mark..

you best use the original OS for that 730T..

it sure will NOT support Win anything AFAIK..
well, maybe win 3.1..

way too slow..

external HDD's are great but i don't see that thinkpad supporting one..
no USB, very OLD pcmcia slot..
how do you plan to connect it..?
via the parallel port.> serial port..?

what you have there is an antique and it should be restored with its antique OS..

G thank Bill i guess ill just trash it there no need in spending money
on a port Replicator for it .

Thank

Mark

PLEASE DON'T TRASH IT!!

I'd be more than willing to take it off your hands, as would several other people in this forum.

[mark5]

No ill not trash the 730T i was being a little sarcastic there
I guess . ill set next to my TRS 100 lol.

I do how ever thank the guest who sent me a post off board
Re-garding other parts for the 730T yes please do let me know
if you would find anyething out there that could be usefull .

I guess ill go ahead and look at the the Samsung Q1 Origami
it display is only 7" and maybe the Motion LS-800 it has a 8.4 display
But no Pcmcia for my aircard lol

Shame on you....you peaked my interest so much that I just bought one off of eBay. ($20.99 shipped)

Now I just need to locate a hard drive and battery.

[BillMorrow]

battery will cost more than the 730T, for sure..
but these antique thinkpads can be fun..

no HDD..?
how about the HDD caddy..?
i'm not sure if the 730 uses the 700/720 caddy or the 750/755 caddy..
if the latter i probably have a caddy and an old working HDD..

[tfflivemb2]

Yeah, I know that the battery is going to be expensive. I might skip that, just for the pleasure of owning a 730T...even though not having a battery would practically be pointless for this type of machine.

I am researching now if a 2gb pc card hard drive that I have my eye on will work. If not, there is an original 105mb hard drive out there for about the same price as what I paid for the 730T.
