Re: Thinkpad 360C Hot Rodding




I have a bunch of these caddies.
All used but OK.
Will fit any 750 ,755, 360 machine.
NOTE: don't fit  in a 760  (well you can make them fit but....requires a lot
of plastic trimming.)
Caddy by itself $35 US   3rd party caddies are over $50 and ugly ;-}
170 Mb Disk by itself  $35 US
Disk and Caddy $59
Shipping is extra but shouldn't be much over $4

The TP bios will handle any? (up to 8.4 Gig ) HD

The AMD is pin compatible with the i486SX .The Clock multiplier pins need to
be set correctly though.
How is you surface mount soldering skill  (grin)
AMD has /had a booklet describing what changes needed to be made to migrate
an existing design to to
AMD DX-4
