RC: Charles is correct about the DVI, i.e., available used for about $100; allows access to a 5.25" drive and a B&W monitor or TV (both connections on back of unit); works pretty well; etc. My comments were based on the concept of looking forward; not backwards. True, the DVI may be all you want or need. And again, Charles's comments are good. I just see hundreds of Model 100, 102, 200 and NEC 8201 users moving to Lapdos II since it allows them to move their beloved laptops into the 1990's, where most micro-users also have or have access to a MS-DOS computer. Lapdos II allows the laptop to work in harmony with the DOS machine. It's a wise move for just $39.95 + cable. Again, Charles makes a good point that may be all you need. I simply stress a modern approach that presents wider opportunities. -Rick- PS: I also own a DIV... don't use it...
