Okay, point taken... so devil's advocate, let's say it *has* to be an =
UltraBay hard drive...

Any pointers or suggestions on where to look, or is the bottom line that =
it's all tightly bound with the BIOS and there's some proprietary =
interface that only IBM and Microsoft know about to get hot-swapping =
working flawlessly?

At this point, I guess it's more of a desirement than a requirement, but =
a pretty big desirement all the same.

Thanks.
