Yet another advantage of the PC-Convertible is that if you get the right
external hard drive (somebody's "quick Brick", advertised in Computer
Shopper) it will run off the computer's expansion slot with regular
hard-drive R/W speeds.  Mine seems faster than the Seagate on my 9MHz
AT, in fact.  Drives hooking to the parallel port have to operate at
the port's speed--96K?
