Greetings to all.
I recently got what I consider a pretty good deal on a 760E and the
docking station and I am very happy with it so far. It is the model that
cannot do a CD, but since I knew nothing of what to look for going in, I
am fine with just having the CD in the docking station.
The HD is 1.4G and right away I would like to upgrade that so that I can
setup boot manager and OS/2, with an eye towards removing the W98 down the
road. I will be interested to see what kind of features Warp has for the
Thinkpad, as I am impressed with the W98 stuff I am seeing.
If I may jump right in and ask a question, I would like to understand the
HD upgrade paths. Do laptops share the same footprint for HDs? Is it a
fair assumption to go into a store and buy a laptop HD and expect it to
fit in a Thinkpad? I have read that there are two different heights to
deal with, but other than that, will I find it easy to get a larger,
generic style drive?
I found a 4gig for about $120, but it is described as just a laptop hard
drive, so I don't want to just buy it and get dissapointed. I would prefer
a larger drive, but around $120 or so is the limit for my wallet right
now.
Anyway, I am happy to find this list and look forward to sharing
information, as soon as I figure out what I actually have purchased :-)
Thanks a lot for any help.
Regards from Utah,
John
