I am sitting @ home, so please forgive my vagueness......

In my office, I saw an Ad in PC Mag. for external hard
drives that plug into your parallel printer port. They 
allow printer data to pass thru, like a hardware key or
keypad.


I have a laptop with *NO* capacity for hard drive. This
may be an ideal solution. Anyone have *ANY* info on 
this subject.
