<< Received some fun free things today. I got an IBM Convertible that works
 but appears to have no ports for things like printers, serial, etc. What
 info can anyone give me about this machine and does anyone have the
 expansion chassis that apparently plugs on the back? >>

I also have a pc convertible. pretty neat little machine. it had nothing
built-in except for a modem, or at least mine does. ports were added by means
on "wedges" you plugged in at the back of the machine. I have the
serial/parallel adaptor as well as some kind of rca output video and pcjr
style video output plugs. recently i just picked up the pc convertible
printer that also attached to the back of the machine. my battery is bad, and
my ac adaptor is dodgy so i need to fix that before i can really play with
it. when everything is plugged in, the whole setup is about twice a long as
normal, certainly doesnt fit on a desk well. I have the guide to operations,
as well as extra floppy drives and a spare lcd. I can provide addtional info
if need be.
