Is it possible to fit an mSATA disk in a ThinkPad T60 or T61?

Only by using an adapter enclosure in your main bay or ultrabay. The mini PCI-E slots on xx10 and earlier series don't support the standard.

Which is the first ThinkPad which does support the standard?

T420, X220, T520, W520. Basically, "true" Thinkpads (this excludes the Edge and the X100/120/130/140 series) with Sandy Bridge processors.
Daily driver: X220 4291-P79 i5-2520M

In reserve: X61 T7500, X60 T2300
In pieces: X60s CS U1300 [board only], two retired but working X61Ts
