
<br />
One option is a direct link via a serial or parallel cable from the Amiga to another PC, or even to use a telnet BBS service to upload and download files - these options can be slow and fiddly to implement.<br />
<br />
With SAMBA however, transferring files to and from your Amiga is as easy as opening up a Drawer in Workbench, and dragging them to your Hard DIsk Drive or Compact Flash card - and everything can be done directly on the Amiga without having to use UAE etc!<br />
<br />
<br />
== Basic Amiga 68K SAMBA setup steps ==<br />
<br />
'''Prerequisites'''<br />
<br />
1. First setup Samba on your NAS, PC or network so that you have a Samba server or host running ready to connect your Amiga to. Make sure your local network IP range 192.168.1.* etc is allowed to connect so your Amiga will see the WORKGROUP and Samba Shares available on the local network.<br />
<br />
2. Add a Plipbox to your Amiga and have it setup with MiamiDX or similar TCP/IP stack so you have internet and Network connectivity available on the Amiga - see instructions and information here: '''[[Commodore Amiga Plipbox Ethernet Adapter]]'''<br />
<br />
3. Using your newly setup Plipbox download the following files from here: [http://wiki.simulant.uk/downloadable-files/amiga-68k-samba/ Amiga 68K Samba files] to your Amiga, or transfer them initially by other means you may already have.<br />
<br />
You now should have these in a folder on your Amiga:<br />
<br />
<br />
:::::SMBMounter.lha<br />
:::::samba-2.2.5-base.lha<br />
:::::samba-2.2.5-bin-2.3-68k.lha<br />
:::::smbfs-68k.lha<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Preparing Samba Files and Install'''<br />
<br />
Step A - Find the Samba 2.2.5 Archive (Samba-base.lha) and unarchive it to RAM:<br />
<br />
Step B - Find the Samba 2.2.5 Binary (Samba-bin-68k.lha) and unarchive it to RAM:<br />
(this file contains all the 68k specific binaries for use in this installation)<br />
<br />
Step C - Find the smbfs-68k.lha file and unarchive it to RAM:<br />
<br />
Step D - Open up your RAM disk, (double click) the drawer 'Samba-2.2.5' and rename the drawer within from being called 'install' to just be now called 'samba'<br />
<br />
Step E - Back in your RAM disk, there should be another drawer just called 'install', you can open this and drag the contents into the new 'samba' drawer within 'Samba-2.2.5'<br />
<br />
Step F - Now also in RAM, open the drawer called 'smbfs-1.74-68k' and drag the 'smbfs' file also into your new 'samba' drawer that is within 'Samba-2.2.5'.<br />
<br />
You should end up with a 'samba' drawer with contents like this:<br />
[[File:Amiga-samba-drawer-screenshot.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Important: You now should create a couple of extra folders within your 'samba' drawer, they may be required when actually using Samba. So if you don't already have them create a 'log' drawer and within the 'log' drawer also make a 'locks' drawer.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Setting Up Samba'''<br />
<br />
Step G - Now simply copy your 'samba' drawer that you've got ready to your SYS: or Workbench boot volume.<br />
<br />
Step H - Back in your RAM: volume you can now unpack and install SMBmounter, which is a nice GUI samba mount application to make using Samba very easy within Workbench.<br />
<br />
Step I - Now open your 'User-Startup' file in a text editor (User-Startup should be located in SYS:S/ drawer) then add the following just before ;BEGIN MUI or with your other ASSIGNS:<br />
<br />
<br />
:::::;Samba<br />
:::::Assign Samba: SYS:Samba<br />
:::::Path Samba:bin add<br />
:::::;end Samba<br />
<br />
<br />
Step J - Next open up your smb.conf file located in SYS:S/samba/lib/smb.conf and add or update the following entries in [global] (set these to your requirements and uncomment if not active):<br />
<br />
:::::[global]<br />
:::::workgroup = WORKGROUP<br />
:::::netbios name = AMIGA<br />
:::::hosts allow = 192.168.1.* 127.0.0.1<br />
:::::security = share<br />
:::::password level = 20<br />
:::::username level = 20<br />
:::::log file = /t/samba.%m.log<br />
