Laplink
Laplink (stylized as LapLink) was a proprietary piece of software developed by Mark Eppley and sold by Traveling Software, which is now [[Laplink Software.]][1] First available in 1983,[1] LapLink was used to synchronize, copy, or move, files between two PCs, in an era before local area networks, using the parallel port and a LapLink cable or serial port and a null modem cable or USB and a USB adhoc network cable.[2][3][4]
LapLink was the predecessor to Laplink PCmover.
LapLink typically shipped with a LapLink cable to link two PCs together, enabling the transfer of files from one PC to the other using the LapLink software.
