Hiya!
I agree with you, floppys is a pain.
Atari claimed that the Falcon´s LAN port is "Localtalk-compatible", so I have spent many hours trying to hook my Falc up to one of my MAC´s, since no MAC have a real paralell port (for PARCP), but I can´t get it working... :-(
Seems to me that the LAN port is "compatible" with nothing at all. And even if I could get it working, people tell me it would be so painfully slow, so I´d go right back to floppys again... (nothing like PARCP)
Fortunately, You can still get the latest PARCP, at this archive:
http://sac.itb.it/comm/parcp380.zip
I use this version every day, and it RoCkS! My PARCP network now includes 1 FALCON, 1 MEGA4, 2x 1040 STE, and 2x winboxes. It also works super between two ATARIs, of course! (like Your Falc´s :-) Hm, do I hate Apple for not givi´n their MAC´s a STandard Centronics paralell port??!!
Well, go get PARCP and have a HAPPY new year ;-D
/F/
