There's no such thing as a 128 mb floppy disk.

Are you talking about a 128mb Disk on Key ( www.diskonkey.com ) type of device (USB device) or a tape cartridge backup or Zip/3M cartridges?

If you have USB devices such as Disk Ok Key, then yesyou can use these devices to transfer data between computers (as long as the computer supports USB).

But if you are talking about a specific type (manufacturer's) equipment, you'd have to backup to the device, then unattach the device, then install that equipment to the other "new" machine (supposing the OS is the same and you have the drivers for this device)... only then could your "new" machine be able to read the data on that non-standard equipment.
