IBM ThinkPad A30, A30p, A31, A31p Windows Drivers and software

ThinkPad A30, A30p, A31, A31p – Desktop Replacement Laptop.

Two modular bays, a great keyboard, and IBM-exclusive features distinguish the models of the ThinkPad A30,A31 and A30P,A31P lines. Either of the A30, A31’s bays can hold several different types of devices, starting with the bundled optical drive (an 8X DVD-ROM drive at this price). Extra-cost options, such as a secondary battery, 120MB and 240MB SuperDisk floppy disk drives, a combination DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive, a Zip 250 drive, a second hard drive, and even a numeric keypad and PDA cradle give you lots of flexibility.
