Please correct me if I'm >wrong. I read your letter regarding the problem that had troubled me some time. I am using TP750 with a 170MB hard disk, the P/N is 66G3767. When I bought a 540MB IBM OEM drive I discovered the pin position of the new drive differs from the old one. I dare not to push it hard into the caddy. So I returned the drive to the vendor. Do you mean it is possible to put the new drive into the old caddy even the pin position does not fit? Thank in advance for your advice. Eric
