Easter Egg

#1 Post by noetus » Tue Feb 21, 2006 1:55 am

I once read about an Easter Egg hidden in the T43 BIOS. Had something to do with Lenovo's acquisition of IBM PC division. Anyone know about this?

Most likely a joke :lol:

Are there any hints in how you would go about accessing it?

The T43 was still built primarily under IBM; as far as I know, the Z Series was the first Lenovo managed Thinkpad.

I kinda doubt it. From what I understand IBM doesn't even write the entire BIOS. It's a custom branded version from Phoenix.

Most don't write their own, it's time consuming to write/mantain, and has no true advantage.

Just like "thinkvantage fingerprint" software.
