Between $199.99 - $900.00 depending on system and interface. A parallel burner is about $300.00-$500.00. Go to www.cdw.com or www.tigerdirect.com to find them.

Simple solution

1.Most laptops have a SPP (Standard Parallel Port) but If your laptop has an EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) buy a

Phillips 3610 http://www.philips.com/

2. If you have a PCMCIA port, buy a

ADDONICS 6206 http://www.acerperipherals.com/ps_storage/ps_st_6206a.htm

Both of them require WIN 95.
