yea, that's kinda generic info for hardware that came out right before the switch to 2.0
although I'm sure if it's possible you should be able to find for that specific model.
I've always liked the thinkpad line.
I'm not sure it's worth messing with, unless it just happens to be easy.
get a card anyway you'll be better off. if anything just use the built in one for your wireless mouse nano adaptor.
All I can say is be careful when trying the ide-cf way, some adaptors don't work (the one I bought of course ;b ) and not all cf cards are equal or will work.
I wonder if the pccard way works on 16bit? cuz I think thinkpads will let you use cf in pccard slot for a hdd.
