Here is a list of parallel port device vendors, some of them
sell floppy drives.  Also, Sparcom sells a serial port drive
designed for the HP-95LX which works on other machines as well.

Last Revision 1992.11.05

Parallel port (printer) devices and some unusual serial devices (not
mice, modems or printers) for MS-DOS machines.

I will put together a seperate portable mice or printer list if people
send me the information.

The latest version of this file is available via anonymous ftp on the
Internet as: csd4.csd.uwm.edu:/pub/Laptop/parallel.devices.

This information is in no particular order.  I am but a customer of
some of these companies.  This information is not guaranteed, and may
be outright wrong.  Use at your own risk.  Please send additions or
corrections.
