Old ThinkPads are beasts! Enjoy

Got the wireless card working fully under 98SE, with full WPA support after installing IE6. This pretty much let me connect it to my main router and go online. Surfing the web 2002 style 😎
Also I forgot to mention in the OP, but both machines have a 1GHz coppermine Pentium 3 and 256MB RAM. The differences are really only with the optical drive, one has a CD-ROM, the other a DVD / CD burner. One day I might drop more RAM in one and see if 512MB would boost the VRAM allocation up to 16MB, not that would help with performance (yes I know, these aren't gaming machines but I don't care 🤣 )
Since I couldn't attach these to the last post (posted on the R30 itself, imgur wouldn't load in retrozilla)
Being new in box, I got this lovely D-link catalogue showing everything they had on offer. Things I should try and track down 🤣

It's worth it if you like something to tinker with, not to mention the older keyboard 😀
Yeah, have had a few old ThinkPads... quite familiar with them
