Ultrabay Devices

#1 Post by Temetka » Mon Jan 09, 2006 10:31 pm

In a quest to own the most fully decked T23 in the world (meaning my house) I have obtained the following ultrabay devices:

1. Battery
2. Floppy
3. DVD / CD-RW
4. Zip Drive
5. Weight Saver

What am I missing besides the ubiquitous (sp?) 2nd hard drive adapter?

ThinkWiKi has lots of info- including a very helpful table of ultrabay compatibility.

See: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/UltraBay

I'm trying to get hold of a 2nd hdd adapter for a sensible price, but they're all well over 30 pounds.

I'm also trying to find the incredibly rare USB ultrabay bay, ultrabay plus device carrier, and ultrabay slim/enhanced device adapter for ultrabay2000/ultrabayplus bays.

What's a "weight saver"? Is that just a blanking panel?

Just saw your sig- T30 batteries fit in the T23? How well?
IBM Thinkpad T23 (2647-3QG): 1GHz, 512Mb RAM, 80Gb HDD, RTL8180 Cardbus WiFi.

T30 batteries fit perfectly into the T2x series, but the T2x batteries will not work in a T30. The T30 batteries just leave a cmall notch in the bottom of the T2x casing, but it certainly doesn't cause any problems. I have several T2x's (T20, T21, and 2 T23s)and they are all using T30 batteries.

It's really good for DVD-DVD recording. Glad I got mine for $16 + $10 shipping, rather than the $39 + $15 shipping they want for theirs.
