[DuoList] How do I get a file off a 2400c w/ no disk or ZIP drives?

[Chuck Kenney]

Not a USB flash drive.  PCMCIA to compact flash adapter, with a  
compact flash card inserted.  Then also a USB compact flash card reader.

Of course, if you're cardbus enabled, you could use a Cardbus USB  
card, but I've never tried one of those with a flash drive.
