There aren't any IBM thinkpads anymore, just ThinkPads coming from Lenovo.

Not alone IBM has closed books on OS/2, Lenovo, the new owner (of 
ThinPad) doesn't know anything about OS/2 and I'm pretty sure they don't 
want to know.

Any 40 or 41 (whether T, R, X or A) would do except for the internal 
wireless NIC and the internal  modem. Also some early 42 too if were 
produced by IBM.

Any TP coming from Lenovo is already an open question: seems what is 
classified under the same number (*42, *43. *44) can be equiped with 
different internals (wired nic, wireless nic, audio, modem). And if 
equiped with non USB 1.1 compatible USB 2.0, USB could be a problem too.

So the only money-back guarantee you can be given to is Video (through 
the SNAP driver) will work properly.
 
I'm running a T-41 which works rather well (except for the wireless nic 
and modem), but the *41 are already a year out of production,  so I'm 
not sure you can do  something with this  information.
