importing midi files from Amiga - help!!!

I am switching to Protools LE (best decision I ever made), but have a hundred or so legacy midi songs that are important to me. They live on an Amiga. The Amiga saves in standard midi format (midi 0 and midi 1), but I can't figure out how to get them into Protools. I can save the standard midi files to the Amiga floppy drive, but no mac I own can read that floppy. I can put a mac-formatted floppy into the Amiga and try to save the file from the Amiga hard disk onto the mac-formatted floppy, but the Amiga can't read the mac-formatted disk. I suppose I could hook amiga midi out to protools midi in and record the midi into protools, but won't i then have to record it one track at a time, or will pro-tools be able to see that the incoming stream is ten separate tracks (bass, drums, etc)? What's the best way to import these precious legacy files? Heart-felt thanks in advance for any assistance!

You could send the whole deal to a friend in a another country and have him import it back to the USA. Oh come on... have a sense of humor.

Pretty sure you can do this with the amiga. The other possibility is to use a serial cable and then use a terminal program on your mac that can do "kermit" or some other type of file transfer protocol. You can then run some BBS software on the amiga and "log on" to it. can your amiga dial up the internet? If so, why don't you FTP the files from it to the net then FTP them back to your mac.

Oh, and lastly... Search google for software that can read AMIGA disks on the mac or PC, then use that. I'm sure somebody can lend you a PC to do this :-) Paul.

Joe, I used to own an amiga and this is how it's done... Get 'dos to dos' or ' mac to dos'...it's an amiga app that formats PC dos disks, copy the files to these disks, the mac can read dos disks. If you can locate an emplant or amax card for the A2000, 3000 or 4000 these can both format PC disks. Got both, interested? Email the files from the amiga, pick 'em up on a mac... By the way, wouldn't it be great if Ptools began making "midi plug-ins" like Bars and Pipes had? Blade PS for further help please respond with your email

Thanks to all who replied. Johnny Blade, what is your e-mail? I'm interested in discussing further the ideas you shared and a possible purchase of some of your old gear.
