was T42p ever available with 1024x768 display?

was T42p ever shipped with 1024x768 display from the factory?

or did all T42p's come with SVGA or higher?

All the preconfigured models had SXGA+ for 14", UXGA for 15".

However, it is possible that some special corporate orders were manufactured, with XGA (1024x768).

A machine with a custom screen would have the -CTO suffix (i.e. 2374-CTO, possibly). I looked up the CTO machines and 2373-CTO is a T40, 2374-CTO is a T40, 2378-CTO is a T42, and 2379-CTO is a T42.

A CTO system could have anything, i.e. ATI FireGL graphics and XGA LCD, but according to the parts lookup (page 212) a CTO system with ATI M10 GL-128 it would have been labeled T42, not T42p.

I have been looking at the repair manual and the -CTO machine had some wild-[censored] crazy stuff, like fake batteries, 20 GB disks, 128MB ram sticks, gigE on a T40, NO TOUCH PAD, and all sorts of other unusual parts :

Incidentally, I don't remember where I saw it but a huge number of T42's were sold with SXGA+ screens, it was more popular than the XGA screen overall, I believe.

Where *exactly* have you looked this info up?
