Hi there.
I have connected my Falcon via parallel port to my PC running Win ME as OS. With a specific patched cable very fast file transfer (about 100-110 Kbyte/sec) is possible. Using the ParCP-Client on my Falcon I am able to access ALL drives of my Pc (and all drives of my Falcon on the other side).
This solution is best to transfer files. And of course the cheapest! You just have to change 2 pins of your parallel cable!
