- >> Hello,
- >> Does anybody have something positive to say about LinkIt! ?
-
- I am able to transfer files twixt my clone and my 1200's internal IDE HD. I
- like the interface, and it is reasonably quick.

-
- I have a very similar experience when I attempt to transfer from clone to my
- 1200's external SCSI units (Iomega Zip drive and a small HD via Squirrel SCSI).
- I had hoped to be able to use Link-It as a cheap- if slow- way to use my Zip
- as a storage unit for my clone. I can still do it, but I have to transfer from
- clone to 1200 internal HD to 1200 external Zip. Kind of a pain..

- I haven't had to need to do any file conversion yet, but you appear to be
- right. There are a couple of iff to gif converters, and the convert.txt file
- in the clone Link-It directory mentions a Gif to BMP utility, but neither of
- those options would seem to help you.
-
- From my perspective, Link-It needs some work, but has some very nice potential.
- It is better/easier/faster than previous similar programs I have tried, though
- I would not be quite so generous if I were in your situation. Good Luck...
