A friend and I need to pass large graphic files between our two laptops. We don't want to go to the expense of network cards so were thinking of direct cable connection. Has any one any other suggestions, can one use DCC on USB for example? I presume parallel is faster than serial?
Thanks |

I'm looking for ways to move files between my new laptop and my desktop. Searching the web I've found a couple of companies selling special USB to USB file transfer packs, containing a special cable and software. Dynalink locally (www.dynalink.co.nz) for example sell such a thing. I'm hoping that someone out there might have some advice regarding these. |

Since posting my enquiry I have had the good sense to speak to the computer wizard at my local Dick Smiths. He sold me a USB data cable that comes with the data transfer software Part No XH 3267 cost $97. Works like a dream. A set of files we were trying to transfer using a serial data cable was going to take 88 minutes. The USB cable did it in under a minute! Hope this helps. |

Yes I too had to swap large files between 2 computers. I bought the data transfer cable from Dick Smith for $20 minus the software of course, and use the Direct Cable Connection as part of Win98(Start/Programs/Accessories/Communication/direct cable connection - or there abouts)which works well. |
