     We use portable HD, which connects to LPT and use power from keyboard
connector. They size are 1Gb. We can by, for example, 2GB pHD, but they too
expensive.

     Speed of this device limited only by speed of LPT, which for EPP/ECP,
AFAIR, no less than 500Kb/s (I detect 800Kb/s). So 1GB can be filled on new
computers les than half hour.

P.S. Anyone hear about devices for USB?
