Well I don't know about the tp-360, But I called (just in
case it might work) ans asked about whether it would work
with a tp701 and the guy said no.  I figured as much, when I
had a tp750 the drive was bigger and resided under the
keyboard.  On the tp701 the drive is much smaller and have
its own little cartridge like case that snaps in (for those
unfamiliar with the 701).  It is a good deal though!!
