Wow. I'm beginning to wonder if maybe this is some IBM conspiracy to get people to use OS/2. I was debugging somebody else's program on my TP750. The program was overlaid so it'd fit in <600k of memory. Of course after compiling and linking it it wouldn't run. I didn't know if the overlaying was the problem, or if there was another bug in the program. Solution? I use OS/2 so I changed my DOS box setting to mono video mode. That gives DOS programs 700k or so of free memory. I compiled it without overlays and ran it (650k RAM required to run). Decided it was a bug in the program. OS/2 has support for my PCMCIA modem, audio, SB emulation, etc. all installed. Those drivers just don't take any of the lower 640k needed by DOS programs. -- John H.

Surprisingly, there were two (2) construction problems with the case. After contacting them, they promptly sent another case two-day air. They have a strange practice of billing you for the additional case until the original is returned -- they have been ripped-off by too many customers not returning the original product. Prices range from $89 to approximatedly $300 in various styles. I replaced a Targus with the PORT. I would not hesitate to buy another one. It is the best case I've seen and offers great utility.

You apply the various patches to the netbsd kernel source on the working system, build a new boot floppy, and use that boot floppy to install netbsd on the thinkpad. Both the kernel itself (/netbsd) and the floppy boot block have to be patched before netbsd will run. In this case, the message you are getting is from the boot block. Because the thinkpad BIOS says there are 36 sectors per track, the boot block tries to read that many sectors at a time. But because this is a 1.44 Mb disk, there are only 18 sectors per track!

My floppy driver for linux had essentially the same changes described below.

I think that's something desirable. If the notebook were to suspend on close (like some do) and you had data in mid-transfer or dsik access going on, you'd lose a lot and probably bring down OS/2's file system (or under W4W, bring down the whole disk). It's just saving all the data and preparing for suspend.

I work for a company that deals with power systems testing. I am trying to get a NE200 to work properly on a Novell Netware 2.x network under both DOS and OS/2. I was able to get it going under DOS but the preferred server setting does not work in the net.cfg. The server I am trying to connect to is the second one on the server list. The desktop machine has no problems. IBM says that there is no real standard for PCMCIA cards. Novell and Eagleware do not seem to know anything about it other than "all 750 users are having problems". The most helpful seems to be Socket Tech (We got some PCMCIA serial port from them) and it is not their card. OS/2 does not work at all. Can someone email me the FAQ?

Recently I went on a trip only to find out that one of the batteries was non-functional. Upon my return, I eventually got it working again, but only by power-cycling the battery and charging it with the quick-charger -- the battery wouldn't charge at all if I put it in the thinkpad. Apparently the "bad" battery ran down to the point where the thinkpad wouldn't talk to it anymore. I gather that I need to switch back and forth between the batteries to make sure that neither one is neglected. Is there some simple regimen I can use to make sure both batteries will be in working order when I need them?

That's acceptable loss and about what I get. As for whether you should charge it again or discharge it first--hey, only you can tell. Personally, I have no problem re-charging after a partial discharge. It doesn't bother me at all. Nevertheless, you do need to "condition" it once in a while (run it through a full charge/discharge cycle) in order to maintain battery life. That doesn't mean you have to do it constantly, just every so often. I'd say every 2 to 4 weeks do a full cycle. Other than that, don't worry about it. ----- Randy Whittle whittle@scf.usc.edu University of Southern California School of Business (Fight on, Trojans!) - Motorcycle nut, HP 48 & 100LX user, and...*Proud* to be Conservative!

It does it only when you physically move it around or shake it, so its not anything bad with the hard drive or anything. But when I pick it up and move it, there is a small rattling sound-- like a broken piece of plastic or little metal item--somewhere in the right, rear corner that I cannot identify. I'm considering opening it up, but I don't want to risk messing up the warranty. Everything appears to function properly, but I don't like the sound of it--something's loose, there is no doubt about that. On a related note--does anyone know how to tighten the screen hinges? The right hand screen hinge seems to be a touch loose (maybe its connected to the noise?). It was loose for a couple of weeks, but I never go around to mentioning it for the list.

Thanks for responding Chuck, but that can't be it--my locking clip is quite securely attached to the right edge of the keyboard just as it should be. This "rattling sound" is coming from somewhere in the back-right of the computer, but not in the PCMCIA slots (I checked) and not in the normal swap-out area where the battery, drive, and floppy drive are encased.

You haven't worked much with Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries have you?! They last longer in operation per size unit than Nickel-Cadmium, but they do not hold their charge as well over time. That's just the facts of life. You'll have to go to another battery technology if you want to avoid it, but they have their own set of advantages and disadvantages too. > I am still planning to call IBM on this topic. Have fun.

