    I want to ask with the blue highlighted items, are those meant that my T61 have spare PCIe slot? can I add a set of WWAN module (like unlocked sierra mc8775 module+antena+sim card slot) into my old T61?

    I took a picture inside my T61 ..
    free PCIe slot on my T61

    does anyone have experience installing WWAN module in their T61 using middleton's bios? :D

    thank you for your answer :D
