I have an ancient IBM-PC compat. portable.  Recently I saw an ad in _PC_WEEK_
that advertised a portable hard disk that is compatible with all PC laptop
computers.  It is connected via the serial port.  Has anyone used this hard
disk.  I imagine that it is very slow since it uses the COM port.  Does anyone
know if they make a larger size than the 20MB size, if so where I can get one?
Also does anyone have the address/phone number to Weltec digital, Inc. so I
could get more information from them instead of thier vendor BOFFIN , Ltd.
The price for the 20MB was listed at $895, is there a cheaper vendor around?
Most importantly, those of you who have the PHD how satisfied are you using it?

Please reply via e-mail.  If there is enough interest I will post a summary.
