I just saw your blog post about the BIOS lock bypass you did on your X230, and I was very excited, I just did the same thing on a T430 and T530 a week or two ago! I was planning on making a post of my own about the removal and subsequent coreboot installs for both, but I wanted to send you https://milaq.net/thinkpad-password-removal/ as a list of all the locations you need to short for all Ivy Bridge thinkpads.

oh this is an awesome resource, thank you man! how do you like the T530? I kind of want to make a Hackintosh out of one!
Of course! I didn't quite realize that the T530 and T430 are essentially the same machine with a different screen size, and I do kinda prefer that the T430 is a little smaller, but honestly I love how they both feel and I get all the performance I need. With a CPU upgrade you could make a sick hackintosh with a T530! I heard the T480/T580 are good for that too.
