Hello all,

I have a IBM Thinkpad laptop T22 2647 given to me by my aunt. Anyway, I have constructed the simple interface. The SCL voltage reads 5.05 V and the SDA reads 4.87 V. To connect to the eeprom I used two small sowing pins. That was interesting making the connections and running the computer by myself. I initially had trouble using the reader software until I realized it had to be run in command code. Then it ran smoothly. I got a dump, it seems fine, but I'm not quite certain of what the password is. In the laptop it only allows seven characters. Any combinations from the dump don't seem to work. What might I be doing wrong? I don't have any place to upload pictures. I typed out all information below. All unlisted lines only have zeros in them. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Nathan

If you look at 0x338 you'll see "1717"

Thanks, Bob that worked great. When I got the dump I thought why isn't there seven characters? I found out just because there are secen character spaces doesn't mean you need to use all of them. Thanks very much. But now I found out it has Win XP, but the drive is unmountable. Well thanks very much to you and Victor. It is amazing what we the human race can come up with.
Thanks, Nathan
