Your machine has 2 PCI slots, you could buy a PCI USB card for your computer, they are not terribly expensive and you would be all set. The PCI card could also allow you to attach other USB devices, most of the printers these days are USB Regards James ___________________________________________________________ James Sedgwick mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sedgwick & Son http://homepage.mac.com/jsedgwick/ Information System Specialists and proud Canadians -- Mac Canada is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