<br />
Step K - Now you should have the basics in place to use SAMBA!!! Just reboot your Amiga, load up MiamiDX (or the TCP/IP stack you're using with your Plipbox that you've already setup to use the internet with) and run SMBmounter to mount your SAMBA shares as volumes in Workbench!! Hooray!!!<br />

Step K - Now you should have the basics in place to use SAMBA!!! Just reboot your Amiga, load up MiamiDX (or the TCP/IP stack you're using with your Plipbox that you've already setup to use the internet with) and run SMBmounter to mount your SAMBA shares as volumes in Workbench!! Hooray!!!</div>Simulanthttps://wiki.simulant.uk/index.php?title=Classic_68K_Amiga_SAMBA_setup&diff=23326Classic 68K Amiga SAMBA setup2020-05-18T10:51:00Z<p>Simulant: /* Basic Amiga 68K SAMBA setup steps */</p>
<hr />
<div>SAMBA networking is very useful for Amiga computers, as it allows a fast and convenient way to transfer large files, games or software to your classic Commodore Amiga.<br />
<br />
A standard Amiga computer is limited to 880K floppy disk capacity unless you have a CD-ROM drive or other means to transfer files (and burning lots of CDs can be time consuming and wasteful on media).<br />
<br />
One option is a direct link via a serial or parallel cable from the Amiga to another PC, or even to use a telnet BBS service to upload and download files - these options can be slow and fiddly to implement.<br />
<br />
With SAMBA however, transferring files to your Amiga is as easy as opening up a Drawer in Workbench and dragging them to your Hard DIsk Drive or Compact Flash card - and everything can be done directly on the Amiga without having to use UAE etc!<br />
<br />
<br />
== Basic Amiga 68K SAMBA setup steps ==<br />
<br />
'''Prerequisites'''<br />
<br />
1. First setup Samba on your NAS, PC or network so that you have a Samba server or host running ready to connect your Amiga to. Make sure your local network IP range 192.168.1.* etc is allowed to connect so your Amiga will see the WORKGROUP and Samba Shares available on the local network.<br />
<br />
2. Add a Plipbox to your Amiga and have it setup with MiamiDX or similar TCP/IP stack so you have internet and Network connectivity available on the Amiga - see instructions and information here: '''[[Commodore Amiga Plipbox Ethernet Adapter]]'''<br />
<br />
3. Using your newly setup Plipbox download the following files from here: [http://wiki.simulant.uk/downloadable-files/amiga-68k-samba/ Amiga 68K Samba files] to your Amiga, or transfer them initially by other means you may already have.<br />
<br />
You now should have these in a folder on your Amiga:<br />
<br />
SMBMounter.lha<br />
<br />
samba-2.2.5-base.lha<br />
<br />
samba-2.2.5-bin-2.3-68k.lha<br />
<br />
smbfs-68k.lha<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Preparing Samba Files and Install'''<br />
<br />
Step A - Find the Samba 2.2.5 Archive (Samba-base.lha) and unarchive it to RAM:<br />
<br />
Step B - Find the Samba 2.2.5 Binary (Samba-bin-68k.lha) and unarchive it to RAM:<br />
(this file contains all the 68k specific binaries for use in this installation)<br />
<br />
Step C - Find the smbfs-68k.lha file and unarchive it to RAM:<br />
<br />
Step D - Open up your RAM disk, (double click) the drawer 'Samba-2.2.5' and rename the drawer within from being called 'install' to just be now called 'samba'<br />
<br />
Step E - Back in your RAM disk, there should be another drawer just called 'install', you can open this and drag the contents into the new 'samba' drawer within 'Samba-2.2.5'<br />
<br />
Step F - Now also in RAM, open the drawer called 'smbfs-1.74-68k' and drag the 'smbfs' file also into your new 'samba' drawer that is within 'Samba-2.2.5'.<br />
<br />
You should end up with a 'samba' drawer with contents like this:<br />
[[File:Amiga-samba-drawer-screenshot.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Important: You now should create a couple of extra folders within your 'samba' drawer, they may be required when actually using Samba. So if you don't already have them create a 'log' drawer and within the 'log' drawer also make a 'locks' drawer.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Setting Up Samba'''<br />
