     Since I got one desktop back up and it will boot w2k but without
internet (can't find driver for build-in NIC), I am trying to restore my
Linux discs. I downloaded Seagate tools on this, the OmniBook, which has no
diskette drive. The Sharp has diskette but can't recognize the same NIC I
use in this. I tried two parallel cables (I think one is sstraight-thru, the
other crossover) and tried the direct cable routine in w95. No luck. Both
machines are too old for USB,so I can use my external CD-ROM unit.
     I also need another Linux boot floppy, as those I have don't work. I
suppose I could download if I could solve the above problem.