Status: OR I too lost approximately 10% of my charge overnight, while in hibernate mode. IBM tech support told me that the culprit was the smart power monitor on the battery, and that this could be avoided by removing the battery when fully charged and turning the power switch off. I tried this during spring break, when the TP remained plugged in to the AC adapter. When I reinstalled the battery it showed a 0 charge on the gauge. My estimate is that it had lost 50% of its charge while stored for a week with the power switch off. P.S. I for one would not care as much about estimating battery life if it were feasible to carry two or more spares. Following a suggestion >from someone out there, I called Duracell about the possible availability of generic NiMh spares for the Thinkpad. Duracell is not very far along in the project, notwithstanding announcements made in the press. They are still at the stage of trying to persuade manufacturers to adopt standard sizes in their next models -- repeating a process that they went through some years ago with manufacturers of cameras. Duracell does not want to be responsible for computer batteries that are not recommended by the computer manufacturer -- or so it says. It hopes to have some NiMh batteries out later this year, but I am not optimistic that there will be a generic standard battery for the present generation of Thinkpads.

PCTools Fastcopy utility, Hibernating on AC, Strange DOS mouse cursor behavior X-Mailer: Status: OR When I use the Fastcopy utility from Central Point PC Tools (mine's version 9.0) for duplicating floppies, the resulting copies are full of bad sector errors and frequently the boot section is also corrupt. So far I have only tried this with HD floppies formatted for 1.44 Mb, which is pretty much all I use. I have never had problems with this utility on any other machine. Is it a quirk of the 2.88 drive and/or controller, or is my TP broken? Perhaps others with PC Tools on their machines (or available) could give me a report. Also, my TP refuses to hibernate when the AC is plugged in. Is this a design feature, a hardware problem, or a matter of bad settings in my power-saving applets? Finally, under some DOS programs (DOS edit is typical) if I move the cursor suddenly, it changes shape from a single character block to a 3x3 block with the center character position clear, and will not change back unless I restart the program. This is not a major problem, but it makes me wonder whether the standard mouse.com driver that ships with MS-DOS 6.2 is completely compatible with the ThinkPad.

The Monologue software is also available in the Crystal data book (apparently it was a joint development by Crystal and First Source). The CS4248 is functionally equivalent to the Analog Devices AD1848 rev. K chip.

It was weird, I had to install Win32s manually (from the changes it made on my desktop's SYSTEM.INI). It seems to be running fine. I'll let you know if I encounter problems in the future. The setup program provided in the .ZIP file doesn't work with the TP (at least in my case). BTW, I read (I think in the FAQ) that 32 bit access worked fine, but in my case it is kind of flaky, I don't remember exactly what the problems were, but it was crashing my system (hybernation or suspend?). Other than that the machine works fine, it is currently running Windows and OS/2 for WIN, although I have to change SYSTEM.INI depending on which environment I am going to work. My machines's setup is: TP750 Cs w/12 MB. RAM 340 HD MHZ Xjack 14.4 modem (the older one) It is a workhorse, and with SLIP, it connects without a glitch to the Internet.

It wasn't easy to get up and running; I had to patch the kernel in a few places, and use the UMSDOS hack to actually get a file system on the disk. The main problem: linux doesn't deal with the 2.88 Mb floppy controller; also linux uses the disk change signal, which works differently on the tp750 than on most PCs. (Eventually I got the floppy driver to actually read/write 1.44 Mb disks, but the disk change line still didn't work, so if you swapped floppies the old cached data wasn't invalidated.) > how well does Xfree work > with the thinkpad chipset (256 colors?)?

But there are other problems as well. Versions of linux after 0.99pl13 would just get wedged, apparently in the hard disk driver code. You can have my patched versions of kernel files by ftp-ing to cs.utk.edu, directory pub/moore/linux. I'm currently running netbsd on my thinkpad; it also required several patches, but works much better than linux did.

