I got this off eBay and it took weeks to get to me due to a mix up at UPS - the laptop was of unknown status but I just wanted the CD ROM drive really as it looked interesting.

Turns out the CD ROM drive has an in-built ESS1688 sound card, and might just be the funkiest Discman around 😀

Join me in getting this latest Thinkpad in my collection working ... https://youtu.be/r-7BKilQff8

Cheers,
