Well...I figured a new job merited an upgrade from my puny 170MB hd to at least a 340MB. As of 1/25/94, here are the prices I got from Sigma Data on their OEM TP750 drives: 340MB - $595 540MB - $895. 810MB - Are you serious? I can't even afford the 340mb. Didn't even ask. So then I saw an ad in Processor...from U.S.A INC. The ad said: 344 H/D for Thinkpad W/Case $399 540 H/D for Thinkpad W/Case $540 I called, and asked for the current prices. I was told: 340MB W/Case - $425 540MB W/Case - $625 Skeptical....I asked for the IBM part #'s. He told me his system was down and to call him back in 20 min. I did, and got the following part #'s from him: 340MB W/Case : 60G2689 540MB W/Case : 60G2698 I asked him who made the drives... 'I have no idea.' So, I called IBM to find out what those part #'s were for: 60G2689 : Unknown to PC Direct. Same with the other one. While on the line, I got the price for the 340MB drive, part # 66G2849: $935. That should erase all doubt as to the value of the Sigma Drives.... Anyone want to call the parts center and see what they are? I have lost the #, and the part # for the cat's tounges....so a repost of them would be great. Hal
