Re: [Thinkpad] [X30] Questions

I don't think there's any way to tell without trying it. The page TP X30 - Technical specifications and overview
 http://www-306.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-44129#systemdetails

says you need USB or an Ultrabay 2000 device, perhaps based on the same information that inspired this statement:

- Parallel port available via expansion device only.

Which certainly isn't consistent with the picture -- or the back of your X30, I presume. Perhaps there was a design change at some
point. Since there's a possibility that the TP-applicability specs for the T-series FDD cable with parallel-floppy adapter were
written in reliance on incorrect information that the X30 has no parallel port, I'd think it worth a shot.
