I can confirm that my X201t still uses the serial protocol, located on the LPC bus, with a UART at 0x200-207 and IRQ 5, identified under Windows as ACPI\WACF00C... I haven't gone traipsing through the DSDT to find out if that's declared there or just by the driver. -Adam -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
