T42 FDD-drive

#1 Post by vma2408 » Thu Jul 03, 2008 7:21 am

My Thinkpad is a T42, model 2373-6YG. Could anyone tell me if an internal FDD-drive (in the Ultrabay) is available for this machine and, if so, which model? If not, would any USB-FDD-drive work with the machine, or only certain models (and if the latter, which ones)? Haven't managed to find any definite info thus far through searching :( . Thanks.

There is nothing for the ultrabay slim. Any USB floppy is fine. There is also a parallel to ultrabay 2000 (T30, etc) adapter, but the parallel port on the back of T4x doesn't work, however if the T4x is in a dock, the dock's parallel port works with the adapter.