My OS2 for Windows' SYSTEM.INI is not the same one that I use for my regular Win 3.1 sessions, I had too many problems with the video driver and some other things (sorry, I fixed it a while ago and can't remember the other problems, but video was the worst!), so I have a batch file that copies the SYSTEM.INI that I fined tuned for OS/24W and replaces the one that is fined tuned for plain Windows. I have to have both and remember to sync then whenever there are changes (like the one with Win32s). The problem was strictly a Windows 3.1 problem, as I expressed in my message, I stripped the original System.ini from all the 'strange' components, nothing to do with TP-750 nor OS/2 (since this is my plain Windows INI). Still, no good. Anyway, it was really late when I tried to setup win32s (2:00 a.m.) so this morning I gave it another shot, but this time I had access to my desktop and just for the fun of it reinstalled win32s on it. Worked without a glitch. So, half frustated I decided to trick the 750 (well, this wouldn't be the very first time) and manually copied the entries that the setup program added to SYSTEM.INI: [boot] . . . drivers=mmsystem.dll winmm16.dll power.drv . . . [386Enh] device=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WIN32S\W32S.386 . . . Please note that in the [boot] section I am not sure about the winmm16.dll, but it certainly didn't affect my system. Also, this assumes that you had tried to install win32s and failed (since it copies some stuff into its own subdirectory and in \windows\system). That's it!, after that, Mosaic and all the other programs worked (Although the newer version of Mosaic has some "features" that the previous one -16 bit- didn't have, but that is a different story...) ---------------- >From Sean Chou: >Oh yeah, RE: the 32-bit file access. Are you sure it's the file >access? What BIOS and Utility version are you using? And what >system do you have the Windows set up for? It has to be the >MSDOS system with APM... The problems with installing win32s and the 32 bit file access are not the same. I am using the latest utilities and the BIOS update that I got from the IBM BBS several days ago, and if my memory doesn't fail, are the same as the ones posted on the FAQ. In fact, one of those upgrades fixed my problem with MS-DOS Edit (from DOS 6.2) crashing once in a while in the middle of something. And yes, MSDOS system with APM has been up and running since I got this machine in late December, as well as all the other IBM drivers that came bundled with the TP. ---------------- >From Bob Page: >What IP stack are you running? I originally tried to install >Microsoft's TCP/IP stack for WFWG but gave up because it took up so >much conventional memory. I've since switched to a beta release of >an upcoming PC-NFS. >..bob I am using the Trumpet Winsock IP stack (both under SLIP and under Token Ring/ODI/Winpkt...), it has been extremely stable, and I am very happy with it. The problem with win32s is not with the IP stack (now I know, I am using Trumpet and win32s while I write this reply :)). With Trumpet I can have active 3-4 FTP sessions plus 1 Mosaic session + 1 Trumpet News Reader + Eudora + TELNET to BIX.COM and PANIX.COM and still have some memory to spare for eventual Fileman and Write Sessions. The TP-750 has never complained. BTW, before someone asks, under Token Ring I can see only the hosts that are NOT on my same network, this is because of "tricking" the program into thinking that it is talking to an ENET board which in fact is a Token Ring... I am going to install TCP-IP for OS/2 over the weekend, I already did that on my desktop (I didn't like the interface, and setting it up to run under ODINSUP was a real pain!!!.). I'll let you know if it worked (and maybe give you the URL so you can connect to a WWW server running on my TP!!!). So far it is working over Token Ring, the TP-750 will be a SLIP setup. IMHO I think Trumpet is more stable than some commercial applications, at least better than the one I had to install at one place I do consulting (it acts as an IPX/IP gateway and only uses one IP address for multiple clients + using Lan Workplace utilities), and is pretty expensive... ------------ Thanks also to Randal Wittle, I got your reply while I was preparing this message and had already fixed my problem. ------------ Feel free to email me if you need more information Bernardo blam@panix.com blam@bix.com From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Fri Apr 8 16:14:32 1994 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by uxa.cso.uiuc.edu with SMTP id AA26686 (5.67b/IDA-1.5 for ); Fri, 8 Apr 1994 16:14:24 -0500 Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.8s-UTK) id QAA00194; Fri, 8 Apr 1994 16:47:26 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Fri, 8 Apr 1994 16:47:25 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from wilma.cs.utk.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.8s-UTK) id QAA00185; Fri, 8 Apr 1994 16:47:23 -0400 Received: from LOCALHOST by wilma.cs.utk.edu with SMTP (cf v2.9c-UTK) id QAA03440; Fri, 8 Apr 1994 16:46:59 -0400 Message-Id: <199404082046.QAA03440@wilma.cs.utk.edu> To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Subject: how to unsubscribe Cc: moore@CS.UTK.EDU From: tp750-request@CS.UTK.EDU Date: Fri, 08 Apr 1994 16:46:58 -0400 Sender: moore@CS.UTK.EDU Status: OR just a reminder...

Yes, but I encountered the same problem with a hang near the end of the install. Never did figure out the cause, but it is possible to work around the hang by using the DOS 'expand' command to manually decompress the few remaining files from the install diskette.

I simply installed FaxWorks for OS/2 and went for it. Their driver worked fine with the KIT for faxing. My only problem is the TP won't wake from suspend on receipt of a fax.

