It's been a few months now I'm back in DOS retrogaming (my first PC was a 486DX2 back in the days...).
I'm sure there are many old DOS games lovers in these forums.
So here is my question : what is/are the best classic Thinkpad to play DOS games natively ?
I own a few classic TP from the 90's era : 600X, 390X and 770.
So far, I've been using a lot these machines to play old DOS games. But they all have downsides :
- 600X : My favorite machine, but i can't get the sound driver working with FreeDos, and troubles with Win98 DOS mode.
- 390X : Win98 DOS mode is working great, games are running fine, but problem here is fan noise, always spinning at max speed under DOS, quite uncomfortable.
- 770 : probably the best results in terms of DOS gaming. Silent, great sound fast enough to run most games, but...No 3D acceleration, CPU a bit slow, some games like Tomb Raider 1 are slow. And screen expansion is not the best with the machine (awful scaling up)
So here are a few requirements in my opinion. What TP ... :
- Run well under DOS and is well supported with this OS (video / screen expansion, sound ok + midi, PCMCIA...) ?
- is fast enough to fluently play games from win98 era, let's say Quake2, or Motocross Madness, etc etc (Pentium 2/3 required ?)
- is silent enough to not bother gaming ?
I own Thinkpads from the 2000's era too (T30, A31P, X30,X31,X40), but all these models features sound chips not supported under DOS.
So do you have advices or experiences to share ? Do you rock the casbah at old DOS games with your Thinkpads ?

Thanks !
