legacy-free PC

    0.01 sec.
legacy-free PC
A PC that does not contain earlier peripheral drives or ports. Legacy-free PCs use USB ports instead of serial and parallel ports. They do not have a floppy drive, but they do have an Ethernet port and possibly an analog modem. Should an older device need to be plugged into a legacy-free PC, there are adapters for serial and parallel ports to USB.
