MicroSolutions Backpack was a line of peripheral devices introduced in 1990[1] allowing users to attach a peripheral drive, namely hard drives,[2] CD-ROM drives,[3] and DVD±RW drives,[4] to their system. When the original model was released, USB ports did not yet exist, so the drive plugged into a system's printer port.[2] Backpacks could be daisy-chained and still allow for printer usage.[2] Some models also offered audio capability via expansion. Later models introduced faster connectivity to the host system by means of a proprietary PC Card, and later USB.[4] MicroSolutions was located in DeKalb, Illinois, USA.[1]
