Well FBW - you are consistent. I don't think I am alone in thinking a 'public' apology would be in order. It was not a 'cheap shot' . You chose a 'public forum'. I could list those you have 'rattled' but there is no need. They all started out assuming a certain level of knowledge from your post and answered appropriately. That assumption proved to be wrong - their fault? Let me quote TINSTAAFL - just ONE of our invaluable contributors "Carping at people who are trying to help doesn't do you any favours, FBW. It makes us all think twice about even trying to help you. I know I hummed & ha-ed over responding..."
Beags - as Newswatcher and I said - Laplink is ok for what you want. It supports parallell connections which are 'n' faster than serial.
