I confirmed with IBM Direct that the hard disk cartridges for the 760 are incompatible with the 755 :-(. It's probably too early for anyone to know if it's possible to replace the drive inside the 760 cartridge the way it's possible with the 755 (I mean using an OEM drive), but this seems like a question worth keeping in mind, and if anyone does find out the answer please notify the list. PS, some pricing info: before the announcement, some mail order place (I forget which) was quoting the following for Oct. delivery: Model TFT size disk price $ 760C 12.1" 720MB 6329 760C 10.4" 720 5649 760CD 12.1" 1.2GB 7719 Yesterday, IBM Direct quoted me the following: 760C 12.1" 720 6049 760CD 12.1" 1.2G 7449 760C 10.4" 720 not available yet The similar price ratios for the 12.1" models suggests that the 10.4" 760C will be around $5427 from IBM Direct (found using the ratios for the sums of prices of the other 2 models). Since mail order discount tends to beat IBM Direct by 5% or so, this suggests a street price of around $5156 for 760 8/720 with 10.4" svga, compared to the current price of around $5K for a 755CX/810 with a similar screen. This is quite attractive since the 760 sounds like a nicer machine all around. The one scary thing is the prospect of getting clobbered for disk and memory upgrades (the latter at least til an aftermarket develops).
