[ltp] IBM Thinkpad T42

[abonilla]

Uwe,

I think that support, webform, askibm, everywhere...!

I once called and was moved like around 10 people and they finished telling 
me to contact the same guy that made the Security Chip for encryption from 
IBM (already has a driver)

I mean, if we have some developers and people would really love having the 
info, then I think it´s worth of asking for the documentation.

As I´m no dev, I´ll at least use some of my time to see if they can give us 
the docs.

Whoever wants the fingerprint readers API and Datasheet to give it a try then 
RE me and I´ll send it...

Thanks...

- Alejandro
