Where is the ThinkPad 500 HMM?

#1 Post by mpcook » Fri Feb 20, 2015 5:33 pm

I notice that the ThinkPad 500 is not listed on the HMM page link at the top of the forum page. Not that I still have one, but it would be fun to reminisce by reading the HMM. It was IMHO decidedly different from the 560/70 series. The first true (close to) "ultralight" from IBM I believe. When I got my hands on mine, it was love at first sight/touch.

The 500 is in the first volume of the HMM that was published May 1995. You can find a copy here:

ftp://ftp.oldskool.org/pub/IBM_PC_BBS/m ... tpvol1.pdf
ftp://john.ccac.rwth-aachen.de/pub/mirr ... tpvol1.pdf

This same HMM covers L40SX, CL57, N45SL, N51xx, P70/75, 300, 350, 510, 710T, Expansion Unit (3550), Dock Station I (3545) and Dock Station II (3546).
