In need of a C compiler on floppy

Hi,

I cannot get off my Amiga 500, I have a USB floppy drive on my Windows 11 machine
but I cannot mount any ADOS FFS floppies.

I thought to buy a SDbox v2 to use its FAT32 filesystem.

Then again, I'd like to ask if someone could send me a floppy of a A500 C compiler. I'd adequately pay for it. Else I'd have to program it in AmigaBASIC.

Ever thought to build / buy Drawbridge:

I haven't looked to much into this specific solution, but it seems OK, there where only a few C / compilers for Amiga that could be used with a single floppy system but most of them where replaced by better and bigger successors.


Other possibilities to get Amiga files from or to PC are using a serial cable, USB2Serial adapters for PCs are cheap.

One of the smallest C compilers for Amiga was the DICE C compiler:

Looks good but it's an enormous hardware hack for me.

I work on WB 1.3 and 2.05, could you give me a binary for these ?
Even if it was boxed or something in the 80-90ies.

How do I use these in WB 1.3 ? I have the kernel hacking ROM Amiga books, but I guess I cannot do this hack on a serial port in AmigaBASIC.

Is 2.6 Mb on the sources though.
