Late in on this , sorry.
What about a data transfer cable, available with a 9 pin AND 25 pin
connectors at each end.
We used these to migrate info to Win98 from 95 when 98 first arrived.
IIRC they were a challenge to set up in ome cases.

The OP wanted a remote desktop *without* networking, your data cable will
transfer data, but not a remote desktop signal to the laptop's video....
