- AmigaMidiRecieve allows file transfer from any OS to Amiga via MIDI using drag and drop.
- MIDI transfer is slow (31.25 kbit/s) due to 1983 standards but uses affordable components.
- Use case: Avoid swapping floppies or when other connections to the Amiga are unavailable.
- Experimental software with no error correction; files in Amiga RAM: Disk will be overwritten.
- Requires 2 MB+ RAM on Amiga and specific setup including MIDI interface and Python 3 on PC.
- Transfer process involves starting MidiRecieveToRam.exe on Amiga and running a Python script on PC.
- No support provided; modify parameters like CHUNK_GAP_SEC for troubleshooting.
- Tested on real hardware; unsure if WinUAE loopback works.
- Quick start files include MIDIGETWB13.DMS for Amiga and midi_to_amiga_final_dnd.py for PC.
