I have a Compaq 386 that I picked up at a hamfest for $20 (with docking station!!) I put a floppy drive and a network card in the docking station and use it to copy from 5.25->3.5 and the other way round. Supposedly it the entire docking station and perhipherals can be powered by the laptop's battery but mine was bunk (not only totally flat, wouldn't even charge) so I haven't had a chance to test that. Although I'd really hate to have the thing in my lap... it's huge and weighs a TON. Kevin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "It's you isn't it?
