Sure. You need to look for a notebook hard disk, usually called a 2.5", an IDE drive. Given the current prices, I would suggest you get a 20 GB. Here is a link to GoGoCity.com <http://www.gogocity.com/>. They usually have pretty good prices and I bought 2 different drives from them and was very satisfied. Here Is a link to their IBM notebook drives: <http://www.gogocity.com//search_manufacturer.asp?dept%5Fid=211&manufacturer =IBM+%28NOTEBOOK%29&parent%5Fid=3>. You'll notice that they don't even carry anymore 20 GB drives. For Toshiba, they don't have anything but a 40 GB: <http://www.gogocity.com//search_manufacturer.asp?dept%5Fid=211&manufacturer =TOSHIBA+%28NOTEBOOK%29&parent%5Fid=3>. Many people on this list have had a good experience with OWC, although when I was shopping for a drive, they tended to be slightly more expensive than GoGoCity. Here is a link to the notebook drives sold by OWC: <http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Page.cfm?Parent=91&Title=2%2E5%22%20IDE%2 0%26%20SCSI%20for%20Laptops&Template=>. As you will see, you can get a 30 GB IBM drive from GoGoCity.com for $20 more than a 20 GB drive at OWC, but you get 33% more space. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] flamage /flay'm*j/ n.: [very common] Flaming verbiage, esp. high-noise, low-signal postings to Usenet or other electronic fora.
