| 572094 | 2007-07-24 10:21:00 | Serial and parallel are not that common anymore... my 12 month old Acer has neither... | zcc (50) | ||
| 572095 | 2007-07-24 21:03:00 | as zcc said i am looking for a new laptop for work and the ones with the specs i need do not have 9 pin serial ports which i must have, but most of the ones that will do the job have expansion slots and i was hoping that i could put one into a expansion slot. |
