Fan Control Success on IBM T40? (another quick Q)

[Jeffrey Katcher]

FYI, if anyone needs to update their Thinkpad BIOS/system controller and
doesn't
have a floppy or run Windows, I have a working procedure involving Bochs,
FreeDOS,
and bootable CDs.  Bochs/FreeDOS is used to generate floppy boot images from
IBM's
DOS only BIOS/system controller updaters which are then burned as standalone
boot
CDs to remove the necessity of having a floppy drive.

The current T40 system controller (3.0a)/BIOS (3.04) seems quite a bit better 
about powering down the fan.

Hope this is helpful,

Jeff Katcher
