- My brother just got a oldish laptop, used.
- It has 2 floppies but no harddrive. I've been using pc's for years, so I am a
- pretty good power user, but I have never ever touched hardware in my life.
-
- I'm wondering if there is a way to hook up an external hd to this old laptop.
- The only ports it has on the back are one serial, one parallel, and one video.
-
- I know a hd can't plug right on to parallel port of course, but perhaps there
- is some tricky device that can go there, to connect a hd.
-
- Any help at all is appreciated...
