Hi
So I have a really old Amstrad PC1512 with 20MB HDD. There are files
that I'd like to retrieve into a more modern environment - Win10.
The old PC has a 5 1/4" floppy, a serial port, and a parallel port.
The old PC also has Laplink v3.00a.

Is there anything that'll run on a Win10 PC that is compatible with
Laplink? Laplink themselves just told me (online chat) that the older
machine has to be Win7 or later. So DOS3.30 is out of the question then!
Ta.

Laplink was standard fare in the win 3.1 days.


Do you know if the hard disc drive is a RLL or a MFM or IDE interface?

If its IDE, you can get IDE to USB adepters..... like this one:

It's an ST506 interface using MFM.

oh boy.
