SUPER old technology

[Melodi]

I like old technology but even I know when to say enough is enough.
A friend of mine has a DPS Electronics laptop called a Tracer, it is almost Identical to the Toshiba Protege that I have, sadly both are older than time with 3 gig hdds. My toshiba though at least has a one usb plug that works and I am able to get it on line with a very old wireless card.
The Tracer, I upgraded it from Win95 to Win98 and tried to install the wireless card I use on my Toshiba but it will not install, it hangs up. I could probably get it to install if I disable the norton security thing but I spent more than enough time on it. So then I was going to use the FAST to transfer the files to her new one and its going to require 51 floppy disks, yeah right.
So anyone have a viable suggestion to get the documents and such off the tracer to the new laptop when it wont connect to a network, there is no usb, it only has a 28k modem a serial and a parallel port. I wanted to take the hdd out of it and put it into my toshiba, but I cant find the hdd in the tracer.....anyone know where it is??????

Sure doesn't sound like you had it all apart if you dont know where the drive is..

Ok, you are right, it wasn't all apart, but it was close. I found out now that the hdd is under the keyboard. However the same person who told me this also said to use laplink and a parallel cable, which I might try, since you and I both know I have laplink.
How I found this person: I googled that tracer and came up to an old tech forum that had a post regarding that laptop and the post was from 2001 and the guy's email was on it and I emailed him and.............he emailed back!!!

Wow!!
