Direct Cable Connection in DOS

i have a direct connecting parallel cable for data transfers that i'd like to use in dos. it has to be used in dos because the disk imaging program that i have only runs from dos. is there a way that i can modify a 98 boot disk to allow for a direct cable connection to my laptop? is there a program that can do this for me? i am aware of interlnk and intersvr, but they do not accomplish what i need to do. i basically need a program that will create drive letters of the server's hard drives on the client machine before my imaging software is launched. then i should be able to use these mapped drives within the imaging program to copy the image file to the server. i realize that putting it on a network would be simpler, but i have several computers to do this on and that is not an option.

Thanks,
AL
 
interlnk and intersvr will map drive letters between the machines. It has been a long time since I set up 2 PCs using interlnk and intersvr but I do know for a fact that the drives on the server were mapped to the client machine. Also, Norton Ghost 2002 has a provision to create a boot disk that will work over a direct cable connection such as USB, parallel, etc.
