can this be done with a usb to usb i would like to store some files on an
older model 486 that i have mp3 j peg so on what i need to know is if it can
be done or not or do i have to buy an external case for it or just buy a new
hard drive and do it that wat thanks
 
486 platforms came out before USB therefore USB networking is contraindicated.

If you load a MS OS on the 486 PC you can use Ethernet NICs on the WinXP PC and on the 486
and you can load File and Print Share on the 486 PC and store files.

However, I don't suggest it. I think you should go for a USB v2.0 external hard drive.

Nope. A USB external case and a IDE hard drive will serve you well.
