Hi,

I think you can buy an adapter plug from MacWharehouse for you monitor 
connection to your laptop. But it's normally the other way - running a PC 
monitor on your Mac - make sure they understand what you want to do.

Alternatively, you may have some friends doing electronics who can make an 
adaptor plug for you. I think it's just a matter of getting some wires swapped 
around.

If you're laptop has ethernet it should be OK, but you'll probably need some 
appropriate software.

If you just want to transfer files by wire (serial connection) rather than a 
million floppy disks, use MacLink Plus. I use it all the time and it's OK.
