Default type a file to serial port and receive it on another computer

Paul,

While many would consider what Rudy is doing, to be some kind of joke,
this is a survival skill. If you're in the
jungle and two PCs won't talk to one another, this is
what you do.


To be honest, it /is/ a bit of a joke - to anyone who uses recent hardware.
Just grab an USB stick, boot from it and copy anything you want from it to
the DOS 16-bit FAT drive.

The thing is that I got some old/odd hardware here (some won't even
recognise an USB stick), and I'm trying to create a bit of a toolbox to work
with them.

You can look at it it as me putting a jigsaw puzzle together. The endproduct
might be considered absolutily worthless to most, but I've spend a number of
enjoyable hours on it (and picking some knowledge up along the way too
:-) ).

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
