I have a TP755CD and I've seen the enclosure and cable going for about $150 6 months ago. That's kinda steep just to use the floppy and the CDrom at the same time. If anyone can tell me a good source I'd apreciate it. << Mike, I just bought one yesterday for my 760EL from Computer Discount Warehouse for $117 plus tax. Their website is www.cdw.com. The IBM part number is 66G3618. Check out the specs at http://www.ca.pc.ibm.com/products/2d9e.html . Also, I understand from Bill Morrow (Thinkpad expert found in the Compuserve Thinkpad forum and at www.morrow.com or www.thinkpad.com) that you can use the Thinkpad external floppy from the 701/500 (IBM part #10H4056) and the external floppy cable (IBM part #25H4879) from the 701 with the 760EL. IBM could not confirm that this worked, but Bill insisted that it would. The advantage to this is the 701 floppy is smaller than the external floppy attach kit. If you try the 701 floppy setup, please let me know if it works. Pat V.
