re: linux and mwave, there is a guide on how to get this working on
www.linux-thinkpad.org . I haven't tried this myself yet however as it
requires dos and I'm totally linux on my 760 now.
regards,
Darren Kennedy.

That was a prize, dude!
You totally lucked out.
I just bought a PowerBook 150 for $107 on eBay and I thought I was getting
a real deal.
If only the Mwave modem/sound system would work with Linux...then I'd say
forget Windows and go Linux. Command-line Linux or Linux XFree86 plus a
basic windows manager like fwvm or fwvm95 would run well on something like
that.
Unfortunately the Mwave is extremely proprietary hardware, and Linux
wouldn't have a clue how to deal with it.
Take care,
