Hi, the previous floppy disk method of transfering data between 'boxes' is becoming increasingly unsatisfactory. Often the hardware is mechanically incompatabily aligned, so that write on device A won't read in device B. n-o has no recovery from fd0 errors, in that the device keeps spinning after error detection. I don't want my fd0s to continue running/wearing so I pull-it's-plug-out until the next reboot. To transfer from a 'notebook' which doesn't have a fd0 [increasingly common in future] DOS's interlink via the serial port is good. Did anybody transfer from DOS to n-o's V24.Panel ? It looks as if 'USB-sticks' will be the method in the near future ? It's a bit absurd for me to email a 500Kb text file to myself to move it 3 meters to a different box. Fixed networks, too are not flexible enough, when the boxes are being moved around. Thanks for any advice. == Chris Glur.
