You do know that all Thinkpad T60/X60 can replace the BIOS with coreboot?
No, I didn't, that would be wonderful news. I see a few mentions of T60 support when googling for it, but nothing sufficiently clear to make me confident I would know how to flash it and I'd be able to assess whether I'm flashing the right firmware.
Admittedly the information about coreboot on a T60/X60 is spread around quite a bit: http://www.coreboot.org/Thinkpad_X60s has some status info http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2012-January/067959.html has some info on how to replace the BIOS on that machine with coreboot, but read the WHOLE thread because the linked mail had a few typos in the description.
Any pointers to information about it would be very welcome (e.g. which T60 are "supported" or at least expected to work?
AFAIK all T60/X60 variants work with coreboot. Sven Schnelle knows more, he is the one who ported coreboot to those thinkpads.
I have the following thinkpad models running on coreboot:
Thinkpad X60s (Model 1702-24U) Thinkpad X60 (actually only the Mainboard without case/display for debugging: Model 1703) Thinkpad T60p (Model 2007-CTO)
There are also a few other users with a X60/T60, but i don't know exact details about the model type they use. I think i've also seen Model 1708/1709 X60's running coreboot.
Sven.
