Quick answer:
I picked a random Swapmeet PCM drive (160MBy) and
the 730T recognized it right away. I formatted and
loaded it in a friends Modern Laptop. There is a
BIOS Set-Up for the 730T. Just depress <<the>> penswitch
on the frame for 5Sec while booting. BIOS and selftest
there are all icon based. 730T is >5years old and officially
de-supported by the manufacturer so it ?is? on-Topic.
