IBM options site appears to promote other ThinkPads other than mine. The Thinkpad they are displaying look real close to my model. I'm also wondering if I could order a new, faster system board inside this case. What would happen if I flash my I-model notebook with an A-series BIOS image? Any suggestions or hacks? ps. I found out how to upgrade the v.90 modem into v.92 with just 1 file...free and illegal. Like you gonna stop me ;)
