        As everyone has stated, you can browse the IBM HMMs at the web site
above. I prefer to download them, where they can be read, skimmed, and
printed at leisure myself. If you want, go to
ftp.pc.ibm.com/pub/pccbbs/mobiles and download them. The one I have
with the 560 and other models is file name tpvol3.pdf. You'll need
Acrobat's reader to view it, and it's about 7MB. The procedure looks
fairly simple (page 309). You have to remove 14 screws in the base,
flip the unit over and remove the keyboard frame (the part with the
LEDs and wrist-rest), and the drive is right there. Bill is right,
there are 12 little screws and two long ones, but the diagrams mention
which go where. Let us know how it goes!
