I haven't checked when it was offered, but I imagine it would be cheaper than Vista/XP/SUSE models. If you have no intention of running any of these, why would you want to pay for them?

IBM used to sell a few ThinkPads with no hard drive at all. You might ask your salesguy if that's an option.

I'll guess that was the Y2K compliant version, or something newer that that?

If you really need PC DOS, then you can still buy it:
http://www.amazon.com/IBM-04L5567-PC-DO ... B00002SAGH
It's the latest Y2K compliant version from IBM.
But why not go with free alternatives like FreeDOS or something like that?
