One would have to find the stuff. As the customer asked, "Eh? Don't all
computers have some kind of standard socket or something for a wire to do
that?" Not really. All modern ones have both USB and Ethernet, either
of which will do, but don't have floppy which is what the old machine is
supposed to use. Would have been two easy tranfers if he had upgraded
first from a 1994 machine to a end of the century one and then to a 2004
one, but he skipped the intermediate generation.
As it happens, I have both serial and parallel transfer cables, and both
computers have that kind of port, but the software I have doesn't work
under XP. So, it would require shopping and study. Easier to copy his
Juno 4 to floppies (using PKZIP to span under Win95), bring the spanned
set to a end of the century computer with WinMe and many kinds of ports
and drives, unZIP to HD, copy to USB thumb drive and then return to the
scene of the crime, umm, transfer I mean.
> The most basic approach is to remove the HD from the old and
temporarily transplant it into the new computer
Done it plenty of times with two desk computers that are made to be easy
to open up and futz with. Too scary, digging out a 2.5" drive from a
laptop, finding the proper IDE adaptors, and reinstalling afterwards.
