How do I transfer files on old laptop?

[Citadel535]

My dad has an old laptop that is running WfW 3.11. I want to put 95 on it since it can take it (32MB 100MHz). However it had an external CD-ROM and floppy drive that have been misplaced.

On the back of the computer there is a parallel and serial port available that I would like to connect to one of my PCs to move files for Win95 onto it.

How can I do this? I have a null modem adapter + serial cable but it would take forever to move the Win95 cabs. Do I need a null modem adaper to send over a parallel cable? And if I do, how would I send it between a 98 machine and 3.11 (was using Kermit for serial transfer)?

Please help me out!

Uhm. I never really used laplink and dont know what to do with it. It is installed on the laptop but the 98 machine is a different story...

The only best way I can think of right now is to use one of the following items below. Just click on the link and you will see what I'm talking about. It will let you hook-up a laptop hdd to a desktop system. Which makes it very handy if you don't have any other better way's of transfering data.
