Still looking for HDD caddy connector. I found one or rather 2 sites. PCHUB but when click add to cart it says out of stock. And then this random site, I don't trust it and where it says feedback it says freeback. and if you click on it there is a lot of negative feedback. http://cmyhub.com/proinfo/IBM-Thinkpad- ... _1791.aspx
But this is the only site I can find the connector.

I did buy those aftermarket adapters from cmyhub - they did not work and almost ruined the connector on motherboard.
Due to solder inside connector on the adapter board the pins of the motherboard connector were pushed in.
I had to pull those pins back. In the end I bought another 240 with password locked bios and hdd and extracted adapter from there.
I use 16 and 32 gb msata ssd's with msata/ide adapter boards on all my 390s and 240s. I install win98se when ssd is in the 390 and save all driver packages
for all models 240,240x,390,390e,390x on the disk. Later I re-plug ssd into 240 or 390 and install the drivers.
I do not have floppy or CD-rom drive for 240 so 390 is a convenient tool. Later when usb flash driver is installed I can use usb stick for all 240 data transfers.
