   Get Brooklyn Bridge (5th Generation Systems) or LapLink (?).

   The old IBM PC-1 is capable of 115K bps transmissions on a
direct serial-port-to-serial-port link. I used to use my old PC-1
(affectionately named "Petula the PC") as a 5 1/4" floppy for my
PS/2 Mod 70 until I got ahold of an external drive. It was no
problrm with Brooklyn Bridge (except the link had to be established
to boot time, and could not be set up dynamically), and it gave me
access to Petula's 40 MB of HD space as well.
