I was going to ask that question: How do you hook them together? Before (like 15 years ago or less or more), before Internet, USB, Wifi and all that, I know one could have direct connection through serial cable (not the parallel port for the printer, the serial one) and use an MS-DOS software called Lynx I think (very basic bluescreen application)
Benefit: very esay to use and transfer rates were ok for that time...But of course nothing to do with present daytime transfer rates..
I don't know if you can do it using parallel ports, but anyway we don't have much of these today with USB ports...
But if all you supports fail (CD/DVD rom drive, USB key, USB ports, Wifi-, Internet,) well this could be the last solution!( and could save you...)
Makes sense?
