My thinkpad

IBM ThinkPad 600X (2645-4EU), bought used.

Currently running: Debian.

Lenovo page

Debian Installation issues

wdm will not run in 16 bit mode.

Configuration files

Networking

I have used 4 different network pcmcia cards with this computer:

The Lucent Technologies WaveLAN that used the orinoco, orinoco_cs and hermes modules. 802.11b

Netget wireless 802.11g

And 2 different pcmcia ethernet cards.

Current issues

The old TravelStar 12 Meg dist was very noisy. I have replaced it with a WDC WD800BEVE-00UYT0, ATA DISK drive.

I has thought about putting in a solid state disk, but it was too expensive, and I was not sure how long they last etc. Hopefully this will become a good option in the near future. I would think that a 600X with a SSD could become a very cheap eepc heavy.

Still untested
