We have been using 7 of the IBM 730Ts since December of 1994.  We have 
experience 2 screen failures due to mechanical damage on our part, and have 
replaced "10" 105 meg hard drives manufactured for IBM by Integral 
Peripherals.  One pen has failed for unknown reasoning.  So far IBM has been 
outstanding in their support of our problems.  We have not incurred any 
costs due to these failure as of yet.  But let me say that the hard drive 
failures are driving me crazy.  DO NOT USE THESE HARD DRIVES!  We like the 
machines and will be buying more of them in the future.
