There is conflicting information on this page. In the introductory paragraph it says "The HPA was introduced with the R/T/X 40 series of ThinkPads." But on the bottom the X3x models are also linked as having this technology. What is right? --Rolf 12:30, 19 October 2006 (CEST)

Re: 5 Accessing the HPA from Linux
I've checked the fwdir code (http://colimit.googlepages.com/fwdir.zip). This code works on a Hidden Partition (is that the same as a R and R or yet another Predesktop variant?). This code can not work with real HPAs.
I suggest we remove this section in an week or so (or move it to the discussion section) unless further info regarding those Hidden Partition is provided.
