Hi all,
Looking for a decent way to transfer the contents of the HD on a Canon Innovabook 10C, circa '94. It has the beginnings of a game I was trying to make using Turbo C back then, along with some other things it would be nice to keep. Copied a few things over with floppies and a bridge machine to an SD card, but looking for a convenient way to copy the entire thing (250MB).
A few details on it:
Has DOS 6.21 installed and Win 3.1, although something is wrong with the trackball under windows - either driver issue or possible internal hardware problem, as there was some leakage from the battery (now removed).
Has serial, parallel, and 1.44MB floppy. Also does seem to have a PCMCIA modem but not sure about the driver situation with that and also missing an external connector.
Has some version of Laplink installed on it which I have a very dim memory of using back in the day. The Win 98 bridge machine I am using also has parallel/serial ports and boots from an SD to IDE thing so if I can get it to that machine, the job is done. Not sure how easy it would be to get laplink working but possibly a supported version may run on that bridge machine.
If all else fails I can just sit there with hundreds of floppies but hopefully there's an easier way, any ideas? Thanks.
