While the portability of my COMPAQ-plus is wonderful, disk space
is a quantity governed by Parkinson's laws and thus I need more of it.
However, I don't want to do surgery on the machine, nor lose portability.

One patch that comes to mind is to use an EXTERNAL hard disk, communicating
through a spare parallel or serial port.  Can anyone recommend a company
that sells reliable external hard disks, reasonably priced?  Thanks.
