Why don't you just use a USB hard drive or a USB flash drive? Since you
are using Windows 98SE, you will need drivers to see the USB device, but
most of these things do have the drivers available. Alternatively, for
the one-time purpose of data recovery only, you can network the laptop
and the desktop together with nothing more than a crossover cable.



Hmmm. Good idea. Thanks. Would you recommend a Lexar or Swivel flash
drive (that's what's at the store by my house). The old PIII laptop
has USB 1.1 and Win98SE. Both manufacturers says the drives work with
98 and USB 1.1 (they are USB 2.0 drives).
