Yes, I think I could have set up a transmit/receive relay somehow,
although I am not sure how much data you get send in each transmit.
I think it's 256 bytes so it would take a long time to send the
data in the buffer to the A5000.

I think the MDFS plan is going to work, I'm just testing the MDFS
version of my "CHUNKFILE" routine with the free space checker.  If
it looks OK I'm going to give the Domesday Machine an hour's rest
and then start it going.   If I can get it going by 7pm it should have
finished copying DATA1 by midnight!!

Best wishes,




Ian

If you wanted to get it direct to the A5000 you could write a pair of apps
to send the file yourself. It shouldn't be too hard (famous last words)
but I'm not how quickly you could do the transfer that way.
