Or with some Ultrabay HDD adapters, or with my machine.  I got a head's up
from another T43 owner that he didn't have any problems with 40-wire/80-wire
detection on his T43, either...

I have a brown paperbag here just waiting to be used... I will poke around
the T43 in a few minutes to make sure it was not a problem between the chair
and the keyboard :-p
