Hi nick. I have used a laptop with the neomagic chipset. It works great
with jaws. As for your other questions about the thinkpad the best way to
test it is to see if the store will let you install a copy of jaws on the
model and test it. Some places have no problem with this, but not all.
Just be sure that when you are done that you uninstall jfw and get your
authorization back. Good luck.
