When I woke up today, a pre-2003 ThinkPad was sitting on top of my acer aspire, and I thought it was my A20p. But it wasn't... It was a T23! My dad suprised me with this and found it in the trash of all places, and he wanted me to crack the password on it. It turned out there was no password so I'm keeping it for sentimental value. Before my dad found it, the last time it was powered on was January 4, 2007. That's probably why it's in perfect condition.

I never THOUGHT you would get this. I have an IBM ThinkPad R40, manufactured in November 2004, shortly before the R41 was released. My grandma held on to the R40 from 2011 to last week and I just got it back in exchange for an Gateway NV Series. An IBM ThinkPad T23 is basically an equivalent to a Dell Latitude D500. I once had a D520 and knew I would get my good old R40 back.

It's not *the* Device Manager, per se, but you can go into the NT4 Control Panel and bring up the "Devices" option to see a list of all the hardware installed on the machine. I don't really remember how conclusive it is since I haven't played with NT4 on a physical machine in years, but it seemed to work well when I was playing with it in VMware not too long ago.

Xodium commented on 18 Jan 2013

In your opinion, do you think reallocated sectors are something to worry about? I have a 500GB Western Digital that has 41 reallocated sectors, and I zeroed out the drive and it seems to be okay besides S.M.A.R.T whining about it. Not really using it for anything mission critical, either.

METECH101 commented on 19 Jan 2013

yeah 380Z was the last model, has faster processer , Had a resolution of 1080x 756 while 380xd is 800 x600 is slower.integration of higher-quality speakers with the addition of an internal sub-woofer, and its own port replicator that would only work with the 380Z.

Kevin Bhasi commented on 19 Jan 2013

14:37 There are multiple panels in Control Panel for managing hardware devices. There is also an AUTO LOGON REGISTRY HACK that logs you on automatically, is enabled by default in NT4 Embedded, and when you log off it logs you back on straight away.

PASSPORT.MID actually goes all the way back to Windows 3.0 with Multimedia Extensions. It was written by George Stone of Passport Designs, the same guy who wrote "Trip Through the Grand Canyon" (CANYON.MID).

lmull3 commented on 08 Aug 2013

IBM is not the only issuer. Lenovo issues the newer ThinkPads since that's who IBM sold their PC division to, and that is what i was referring to when i say variant; IBM version vs Lenovo version.

Dell0304 commented on 18 Jan 2013

This is very identical to my T21, just a bit newer. I still need to reformat my T21 because at some point Windows XP derped itself.... Anyway, this should do exactly what you want to do with it.

adobewanjerkobi commented on 18 Jan 2013

Been a while dude, last I watched you on YT, you were putting out a steady stream of macintosh videos. :) Would love to do a video on my Thinkpad 380D but the motherboard is beyond deceased. :(

mareschael commented on 10 Dec 2014

I just found one, sitting outside, in the rain, with the power cord! I'm drying it out for a few days to see if it works! Nice to find a video on here to see what I may, or may not have.

FrankTheCat commented on 18 Jan 2013

if the count goes up anymore, be worried. I have a 500GB Seagate ES.2 with 200 reallocated sectors. I'm not worried though; they haven't budged in the year I've used it for P2P file storage.

Roadgeek commented on 25 Mar 2013

Again, thank you for selling this fine machine. Great to finally own a ThinkPad! I'm also writing this comment from this ThinkPad T23 running Windows 98! Great video as always! :-)

rmx77 commented on 18 Jan 2013

i hate nt cause of the 4gb limitation of the hard drive size partition. i like to be able to use the whole hard drive rather then a partitioned hard drive

liz kennedy commented on 03 Jun 2012

I enjoyed the video on removing the hard drive for a T23 I have a X24 is it the same type of hard drive ........does it have ratchet type teeth or a clean edge liz

Nancy Schramm commented on 09 Jul 2013

Thanks so much...........you saved me the $70.00 a shop was going to charge to take out the hard drive.

EvendimataE commented on 02 Sep 2013

wow I thought the hd is under the keyboard like other ibm models..im glad I saw your video :)

IBM Thinkpad T23 Running Windows 98

PearlJammer07 commented on 29 Jan 2013

For old DOS games I use DOS box and games bought of Steam or GOG. Modern computers are the way to go to play most older computer games so i agree with you. Would be cool to see Warcraft 1 & 2 put up for download. I would love to play those games again. Playing these classic computer games really take you back to the 90's for sure.

vwestlife commented on 30 Jan 2013

Epic Pinball isn't using MIDI... it is using digitized samples to create the music, the same way that an Amiga .MOD file works. The Crystal sound chip should have Sound Blaster Pro compatibility. Try setting the BLASTER enivornment variable as if it was an SB Pro: SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4

