So, some M13s came with a driver installation floppy. I'm unable to find a copy of it on either historical records of what was on the PCC BBS, or Lenovo's site, so I'm wondering what was on that floppy.
If there's actual TrackPoint II-specific drivers on there, that would be highly interesting, especially if they're the same versions as would be found on a ThinkPad of that vintage.

Maybe this one ?

That's a driver for certain ThinkPads, not for the M13.

Yes I read.
It's a driver for the TP II, likely works also on the m13's one.
-
Except the "II" in there is an artifact of how it was stored in the PCCBBS. The models mentioned had TrackPoint IIIs. ;)

Clicky keyboards list the m13 as equipped with TP II or IV...

They're listing M13s, and TrackPoint IV-equipped keyboards - two different things.
-
Yes, correct.
My point was that there's no mention to trackpoint III
-
read above, none

There never was a keyboard that was sold as a "TrackPoint III Keyboard", although confusingly, the 104-key rubber dome TrackPoint IV keyboard was actually a TrackPoint III. (Well, it had TrackPoint IV-like drivers, so I'll call it a TrackPoint 3.5.)
(There are two differences between a TrackPoint III and a TrackPoint IV - the TrackPoint IV has a third mouse button, and the drivers for the TP4 allow scrolling or a magnifying glass to be called up when that third mouse button is held down. The TrackPoint IV Keyboard only had two buttons, but came with drivers that gave it TP4-like capabilities when the shift key was held down.)

Which kind of troll can ask this dumb question two time in ten minutes ?

Yes, correct.
What part of the above messages were to hard to understand for you ?
Today was a bad day for you isn't it ?
Don't mind to use the other users as a punchball to relax your nerves.

Can't wait until you hit 500 posts and I can start calling you nasty names. Like Welly.
You Welly! Your momma is a Welly, too!
