Listers I've got a chance at a great deal on an IBM 701C DX4-75 720MB HDD, port rep. and floppy included for under $500. Problem is that the system's trackpoint doesn't work and gives error code 8613 (keyboard error). Current owner has disabled the Trackpoint and attached an external mouse. Might be a good chance to upgrade my back-up system from the 510CS - wouldn't the system still be under warranty (I was told once by IBM that every 701DX4 has to be warranted until 5/98, since they weren't released until 5/95) and if not, how much would it be to fix? (Common fixes seem to be: replace keyboard, replace system board). Also, the IBM refurb site is listing the same model with dual scan for $695 at http://refurbishedpcs.financing.ibm.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce/;display/category?cgmenbr=1&cgrfnbr=1 if anyone's interested in that sort of thing. 8MB upgrade chip and 360MB drive, though. epbrown Stop by the Portable Computing Center for reviews, editorials, and the FAQ on laptop computers. http://www.enteract.com/~epbrown Laptops: IBM Thinkpad 560 and 510Cs
