    Hi, I just wanted to ask if someone could check and see if the Thinkpad T61 has the TI firewire chipset or the Ricoh firewire chipset. I was seriously considering the T61 for pro audio use but unless it has the TI chipset I will have to look elsewhere. If anyone could do this for me I would appreciate it alot. Thanks!

    The Ricoh component does the card reader, firewire, and pc card stuff. It's an all-in-one solution.

    If you must have TI, I think the expresscard firewire adapters by SIIG are TI chipsets. I know the desktop/PCI cards are TI.
