Hi Butch,
First one can buy USB to parallel adapters for the printer. Next There
are USB floppy drives also available. So, The main thing is to get enough
USB ports. I am partial to HP equipment. My acer laptop also does well.
However, I know it only has two USB ports.
I hope this helps.
God bless,
Mark
Jesus Is Lord!
