Does anyone out here in netland know of a device that would let me connect
my laptop (with no expansion slots, but with a parallel port) to the SCSI
chain on my '486 so that I can treat the 120mb drive on the laptop as a
disk drive on the '486?

What I want to accomplish is being able to backup the laptop drive to the
tape system on my '486.  It would also be useful for installing software
from the CD ROM drive on the '486 onto the laptop.  

Any information would be appreciated.
