Anyone have one of these sets (2 or 4 CDs) for the old IBM Thinkpad?


I think you might have more luck if you search for Thinkpad T20
drivers.

I'll check my office collection on Monday and see if I have anything.

Nothing on the Lenovo site:

Found on eBay:

It shows XP, not W2K. Not sure if it will work, but the vendor offers
60 days money back.

Close, but not quite.

$20 for the original CD's. However, it's for NT4 workstation.

You might try asking in this forum on T2x/T3x machines:

Hi Jeff,

Thanks, that thinkwiki looks like a good resource! My searches didn't
turn those pages up, most likely (as you say) I was using the model
number 2647-44U and not the type T20. I didn't realize how much of a
difference that would make as I figured the model number would be the
better term.

The 2nd Ebay CDs are for the W2K (looking at the CDs shown), however as
you say the docs appear to be for WinNT - don't think that matters much.

I'll see what the -44U differences are and update the Wiki (if I have
time) to help future searches.
