You can move the Thinkpads harddisk into a desktop computer using a 3,5"-2,5"-IDE-Adapter. Or buy a cheap pcmcia network card. pcmcia, not cardbus. With only 2 or 3 floppy disk images i was able to install debian potato on that tp755c, and after the base installation all it needs is a modification of /etc/apt/sources.list and "apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade".
