Heh, another satisfied alternate.de customer. :) 

I started stripping the bezel off the original DVD/CDRW drive that
came with the T30, but then realised that the eject button wasn't
going to align properly anyway on the DVD+RW drive I had bought, hence
the "surgery". I guess I should try and sell the original IBM DVD/CDRW
drive.

I am back in Germany on the 27th - any recommendations on a 7200 RPM,
80/120GB, 2.5" HDD that fits the T30? IBM in India quoted the
equivalent of an arm, a leg and my firstborn for it.