Until IBM makes some new device drivers! I use my machine almost exclusively under Windows. So, I have removed the DOS mouse, audio and pen drivers to free more memory. Yes, I have a 750P, but these files should work on the other members of the 750 family. These can also be used as templates for your own special needs. My setup: 750P, 4MB RAM, 170MB hard drive, Megahertz XJ1144 modem. I also have a Yamaha tone generator connected to my serial port, but that is handled under Windows. So, here is my CONFIG.SYS: DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS FILES=30 BUFFERS=25 /x DOS=HIGH,UMB STACKS=0,0 DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE FRAME=C000 NOEMS X=C000-C7FF DEVICEhigh=C:\THINKPAD\IBMDSS01.SYS /S0=2 DEVICEhigh=C:\THINKPAD\IBMDOSCS.SYS DEVICEhigh=C:\THINKPAD\DICRMU01.SYS /MA=C000-C7FF DEVICEhigh=C:\THINKPAD\$ICPMDOS.SYS DEVICEhigh=C:\THINKPAD\AUTODRV.SYS C:\THINKPAD\AUTODRV.INI DEVICEhigh=C:\IBMVESA\VESA.EXE DEVICEhigh=c:\dos\ansi.sys -----END OF FILE An explanation for those not intimate with config files: Notice that the FILES and BUFFERS are kept pretty small. I've had no problems with this so far. The /x on BUFFERS puts those buffers in memory above the 640K boundary. The DOS= line puts DOS in upper memory, and allows device drivers to be installed there as well. STACKS=0,0 forces windows programs to use their own stacks during hardware interrupts. Setting this to 9,256 can be less stable, but it can also be faster. I need to experiment with this one some more. I have used 9,256, and I had some problems getting Procomm Plus to connect, as it missed some of the characters from the modem during handshaking. I have this with 0,0 as well, but have a little more free memory. EMM has a 2k region excluded for use by PC cards, as is suggested for use with EZPlay. I moved this region from C800 to C000 to avoid splitting upper memory. I still don't know what the FRAME= option does. The next five lines set up EZPlay to recognize my Megahertz XJ1144 modem. I wonder if taking big chunks out of the AUTODRV.INI file would help free memory. VESA.EXE is required by the windows video drivers, and I like to have a 50 line screen in DOS, so ANSI is required. I could use another ANSI driver, but this will do for now. Now on to AUTOEXEC.BAT: @ECHO OFF MODE CON LINES=50 PROMPT $E[00m$E[30m$E[46m$P$G$E[37m$E[40m PATH C:\DOS;C:\BAT;C:\NETMANAG;C:\WINWORD;C:\EXCEL;C:\BIN; C:\WINDOWS;C:\THINKPAD; SET TEMP=C:\TMP SET DIRCMD=/OGN /L /A LH C:\DOS\SMARTDRV 1024 1024 LH C:\DOS\SHARE /L:300 LH C:\DOS\DOSKEY.COM /INSERT -----END OF FILE Again, an explanation... Like I said, I like to have a 50 line screen. The PROMPT uses the ANSI driver (hey, it's installed...) to put my prompt in inverse video. The DIRCMD sorts all DIR output, listing all directories first, alphabetically, then all (/A) files (even hidden ones), in lowercase. SMARTDRV allocates a 1MB disk cahce for DOS and Windows. SHARE is required by Microsoft Access, and Word likes it, too. I did reduce the number of file locks from 500 to 300, saving a few bytes. I like doskey. A lot. /INSERT leaves the command editor in insert mode by default. So with that said and explained, here's the output from a MEM /C after booting: Modules using memory below 1Mb: Name Total = Conventional + Upper Memory -------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- SYSTEM 13085 (13K) 12973 (13K) 112 (0K) HIMEM 1072 (1K) 1072 (1K) 0 (0K) EMM386 4256 (4K) 4256 (4K) 0 (0K) COMMAND 2912 (3K) 2912 (3K) 0 (0K) SMARTDRV 27296 (27K) 10896 (11K) 16400 (16K) DOSKEY 4096 (4K) 4096 (4K) 0 (0K) IBMDSS01 5456 (5K) 0 (0K) 5456 (5K) IBMDOSCS 27264 (27K) 0 (0K) 27264 (27K) $ICPMDOS 3344 (3K) 0 (0K) 3344 (3K) AUTODRV 12368 (12K) 0 (0K) 12368 (12K) VESA 8128 (8K) 0 (0K) 8128 (8K) ANSI 4208 (4K) 0 (0K) 4208 (4K) SHARE 11312 (11K) 0 (0K) 11312 (11K) FREE 625200 (611K) 619136 (605K) 6064 (6K) Memory summary: Type of Memory Size = Used + Free ---------------- ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- Conventional 655360 (640K) 36224 (35K) 619136 (605K) Upper 94656 (92K) 88592 (87K) 6064 (6K) Adapter RAM/ROM 196608 (192K) 196608 (192K) 0 (0K) Extended (XMS) 3247680 (3172K) 1224256 (1196K) 2023424 (1976K) ---------------- ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- Total memory 4194304 (4096K) 1545680 (1509K) 2648624 (2587K) Total under 1Mb 750016 (732K) 124816 (122K) 625200 (611K) Largest executable program size 619040 (605K) Largest free upper memory block 5840 (6K) IBM DOS is resident in the high memory area. -----END OF FILE Well, maybe with that 6K, I could increase my FILES or locks in SHARE. I have also replaced the 1.1 audio driver with version 1.0 The 1.0 driver allows sampling and playback at any rate, while 1.1 only works at 44.1, 22.05, and 11.025kHz. (OK, maybe 48K, too.) I think it's faster, too. Windows Sound Recorder and other WAV editors update their displays about once per second with the 1.1 driver, and ten times per second with the 1.0 driver. And, I have an external MIDI box, so I can gladly forego the cheesy MIDI synth in 1.1. Oh yes, MOD4WIN, the shareware MOD player for windows plays at exactly 11.0, 22.0 or 44.0 kHz, so no sound comes out with the 1.1 driver, while it works fine with 1.0.

Well, I recently installed SCO ODT 3.0 (SCO UNIX 3.2.4.2) using my docking station and an adaptec 1542C SCSI controller (yes, I know about the integrated SCSI in the docking station, but it took about 6 weeks to get the right SCSI cabel for this ... 60-pin IBM connector). You need the SCO EFS 130 (one floppy disk via FTP from ftp.sco.com) which will give you the IBM support for various IBM hardware (including MC architecture). SCO supports only 640x480 with standard VGA and 16 colours. Then I got XFree2.1 and with that installed, I can use 1024x768 with 256 colors on my external monitor without any problems. > > do the thinkpad power > > saving abilities still work (suspend, etc) in linux?

