Jack, Actually, I bought the 701 with the 540MB drive because I couldn't find one with the 720MB drive. My local IBM PSP rep told me about Sigma Data which makes 1.088GB drives specifically for the 701's. The drives have a three year warranty and are servicable by IBM or EasyDerv under your ThinkPad warranty. The 1GB drive is $995 (not cheap - but what are you going to do if you need the extra space?). Sigma is up in your neck of the woods; New London, Hew Hampshire (603-526-6909); if you talk to someone named Trudy tell her I said hello (very pleasent person). They have a two page FAX they can send you with all the techincal info.
