I found my old IBM Thinkpad 600s under my bed today. They both have broken motherboards, and from what I've read are too old to run Puppy.
However, I really like the looks of the machine. Is there any way I could easily use the screen, keyboard, and speakers for another, newer computer?
I saw one time... you can buy a controller or something for the lcd and for de keyboard, and conect it to raspberry.
If you figure out the way of putting the raspberry inside, you have a "new" Ibm thinkpad 600
I have one and that was an idea i had.

if you have to ask then the answer is no
you'd have to re-route the I/O from whatever shit numale toy SBC you'd disgrace it with, plug up the holes you can't find anything for in a way that doesn't look like shit and adapt what you have to IBM's standards if you want your gay nerd fashion accessory to not look like a clock boy abomination
just run NT 4 on them if you can get them working and be done with it, it will be way more useful than some faggy lightweight distro anyway

I got one of these back in 2005 from a college chick who was going to bin it. Ran Windows 98. Unfortunately it smelled like burning plastic and the battery didn't hold a charge. I got rid of it but I wish I still had it.

just fix the motherboards. those are so old that you can easily solder new parts to the boards.. it was easy even on an t23.