Yes, I tried it this morning with success (I tried only SCO ODT). First you have to attach a SCSI device to activate the controller in the docking station. Then I tried to run the SCSI diagnostic comming with the docking station. It identifies the adaptor type as "Future Domain TMC 850/860/875/885".

To: TP750@CS.UTK.EDU Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Status: OR Does anyone know of a source for a replacement screen for a Thinkpad 700 Mono (I think the screens are the same as on the 750). I just made myself a nice crack right across my screen with beautiful orange fluid seeping out. IBM quotes me a price of $955 for the screen and thats for Mono. I can only guess what the price would be for color. Anyway I'm sure there must be a lowerpriced source somewhere since I've always found IBM stuff a lot cheaper than for what IBM actually sells it at. So please just email me or respond to the list I suppose if you can help.

I have heaps of cd-rom's that are documentation etc. I therefore will have the dock at home with external SCSI drives.

I don't see a mouse driver? That and the use of the ansi.sys driver appear to be the only major differences. I am getting 588K of conventional memory (again, the difference is the 17K required for the mouse driver). I changed my stacks configuration from 9,256 to 0,0 as you have done, and now find that the slow connect on Procomm Plus has been reduced. As for FRAME, it specifies the starting location of the expanded memory pages, if you choose to use expanded memory. The Frame=C000 after your EMS driver is unnecessary (from my understanding) for two reasons: 1. C000 is the default location; 2. NOEMS cancels out the use of expanded memory. Let me know, I can upload copies of my boot files if you would like to see the complete configuration (if anyone else on he list would like to see these files, I would also be glad to upload them to the list or email direct :-) ).

You don't need it unless you have a RAM card. BTW, you can tell it's loaded because it assigns an extra drive letter to your machine. I've never worked with a RAM card so I don't know how all it would work (I guess it's really more static ram or maybe flash ram).

Fully playable, most is icon based. Some areas you must experiment around, such as *saving*, *sound control*, *brightness control* and a few other things that I haven had the courage to try. ;) The first part of the game puts you in a cemetery (you're a Samurai), you have these Geisha (sp) girls floating above the ground, plus many other strange characters. I've explored very little, but the game is loaded with options, like I said before, most is in icon form...the rest you have to experiment with. What really impressed me was the clarity, and type of music used. If you're familiar with contemporary Japanese music, I swear KITARO produced the musical score. Very *mystical* and *haunting* style of music. Loading the game is a bit tricky, since all options are in Japanese. 1. Create a TEMP directory in your C: drive 2. Unzip each file to that directory using -d option of PKUNZIP 3. From C: type subst a: c:\temp 4. Change to a: and type INSTALL 5. (in Japanese now) First option: A: 6. Second: C:\DEVIL 7. All the rest use the Y option 8. To run it you can use either: PLAY.BAT (puts you right into the intro screen. PPLAY.EXE automatically checks your system for Joystick etc, then brings you into intro. >You mention zip files, etc... do you know where I can get them? (if >you think it is somewhat legal, of course). The legality issue can be questioned ;) I will be very happy to offer it to anyone. It should be available in most larger BBS. This game has not been released commercially here in the states. Strictly Japanese release, and only about a couple months old. Whats so great about the Soundblaster compatibility with this game, is that this game was created very recently and in Japan. So for it to be compatible with the 750(c) gives me great hope for future games. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a gaming junky ;)...it's just nice to know that your IBM Laptop is not strictly all business! :) I'm using config's game option, 618 free conventional. With this I get an occasional system lockup when I exit the game. But when I use my regular (no NOEMS setting in line) setup i experience no such problem. >Also FYI: check out Castle Wolfenstein 3D game on the thinkpad! The >first episode is available public domain (let me know if you need >a place to ftp it from). It also works well with the thinkpad >sound (soundblaster mode).

Wolfenstein is available via internet anonymous ftp to: ftp.uwp.edu look in directory /pub/games/id. There is an INDEX file there, and a few other ID games (doom, commander keen, etc). doom is a great game but i've heard it does not work with the thinkpad svaudio program cuz doom uses a protected-mode 386-DOS extender and svaudio is not, i think, DPMI compliant (???). There is also a good collection of shareware/public domain games on the same site in the /pub/games/uml directory. The /pub/games/uml/Epic directory has many games with sound blaster/Adlib support.... i have not had the time to try any of them on the thinkpad (or even not on the thinkpad). -Todd From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Fri Apr 15 15:50:33 1994 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by uxa.cso.uiuc.edu with SMTP id AA05755 (5.67b/IDA-1.5 for ); Fri, 15 Apr 1994 15:50:25 -0500 Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.8s-UTK) id QAA07116; Fri, 15 Apr 1994 16:22:38 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Fri, 15 Apr 1994 16:22:36 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from oz.geology.washington.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.8s-UTK) id QAA07109; Fri, 15 Apr 1994 16:22:32 -0400 Received: by oz.geology.washington.edu (4.1/UW-NDC Revision: 2.22 ) id AA04871; Fri, 15 Apr 94 13:10:25 PDT Date: Fri, 15 Apr 1994 12:53:29 -0700 (PDT) From: "Victor C.

