I wonder if active HD protection would work with that...IBM says they use specially modified firmware so probably not :'-(

Finally, we have some better drives for notebook
I say its about time...
The two areas in the notebook, where the advancements are slow and far between are batteries and harddrives.
I have a 6-year old Thinkpad 380XD whose battery life is pretty much (1 hour) in the ballpark of the basic laptop of today....
I wonder how long before IBM picks up this... Or the question should *if* they would pick these up.
Does IBM use only Hitachi TravelStar HDDs or they have used Seagates before?

I was having a nightmare about the 20MB (yes MB seagate drive my Commodore Amiga 1200 came with, it must have been the worst hard disk ever made...
That was hmmm 1992. (the A600/1200 took 2.5" ATA drives and supported a stonking PIO mode 2 )
