[OB] HDD change for OB800CT

[Sam Rapp]

If you have another computer (with a serial port...) you should be able to use a null modem cable and winterm to transfer a file, I suppose.

  Subject: [OB] HDD change for OB800CT


  My wife is in need of a portable computer with wireless so I was trying to press one of the old OB800CTs into service.  I thought I had put in an old OB HDD but it turned out to be a 20GB one from an old Portege 3020CT.  Win98 is on the disc so after some churning it booted, much to my surprise.  But so far the PCMCIA ports don't work and it freezes when I attach the OB CDROM.  Any ideas how I can get the OB drivers on without starting from scratch?  Somewhere I have an old Avatar Shark parallel port drive and an old Zip drive but haven't tried them yet.  Maybe load files from the parallel port?  Thanks for any info,  Scott Stewart
