I finally got time to put the 15 inch QXGA (2048x1536) screen in the T60. I wussed out and used the original WinXP with the $30 Powerstrip program to write the new EDID to the display. I couldn't find enough documentation on the Linux i2c-tools to feel comfortable with risking a display on them. Maybe on the next machine.
The windoze drive is safely in storage, and a 500GB Linux drive is in the machine, working fine. I am typing this email on it. The characters look like they are out of a high resolution laser printer. Now to copy all the files from my old T30, and build another T60 QXGA machine for my wife. BTW, I name my machines after Nobel Prize winning physicists. This one is named "kao", after Charles Kuen Kao, 2009 winner "for groundbreaking achievements concerning the transmission of light in fibers for optical communication". The whole package cost approximately $750, with a used T60 from Ebay, A 500GB Seagate SATA drive (plus a spare) from Frys, and a new IdTech IAQX10N panel from BIGeSTOCK.com . An Ultrabay 2nd hard drive tray is slowly making its way from Hong Kong, apparently by sampan. Now to order more AC adapters, and a couple of port extenders.
