Hi All,
Our AS1 is currently running on an old Win98 machine that is not network capable and its USB ports are not enabled. It does have a zip drive. I aquired a newer machine, but I can't figure out an efficient way to move two years of data to the new machine. The zip drive is very slow and the disks don't hold much more than a month or two of data (does that sound right?). I could go back and note the dates of major events and just move the folders for those days, but could I just drop them into the month folders on the new machine? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

You might be able to transfer via the serial port using kermit
(http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/)
although I have not used this program this millennium so
I am not completely sure. It may be necessary to use
"binary" mode for sac files; also log in as admin.
Note that kermit 95 has a free trial.
I don't know if kermit supports directories; you might
try compressing all the files (try winzip maybe) - actually,
that may reduce the size for your zip drive.

ps. you will need a cable to connect the serial ports also....

Craig,
As long as you maintain the directory structure, you can move selected
files and folders to a new machine. Just make sure you recreate the
2005 or 2006 folder and copy the month/day folders under them. Amaseis
can scroll back through non-continuous data with no problems.
I agree that moving the large events is likely your most efficient
method. However, this will at least save space on your new machine!
Good Luck-
