Data recovery

[poundu1]

NEC Versa 2405 laptop Pent I 16M RAM 1GIG HDD
This laptop is/was running Win98
I have Easy Recovery 6.03 on a laptop running Win95.
I am trying to use the application on the previously named NEC.
The application is in a .ZIP and about 27 Megs. The only external media is a floppy drive.

* Is there an application that supports copying of a 27 MEG application to multiple floppys?

* Is Easy Recovery 6.03 the best application on the market for recovery?

eeek kids these days.... .. or was I just one of the few dumb enough to have piles of 20+ disk spans?

..but for the sake of being nice, here's a gimme: google for something to the effect of "span floppy"

Damn it if we're doing gimmies then try a null modem (christ tell me I'm not the only one old enough to remember these things) and save yourself some pain, or better yet borrow/buy a nic for your laptop....spanning floppies really isn't a "good" solution...

Remember them? *Remember* them? I use them on a fairly regular basis. I've got several in my toolkit. A Cisco rollover cable's a good example.

If you want to stroll down memory lane, let's talk IBM 3/60 punchcard reader/writers.

I have a huge Texas Instruments calculator like that, SR-52 model. Battery is long since dead, wish I could get a new one.

INTERLNK and INTERSRV. Saved my ass under DOS many, many times.

If you are trying to get data from the notebook to a desktop, try something like this: http://www.discountcomputerparts.net/product=C184-17705

If that isn't what you need, then what skroo just mentioned will work, you just need the cable. Here's a "how to":
