hi,

  I found this page from internet http://www.aichi.to/~thinkpad/

 He has a lot of thinkpads listed there(also power series 800, 820 and 
850) only downside is that info is in japanese :) But there are many 
pics and also IBM sales brochure of 820.

In case anyone here is interested, several IBM 7249-860 RS/6000 laptops
will be available on ebay.  They will be sold by the seller evanathome
and will include AIX 4.1.5.  There is one up for sale right now.

My company had about 15-20 of these machines and we are getting rid of
our excess stock at real bargain prices.

The specs look a lot like the pre-800 series RS/6000-branded laptops.
They were 601 based and had limited release/production.  I don't think
they were ever released to the general public outside of IBM.  If I
remember correctly, the model was the N40, but I'm going on 8+ year old
memories here.  I probably have the info in an email somewhere from the
90's if someone really wants it.

The N40 will have limited uses and probably only support a very old AIX.

I'm not sure why this Asian-release brochure calls it the "EWS".  That's
the first I've heard of that name.

If anyone has any more info to share, perhaps this would make a good
addition to the web site; once all the facts are straight.