I have not solved it, but I can give more info. It started with an occasional reboot when I exited windows. In my case, the Trackpoint was not involved. It gradually got worse until eventually it rebooted every time I exited windows. I called IBM support. They were very supportive, but had little in the way of constructive suggestions. They said that they had about 11 calls on the same problem. They had one user send his machine in. They tried re-installing a minimal setup and the problem did not go away. The only solution they found was a complete low-level reformat of the hard-disk. They had no explanation. I reformatted my disk, and re-installed all my software. The problem was cured for about two weeks, and then it started again. Defraging does not help. For some unexplained reason, the problem seems to be moderating lately. My machine is now rebooting with every fourth exit from windows. I have encountered no unpleasant side effects, nor correlation with the use of any particular software (other than windows, of course). I had resigned myself to the fact that the only solution was migration to a real operating system. Unfortunately, my 170 meg disk is already full, the new operating systems are huge, and the disk upgrade to 360meg costs $1300 from IBM (gasp!). I'm sure that any suggestions regarding any of these problems would be valuable for lots of us. -V From dreamer Fri Apr 15 16:09:20 1994 Received: by uxa.cso.uiuc.edu id AA13011 (5.67b/IDA-1.5 for ychou@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu); Fri, 15 Apr 1994 16:07:45 -0500 Received: by uxa.cso.uiuc.edu id AA12965 (5.67b/IDA-1.5 for dreamer@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu); Fri, 15 Apr 1994 16:07:39 -0500 Received: by uxa.cso.uiuc.edu id AA12922 (5.67b/IDA-1.5 for stunnels-temp@uiuc.edu); Fri, 15 Apr 1994 16:07:35 -0500 Date: Fri, 15 Apr 1994 16:07:35 -0500 X-Ph: V3.17@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu From: Andrew Trapp Message-Id: <199404152107.AA12922@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu> To: stunnels-temp@uiuc.edu Subject: Please bear with me....

I've got this same problem with NUPop, the offline email reader I use (in fact I'm using it right now to type this). The problem is most prevalent with the up and down arrow keys, and in an OS/2 DOS box. I had assumed it was a problem with OS/2's DOS emulation, but I never considered the amount of free memory had anything to do with it. NUPop is a very resource hungry program, and tends to hang a lot if you don't have >550k free. Also, it's a protected mode program. -- John H.

I've since discovered that the spot is temperature-sensitive. If I carry the machine outside in the cold for any length of time, the spot expands and becomes more dense; indoors, as the machine warms up, the spot contracts and becomes diffuse. I can make it go away entirely by carefully applying extra heat, like from a hair dryer. But the cure lasts only until the TP is chilled again. I'm posting this in the hopes that one of you has some insights into LCD screen construction, and might be able to suggest a more permanent solution than carrying a blow-drier with me on trips (made extra absurd by the fact that I am, well, "follicly-challenged", enough not to need the appliance for its original purpose). I assume what's happened here is that some liquid-crystal solution has leaked out of the panel and is sitting on one of the glass panes, but only becomes visible when it is pinched between the panes as they cool down and the gap contracts. Is there anything user-serviceable here? As in, can I open up the sandwich, and clean off the offending fluid? Or have I completely misunderstood the nature of the problem?

I also noticed it was because the num/scroll lock light kept going on on a random keystroke. The problem went away when I got rid of QwikSwitch (which lets you switch between apps with hotkeys). I'm not sure these two are the same problem. Does the problem with QVTNet manifest itself because the numlock gets turned on automatically?

In the ethernet section (just look for the line CardID=ETHER), there is a line right after the CardID=ETHER that reads: Option=Ignore This essentially tells ezplay to ignore ethernet cards. Change that line to: ;Option=Ignore Placing the semi-colon in the first column turns that line into a comment. Then, reboot your machine. Now ezplay will try to setup ethernet cards for you. Please, please send a note to this email list telling folks if the 3Com board works with ezplay or not. I'm worried because it is not listed in the pcmcia.crd file, but I do not know if it is not there because it does not work with ezplay or because it is to new. FYI: I am currently using a Kingston twisted-pair pcmcia board. the kingston board does _not_ work properly with ezplay.

TSX is a VMS-like product - I've used their PDP-11 version of it for some years now and if the pc-version is anywhere even close it will add a whole new dimension to command line operation, including nine easily selectable full screen windows to tasks executed by a real job scheduler, etc.. The problem here is Thinkpad hardware is not all that easy for me to locate (or for anyone else, I'm sure) so I'd like to ask those of you who do have this system to give it a try. TSX is started from dos, so you already have everything else needed (and unzip, of course). There is a version called TSX-Lite available as listed below. Please let me know how it goes, hopefully before May 2d. By the way, if this works, it's something I'm quite sure you'll be glad you got. Thanks!!

I know it is for me (I measured it at the Exploratorium in San Francisco - came out to about 18kHz) and I have pretty good hearing. Of course if it's very loud that's a different story. I have noticed that with the AC adapter plugged in and the battery not charging and the radio tuned the 980 AM, there's an annoying EM whine the radio picks up (that's the news station here in L.A.). I can modulate it with the *contrast* bar. I've got a 750 mono btw. -- John H.

Oops, I should've mentioned I've got a 750 mono. The contrast becomes really sharp under sunlight. Annoyingly so. I have to switch the screen to inverse so it'll look more like a watch LCD (black on white) instead of the white on black (which seems like inverse under sunlight to my brain). -- John H.

