| 292181 | 2004-11-15 00:30:00 | Having bought a new computer, I need to transfer data from Win 95b to 98SE. I am intending to do this via a parallel data transfer cable. I haven't got a huge lot of files, Would Windows "Direct Cable Connection"do the job for me, or should I download "Fastlynx"?? Also, any handy tips? |

However, if long term you want to use both computers, and be able to transfer files between them, share internet etc. it would be worth investing in a network - just 1 network card for each computer (usually about $15 each), plus a crossover cable (about $10 for a 5m or thereabouts). |
