T30 ultrabay?

[winslow]

Are the devicess from the T-20 series ultrabay compatable with the T-30 series?

Here's a good resource:

Short answer: Yes. The T2x systems have an Ultrabay 2000. The T30 has an Ultrabay Plus. The "Compatibility Matrix" will show that the Ultrabay 2000 devices will work in the Ultrabay Plus.

My wife's T30 has a DVDROM that fits in the T22 I am rebuilding. I just used it to install XP yesterday

Unless, of course, her machine was shipped with an Ultrabay 2000 DVD.

Depending on what the device is, will the assignment change? (ultrabay 2000 or ultrabay +)

i.e. -
CD-ROM
CD-RW
DVDROM
= Ultrabay 2000

DVD/CDRW
DVD/RW
=Ultrabay +
