Picked up this IBM Thinkpad T42 in a bulk pick up of stuff. In this video I remove the IDE hard drive (and some of the RAM) and install a nice shiny IDE 2 SD with a 32GB card and Windows 98SE.

Then we run through some games and look at the advantages and disadvantages of this kind of thinkpad as a retro gaming PC.
