[OB] HDD change for OB800CT

[Tom Knodt]

Gee, I see that I didn't read your question very well.  Would it be too much of a pain to remove the HDD, and hook it up to a Bytecc  USB / IDE cable, and copy them onto the HDD from another PC or laptop?  Then they could be accessed from their folder when the HDD is re-installed and booted.

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.

  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
