-===IBM UltraPort===
+===UltraPort===
-The UltraPort is a tiny connector sitting at the top edge of the display. It was introduced by IBM with the T20 series and other models of that time, but only continued onto some models from the time of the A31p. With the T30 type models it has vanished completely again.
+First introduced in the {{T20}}, the UltraPort is a proprietary USB 1.1 port found installed in-between the display latches on the models featuring it. It was a very short-lived gimmick as it disappeared after the introduction of the {{T30}}, which was expected as the UltraPort's accessories were not as popular or useful as the UltraBay's accessories.

-==Modifying the UltraPort==
+===Linux support===
-As signal levels and protocol are the same as USB, it's possible to solder a USB connector to the UltraPort or directly connect a USB device to it (e.g. a Bluetooth stick, whose PCB fits perfectly behind the Thinkpad's LCD).
+The UltraPort is automatically detected and utilized by the kernel's USB subsystem. See the accessories' own pages for more information regarding the status of their Linux support.

 The following pin layout has been discovered through measuring the UltraPort of a ThinkPad {{X21}}. It is not very well tested, but worked well for the author of this information.
