Right, the original was a 1.3 GB

Right, again. The original was a 180 MHz. Your friend's has a 320 MHz 
G3 upgrade, very nice.

Try using a fast 100 Mb/s ethernet card or a firewire card.

Sorry, I don't know about IrDA but to work on the disk there are 
several options: you can connect the two by ethernet, put the 2400c 
into SCSI disk mode and connect it to a Mac with a SCSI port, find an 
external SCSI CD drive that works or take the 6 GB drive out and put it 
in your Pismo. I do not recommend the latter since working inside the 
2400c is very difficult for the uninitiated.
