Peter,
Almost everything that came preloaded on your ThinkPad should be downloadable
>from the IBM support web site (www.pc.ibm.com/support). Set up a support
profile for yourself and your machine, then look for something called the
'device driver file matrix'. There you'll find the latest drivers for audio,
video, PCMCIA, UltraBay, etc.
>From the sound of your message, it seems that those things are what you're
looking for to get your machine fully functional.
Good luck,
Rob
