I have an IBM XT at home. At night I go to the local University library to do
research for my Masters Thesis. Rather than write the info on paper, take it
home, and type it into my XT, I would rather type it into a directly into a
laptop and transfer it at home. I want to keep cost down so I will buy a cheap
one, or possibly rent.

Questions:
1) Most of the laptops have 3 1/2 drives. How would I transfer my data to my
   5 1/4 (I currently don't have a modem). Can I use the serial port.
   Parallel Port?
2) I can get a Tandy 102 for a good price, but it is not MS-DOS compatable.
   How would I transfer the data?

Thanks

Brian
