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). Your news software is top-posting... I don't have a network card in the laptop to hook a crossover cable to - unless you can do that with a parallel or serial port. The laptop has USB and Wi-Fi. I could get a PCMCIA card that adds a USB 2.0 port... or a network card I'd never use again. --- * Synchronet * The Whitehouse BBS --- whitehouse.hulds.com --- check it out free usenet! --- Synchronet 3.15a-Win32 NewsLink 1.92 Time Warp of the Future BBS - telnet://time.synchro.net:24 |
