[Hidden-tech] transferring a file/folder from a win 98 PC to an XPPC

[Mark Firehammer]

Hi Andrew, 
 
I'm not sure about some details. Interpretation could go multiple ways!  
Is the machine a laptop? 
You said: 
"The challenge has been that the win 98 PC does not have updated drivers to
either connect to the internet via Ethernet cable OR use a USB flash drive
(or a PCMCIA internet adapter or an external floppy drive.)"
Does it mean there is a PCMCIA slot just no Ethernet device or drivers?  Or
no PCMCIA slot at all?
 
If there is a card slot in that old girl, I have a Win 98 era DLink Ethernet
card and Win 98 drivers just for this scenario.  As long as your CD drive
works for install. Your welcome to use it.

Dear H-T,

I have a program that I would like to transfer from an old win 98 PC to an
XP PC.

The challenge has been that the win 98 PC does not have updated drivers to
either connect to the internet via ethernet cable OR use a USB flash drive
(or a PCMCIA internet adapter or an external floppy drive.)

It's a bit of a chicken and egg situation.  I can't get new drivers on it
because it doesn't recognize any more modern devices.  And if I could
connect it to the internet, I could save the file to an online file folder.

In terms of whether it will work properly or not, that remains to be seen
and I need to try anyway first before I pursue other options.  However, the
original developer assured me that it did not need a setup.exe file, only
the program.exe file which I have.

The original program was sold to another company and is no longer supported.

Muchas Gracias,
Andrew
