Be carefull of the Compaq IPac Legacy Free

[DougP]

I just got one for a customer.<br>
The FREE means free from anything!!!!<br>
NO CD-ROM, No Floppy, no Serial Ports, no Parallel port.<br>
<br>
Just 5 USB ports and Network adapter and a Video Port<br>
<br>
No slots either.<br>
If you want a modem you have to get and external USB type.<br>
Cause there is no slot to put it in, or Serial port for a normal (read old style) one.<br>
Want a Printer, get a USB one.<br>
The keyboard and mouse are supplied. And you guessed it, USB devices.<br>
Man what a shock!!!!<br>
So I have to send it back.<br>
I need do install software and on eSerial port to run a scale.<br>
Oh there is a Drive Expansion slot, no drives in though.<br>
You can purchase a Floppy and or CD-ROM but you can use only one at a time.<br>
And you have to shut the machine off to swap them.<br>