How much is it affected by cards that *are* in use? This I'm not sure. I would think that if the modem was plugged in, without it being loaded via Config.sys...wouldn't use any extra power. I think that if the modem drivers are loaded, power drainage would be the same, regardless if the modem is in use or dormant! The other day I started to time the battery with the modem active (drivers loaded), I had to take off, but I had it going for at least 2 hours.

John, I'm simply amazed that you feel this way! I have a 750C and when I'm outdoors, I can barely see a blasted thing at all--and then only after some really bad squinting. I find using the TP outdoors tremendously annoying and difficult. The ambient light, whether very sunny or cloudy and overcast, seems to be just too overpoweringly bright--hence, I can't see what's on the screen for beans. If you (or anyone on the list) have a secret method for seeing your TP screen outdoors, please do share it with me. I'd like to use it outdoors, but as of now, it certainly seems unworkable. ----- Randy Whittle whittle@scf.usc.edu University of Southern California School of Business (Fight on, 'SC Trojans!) - Motorcycle nut, HP 48GX & 100LX user, & lover of fine chocolate...

I was told by several people at First Source and ComputAbility, that the KIT modem could be upgraded to V-Fast with Firmware. After reading the same from several people here on our list, I decided to order it. Boy, was I in for a shock when I called AT&T for support.....NO, the AT&T KIT can not be upgraded to V-Fast or V-Turbo!! NO, there are no plans to do so, now, or for the foreseeable future. The only thing that you can upgrade is the error correction part of the modem. I also asked the AT&T tech people about any plans to allow present owners of the KIT modems to exchange the 14.4 with the future V-Fast models. The reply was , "no, no plans!" I thanked him, and promptly called ComputAbility for a RA#. Since my second choice was Megahertz XJ2144, I called them to inquire on upgrade policies, if any existed. I was told that there was an exchange policy recently implemented, that would allow the owner of a XJ2144 to exchange their modem for a faster model (V-Turbo or V-Fast), whenever they are made available. You would then just pay S/H and the difference in price. I can't stress enough how HAPPY I'm with my Megahertz XJ2144. It was a snap to install and configure!! The XJack is a GREAT option!! I ended up buying it from ComputAbility, since there was nothing wrong with the AT&T modem, they gave me a hard time on the return...i was just about to stomp on the darn thing, so i could tell them that YES...there was something wrong with it! So I just went for the exchange to avoid any more hassle. The price was right also. $329. delivered! 1-800-558-0003 Joseph Pereira From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Thu Apr 28 06:30:58 1994 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by uxa.cso.uiuc.edu with SMTP id AA06794 (5.67b/IDA-1.5 for ); Wed, 27 Apr 1994 06:23:31 -0500 Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.8s-UTK) id XAA12198; Tue, 26 Apr 1994 23:43:17 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Tue, 26 Apr 1994 23:43:16 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from chs.claremont.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.8s-UTK) id XAA12182; Tue, 26 Apr 1994 23:43:08 -0400 Received: by chs.claremont.edu (5.65/DEC-Ultrix/4.3) id AA01690; Tue, 26 Apr 1994 20:41:00 -0700 X-Nupop-Charset: English Date: Tue, 26 Apr 1994 08:43:44 -0800 (PST) From: "John Kim" Sender: jokim@chs.cusd.claremont.edu Reply-To: jokim@chs.cusd.claremont.edu Message-Id: <31425.jokim@chs.cusd.claremont.edu> To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Subject: Answers to a few questions Status: OR I'm too lazy to edit this down.

John, My apologies for the delay in responding to you. I have been waiting for news on the IBM Internet FTP site. To cut a long story short, we (ThinkPad development) can authorize the FTP site coordinator to make the drivers package available to public, *IF* she/he agrees. The Watson FTP site coordinator hasn't returned our calls... if you know her/his Internet ID you may want to try alerting the coordinator to the situation. Now to answer your questions as best I can: >1. Somebody who asked IBM tech support about installing a larger hard drive >was told that the BIOS won't support a hard drive larger than 340 MB. Is >this true? And if it isn't, how do you configure the BIOS to recognize, >say, a 500 MB hard drive with x cylinders, y sectors, etc? The tech support is correct in that the BIOS has not been tested with anything larger than the 340MB drive that we offer. Also, as you know, there is a magic number (528 million bytes) imposed by current IDE drive interface spec. To go beyond that magic number would require changes to BIOS. As for drives between 340M and 528M, anything goes; the drive may work if the drive supports the IDE identity command that returns drive parameters such as cyls/sectors/heads. Please note however that your warranty will be void if your 750 fails (e.g. fuse blowout due to too much peak power drain) as a result of using an unsupported drive. >2.

Sorry but this is an OS/2 issue; as you know, the OS/2 development is in Boca Raton, FL - on the wrong side of the Pacific pond :) Your best bet might be to patch the OS/2 mouse driver.

Perhaps the technical reference manuals for individual chipsets (e.g. Intel 486SL, Western Digital WD90C24) might be better at describing the in-depth details that interest you.