ArneL Fernandez commented on 19 Sep 2013

can you help me ! IBMThinkPadR51 how to translate japanese to english because my IMB Thinkpad is Japanese made and i dont understand to translate to setting english ! please help me BMThinkPadR51 ! As soon as posible ! :D good day

compdude512 commented on 29 Jan 2013

I lol'd at the Clippy rant. I hated that God-forsaken paper clip! Good thing Microsoft nixed him in later versions. I'm sure that elimination alone probably caused Office 2003 sales to go through the roof. lol

IamFat32 commented on 29 Jan 2013

epic pinball is probably choppy because its running under windows 98, it was designed to run on DOS. However it runs fine under Windows 95 on my 300MHz AMD K6 Socket 7 machine.

the0real0realitykid commented on 30 Jan 2013

I have Windows 98 SE in Virtual Box. Even installed the unofficial service pack for it. Works pretty well. lol Mainly just toying with it though.

bamdadkhan commented on 29 Jan 2013

btw, why don't you try running dos games in real dos? i remember having lots of problems when i ran them from windows back in the day..

Jack Stavris commented on 30 Jan 2013

OK Thank you. I've never known what it what it was called. I wanted it for my R51 when it was working, and now I want it for my T60.

bamdadkhan commented on 29 Jan 2013

why do you need a floppy drive to boot os/2? i can install the 'client' verision with a cd just fine. want the .iso? :)

lmull3 commented on 30 Jan 2013

Lenovo's website. it had the power management utilities and drivers on there. battery miser i think it was.

lmull3 commented on 30 Jan 2013

NT 4.0 is a pain in the ass, a lot of shit just didn't work properly on that laptop with NT 4 installed

Jack Stavris commented on 30 Jan 2013

Nothing works on NT 4 properly anyway, except some Microsoft software. NT 4 is just shit in general.

Jack Stavris commented on 29 Jan 2013

Where did you get the battery meter for the taskbar? I want it but I've never been able to find it.

MrMaguire commented on 30 Jan 2013

Kinda wanted to see more of Windows NT 4.0. I don't have much knowledge of old versions of Windows.

wapted cpubuilder commented on 12 Apr 2013

I have a Dell laptop from the same time [ a custom built monster of a laptop] its not that big [15'6 screen] , it ha a 3.1 GHZ processor and 3GB ram. Its a has a 40gb hard drive, that would of been a huge drive at the time. it still works today, but i am not running the original windows 98 on it, i am running windows 7 ,and it runs well. Its original price as much as i can find out was between £3000- £4000 , the highest spec at the time, and for a laptop! weight... :5.6KG!!!!

Mr. Eight-Three-One commented on 21 Mar 2013

Cool stuff there. I have a TP 600e (A Pentium II 200 MHz) but its hard drive went out fairly recently and I haven't been able to use it since. Not that it really matters because I hate that machine anyway. 1.3 GHz Pentium III? Holy crap...that IS a gaming computer. I want to find one a desktop version of those sometime...

tonytigeer commented on 21 Mar 2013

Welcome to the club buddy its about time. My first Think Pad was the t40 and it served me very well in college. I personally believe there are no present day laptops that could compare to the reliability, durability and Model M feel keyboard of the late IBM Think Pads

Headset Guy commented on 21 Mar 2013

I once saw an IBM ThinkPad at my local resale shop for relatively cheap... but I didn't buy it because A) it didn't come with the AC adapter, and B) I couldn't find the power switch/button/whatever. I am kicking myself right now for that.

ps123fan commented on 20 Mar 2013

seems like a good laptop! wish i could have one of these, but back here in scandinavia these things are such a rare find! i myself was using a pentium II, all the way up until march of 2010! i think mine was a 500 mhz machine.

Gatewayuser200 commented on 19 Jul 2013

:O I have that same thinkpad. When I took that thing apart it blew my mind as to how complicated it was. I'm used to working on Dell Latitude C series laptops which is the only thing I really like from Dell.

Florian amRechner commented on 21 Mar 2013

I had a MaxDATA Pro 650X with a 700MHz Pentium 3 and a DVD-ROM. It was made for windows 98. Too bad that the DVD drive broke and the laptop itself fell apart because of the briddle (sp?) plastic XP

Dell0304 commented on 21 Mar 2013

I'm surprised he sold it...I thought he was gonna use it as sort of a vintage laptop or something. I have a T21. Good old laptop. ThinkPads are tough.

reiss1100 commented on 22 Mar 2013

Right now im using my IBM Thinkpad T21 My first laptop they really do stand the test of time the old thinkpads

Roadgeek commented on 21 Mar 2013

It actually has a DVD-ROM which was fancy for a laptop in those days.

Jack Stavris commented on 21 Mar 2013

Welcome to the ThinkPad club. Obviously you can tell I like them lol.

Jack Stavris commented on 21 Mar 2013

They never made a 500 MHz Pentium II. Maybe it was a Pentium III.

