Hello, Wayne.

I overheard you talking with Charles A. about - -

 CA> If you have W31 on one machine and W9x or newer on the other
 CA> machine you can use a laplink null parallel cable with "Total
 CA> Commander" to transfer files quite rapidly via FTP between the
 CA> machines. It's what I use here on my machines. :-)

 WC> I need to snag that cable.
 WC> I've got both the other cables but not a 9 pin - 9 pin serial
 WC> cable.

I have Laplink cables.  I only use the parallel cable (yellow), because
it is faster.  Parallel data transfer cables can be had for about $5,
but I do have the Laplink Serial cable (blue) which is not being used,
and you can have it for the price of the stamps. If you're interested,
send an email - - jim.holsonback{at}juno.com

The Laplink Serial cable has both DB9 and DB25 pin female connectors on
each end.

I've never used the laplink software - - when I use the parallel cable
it is generally with bootable diskettes and the DOS Interlnk and
Intersvr programs. These work with 32-bit W95 long filenames and etc,
if you use the right version, and Xcopy32.


I see Roy J.T. posted wiring for data transfer cables.  Basically,
these data transfer cables are just a crossover setup, where output
from one end goes to input on the other, and vice-versa.


FWIW, I also have some other stuff here which I need to get rid of,
some free for the price of postage, and others which I had to buy, and
they will be at bargain prices.  I'm thinking of running a post in the
Fidonet 4Sale echo, and I'll fill you in on what's available if you
send the above email.
