I am looking at a replacement hard drive for a 755C.  I've heard alot
about using Toshiba drives instead of IBM ones.

What is involved?  Is it a drop in replacement (I would have the caddie
from my old 540MB to use)?

Where can I get a caddie?

Does the hard drive password still work with a Toshiba drive?

Finally, someone said something about bridging or cutting pins on a
Toshiba drive to get it to work.  Is that necessary?

I haven't bought the drive yet but I know a local store that has some used
ones so I'm looking into it.

Thanks
