Re: Data Transfer - New Computer

["Jim Barone" <wooglin.org@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks gentlemen for all your 
input.
 
I have decided to use Windows Commander 
version 4.51 on both computers as recommended by Chris Baude. It's freeware from 
www.ghisler.com. It requires connecting the 
parallel ports on each machine with a special cable. They advise using a 
Laplink parallel cable. They also provide the wiring/pin out diagrams for the 
cable. With that, I was able to use a micropatch adapter made by Datatran Corp 
to make the wire configuration and tied this to a conventional parallel 
cable. (The adapter is like a bread board with a 25 pin male connector on one 
end and a 25 pin female connector on the other with space in between to 
place jumper wires in the correct pin positions on each end.) WC is set up 
on one computer as the client and as the server on the other. 
Operating from the client, files are readily copied from one computer to the 
other. Transfer rates are said to be about 50Kbps.

    I forgot who wanted a program to move data 
    from one computer to another.
     
    I have a program that will do the trick and 
    can send as an email attachment.
    There are 2 files (one about 350 KB and the 
    other 430 KB). All is required is a cable and these 2 files. Just install 
    your software from the vendor and then transfer the files. I just 
    transferred a 767MB data file from one computer to another and nothing was 
    dropped/lost/screwed-up.
