Never thought about it until now - but I'd like to hook up with my girlfriend's Dell (they all seem to have Dells - fishing in shallow water?) and really don't know what to expect. Can she copy my files to her drive under OS 9 via USB.
No.
Is this a File Sharing exercise, and how do I do it from the Dell side?
Basically you need to connect both computers via a ethernet crossover cable or through an ethernet hub, then you need either DAVE on the Mac or PC-MacLan on the PC so you can see each other's shared drives.
Neither is a particularly cheap solution.
OTOH, if you upgrade to OSX 10.3 on that mac of yours, no problemo! share away! set the native file sharing on both systems, enable 'Windows file Sharing' in the sharing control panel of OS X and you're set.
(Still have to connect via ethernet, not USB)
