Hi again, everyone...
First off, I thank the gentleman who responded to my question about putting
a second serial port into a Panasonic by using the internal modem socket.
It wasn't a "I have blown out 3 machines trying to do the same thing" story,
but it gave me an idea of what I was talking about.
I am still open to responses about this.  Another gentleman asked me to 
forward anything I got to him (equally curious).

But, as always, I have more questions. Namely, according to computer shopper,
the CF-170 has a SIMM slot with which you can add a meg of memory.  I don't
like tearing apart laptops unless I know what I am going to find in them.
Did they do the same thing with the CF-150/Bs?  Is a 1.6 meg laptop only
$39 away?

Idle curiosity.  On another note, what experience is there with Parallel Port
Disk drives like Backpack?  This is, frankly, akin to a Moses Irrigation
System for your laptop if it works.  Can you boot off of it?  Or is it just
a data dump/retrival box?

Questions, questions everywhere, and not a user-friendly-800-tech-support-no.
to call...
