WTB ThinkPad Advanced dock - full size with UltraBay

I'm looking for an Advanced Dock - full size with UltraBay. The one that T61s fit onto. Obviously, it should work - the last two I bought one had a bad Ethernet port and the other likes to keep un-docking itself and has bad USB ports (all of them including the UltraBay). It needs to have the keys. P...

Re: T21 recovery (win98) problems

A 20-60GB HDD is is a better choice. You can back up your now working install and restore it to a larger HDD when you get the chance.

Re: IBM Thinkpad 760 Promotional Images

These are nice pics. Now I realize why there were "D" models. I still have my old 760LD. From the pics I can see that if you didn't get a model with a "D" after the 760x then there was NO WAY you could fit the CD / DVD tray in it because there was no notch at the top of the front of the ultrabay fro...

I have at least 1 or 2 spare HDD covers. As far as the other parts go, They are on the T1s or T22s in my collection. So you just have the HDD cover and not the lid? I'm not sure what you mean.

Acronis true image backup and restore is a better option. And you would have the backup image in case you need it again sometime in the future.

Re: WTB: thinkpad ranging from 755 to t20

T20, T21 or T22 would be your best bets. T21 & T22 are almost identical except for the processor and I prefer either of them (and I have both, bought new, way back) over the T20. They will take T30 batteries too (but not the other way around!). You can get them with Win98 SE and either make a DOS pa...

It treats the ultrabay as a USB device and will bump a drive in there to a higher letter. With all the drives I use, (HDs in the ThinkPad Ultrabey, and in the Adv Dock ultrabay, USB conn...
