[Thinkpad] 2.5in enclosures redux

[Bill - ThinkPads dot Com]

just dropped into this thread thru guilt at not having paid attention to
the list, recently..
too busy selling the new T41p and R50p..

anyway, my 2 c. worth is to check out the apricorn ez gig offering..
at apricorn.com..

i bought two to play with and they seem to work nicely and SHOULD support
DOS..
either thru a bootable CD or floppy..

now having said that, i should gl read the fine manual, but who has time..
:-)
