Hi T,
Since I'm not familiar with the modern PowerBooks, I don't know whether or
not they support the original AppleShare file sharing via the Printer port
and PhoneNet connectors, but that of course would be the simplest solution.
On the other hand, if the PowerBook has a standard Serial port, you could
use a null-modem cable to connect, and use a regular terminal program (like
ZTerm or Red Ryder/White Knight) on the Plus with a transfer protocol like
Xmodem or Zmodem to move the files.
