Hi guys,
Iam Planning to upgrade my old system im my office. It is very old... Think its p1
...
In our office there are 2 system:
1-> Server: Its an old p1 based system. It stores all our Companies a/c... Very important datas...(dos based)
2-> Client : It is also an old system. it is connected to server by an old model lan card (Picture attached). On it startup it will ask whether it should start with lan. If "y" given it will start in dos mode(for accounts purpose). If "n" given it will start windows98 (which is installed in system itself)...
Now i wanna update System2 (client). I hav few que regarding it...
1. Is it possible to install thiese old type of lan card in latest system???

as it doesn't fit pci slot(its huge). If so the problem ends here. Any other way???
2. Is it possible to install the hdd of the server to the new machine??? So tat the comp cud work without server. My service man tells tat the hdd in the server is very old n it cannot be installed in new systems...
3. Is it possible to backup the hdd of the server to new hdd n install it in new system???
4. is it possible to upgrade the server itself??? so tat the client can be easily upgraded...
5. Is it possible 2 install new model lan card in the server??? As the client already has new model lan card... if so how 2 install driver?? as its dos based n it doesn't hav any cd r floppy drive
Please help me out... Now iam in critical situation tat i sud upgrade my system for other office purpose...
Thanks in advance
