He has no SCSI, no ethernet card, are you proposing to clone the machine over the serial cable? In general, this is not a very hard problem to solve if you have a certain minimum amount of connectivity between the two machines, but clearly you're going to be faced with diminishing returns as you approach the "I have a floppy, he has a floppy. What now?" sorts of scenarios and I can't say that have much personal interest in solving those. Jordan
