Thanks to all for some good ideas.
I now have a few MB on a thumb drive from Mac, XP, 98, and
Ubuntu on machines from 3 different manufacturers and
so far so good.
It's a Cruzer 8 GB, which some say is slow, but is more
than adequate for my immediate needs.
I just installed it this morning...
Thanks for some good ideas.
For both USB floppies and thumb drives, it seems the usual
details about compatibility are inadequate to be sure of
selecting a "great" alternative.
Maybe has a lot to do with lack of motivation of the
manufacturers to do extensive testing and so there may be a
lot...
I need to be able to move small amounts of data among various
legacy and modern machines, including machines deliberately
not networked.
SneakerNet would be attractive if all had floppy drives.
Or maybe I could use CD, if I could figure out how to write
a multisession CD.
Using drutil on Mac OS...
Need to replace a MK1032GAX 100GB 5400 RPM ATA-6 HD in a
Toshiba A75-S213 laptop.
Any suggestions about what upgrade drives might work in that machine?
Or likely problems locating a good drive? eBay??
Or hints about loosening the very tight screws on the outside door?
Or how to find answers...
