- There are several third party companies that sell floppies and hard drives
- that operate thru the parallel port. They also provide a thru connecter which
- will allow you to still use the parallel port for a printer.
- I have seen parallel hard drives for around $250 to $600 and floppies for
- around $150

- Hope this helps
