Yes, but you'll have to make it yourself. You can make a T60/T61 hybrid that meets those requirements.
I don't think that there are any T61s that shipped in a suitable configuration, but I could be wrong.

I don't mind making it myself. I'm assuming the parts I need are, roughly speaking a T60p and a T61 motherboard.

Yes, that is a good point of departure. I also made two T61+ matching your criteria this way.Zak wrote:I don't mind making it myself. I'm assuming the parts I need are, roughly speaking a T60p and a T61 motherboard.
Here are the main information sources i mainly used for my endeavour:

motherboard it's male. Need the PC card cage from the T61."

I was wondering is there anyway to keep the modem operational with the T60 Frankenpad mod?

I always opted for two complete machines in order to interchange their respective mainboards, and which in the end resulted in two fully working usable Frankenpads. The T60 machine in a T61 chassis makes a great gift for some younger family member.Zak wrote:I don't mind making it myself.
