Well, it turned out that I had the right cable after all. Except that transferring files via a serial cable takes forever. I'm going to get an external CD-R drive for my old PC, if possible - it's going to be easier to select which files I want to transfer, for starters, and I'll also end up with backups.
Otherwise, I did buy those shoes, and late in the afternoon tried them out, in Blenheim Park and along Akeman Street. It was too late to mount a serious walk, and I ended up dashing for the north gate of Blenheim Park in case it shut at dusk, and walking back to Woodstock along the less than attractive A44 in the dark is not a route that I'd recommend for those in search of the picturesque. Next time - a walk earlier in the day, and with the aim of going all the way along Akeman Street to Stonesfield.
The Roman surface of Akeman Street is long gone - my new shoes became very muddy, although most of the mud fell off on the way back.
