How many USB ports does it have?
No internal ones, you'd probably have to buy an adapter.
But Fry's sells a USB <-> RS232 adapter. That might work.
Can I boot Windows 7 on it?
The boot disk that
is with it is CP/M.
You'd have to contact Microsoft to get the right version of Windows 7 on
8" disk, or connect a DVD drive (to the USB port that is connected to the
RS232 port?)
But the video is 80 characters per line, so you'd need to get a USB hub,
in order to connect VGA video.
But, once you get it going, you could get rich by transferring files for
people!
