Hi,
Well, first of all, Hi and welcome ;)
You're pulling my favorite stunt of getting the versions all balled up :) I don't think there is a version after 1.09. That's the version that shows on my startup screen and I just logged onto b.net to see if it was current. But, never mind. that is of small concern.
On your main question, I'm not too sure about what will and will not work. However, HowGozit covered much of the necessary info in http://www.lurkerlounge.com/diablo/informa...-howgozit.shtml Perhaps that will be of help. It looks to me that you might have to install Diablo, upgrade to version 1.07, use Kevin's or Stu's programs to transfer your characters (unless the new machine is named the same as the old), then upgrade to 1.09 to convert the characters (or maybe first to 1.08, since I don't know if the conversion is stayed in the program.)
Patches 1.04 and up are available on Buzzard's ftp site at http://ftp.blizzard.com/ Specifically at http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/diablo/patches/pc/ for the pc. However, I don't recall if that link will work directly. You might need to follow the directory structure of the ftp site.
Good luck,
--Pete
