Sure, if you have the Series3 Organiser, you must get the AmigaNCP suite -
it's available as comm/misc/amincp15.lha from any Aminet site.
It really does make the transfer of files between the S3a and the Amiga
just so easy and as a very important added bonus if you also have a PC, there
is a freely available S3a emulator which links fine with AmiNCP on the Amiga!

probably from the comms section. I got it from the recent uploads list.
Just installed it last night, it's great, it provides a fileserver for
the Psion to read ADOS drives and a file system for the amiga to access
Psion devices like ADOS devices.
You will need the IBM Serial (Soap on a rope) link to use this package
though.

Sure, the soft is EXCELLENT for networking and such, but now that those
clone heads have gotten PsiWin, which does the translation between different
formats... they brag ;-)
No, get AmigaNCP and try it, it's getting better and 1.8 hasn't crashed
on me yet (used it twice only... )

You might also like to check out the Psion FAQ (see sig) which contains
info.

Yes, I have used AmigaNCP. It is a shareware program which mounts the
Psion's devices as AmigaDOS devices.
It is available on Aminet - but the version I had has an expiry date,
meaning you can only use it for a couple of weeks, without registering.

That's exactly what you get.
I think it in comms/misc on Aminet - Enjoy !!!
