greetings to all butterflies (and owners): the butterfly 3rd-party hard drive discussion has been going on for a while, and i can't remember any practical solution. then this: >We are much closer to having a proprietary caddy for the 701. It is being >tooled right now and a couple of beta units have come off the line. Should >be another 4 weeks or so. > >I'm not sure if we will sell the caddy seperately, but we'll cross that >bridge when we get there. i really appreciate this, since i am daily scouring my 360MB drive for useless readme.txt's and such to delete... one (set of) question(s): is there any firm information (or a well phrased rumor) on a) the types of drives the bios will recognise, and b) if all of the current functions will work, e.g.: automatic spin down, automatic creation of the Tp 701.hib-file by bios, and c) what the energy and noise levels of hard drives in question are like: will my ears fall off, or will my battery life decrease measurably? oh, and will the outer casing part have the "look and feel" of the ibm-original? axel ....................................................................... .
