Sounds like you have Dock model I or II, most likely II, that's the big one.
An inexpensive scsi cdrom (half height) will pop right in and give you what
you need. The docks have the scsi cable and power connector built right in.
Diagrams and specs are found on IBM's website.
It's not hard to get the drive installed and setup for the system to
recognize. I've worked on several and the results are great for almost no
dollars. The Scsi cd-roms are readily available for between $15 and $25, and
that's all you need to get things running.

Subject: PCMCIA CD-ROM for 760C
We have a 760C at work that sits on top of a GIGANTIC (prehistoric?
:-) docking port. It's only function in life is to run FedEx and UPS
shipping software (I cry evey time I walk by). We need to install
some updated software, but there's no CD drive in the system. Any
suggestions on a cheap, low-performance, PCMCIA drive for the system?
I figure a PCMCIA drive would be good, then we can use it on other
laptops we have. The 760C is running WIn95.
Thanks!
Bob
