I was wondering what the best operating system would be for this machine. I'd like to run late 90s games on it but some are completely incompatible with Windows 2000 that it currently has. I was planning on putting Windows 98SE on it but there's no drivers for that os. Would Windows ME be a decent option in this case?
Although this is old, maybe you still have your Thinkpad. I have the A30P version that runs witrh Windows SE.
When it comes to Sound there is one more very interesting option. I got my hands on an IBM Dock 2877. It allows to install a PCI-card, so I upgraded the system with a Soundblaster Live card.
There are excellent guides online to set it up for Windows 98SE. Making it a great soundcard for retro gaming, since you also get a real gameport.
