tried it at the weekend between two PC's  - didn't even bother to load
on an Elonex PII-233 with FAT32, oh well, lets give up and go home.

The solution was to rip out the old drive and stick it on the 2nd IDE channel
for few seconds, copy the data across, and dump it back in the dx-33.

Much faster than arsing around with serial cables (made with burglar alarm
cable!)

David, typing this at home and asleep.
