Hello all, I only got a 2.1GB internal harddrive, it will be nice if I can add a external hd to my laptop (and it should work with FreeBSD). There are 3 possible convertors I found online. pccard -> scsi; pccard -> IDE; parallel -> scsi. I think the 3rd is not a good idea because of the poor speed of parallel port. I am interested in buying a pccard to scsi convertor and a external scsi harddrive. Have anyone done so? Any suggestion is welcome! My laptop is a Acer 392c, 2 Texas PCI cardbus controller. I know little about IDE, my harddrive and CD-ROM all use IDE controller, could this be a problem? I mean, is there IDE resource available for another HD? Thanks.
