Classic Amiga PARNET on OS4 is it possible?

Hey guys
i'm wondering if its possible to link my Peg2 OS 4.1 u6 to my amiga via PARNET parallel port cable and software?

All you can do is try it but somehow I don't think it will work. I expect for speed that software will be hitting the parallel port hardware directly. Depending what amiga you have, serial might actually be faster eg. via a silver surfer or multiface III card or similar. Netfs via ethernet is the best option though.

Isn't the pinout from the ports a little different ? I can remember to had to buy a special parallel cable for my Epson scanner.

thanks for the replies guys thats what i thought that PARNET bangs the metal on classics. I guess SERNET could be an option. I dont have networking on the amiga its an a4000

What *does* work is a classic nullmodem serial connection and a terminal program. I did this with my Pegasos II and my Amiga 2000 systems. You can use Term (remember a updated bgui.library!), Termie or Transfer_S (see Aminet and/or OS4Depot). Beware: Both my Amiga 2000 feature Multiface cards - I won't recommend the internal serial port of the Amigas...

@magnetic

the best Parnet compatible/equivalent would be the project package as it offers both parallel and serial link options (also a special floppy port option)

However...

The catch with any non-68K Amiga system 'compatible regardless of the machine is this...

Amiga 68K system parallel ports include the equivalent of SCSI termination resistor packs on the port lines,
Mac / Pegasos / sam440 / X1000 and other machines all use PC equivalent ports which lack this crucial electronics difference.

This difference is one of the key factors making parnet possible electronically.

If anyone wishes to provide a "fixed" parallel port card with an updated parent/project device setup?

I recall at some point seeing some claimed parnet sources...
if anyone can track those down or the above project sources
it may be possible to build on that for an updated parnet?
