the 755 series does not SUPPORT a second HDD in the floppy bay (the 755CX has
no internal CD capability)
you CAN add a second, external HDD of most any type to the PCMCIA port or the
parallel port..
if i were doing it, i would add a thinkpad type drive to the PCMCIA slot..
then i can swap it into or out of the 755 machine..
NOTE: i have heard of ONE PERSON who sdaid he had a 2nd HDD running in the
floppy port, but i think it was on a 755CD but i don't recall exactly..
he also said it was not entirely reliable in reading and writing correctly..
