Hi, Sean.

Thank you for the info!

Actually it *does* attach just like the plug-in atapi cdrom drive in the
Thinkpad's "ultrabay" ... you just take out the cdrom/floppy drive and
insert this other Zip drive in their place. So guess that's good news.

Once again, thank you for your help!

Cheers,

Manuel
