I bought one in 1991 with a 200 MB drive and now DOS 6.0 has oomphed it to almost 400. I just had a qualm at the thought that someday I will leave this machine. What's the most efficient way to transfer a disk load of files like that to a new machine? Is there a way to cable a to b and do it rapidly? The thought of some version of DOS backup and hundreds of floppies (the extension of my old technique when abandoning a mere 30MB drive) does not appeal to me.

Does anyone have any experience with this? It seems like a great help to blending research with teaching. Is this a great pedagogical boon, or a another high-tech distraction?
