Re: does anyone have list price of 1.2 gig drive handy?

"There's another way to do it it.  Instead of buying a 1.2 GB Thinkpad drive,
buy a 1.2 GB bare drive and a 170 MB Thinkpad drive.  Open 170 MB case,
replace with 1.2 GB drive, sell 170 MB drive.  Does somebody with the prices
handy want to figure how much that works out to?"

that of course won't work now, because bare 1.2 gig drives are not available
in the end market. Later on that is perfectly reasonable, and others have
done this with smaller drives. Of course you are losing the guarantee, but
if you don't care about guarantees, this is a pefectly reasonable approach.