<br />
Step G - Now simply copy your 'samba' drawer that you've got ready to your SYS: or Workbench boot volume.<br />
<br />
Step H - Back in your RAM: volume you can now unpack and install SMBmounter, which is a nice GUI samba mount application to make using Samba very easy within Workbench.<br />
<br />
Step I - Now open your 'User-Startup' file in a text editor (User-Startup should be located in SYS:S/ drawer) then add the following just before ;BEGIN MUI or with your other ASSIGNS:<br />
<br />
<br />
:::::;Samba<br />
:::::Assign Samba: SYS:Samba<br />
:::::Path Samba:bin add<br />
:::::;end Samba<br />
<br />
<br />
Step J - Next open up your smb.conf file located in SYS:S/samba/lib/smb.conf and add or update the following entries in [global] (set these to your requirements and uncomment if not active):<br />
<br />
:::::[global]<br />
:::::workgroup = WORKGROUP<br />
:::::netbios name = AMIGA<br />
:::::hosts allow = 192.168.1.* 127.0.0.1<br />
:::::security = share<br />
:::::password level = 20<br />
:::::username level = 20<br />
:::::log file = /t/samba.%m.log<br />
<br />

Step F - Now also in RAM, open the drawer called 'smbfs-1.74-68k' and drag the 'smbfs' file also into your new 'samba' drawer that is within 'Samba-2.2.5'.<br />
<br />
You should end up with a 'samba' drawer with contents like this:</div>Simulanthttps://wiki.simulant.uk/index.php?title=Classic_68K_Amiga_SAMBA_setup&diff=23318Classic 68K Amiga SAMBA setup2020-05-18T09:49:42Z<p>Simulant: /* Basic Amiga 68K SAMBA setup steps */</p>

<div>SAMBA networking is very useful for Amiga computers, as it allows a fast and convenient way to transfer large files, games or software to your classic Commodore Amiga.<br />
<br />
A standard Amiga computer is limited to 880K floppy disk capacity unless you have a CD-ROM drive or other means to transfer files (and burning lots of CDs can be time consuming and wasteful on media).<br />
<br />
One option is a direct link via a serial or parallel cable from the Amiga to another PC, or even to use a telnet BBS service to upload and download files - these options can be slow and fiddly to implement.<br />
<br />
With SAMBA however, transferring files to your Amiga is as easy as opening up a Drawer in Workbench and dragging them to your Hard DIsk Drive or Compact Flash card - and everything can be done directly on the Amiga without having to use UAE etc!<br />
<br />
<br />
== Basic Amiga 68K SAMBA setup steps ==<br />
<br />
'''Prerequisites'''<br />
<br />
1. First add a Plipbox to your Amiga and have it setup with MiamiDX or similar TCP/IP stack so you have internet and Network connectivity available on the Amiga - see instructions and information here: '''[[Commodore Amiga Plipbox Ethernet Adapter]]'''<br />
<br />
2. Using your newly setup Plipbox download the following files from here: [http://wiki.simulant.uk/downloadable-files/amiga-68k-samba/ Amiga 68K Samba files] to your Amiga, or transfer them initially by other means you may already have.<br />
<br />
You now should have these in a folder on your Amiga:<br />

<br />
Add internet capability / Ethernet networking to your classic Commodore Amiga computer.<br />
<br />
(Not suitable for A1000 unless you are happy to make up an adapter to correct the pinout and gender).<br />
<br />
<br />
The Simulant Plipbox is a pre-made and assembled kit housed in a custom 3D printed case which allows you to get your Amiga online. It allows an Amiga to connect to an Ethernet network via the parallel port.<br />
<br />
<br />
This means the internet and web browsing can be used as well as Networking Amiga computers with SAMBA to other computers such as Windows, Mac, Linux or even other Amigas.<br />
<br />
<br />
Works with standard classic Amigas and also supported by the Vampire accelerator cards with Coffin OS (Coffin OS even includes the Plipbox driver in its Internet Setup Wizard so it is completely plug and play!)<br />
<br />
<br />
