The thing is that with the plastic case, IBM has rigged it so that you can't use your old drive if you buy elsewhere. I recall a couple people posting they got 3rd party drives with non-IBM cases. I asked a couple of the companies named on this list and none sold the case separately. Has anyone found a source for just the case? Maybe one of you with a non-IBM case can name the manufacturer? > So can we get back to ThinkPads?

I seem to recall a similar press release a couple years ago regarding Solaris for the Intel 80x86 platform. -- John H. Kim jokim@mit.edu
