Well, I've gone and done it - bought an ibm-contemptible (from
Swan) to [*snif*] replace my trusty HZ-100. So over the next few
months [post-taxes, etc] I'll be wanting to shlep a bunch of files to
the new semi-infinite disk. A LOT of that stuff is on 8" disks.
I've asked this question before (when I bought a used laptop
that had no 5" drive, but I spliced my HZ drive to it as an external):
Is there a GOOD way to transfer files between Z-100's and IBM clones?
The laptop came with ZCOM, which can move stuff between clones at
115Kbps, which is fantastic. But as far as I know, that Zenith program
isn't available for the Z-100. I don't need whistles and bells; just
plain vanilla file "moveage" with minimum hassle. When all else fails,
I'll spend the time to make Kermit run as a server in one machine and
see what it takes to get its speed/packet-size up to where it isn't so
damn slow. But what else can I do that has a zero-length learning
curve?
I s'pose I should also ask whether any of you has grafted an
8" drive to a clone. If I get truly interested, I can ask the PC
crowd.
