backing up an old computer

[masif]

Ok, I have somebody who wants me to copy a few files from his old computer and transfer them on to the new computer.

The old computer is a really old one with windows 95 on it. It doesn't have any USB ports. All the external storage devices come with USB connection. The files that I have to copy are fe hundred mgs so I couldn't use floppies. The computer doesn't have network card and I won't wanna have to go thru the pain to install one. What are my options besides taking the hard drive out and putting it in the new computer?

You can use a direct serial cable connection as described here:

Of course you'll have to purchase the proper cable if not at hand...

Take a look at this link, it outlines various ways of connecting two computers without a NIC (ie - a serial or parallel cable).

Why not just take the two seconds to slave the old harddrive?
