    There is a USB -> Parallel adaptor, not the other way around. As for the manual, google it please.

    Try looking for a pcmcia->usb, or go on ebay and buy a replacement floppy unit. Probably just as cheap and it does the exact job.

    The 4210T is very easy to disassemble and reassemble. Just be very careful with the screws. Make sure you have the right size screwdriver, and that it is correctly seated.
