Well, yes, sort of. I wouldn't have any problem with the mechanical side of things. That is, I can wield a screwdriver and such. Assuming the cables match up and the slot is compatible, then I could do that. But I don't know what to do with it (or what to expect) when I boot up the W98. Will it simply "see" the 'new' HD as new hardware and show it available as Drive D:? Or would I have to do something software-wise to make it possible to read/write from/to it. Frankly, I wouldn't mind having the extra HD space available, too. But I don't know how to reconfigure the W98 to allow it/make it work. And the old HD does have an OS on it, and am afraid I will mess something up on the W98 machine. Since the latter questions are beyond my ken, I was hesitant to go marching off into uncharted territory. I would sure be willing to do it that way if it's a no-brainer process.

The nullmodem bit is/was familiar, so I tried that first. But I don't give a damn about which way I go.
