[Shop-talk] moving computer files

[Ian McFetridge]

Is it a SATA drive or a parallel (many pin drive)?
I've used these with good success.  Plug into drive on one end and into USB
of new computer on the other end.  They're also available for parallel.
 If you're near Philly, PA I have one you can use.
