The old Dock 1 has one 5-1/4" bay that's only 1" high, so there
may be limitations on what will fit. You might also need mounting
hardware; I had no luck trying to install a Fujitsu SCSI drive
in my Dock I, as I didn't have the appropriate mounting brackets, etc.
In fact, it doesn't appear to be easy to install anything in the Dock I
bay without buying additional parts from IBM. But if someone else knows
otherwise (I don't have a manual for my Dock I) I'd like to hear about it!
