As of 9-11 I had a gig and a half of liberated media collected from Usenet. I know because I was running out of space on my external hard drive (connected by the printer port) and the bios was limited to two gb.
It's amazing how far we have come in just, checks notes, 10 years.
You had an external hard drive on a parallel port? I've never heard of such a thing. You sure it wasn't scsi? Or maybe even centronics?
It was most definitely parallel port. It was one of those rare relics of history that hardly anyone ever owned. That laptop was not capable of scsi. The read time was horrible. The write time was worse.
I'm surprised you didn't have a series of backup tape drivers connected by SCSI lol
Oh wait, that's more like twelve year old technology
12 years ago I was the proud owner of a half a terabyte USB drive.
