Once upon a time, I used to take my 1200 with me on flights down south.

I sat it on top of my old 500, both plugged into the same 1084S, parallel linked using ProNET.

First, I coppied all the files off my 100Mb SCSI, then swapped 'The Party Mix' for the 520 (?) CD Drive and used it as my 1200's CD drive.

In short, using the network to control both computers with the one mouse and keyboard was pretty quick.

File copying, however, is a matter of 'set and forget', or maybe just come back in the time it takes to boot a 386 into Windex 3.11.  :-D
