IBM PowerPC AIX ThinkPad

Welcome to the unofficial home page dedicated to the IBM ThinkPad computers containing the PowerPC processor! While this page is mainly concerned with ThinkPads running AIX, some of the info will pertain to other OS applications as well. If you're looking for Intel-based ThinkPad info, you've got the wrong page!

Note: these pages used to be located at http://members.home.net/tcordes/tpmain.html but have been moved here because of @Home's demise.
