[ltp] Thinkpad 380Z sound works in Mandrake 9.0

[linux-thinkpad@linux-thinkpad.org]

Todd, 
 
That's great. Sound is a bear with the Thinkpad 380Z CS4237 sound chip! 
 
You may want to try upgrading the MMC-1 Pentium II processor to a MMC-1 Pentium 
II 400 MHZ and add a DVD drive too. A toshiba 4X DVD SD-C2202 works well and I 
have seen them for as little as $30.00 on ebay. I used the Thinkpad 380Z 
hardware maintanance manual as my dis and re-assembly guide. 
 
Both of these upgrades are fairly cheap and easy to do. The most expensive is 
the processor, which cost me around $125.00.
