That hard drive is probably multiple gigabytes, it would take days to weeks to transfer that over a serial port. If the computer has a PC card slot, I would look for an ethernet adapter that would work with it.

Heh I managed to jump directly from best-case to worst-case, but hey, that still leaves everything in between as options. :-)

Yeah, speed is everything and there are pcmcia ethernet cards for $10 or less on ebay if OP has that option.

  It does have pcm slot and it does work. Ethernet may be my best option.
  
  The other issue is the cd drive spins up but does not seem to be able to be reading either.
