I can't email since there is no internet or network connect. You'd be surprized how often i've used email to transfer files since it was just the path of least resistance.

The Laplink (serial or parallel network) is a good idea.

>>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.

>>Any better ideas how to get the data off?
