Okay that went well! ;-) At least does anybody have a part number or a model number for one? -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - Centrino Duo 1.83G - 2GB - Windows XP SP3 |

Much thanks! Although the first link is just a blank that just plugs up the modular bay slot. Although I probably should get one of those someday to add to my collection. ;-) Currently I have three M465e and besides the optical drives that fit into the modular bay, I have a second battery (makes swapping of the main battery easy while the laptop is running) and a floppy drive. Besides the blank, I am only missing the second hard drive modular bay carrier. I saw one once on the Internet for sale and I thought no big rush as I could get one later. Although it seems like they just disappeared from the radar. :-( That second link was quite interesting, but nothing for these Gateways. Although I will contact them to see what they can come up with. ;-) -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - Centrino Duo 1.83G - 2GB - Windows XP SP3 |

Ken Whiton Thanks Ken! That looks a lot like something they modified to work in the modular bay slot. And I got email late last night from the newmodeus people. And they said they haven't seen a Gateway M465 modular bay yet and wants some pictures. And they said I might need to use some parts from one of my optical drives (optical drives are easy to find on eBay for $20-$25) to make it work with what they have. Both the optical and the floppy drives use the standard slimline CD/DVD connector. I assume the hard drive modular bay uses the same one. The only other connector inside of the bay is a heavy 5 pin connector. And the only thing I know that uses that connector is the second battery. -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - Centrino Core2 Duo 1.83G - 2GB - Windows XP SP3 |
