Dan,

What little I do know about USB I'm glad to share.  On the P233 laptop you'll
have USB 1.1.  On the PIII you may have USB 2.0.  I say may because you'll
also need Win XP since earlier OS's don't support USB 2.0.  USB 2.0 is
relatively new, at least in terms of off the shelf systems.  It's a standard
that accommodates a faster transfer speed than USB 1.1 but is also backward
compatible to USB 1.1.

HTH,
