I should be more specific. I have no need at the moment for transfer to or from my miggies with either method. If I need some things on there, I tend to burn a DVD-RW or use crossdos to move floppies around (depending on the size of stuff). I asked about the parallel link more out of interest than necessity. The fun for me lies more in the hand building of a parallel to parallel cable and either adapting or writing software to do what I would want it to do. I had never heard of the parallel method and was therefore interested.
