<p>Uby: </p> <hr /> <div>The TP 1161-267 used to be promoted as part of the i1200 series. Is this a mistake or is it really part of that series, if so why?<br /> ----<br /> i1200 is the marketing name, 1161 is the type, 267 is the model.<br /> <br /> Tonko<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Hi there. I found a working i-Series Thinkpad:) But unfortunatelly have no caddy for this TP 1161. Since these things are really expensive (around $50!), i tried to find out what adapter you need to connect from the 2,5&quot; ide-hdd to that strange Thinkpad-slot... Can anyone give me the name of that kind of connector? It has to be a more common one i think, since a Conpaq n600e seams to have the same slot in it. I hope that it will cost less.<br /> <br /> Thanks for any help!<br /> uby</div>

<p>Uby: Confirming</p> <hr /> <div>Can anyone confirm that this solution works? Why a strip of metal (Could cardboard or some other material be used)? What size of an object is needed to make the RAM connect?<br /> <br /> Can the person who wrote it confirm it? I have done it 2x, and have a few pictures. Perhaps Ill post them on my site later today. The first time, I used a strip of metal, and the second time, I used a tightly rolled up piece of paper. The paper method turned out to be more stable, as the metal caused the door to warp a bit. --breaklog<br /> <br /> OK, I have not been able to get the pictures I took (at least not yet), but I did find someone else who did something similar, with a rolled up piece of paper this past may on thinkpads.com.

I rolled a piece of paper max 2mm and placed it in the middle of the module parallel to the slot. make it thin enough so you don't press it to hard, and make it small enough because of ventilation.</div>
