Disks for 75x's

[george@cs.nps.navy.mil (Robert George)]

I've gotten a lot of questions about the Sigma Data hard drives, so I'm
posting the information to the mailing list: 

Sigma Data is at least one of the OEM manufacturers of the hard drives
shipping in the 355, 360, and 75x series.  Therefore these drives have
the exact same specifications as the original IBM drives.  IBM fully
supports these drives, including maintaining them under the terms of the
ThinkPad warranty.

Since they are the OEM manufacturer, the drives come in the same case,
same connector, etc.  The only difference is that there is a Sigma Data
label on the case...

Here are the part numbers:
