A great source of pricing on all computer equipment is www.uvision.com. The Toshiba 2.1gb 12.5mm drive seems popular, and is a lot cheaper than the IBM. You can buy a notebook drive to standard IDE drive cable for something in the $10 to $25 range. You can also get a parallel port adaptor which will let you connect the notebook drive to a parallel port. Throughput will be slower, as the parallel port is slower than the IDE bus. There are also notebook drive to PCMCIA adaptors. -----Original Message----- From: Robert W.

I've more or less decided to upgrade my 701CS to a 2.1 gig hard drive presuming I can find one for a price I can afford. The problem is identifying vendors who sell the things. I would also be looking for some means of making use of the present 540 meg drive. I've flipped through the portable computing and laptop magazines and found them remarkably free of ads for laptop replacement drives. Any suggestions? Robert W. King I'm an ingenieur, NOT a bloody locomotive driver.
