My TP 240 is *smaller* - even though it has about 320M of RAM ;)

It's bootable on a 600-series.  However, you still need a DOS partition
(with or without DOS) for hibernation.  Useful on old Thinkpads with dodgy
batteries.

BTW - used to have a 760XD.  Nice machine, except for the crappy old
UNSUPPORTED modem and sound card.  May it rest in peace. :)
