Forrest,
Another option is to set up DOS networking. MSWGCN.exe (free from
microsoft) a couple of network cards, some wire, and some determination
(well sometimes lots :-). It runs Netbui protocol, for XP another install
from the CD.
Win boxes can't see the DOS box but it sure is nice to type e: on the DOS
controller and see and copy my Win design box hard disk.
