I have a T30 set that should work. Best I recall and it has been years, it is what I used on my donated R40 machines. I think the only driver I needed to add was the Modem. A donation to Bills Wonderful Folly will get you a link to 6 Discs.

Go towards the end of this thread and find out.

I'll stick to that post. If ISOs available I'd be happy to get them. Probably needed once only.
Too many thinkpads not enough time!
