I think I'm going to buy a used IBM convertible from a netlander on the
East cost.  It looks like an ok good deal, but only if I the machine
will drive a standard printer.  The seller says that I can buy a
"converter" that will add a serial & parallel port.  My main
question is will I be able to find this converter?  And if I do find it,
will the cost make the whole deal less than ideal?  Original IBM stuff
is really high priced.

Any "convertible" comments you can E-mail would be appreciated.

Thanks
