From Palmtop to. . . And if you ever print from the HP palmtop, or want to, you might find it a rather cumbersome process. There are many times when you might have the need to upload, download, backup, print or transfer large amounts of data. Having a parallel port on your palmtop makes it fast and easy.
Setup is easy, and transfer is extremely fast and straightforward.
This can be important to any palmtop owner, but it is critical when you have many megabytes of data to transfer and protect. Except for the lack of a parallel port, the HP Palmtop has always been like a DOS PC in your pocket. Yes, these drivers have already been supplied on a floppy, but it's nice to have them on a flash card for those unexpected little disasters.
