"     IBM started using EIDE with the 760 series and with the 1.2 GB drives.
     On these machines you can not use the old hard disks in the standard
     bay!...Someone on this list posted that one can get the old disks in
     the Ultra Bay.  I am anxious to try this but earlier discussions with
     IBM tech's indicated that this couldn't be done.  We will see!

The someone is me, it works perfectly fine, I do it all the time (this
message is coming to you from a 760CD with two hard disks, the one in
the ultrabay is an old 170, but I have tried 170's 340's and 810's
and so far they all worked. What I had to do was to carve out the plastic
holder so that it would accomodate the stupid extra ridge.
