Ok, this is probably gonna sound crazy. I have an old laptop with a busted 3.5" drive. All I have to work with is a parallel port and serial port. I need to find a way to connect it to my Win2k machine. I was able to connect it DOS to DOS with its built-in Interlink program, but Win2k doesn't seem to have it. Any suggestions on what could be used that would work on both platforms?

Well, this is going to sound like one of those walk 2 miles uphill to school stories, but what you are trying to should be possible.

The 'optimal' solution on a non-PCMCIA laptop is a Xircom Parallel Network adapter. That plus the MS Network client (in the clients directory on any NTS CD) plus some tweaking should get the DOS machine talking to NT.

If you only need to transfer a few files, it would probably be easier to get a Null Modem cable between the serial ports. Use any DOS Comm program and HyperTerminal and then use Kermit, XModem, YModem, or ZModem (best) to transfer the files.
