I found the following q&a on IBM's talklink service. Does anyone know if
there are OEM drives for the 700/720? If so the same manufacturer may
make them for the 750. I cannot believe this particular document since
the 700/720 use ESDI drives not IDE. Perhaps an internal IBM'er can get
the name of the OEM referred to in this doc.

TITLE: 940208 240 MEG DRIVES FOR THE THINKPAD
....[2 questions deleted]
Also, there is a third-party that says they have 340 meg IDE
drives that will work with the thinkpad 700C, 720C. I know that
IBM would not support this, but have you heard of any larger
drives for the thinkpad?

As for 3rd party drives, we are not in a position to comment. It is
entirely possible for an OEM vendor to have hard drives that will work
in our systems, but, before you consider purchasing such, you need to
confirm that they have tested their product in the system you have, and
that they will support it if there is any problem.
