A friend has to replace the 3.5" disk drive on her T1000.  It
would seem that, in addition to sending it back to Toshiba, there
is also the option of pulling out the old drive, fitting whatever
hardware (I mean mounting brackets, faceplate, etc.) is specific
to the T1000 onto an OEM 3.5" drive, and putting in the OEM drive.
I assume this ould save money because 3.5" drives are avilable for
only several tens of de  dollars.  Has anyone done this, or does
anyone have suggestions?
