Unfortunately, on my TI 4000E laptop, PCMCIA wasn't an option. It was
available at the time, TI was too stupid to add it. And not too long
ago, my floppy drive stopped working...

And the "C" key on the keyboard is worn out. Anyone ever realize how
often "C" gets used in DOS? After this, I did.

I can hook up a network adapter I bought for it and that allows an
external keyboard - but it isn't quite so portable after this...

Not a big deal as the battery died within months of acquiring it
(used). Ever notice how expensive laptop batteries are?
