I've had good success with the third-party caddy made by "PS Solutions". They're in Texas, phone number is (214) 783-6996. When I bought from them a couple months back, they had two variations on their caddies: one for IBM hard drives, and one for other vendors' drives. I originally got the IBM model, but the connector was a bit too thick, and the caddy did not fit properly in my (thin) 760C. (It would have fit without difficulty in a CD-ROM capable ThinkPad, though.) So, I called PS Solutions back, and they cheerfully sent me the connectors for their non-IBM model, which are much thinner, and fits perfectly. Their non-IBM model works with IBM drives, too -- you just have to jumper the IBM drive for cable-selection of master vs. slave. Other comments: the caddy is well made, out of black sheet metal. Installation is simple, and the caddy works fine in both the regular and UltraBay of my 760C. The only place I haven't tried them is in a docking station. They cost $50 each when I bought them. -- Tim Tyhurst tim@excelsior.com
