Anyone want to recommend one over the other? Do these programs also
support backing up data on a PCMCIA card, as far as I can work out the
Connectivity pack (old one) WILL ONLY BACKUP DATA ON THE B: DRIVE
(ram) NOT ON MY E: DRIVE (pcmcia)

>2) SYNCHRONISE: lets you feed OG files to win progs and back.

Thanks for the info Peter, it will certainly be useful (assuming
either or both of these are still available.
