This might work for some great ipod hacks:

I have a problem with my ipod and the problem is that I installed a new bootloader for it by ipodlinux and when I turned it on after I installed it it froze at the default apple firmware and I can’t do anything with it. Can someone help me with problem?

As far as I know, only the 240 and 240X has this adapter. I’ve yet to see it on any other ThinkPads. You’ll probably get one if you buy a trashed 240 on eBay, but you may want to ask the seller before bidding — often they pull drives, caddies, adapters, RAM, and other small goodies before selling the bulk of the machine.

just for clarification - is the HD adapter specific to that Thinkpad model, or might any other Thinkpad models have had similar adapters?

also, is the adapter part of the Thinkpad’s primary internal hard drive, or is it from the more generic Ultrabay external HD caddy? (ie could I scavenge it from a Thinkpad 240 sold “for parts”?)

(can’t find the 240 part on ebay)

You can get this adapter as well
http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/mini/
and then use a 3.5″ hard drive
with 750gb drives out there, what else could be better?

Great mod and lots of useful info for podhackers - keep up the good work! I was given a 3G ipod with a dead drive and I have a 512MB CF card - any ideas how I can use the CF card in place of the 1.8 inch Toshiba hard disk. Thanks!

Even though it’d be a bit bigger than a normal iPod I’d gladly trade size for capacity. 100GB could *just* fit my music, I’d really like room for some movies so 120GB would be minimal for my use. Of course this ends up being two of the high-end 60GB iPods. I wonder if it’d be possible to get a drivedead 3G iPod, a 5v lithium polymer battery, a fairly large laptop hard drive and a cigar box to make a sort of FatPod…
