I read the long thread from last year. You could install a DVD writer in the old system, and use Microlite edge to do a backup of the entire system to dvd rather than tape. The only issue may be finding an IDE drive rather than a SATA.
You can then selectively restore the directories or files that you want.
Unless you have different serial numbers on each machine, you will not be able to use rcp.
You could also just restore the application and the directory/files you are absolutely sure you need; start the application then wait for the "file not found" messages.
