[HLUG] A couple of ink cartridges and a data transfer problem

[Pete Linnell]

Hi Chris,
Long time no see !
Interesting data transfer challenge. I have still a working 1990's 
Toshiba sattelite laptop with USB Mk1 ports and can run it from a 
DSLinux CD which is my standard data recovery OS. Or we could try to 
build a zombie box from my spares pile :)
email me a phone number to pete at lifespacedesign.co.uk if you like to 
call by and try this out!

Mind the Gap
Pete
