  • Exact modelname
  • Processor, Memory, Bus
  • Graphic chip, Display
  • Sound chip
  • PCMCIA
  • IrDA
  • External connection
  • Before actually discussing external connectors, you should know that most of the external connectors are software en- and disable via a "Super-IO" chip. The DOS programm for managing this is a program called "ps2". I enabled all hardware needed with Linux (COM1, IrDA, parallel printer port) and disabled all unsupported hardware (Winmodem). Therefore I don't need the program "tpctl". This programm to controll the hardware resources of your thinkpad is available on http://tpctl.sourceforge.net/tpctlhome.htm; but it is already available in the SuSE distribution, package 'tpctl' in series 'ap'.
  • parallel and serial port is configurable and works without problems after enabling it once with the ps2 command.
  • The builtin modem is a winmodem with DSP. Not as terrible as AC97 winmodems, and now Linux driver are available from IBM: http://oss.software.ibm.com/developer/opensource/linux/projects/mwave/
  • USB - standard PIIX4 chipset
    USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4 USB (rev 01)
    
    should work but not tested.
  • APM
  • Other storage media
