After talking with the IBM sales people, I got several different reports...
the first one was that the Ultraslim bay drives WOULD work, then after
pressing them, they seemed to be unsure and then finally they decided that
they would not work... if you look at the pamphlets, you see that they dont
look quite the same and there is no mention of a zip drive at all
