Greetings! This is my first post to the digest. Here is my problem. I
would appreciate your advice.
I have a TP720C. Even though it is becoming something of a dinosaur, it
runs Win 3.11 very well and the active matrix screen is still great, though
smaller than what's out there now.
My machine can with the 160 meg HD. I recently picked up a used 240 HD at a
very cheap price. It doesn't seem to be a simple plug in swap.
I visited the IBM tech site and noted that there is a special up-graded
system board for a 720C with the 240 HD. I am wondering if anyone knows
what is involved in making this swap? Do I need to located a used system
board? Or, do I have to replace a bios chip or something like that? Does
anyone know where the necessary used parts might be located.
Thanks in advance for your help, Wayne Wright
