    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.

      The easiest way would be to copy the old HDD to an external which has either FAT-32 or EXFAT file system, si it can be fully accessed on either PC or Mac.

        There's a good computer repair shop on Trolley Square, Wilmington in Delaware if you are near there.

                If you feel that you must and you are capable of doing so I suppose there is nothing I can do about that.

                      Is there a newcomers forum here or a welcome thread?
                      It seems that most of the threads I can see are very old.

                        Basically everything happens in general discussion. You can view all recently bumped threads there from all board categories.

                          All bumped threads though? There is a lot of movies and TV shows here, and actors and directors too. It must be busy there.

                            It's mostly off topic stuff.
