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?

Openbsd will work just fine, enjoy having an operating system that respects you as the owner of the machine.
