I am also running XP Pro on 2 T23's One runs hotter than the other, but neither gives me shut down issues. Both have Notebook Hardware control on them, while not directly controling the fan, the speed step down to 730MHz normally keeps the fan off. I have them both set up in Dynamic Mode for both AC...

Password Protect HDD?

How does a password protected HDD act once it has been removed from the "home" machine? I picked up a couple of bare HDDs from a wrecker/salvager of IBM and Compaq machines. The original machines were long since gone, I suspect they were from IBMs because that was mainly what was being split at the ...

The housing/lcd is to small for mine, so I can never use it.
If the size was right for yours, I was going to sell it to you.
If not it will collect dust with the other stuff.

It will support 256mb. The PC133 chip from my T23 works just fine in both of my iSeries 1300. With the 64 onboard and the 256 it runs XP slow, but tolerable. 2kPro flies at that memory level.

I have found some brands of HDDs very finicky with the T22's. In the past I have loaded Linux on the HDD then Winblows will take over the HDD and load just fine. The other idea is to pick up a dock, load the floppies then let the CD take over, which I have also done. The other option is to pick up a...

Come to think of it.
I ran into the ACPI issue on my T22 on W2k, chances are that will fix one of them.
The other is the sound driver.
