The page from the twbook I emailed has IBM part numbers for various things at the bottom.

Here are some links to information I found doing a quick google search:

There are even some eBay listings:

I never heard of a 730 until today. It looks like it would be an interesting machine to play with.

Good luck.

These things are really cool (wish I had one), but they are more difficult to find now. When I lived in Chicago, I'd periodically go down to Bloomington where there was a used computer store (Computer Renaisance sp). Anyway, Bloomington is where the HQ of State Farm Insurance is located and they are a longtime IBM customer. They had a special TP (I think 730t) that came fitted in a special case with a dock, and a Kodak Diconics Printer in it. The store down in Bloomington would get all kind of ThinkPad stuff from State Farm. I just wish I wasn't so poor in those days!

For a ThinkPad 600 series, as with any 440BX based laptop, I'd say any hard drive up to but not above 100gb or 120gb should work without extra steps such as overlay software. I currently have a 40gb Toshiba hard drive in my ThinkPad 600E and it works great. Before that I had a 20gb Fujitsu drive that also worked great.

I have a 730TE and I love it. It lives in a hardsided case (Either Sampsonite or American Tourist; I forget which) and has a printer in it with it. It can use my Panasonic PCMCIA CDROM/CD player combo unit; and I also have a big dock for it that lets it sit up and be like an easel (although this was designed for PenPoint OS so it holds it lengthwise while for WIN95 you hold it the other way; so this is useless). I use it for freehand drawings with the pen which I later "ink" on my PC. 3 PCMCIA cardslots; two of which you need to eat with the type III HDD. Or I THINK you could put it in the other one but that would lock out the ability to put in a desperately-needed DRAM card to upgrade the memory from 8MB. I have a bad DRAM card, which stinks because it's so fast with 16 MB. I don't know the upward limit but I think it's relatively a lot for a 486; something like 40 I think. Certain cards give memory errors. It's not like DRAM cards are hot these days, though.
The monochrome display thinks it's a 256-color display; I think it has 256 shades of grey. Handwriting recognition is... weird. Sometimes it works a charm, sometimes you could just toss it out the window. Beyond the PCMCIA slots there are no sockets on it but a docking connector so be sure to get some sort of dock, otherwise you can't use anything, including a mouse and keyboard, which you sometimes desperately need.

Hello Guys!

I also have two ThinkPads with PEN: 730TE and 710T.

On both not only PC DOS is working with PEN extensions, I also be able to start TMENU and from there WIN 3.1/WIN95 with PEN.

I finally tried successfully also Palm Connect (a special GEOS/GEOWORKS version) with PEN and handwriting recognition! The Geoworks 2.01 also works fine with PEN.

So I can start on both machines:

- PC DOS with PEN
- WIN 3.1 with PEN
- or alternatevly WIN 95 with PEN
- GEOS with PEN and HWR

Nice, isn't it?
