I was just given a Compaq Armada 7380DMT laptop and i wanted to

know if it was possible to connect it to a Netgear Router because it has no usb slots for

a wireless adapter.It has Win95 but i'm going to upgrade to Win98SE.

Are you asking us if your laptop has a NIC (network interface controller)? I can't see that from here

But, a quick Google search revealed to me that this is a >10 year old laptop that came standard with a 33K modem in most countries. That is not going to help you. It also has 2 PCMCIA slots and (wireless) NIC adapters for it do exist. In case you have one, hooking up with any router or switch or whatever is no problem with Win98.

In case you don't have, this is a win98 compatible example:

Thanks for the link, also is it possible to get usb support through

parallel cables or something, and is it possible to upgrade to a CDRW

i've been searching the net but can only find info on cd-rom but no cdrw.

I know its a old classic, its in very good condition

The original specs are

4GB hard drive

Floppy Disk Drive

32 mb of ram EDO type

266 mhz Pentium ®

The max out of the machine is

4GB hard drive = Unknown

Floppy Disk Drive = Unknown

32 mb of ram EDO type =128 max memory

266 mhz Pentium ® max cpu speed (i guess not really sure).

If your laptop support Cardbus 32bit PCMCIA, you can easily added USB support by plug-in a Cardbus-> USB converter.

If so, then u can use any USB external CD/RW (or even DVD/R) with your classic laptop.

For floppy drive, there is easily added ith usb external usb floppy, too.

And HDD, with Disk Manager, you can easily use up to 137G with it (But I think it is waste). So, a 40B PATA 2.5" HDD should be more suitable for your case.

And RAM... Err... No comment (Since I have no info with it).

Does anybody know how to accees the bios on this machine. I been searching the net for ours and can't find a solution
