The OP did not mention transfer speed being a key issue and I don't
know why it would be. The system only has a 1 GB hard drive so 10
Mbps would let you copy the entire drive in either direction in about
20 minutes. I assumed he was interested in USB and/or wireless for
reasons of convenience, not speed.
Hmm, he said:
The current disk drive is 1GB, which is big enough for smaller Linux
distros like DSL or Puppy, but USB would let me do something more
interesting, but otherwise I'm probably limited to Samba file sharing
from a Windows machine over 10 Mbps wired Ethernet. Thanks!
Maybe that means he wanted USB to connect an external hard disk.
There are certainly plenty of PCMCIA 16 bit scsi adapters (Adaptec
1460 and so forth), if that helps. It may also be feasible to simply
upgrade the hard drive, or use a PCMCIA hard drive (8GB microdrive in
a CF type 2 to PCMCIA adapter, or even a large flash card).
