so you may wake up to an imdb reply email in a couple of years from me again, but the USB thing seems like a very good start.
I see
but that $7 USB thing is probably the all around simplest way to get data off that drive that i can think of and it's cheap enough so you don't have much to lose.
even if you get the laptop to display the text through your VGA port to a different monitor (and the like) you would still need a way to copy that data out of it so you can view it on a more modern computer and since that laptop, at least the one in the picture you showed me, only seems to have a Floppy drive and no USB port then you pretty much only got the Floppy disc option or, what i described, which is removing the hard drive from the laptop and installing it into a external hard drive enclosure so then it will work on a USB connection with modern computers.
but anyways, good luck and i might see you in a couple of years. but by then you might have to refresh my memory on the situation since i might not remember this conversation by then
As for the VGA keyboard command, I'd never heard of that, so if that's something I can figure out, it should be easy enough for me to test.
I am not 100% sure on that keyboard thing but i think with the older laptops you had to do something (like pressing keys on the keyboard) to tell the laptop to use the external display port as i don't think it's automatic.
but yeah, my guess is you will be able to figure it out simply by looking at the keyboard on the laptop closely as i believe there should be something there to tell the laptop to use the external VGA port so it displays through there instead of the usual laptop screen.
