BACKPACK PRODUCTS

       In a recent PC-Magazine I have seen an ad for a CD-ROM drive
       that plugs into the parallel port of your computer.
       Admazing enought I called the company and asked for some
       information about their products.  A fax was sent to my
       attention within an hour with a brief description of each
       product they sell and the price.  I will admit if you
       haven't heard of this company or seen some of their neat and
       really great products please do so.

       The backpack CD-Rom drive is a speedy little CD-Rom drive
       with a bunch of surprises.  I haven't ordered one of these
       units but I'm thinking about if for my bulletin board.  In
       the price range of $499.00 its not overpriced by a long
       shot.

       They have other products such as hard disk drives, floppy
       drives, and tape drives.

       I'll tell you that if your looking to add a device to your
       computer and you want to do it quickly then this is really
       the way to go.  As you probably already know many other
       companies are coming out with tape drives that plug into the
       parallel port.  Colorado Memory Systems is one to mention.

       You can contact Microsolutions at 815-756-3411 and ask them
       for more information.
