[SunRescue] A new laptop for Reagen...

>>See, now I want to check my HP Omnibook to see which it is.  It's a
>>P166MMX with the 512K cache.  I want to know if it has SCSI =)

The ad said a Panasonic SCSI drive and those often came with PCMCIA SCSI
cards so there's probably not an actual port in the notebook.  That's rare
and often on "odd" models - for instance my TI Travelmate 4000M has SCSI
built in - AHA1510 but hey it's SCSI.

I've played with the 4X PCMCIA Panasonic SCSI on an IBM TP before and it was
_very_ solid.  It even had the ability to fully run off of AA batteries for
quite some time.  Since the notebook was old I even put Velcro on the bottom
of the drive and stuck it to the back of the screen.  I had to close the
notebook a little to change CDs but it worked like a charm!

BTW - The PCMCIA is a TRUE SCSI card.  I had a DAT drive and a 7 CD changer
(NEC) hooked to it at one time and all worked as expected.  The card even
worked in NT.
Working in 'nix...well I didn't get to try that at the time.
