, Hello All
Uncle Frank Here. on the Issue Of the 730T How Do We Install
O/S's
I Have a 730T, I Purchased A Docking Station for this, Which allows Me To Attach
a Big Blue (IBM External 1.44 floppy). On The Docking Station you can Plug In
a PS/2 Mouse, External Monitor , External Floppy Drive, also a Printer.
I am not Writing This For Profit, Their Seems alot Of
Difficulity In
Getting The Beast Loaded With A O/S. I Bought My Docking Station From back East
a Place Called Global Monitor. Real Nice Folks. I Think The Do Auctions On Ebay.
Total Cost Of My Pre-Christmas Toy, Appx.$65.00 US. Funds
I Have Loaded Win95 on IT using Floppys. Not Much Room Left, But It Works,
Used The Early Win95 BootDisk To Get It Running, (partition & Format).
The Above Figures Does Not Include the 730T, dealer prep or
shipping.
I Hope This Helps Someone With a 730T
he who's dies with
the most Thinkpads
Wins.
