OK, I can't live with this 170 meg drive any more, and I still can't afford
the official IBM prices for an upgrade. There was extensive discussion ons
this group a few months back about installing 540 meg IBM drives from
Micro-Solutions in the old thinkpad drive shells. Has anyone had a bad
experience doing this? Was the offset-pin problem described by one user
ever resolved? I assume you say goodbye to your drive warranty, but
considering the price difference, you can buy 3 drives for the price of one
thinkpad version, so I'm willing to risk it. I assume that the warranty on
the rest of the computer is unaffected. I would very much appreciate an
update on peoples experiences.
Thanks,