Powered by a "Mini USB cable" using 5v. A standard phone charger USB plug can be used or USB port from the Amiga or other nearby computer.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Usage Notes:'''<br />
<br />
1. Install plipbox.device driver in your Amiga "devs:network/" folder (if using Coffin OS with Amiga then ignore this step and run the internet setup wizard instead).<br />
<br />
2. After driver installation, always power on the Plipbox before powering on your Amiga (or at the same time). If the Plipbox is powered on after the Amiga then no internet connectivity will be found.<br />
<br />
3. Lastly you'll need a tcp/ip stack on your Amiga such as AmiTCP, Genesis, MiamiDx or Roadshow etc<br />
<br />
<br />
The Simulant made Plipbox is based on Lallafa's "Plipbox" along with the Kuro68k PCB board.<br />

This means the internet and web browsing can be used as well as Networking Amiga computers with SAMBA to other computers such as Windows, Mac, Linux or even other Amigas.<br />
<br />
Works with standard classic Amigas and also supported by the Vampire accelerator cards with Coffin OS (Coffin OS even includes the Plipbox driver in its Internet Setup Wizard so it is completely plug and play!)<br />
<br />
Powered by a "Mini USB cable" using 5v. A standard phone charger USB plug can be used or USB port from the Amiga or other nearby computer.<br />
<br />
'''Usage Notes:'''<br />
<br />
1. Install plipbox.device driver in your Amiga "devs:network/" folder (if using Coffin OS with Amiga then ignore this step and run the internet setup wizard instead).<br />
2. After driver installation, always power on the Plipbox before powering on your Amiga (or at the same time). If the Plipbox is powered on after the Amiga then no internet connectivity will be found.<br />
3. Lastly you'll need a tcp/ip stack on your Amiga such as AmiTCP, Genesis, MiamiDx or Roadshow etc<br />
<br />
<br />
The Simulant made Plipbox is based on Lallafa's "Plipbox" along with the Kuro68k PCB board.<br />

<div>[[File:amstrad-nc200-gotek-usb-floppy-emulator-internal-disk-drive.jpg|thumb|USB Floppy Kit installed in an Amstrad NC200]]<br />
<br />
The Simulant NC200 USB Gotek floppy disk drive kit is available from [https://www.simulant.uk/shop/Amstrad-NC200-Gotek-Floppy-Emulator-usb-drive https://www.simulant.uk/shop/Amstrad-NC200-Gotek-Floppy-Emulator-usb-drive]<br />
<br />
The Amstrad NC200 portable computer has a non-standard floppy disk drive making it difficult to swap the 3.5" original floppy for a USB floppy emulator alternative. This Simulant NC200 Gotek Floppy Kit is designed to fit as a straight swap of the original disk drive, allowing files and programs to be saved to USB. The use of USB flash drives with the Amstrad NC200 makes for safer backups and an easier way to transfer files across from a PC.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Fitting Tips to install Gotek in Amstrad NC200 ==<br />
<br />
Fitting the Simulant Gotek kit in the Amstrad NC200 is quite straightforward as the kit is a direct swap in replacement for the internal floppy disk drive.<br />
<br />
Great care does need to be taken though, mainly due to the case not being originally designed to be opened up! So once all the case screws are remove just be patient. Use a guitar pick, credit card or plastic spatula to gently pry the case open taking care to not snap the plastic locking tabs inside. The case surround that is at the bottom and sides of the keyboard is the most delicate area and can be easily snapped or broken. Once the case comes apart gently disconnect any internal connectors that may be in the way or stop you from opening it up fully.<br />
<br />
Once the kit is installed and working, just log into your Simulant Shop account to download our floppy disk images for the NC200. These can be copied and renamed to make more usable disks easily. Such as nc200.img, textDocuments.img, basicPrograms.img etc etc<br />
<br />
Simply copy these disk image files to a fat32 formatted usb stick and insert it in your NC200 gotek drive.<br />
<br />
You can then read, write or format them from the NC built in tools (see NC200 manual link below for usage instructions).<br />
