Does anyone have experiences with Pocket hard Disks, ie. the ones
you plug into the parallel port? I am interested in the following:

- Obviously you need a special driver. Can you install the driver and
  put it into config.sys, even if the disk is not plugged in? Or do I
  have to find a special reboot that can select between different
  config.sys files?

- Do they work with DRDOS 6.0

- More: Do they work with Superstore ?

- Any problem running a printer through the HD (is rumored to be possible).
  Do the printers slow down a lot?

- The one I have seen advertised today has batteries, does it switch off
  the motor when not in use? Even if using mains-power or only when on
  batteries?
