A single-port PCMCIA board, the ExpressPort ($249) provides connectivity for mobile and desktop peripherals via its bidirectional EPP (enhanced parallel port). The DOS- and Windows-compatible board plugs into a PCMCIA Type II socket for connection to such devices as portable drives, CD-ROM drives, tape backup units, high-speed EPP printers, and data acquisition products. From FarPoint Communications (Lancaster, CA), the ExpressPort includes a client software driver for automatic setup with socket services and a hot-swapping capability that lets you insert or remove the board while your system is running.
