Pocket Printers and Disk Drives

I think it would be really cool if you could craft a pocket computer with a portable disk drive or printer attached to it. Well, not really cool, but it would be an improvement.

And yes, that would be pretty awesome.

So what you're suggesting, is adding new portable/mini disk drives and printers? That function just like the original thing? Yeah, no. If that's not what you're saying, please give a little more detail?

I was thinking more like a phone case sort of thing, with a menu jutting out the side of the GUI with a disk slot.

being honest, I think that would make the pocket computers a little overpowered… some kind of printer could be cool I guess for certain things but a disk drive is a little too far in my opinion, and I don't really see to many uses for it… that's my personal opinion and youre entitled to disagree with what I think, but for the changes that would have to be made and stuff vastly outweigh the uses… as it is if you need to transfer a file from disk to the pocket computers, its easy to do and for that reason I don't see pocket computer disk drives becoming a thing. for the printers, the only thing I can see it being useful for is a sort of till machine thingy which can be done already with stock parts. in short I don't think it would be worth it… sorry :/
