== HDAPS - IBM Active Protection System Linux Driver ==
This is the Linux driver for the [[Active Protection System|IBM Active Protection System]].

=== Features ===
*prints accelerometer values
*uses userspace tool to park HD

=== Project Homepage / Availability ===
*[http://hdaps.sourceforge.net/ Project Homepage]
*The driver is included in the 2.6-mm series of kernels since August, 26th 2005.
*The driver is now in the mainline (2.6.14).

=== Status ===
A driver is included in recent Linux kernels and is actively maintained. However, presently the driver only enables reading of the acceleration data; it does '''not''' perform automatic disk head parking. The latter feature is under development. But there are already some useful applications for HDAPS, using the {{path|/sys}} interface it provides. See below.

=== Applications ===
*[http://lwn.net/Articles/154923/ disk park patch] an experimental patch for parking the disk
*[[Script for theft alarm using HDAPS]]
*[http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ecc/gyro.tar.gz OpenGL gyroscope hack] <tt>keeps your display levelled when tilting the ThinkPad</tt>
* [http://rlove.org/log/2005082401.html hdaps-gl] <tt>a "simple" example animating a 3D-ThinkPad</tt>

Ozi23: /* Special deals */

This page is dedicated to hints about buying used or new ThinkPad models. You can find notes about typical weaknesses of used ThinkPads here and other things you should care about when choosing a ThinkPad and where to buy it.

==Only some random notes so far==
*{{390X}} models with 15" display are said to have weak display cables that tend to break.
*{{A30}}, {{A30p}}, {{A31}}, {{A31p}} seem to have a mechanical design that can cause the motherboard to break. At least there are a significant number of reports of broken motherboards on these models.
==Build it yourself and save money==
Lenovo offers more flexibility than any other major manufacturer of laptop computers, at least that I know of. Their "configure-to-order" (CTO) offerings let you build the computer you want, without paying for anything you don't want. The basic CTO includes the mainboard and CPU, but no RAM, disk, mini-PCI cards, software, or other add-ons. You can even get a laptop in a CTO configuration.

I built my {{X32}} notebook with 1GB RAM, 60GB 5400RPM hard drive, USB DVD-ROM CD-RW drive, and 802.11a/b/g mini-PCI for a grand total of US$1,206, including tax and shipping.

Start with the complete list of [[https://www-03.ibm.com/lenovo/shop/personalpages/public/public/products/dsp_product_list.cfm products]]. Look for items that end with "CTO" or "Custom." Choose the chassis you want. Then add whatever [[http://www-132.ibm.com/content/home/store_IBMPublicUSA/en_US/Upgrades.html upgrades]] you need that only Lenovo offers (such as WiFi). Fill in the rest of the components from other, less expensive vendors.