TheCanadianToast commented on 22 Mar 2013

Congrats Billy! Welcome to the thinkpad club lol. :P

IBM ThinkPad T23 Overview

Nice looking laptop there, for something portable it sure does the job well. You know, I'm too little too late to say this, but... it turns out the claims about Living Books being taken down were bogus. Scholastic apparently never owned the games at any point in time -- what you actually have to worry about is if the companies who own the licenses are willing to take them down (the Dr. Seuss games are the only ones affected so far). If you really want to play it safe...(next)

...The Tortoise and the Hare will definitely not be taken down for sure, since that story is in the public domain. I've wondered if those chickens substitute their...junk...for eggs. OH GOSH THE NIGHTMARES Yeah, I never liked the Jungle that much either. It probably didn't help I played it maybe once or twice as a kid though (my neighbors had it and I literally could only find ONE COMPUTER in their house that could read their beaten up disc!)

GamesToonsPlus | Celebrating Christmas! (GumballFanatic2003 AVGCP) commented on 14 Jul 2015

It's the equivalent to a Latitude C610. I actually owned both the T23 (2 of them from 2010-2012) and a C610. My dad used the T23 as a basic web surfer main laptop and I used the C610 for everything and my only issues were build quality issues.

skypedog221 commented on 26 Mar 2013

I would recommend that you would leave Windows 98 on there and not install Windows 2000; you can get more disk space for other games or software that you might want to put on it in the future (if you ever do). Just saying...

Creative3DMM commented on 08 Apr 2013

Guys! You watch youtube videos and do something in Adobe Flash if you download the browser Opera 10.63 and Flash Player 9! I have tried K-Meleon, but it's obsolete compared to Opera.

Roadgeek commented on 27 Mar 2013

I have decided to do just that. This is strictly for gaming and Windows 2000, even though it's a great OS, Windows 98 is just a better choice when it comes to games.

Jeff Keltto commented on 15 Oct 2015

yep had that model in 2005 bought it used off a former boss. used it in tech runs for quick info and invoices lasted a a couple good years with constant usage.

Roadgeek commented on 27 Mar 2013

In that case, my next vintage computer video will include the first game ever to be bought for my Legend 822CDT back in 1995; Just Grandma & Me!!!! :-D

danisidoti84 commented on 27 Feb 2015

I have three of these machines (one with Windows 7, one with XP, and one with a Japanese keyboard) :) Two even have built-in WiFi antennas/cards

Mr. Eight-Three-One commented on 26 Mar 2013

"I have no clue what I'm doing" You're seeing how quick you can total the car? 32:04 What...was that? Oh geez, that's an interesting BIOS date...

EvkaX155 commented on 26 Mar 2013

Wow! Preety impressive how it was preety fast in the google search, I was expecting it to lag like hell, but guess not. Good video!

Roadgeek commented on 27 Mar 2013

I actually think it's stretched in this game. I still need to try the Midtown Madness games on this ThinkPad to see how they play.

Oxocero commented on 20 Oct 2013

You can try to do that, if you want to test it I recommend Windows Neptune as it is a free build of 2000.

IBM Thinkpad T23 Docking Station

User Comments

vwestlife commented on 20 Jan 2013

This is more of a port replicator than a true docking station. If you have a lot of external devices connected, this allows you to quickly remove the laptop without needing to unplug all the cables one-by-one, and then return it to the base without plugging them all back in again. It's mainly for people who use the laptop both as their main desktop computer and on-the-go.

benenantor commented on 20 Jan 2013

Have you ever considered making a pfsense router? i think that that would be a cool video. Loving the vidoes so far, i discovered you through maxxarcades videos, but i havnt seen any from him in a while. Thanks for sharing!

MrMaguire commented on 21 Jan 2013

I have one of those for my D series Latitudes. Nobody wants them so they're everywhere and available for next to nothing. The fan in my X61s sounds kinda dodgy too. ThinkPad fans are just kinda rubbish.

lmull3 commented on 20 Jan 2013

i don't have a reason for that much firewall control yet, so i just use DDWRT firmware on some linksys routers around the house. works great for me!

lmull3 commented on 20 Jan 2013

i'd use it if i needed it, especially for isolating a machine from the rest of the network. monowall and pfsense do a good job of that.

Ben's Collection and Sundry commented on 20 Jan 2013

I never understand whats so good about docking stations. I remember one of are really old computers having a docking station port.

FrankTheCat commented on 20 Jan 2013

pfSense can do other cool stuff too; local video/image caching, antivirus scanning on inbound files, etc.

naterade21 commented on 20 Jan 2013

i wonder if that docking station would work with my thinkpad 380xd

lmull3 commented on 20 Jan 2013

in my case, all i needed it for is the floppy drive connector!

bamdadkhan commented on 20 Jan 2013

man.. i do miss nt 4. i actually liked that os a lot.
