I actually just recently got SCSI2SD because the cable in the wall between my router and the work room computers broke. I switched to wireless on my windows machine, but as for the Indy, there's no networking unless i move it to the room where the router is and hook everything up there. I installed the SCSI2SD as a second hard drive, put some .txt files on it, but when i put the sd card in my PC, it's unreadable. is there any way to retrieve the files? I've seen other threads where people install old versions of Linux on virtual machines and get it off that way. Also... there was a guy who managed to set up an SD card so that he could put it in his Amiga using SCSI2SD and then just view the files on Mac/Windows. Here's the link for that one. https://www.amigalove.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1823

The problem is that Irix uses a file system that isn't support by Windows (at all) or Linux (any recent distro).

As a start -- what OS version is on your Indy? If it's 5.3, you can just use efs2tar to convert the entire contents of the disk to a tar. But this only works to get files off the Indy. Two way transfer would require much more work, like getting a sufficiently old BSD distro working or compiling your own. If it's 6.2, you're sort of out of luck -- to my knowledge there isn't a good XFS V1 solution. If it's 6.5, you can just use the method linked a few posts above.

Note, however, that all of these methods are going to be much more work than just fixing networking if you're main goal is two-way file transfer.
