  As far as I can determine, after briefly perusing the voluminous contents of the 4.0 
CD, the Thinkpad drivers, per se, are for mwave in the NT 4.0 environment.  The CD's 
directory structure specific to Thinkpads is: Ntwks40a\Drvlib\MWave\Thinkpad (which 
then contains \Disk1 and \Disk2).  I'm sure there are other drivers specific to 
Thinkpads but haven't had the time to investigate.  The MWave subdirectory is the only 
one that labels 'Thinkpad'!  I'll advise as I learn more.
