Sernet is probably just as viable a solution, if you can get it to connect between the machines in question. Sernet and QL-PC Fileserver must work at about the same speed (i.e. limited by serial ports) I'd have thought. Pity Qubide doesn't do QXL.WIN or you might have been able to speed up disk transfer with an IDE Iomega Zip or EZ135 drive or some such device capable of connection to QL and PC. If Duncan Neithercutt or Wolgang Lenerz are listening, could programs like QCDEZE or QXLWIN help put files into a QXL.WIN on a zip disk on a Qubide equipped QL? There was also a version of Discover which I remember Dave Walker proposing at one point for Qubides, don't know how far that got.
