I need to transfer all files and documents from my old Tecra 510cdt laptop
(Pentium 166 MHz Win98SE) to my new one.
I've already have the necessary parallel cable, and I have tried to connect
these laptops (create direct cable connection network on XP, etc, and run
the DCC program on both laptops), but they are still fail to be connected.
Am I missed something? Or is it a compatibility issue?
You cannot use a standard DB-25 Parallel Port Cable!
To make a DCC parallel cable you need to connect the pins in the following
manner from one DB-25 connector to the other DB-25 connector.
