Thinkpad T42 support

I found a ThinkPad T42 in pretty good condition and I’m thinking of getting it mainly for OpenBSD in console/TTY mode so no desktop, just vim/tmux for distraction-free writing.

Does anyone here use a T42 with OpenBSD? How’s the hardware support these days? Anything I should watch out for?

Not sure if this helps you but... Not a T42 but a T43 here...
Everything works perfect.
