so i just found out that a chinese company started making SSD's for old thinkpads (which used odd 1.8" drives). Brings them back to life. Cant wait to get one.

link for the aforementioned
newegg has some ssd drives that are 1.8", but the ones they carry don't come in pata.
you can always just get a cf card like
this because cf uses the pata interface. it should fit in a 1.8" hole.

i heard these king spec ssd's were waaay faster than a cf card though. plus dont you have the lower writes issue?
man. i have a x41T here with a dead drive. I want to swap the drive but I want to see if I can find a good X40 which I like much more. I'd take a slower X40 and trade thsi thing.
only cuz I have a replacement internal wificard I bought for it, but turns out it only works on the X40, i dont care for the tablet and actually dont like the monitor connection, the x40 is lighter, etc, etc
if only sleep/resume worked on the x60(s) i would just buy that and call it a day. dont know of any other laptops worth a shit on openbsd.
> dont you have the lower writes issue?
yah, i think so. i think the cf is just a very inexpensive solution. just something to consider. :)

run netbsd!

what
it works!? netbsd used to be my favorite thing in the world. havent followed development in about 2 years though. if everything works for an x60 on netbsd ill go buy one tomorrow
any details?
it works on a t60, i think it should also work on an x60s.
I use suspend and resume all the time on my x60s, which rund NetBSD.
