Yes it says here that the T20 has a 14.1" Hitachi LCD XGA display. The
better models use a 14.1" Hitachi LCD SXGA+ display.=20

Whats to stop me putting one of those in instead? :)

Hey there.=20

I'm considering upgrading the cpu in my T20 from a 700mhz p3 to a 1ghz
p3 with the 100mhz fsb.

It occurs to me that there shouldn't then be any reason why I cant fit a
14.1" TFT panel from a better model, one capable of 1280x1024+?

As things stand the T20 does 1024x768 and it looks like 800x600 does on
a conventional CRT monitor. Does anyone have any experience with
customising their older thinkpads or upgrading them a little
unconventionally ...?

I'd also like to just ask again regarding the mini pci cards. I found
one, but its not the Intel card IBM ships. Its designed for a dell
laptop, but I figure again, is there any reason why assuming it fits
(same number of pins) I can't use any hardware I like?

Kim.

The partitions are mounted rw.  And I can't even write to my fat32=20
partition in DOS.  I'm pretty sure it's just the drive.  IBM is sending=20
a replacement on Monday.  When I get it and successfully get everything=20
backed up, I'll play around with it more.  But I'm almost certain there=20
is just some elctrical or mechanical failure that will let me read, but=20
not write to this drive.
