I will be running a USB mouse, a foldup USB keyboard and a USB external HD + room to plug in a scanner or printer as needed. I might even wind up with a USB external CD-RW drive if I can't get the no-name PMCIA card CD-ROM drive I already have to work in the new L110. The Win95 setup in the L70 could never find this device and I never figured out what brand it is to download the drivers for it. Any suggestions on how to get an unknown CD-ROM drive to work in an L110 anybody?
