The title pretty much says it all. I have an antique PC-AT (286) with a lot of files on its hard drive. The floppy drives are dead. I want to get the files off the HD. I have a null modem adaptor (25-pin) but I can't get the two machines (the other is W98 with Hyperterm running) to talk or connect. Problem could be anywhere, since it has been years since I've done this, and don't exactly remember how. I believe I have the software set correctly, but.... Any help would be appreciated. JGO
