[comp.sys.laptops] Neophyte requesting help w/ NEC Multispeed peripheral feasibility

gsds@tahoma.UUCP (K.C.Babb) (01/31/90)

I recently acquired custody of a club's NEC Multispeed EL-2, and need to
know the dumb-guy level of details about what's required to hang some
peripheral storage off this thing.  I vaguely recall seeing advertisements
for portable hard disks, but what else would I need to know other than
where to plug it in?  And since it has two 3.5" drives in it but the 
other PC's I need to exchange info with have 5.25" drives, what would
be involved in attaching/configuring an external floppy?

I am a relative newcomer to MS/DOS and the like.  Smart guys and other
pedantic types please spare us all the insults.  I am much more familiar
with Apollo/Domain/Aegis/"Unix" than with this PC stuff.

Thanks in advance for any help and information.

KCB
