2405.0. "Bigger disks for CT475 ????" by GIDDAY::MARSHALL (PaulG.Marshall, Systems Consultant, SPR_CSC) Tue May 13 1997 03:33

    Does anyone know whether bigger disks are available for the HiNote
    Ultra I (CT475) than the 1.3G drive?

    Check notes 1857.* and 2283.*.  They are "Ultra" specific...as opposed
    to ultra specific...  :-)

2405.4Not a problem with a 1.4GBCHOWDA::SMITHDan SmithMon May 19 1997 11:228
	For what it is worth, for the past month I have been installing 
1.4GB drives in both HiNotes and Ultras.  I have experienced no 
problems, but I would suggest you use the latest BIOS (V1.42) to be 
sure.  By the way the internal P/N is 30-46539-01 (1.4GB 2.5" X .5").  
It is an IBM drive.

2405.5Toshiba makes one: 2.16gigabytesNQOS01::kxodial_port1.kxo.dec.com::LOVEAre we having fun yet?Thu May 22 1997 22:319
There is a 2.16g "Toshiba" harddrive that will fit into the CT475 HiNote.  
Just today six weeks of frustration, I got WINDOWS 95 up, which can be a 
problem with no CD reader or CD distribution disk.  When I got the 
distribution disk I used the old DOS interlnk and intersvr software to link a 
desktop with a CD to my laptop via the parallel ports.  Copied the whole CD to 
the harddrive.  Frank Garabo gave me the information on this drive.  Check 
this conference for author Garabo or exchange mail him.

2405.6but are they reliable?ODIXIE::SIMPSONTPC = world's biggest con job!Tue May 27 1997 16:2911
    fwiw - My new Toshiba 2.16gb hard drive worked fine for about a week... 
    I started getting hard errors in the FAT area of disk and party was
    over.  Called the dealer, UCD, and they issued an RMA, no questions. 
    Got my new drive and I can't wait to go thru that whole rebuild
    procedure again... :-(  
    
    I sure hope this was a fluke and not a general indication of their
    product quality.
