Whoa there buddy, those are switched around.

For the confused (that's all of us), here is the exact ThinkPad drive bay
terminology, right down to the capitalization which has changed over time.
This is from the various TBOOKs:

UltraBay = 17mm bay in 760 series

UltraBay II = 17mm bay in 770 series

UltraslimBay = 12.5mm bay in 600 series

Ultrabay 2000 = 12.5mm bay in A/T/R series

Ultrabay Plus = Enhanced version of Ultrabay 2000 in A30/31 series

Ultrabay Slim = 9.5mm bay in T40/41/42 series

It's no wonder everyone gets the names confused! "UltraslimBay" and
"Ultrabay Slim"? That was a great naming idea, wasn't it?

-Mike
