Which models are solid, and which are to be avoided? What components are trouble? Hi, Julian. My T43 is a 2687-DDU, and everything works with the exception of the WinModem (no great loss, there; I carry a Megahertz 56Kbps PCMCIA card with me in case of emergencies). See http://tinyurl.com/2tuspm for more details on this model, and as always, ThinkWiki has great information: http://tinyurl.com/3x89jy. Tips for the T43 (which I really should include in a note on the Notebook/2 site (one of these days): * If using a model with the Broadcom NIC, use a recent build (I'm using 8.53, but 10.3 is now available - I haven't played with the new one very much). * The Intel 2915ABG tri-mode Wi-Fi is fully supported by GenMAC, but you may want to update the Windows driver (in the wrapper) to the latest build. These cards suffer (on all platforms utilizing the Windows driver) from dropout and stall conditions which Intel has addressed in the more recent drivers. * SNAP works well, though check out my comments to Hakan with regard to running different resolutions between projector and display (not sure if this is possible). Mine has the ATI Mobility Radeon X300 on the Intel 915PM northbridge. I do not know how well the all-Intel models fare. * Sound works with UNIAUD, and works well. * I haven't played with the IR in the machine, but it's on my list. My assumption is that it wil work just fine. * As you may recall, with your assistance in Windsor, my USB is working beautifully. * I just tried installing the 218 build of ACPI the other evening, and had some issues with it. However, that may very well have been because it was a first attempt. Typically, I use APM, and my battery life is a little over an hour. My understanding is that ACPI should extend this somewhat, and keep the fan and HDD from spinning at full throttle while on battery. * I do not have Bluetooth in mine (nor do we have any BT drivers at this point, anyway). * Contrary to my earlier statements about the Active Protection System merely being a BIOS-level feature with a Windows monitor, ThinkWiki has some salient information: http://tinyurl.com/2vsn2z. It would be interesting to see if we could port the work from HDAPS (http://tinyurl.com/rgun5 and http://tinyurl.com/36kx92) to OS/2. Hakan has a T43p, and he may have some other things to add (the "p" is for "performance"). -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------
