I have a question that I need assitance on. I want to
transfer some files from my old computer to my new one.
However, my new one doesn't have a 3.5" drive which makes
it hard to do it the old way, so I decided to connect it
via the serial ports. I have it connected, but I can't
figure out how to access the files on my old one from my
new computer. Can anyone assist me on this?
