I have an IBM 5538 which was an IBM Japan only Desktop with an LCD screen. Details can be found at
http://homepage3.nifty.com/sandy55/5538/5538.htm
The machine will support a second HDD but requires a special caddy, details of which are on the web-page.
Can anyone help me get one of these caddies?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Re: HDD caddy for Japan only IBM 5538
Please can one of our Japanese members help me.
I am looking for the 2nd HDD caddy to go into my PC Stream (5538-VWD).
This uses the same caddy as for the ThinkPad models such as M23V, C23V and TP550/555BJ. I think that these are Japan only machines.
The reference says that "the caddy is almost the same with one used for TP720/TP720C but the location of key holes beside the connector are little bit different". I have tried a 720C caddy but the connector looks to be too large.
Can someone help me find a caddy out of one of the Japan only machines?
