[ltp] T40, memtes86, blank blue screen, Bellet's memtest86 patch

[otisg]

Hello,

Joel was right - the provided ISO acts the same way as
precomp.bin provided in the Memtest86 distribution. :(

Would anyone happen to have a version of Memtest86 that runs
properly with T40s?

I would really appreciate it if somebody could provide this.  I
can also put this up on a publically accessible web site for
others to download, if bandwidth is a concern.

I also tried using http://ultimatebootcd.com/, however,
Memtest86 included on it acts the same way as precomp.bin as
well :(

Thank you,
Otis
