[ltp] finding thinkpads which boot from usb 2.0 disk

[Joel Ebel]

I'm not sure when the thinkpad started supporting USB 2.0, but I have a 
feeling you'll have a hard time finding older ones that will support 
both USB 2.0 and booting.  The T40, as I mentioned, didn't even do it 
right to begin with.  They only fixed it with a BIOS update.  If 
anything older doesn't get that same functionality in the BIOS you 
really don't want it.  The R50 should behave just like the T40 if you 
can find a used one for cheap.  Keep your eye on ebay for deals.  Like 
ebay item 6809493055.

Good luck,
Joel
