>>I have a 20 meg image file that I have to get off an old 286's WORM drive. I'm trying to do this without buying any new hardware, but will buy some hardware if I have to.
>>
>>- I can't install the WORM drive into a new computer, since none have SCSI cards in them
>>- I can't copy the data to the hard drive and move the hard drive to a new computer since none of our new computers have SCSI connectors
>>- the NIC is COAX and we don't have any COAX to twisted pair convertor
>>- no USB connectors on the old computer to install an external drive or thumb drive
>>- no ZIP drive, not sure if one would work on that vintage of computer
>>
>>The best option that I can think of is perhaps to use PKZIP and a ton of floppies to get the data off.
>>
>>Any better ideas how to get the data off?
