Using the Diskette Drive Externally

When you want to place a modular battery pack in the DualBay but
also need the diskette drive, you can use the diskette drive as an
external device by connecting it to the parallel port. Contact your
Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider for
information about the option that allows you to use your diskette
drive externally.
