    Hi! I don't remember if I stated this here, but I have a DOS laptop at my mother's house that's in dire need of a hard drive. I have one, but when I inserted it, it didn't work. I looked at the connection, and it was different. :( I asked about it online and was told I need a caddy and how to search for one. I just tried eBay for it, and a quick search gave me a lot of hits, but a quick browse didn't give me one. How do I find it? The laptop is an NEC Versa 2000D model.

    From the manual you needed a harddrive with the following specification:
    IDE interface (built-in), 2 1/2-inch x 1-inch high (thin-height)
    System ships with the 350- or 540-MB Hard Disk Drive
    What is the specification of the hard drive that you are attempting to replace this by?

    Well....the laptop is at my mother's house, and I'm not there right now, so I can't tell you. :(
