Re: WWAN on X61
Hi my answer here would be a bit inappropriate, but I still want to give you an advise. Get some modern WWAN card and get rid of that outdated card. Not only you will get a better speeds and connectivity, but also you will face a lot less problems with the installation. X61 does support a wide range...

Re: X62 problems, quirks, and fixes
Hey mifritscher,
glad to have you onboard!
Could you describe this X62T, please? Does the touch-function (pen/finger) work as intended?
I suppose there's no point in building X62T only for the chassis.
Thanks!

Hi!
I know I'm a waaay too late on this topic, but still want to give it a try.
I'm looking for a X41 SXGA bios. Do someone happen to have it?
Tried to find it on my own, but no luck.
Would love to have a X41 with SXGA panel.
Thanks!