Is there a way to turn the backlight off without turning off the LCD? >When I'm typing in the sunlight, I can see the screen just fine and I'd like >to save some power by turning off the backlight. I am afraid turning off the backlight would make the screen unreadable, the ambient light notwithstanding. The screen has to be of a type called 'transflective' to begin with, to make it feasible; it takes something like a half mirror which passes through backlight but at the same time reflects the incoming light to some degree. None of the 750 line features a transflective panel. (In case you are wondering why: just as a half mirror can't do as good a job of reflecting light as a normal mirror or of passing light as a transparent window, transflective mono LCDs are generally not quite as bright as normal backlit LCDs of comparable power consumption, because the reflecting part absorbs the backlight. To the best of my knowledge no manufacturer produces a transflective color LCD, because the color filters absorb so much light (approx. 2/3 - e.g. the Red filter blocks Green and Blue) that any reflected light, reduced to about 1/9 of the original intensity after passing through the filters twice, just isn't enough to make the screen readable.) >5.

One way to do this in DOS is to use APM BIOS. The APM specification version 1.1 (by Intel et al.) is on CompuServe PLUGPLAY forum; the 750 supports version 1.0 but if I remember correctly the battery status interface should be the same between 1.0 and 1.1. Please be careful about some of the APM BIOS calls that control system power state, as improper use of these calls can result in system crash (the APM BIOS calls were not meant to be used by two power managers). I am afraid that currently there is no easy way to do this in OS/2 without interfering with the operation of the standard power manager. Hope this answers your questions.

The cover covers the "removal" buttons, so you can't remove the card without great difficulty (getting that cover off is a *bear*--I've found the only way to do it easily is to open the keyboard, remove the hard drive, and push the little hook back). From what I understand, many of these cards require, when you suspend the machine, to be removed and plugged back in again to "revive"--is this true? If so, those removal buttons must be accessable.

I find that the PCMCIA cover is very easy to remove by inserting a paper clip into the little groove on the side of the cover. It seems to me that this groove was specifically put there for this purpose. If you can't find one, you could order part 66G4423 Paper Clip from IBM. heh heh.

Fortunatly, we have a great tech support guy in my department and he handled the whole thing. I actually couldn't begin to tell you what he did. I do know, however, that we originally loaded it through my regular config.sys file and it just took too much time to boot up - several minutes before it ran through all of the drivers. Also, DOS ram was in the lower 500 k range. (We have some special problems here at Penn State because I wanted to be able to use the University net system and it uses some rather antiquated and bulky drivers.) To make a long story short, we decided to use three boot files in the config.sys: Normal (PCMCIA drivers and WFWG), Net (3Comm drivers, PCMCIA drivers and WFWG - but WFWG not used as a server), and Games. This setup seems to be working fine. Also, we have not been able to figure out yet how to get the 3Comm driver to recognize the ports in the replicator. I have had to load the 3Comm card in the TP. Using EasyPlay, this was no problem. It recognized the 3Comm card by name in slot 4 (or 3) but of course doesn't have the information to configure the card. I would like to leave the 3Comm card in the replicator and not have to carry it in the TP as the only place I use the card is at work. So our tech support guy says he is going to try and work on this. Maybe IBM will come out with an updated version of EasyPlay that will support the 3Comm card. That would be nice. And then again, maybe it will take until Microsoft comes out with "Chicago" where (hopefully) all of these kinds of problems will go away. BTW, great job on the mailing list. I find it extremely helpful and interesting!

If so, those removal buttons must be accessable. I would tend to agree with you on the port covers. However, it seems that the port covers all have different degrees of difficulty and tightness. My closed one is nearly impossible to take off and I have to take a blunt but edged object to it (or try your approach). However, my open cover is really quite a snap...I just hope it's not such a snap it falls out! :) As far as requiring a hotplug....that's not really true as far as suspend mode goes. It's hibernation mode that usually does the trick for me.

If so, those removal buttons must be accessable. I agree with Randy, though I didn't even receive the cover with my TP. A friend has one and we both decided it was useless, so I never bothered to query IBM about it. I mean, as long as there's *some* opening dust is still going to get in, right? And I do have to eject my modem before going into suspend because sometimes it won't suspend if left in and even if it does it won't be recognizeable when the system is resumed. I take it this is a bug in the IBM drivers, like they are forgetting to turn the PCMCIA power back on when resuming (could it be that simple??) > I would have much preferred some sort of sliding cover (much like > the slider on the back for the docking station connector) which would > have allowed easier access and maintained protection.

There is a little notch at the rear of the cover and a fingernail of suitable length works everytime for me. And yes, I think a sliding cover would have been much better. Why do all laptops have such flimsy doors? I know weight is a consideration, but the door on the back of the TP would be a lot more durable if it were twice as thick and had metal pinned hinges. I've seen so many laptops with missing doors that have broken off and I'm afraid my TP will eventually suffer the same fate. --Bruce From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Thu Apr 28 14:46:27 1994 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by uxa.cso.uiuc.edu with SMTP id AA22711 (5.67b/IDA-1.5 for ); Thu, 28 Apr 1994 14:46:04 -0500 Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.8s-UTK) id OAA21906; Thu, 28 Apr 1994 14:44:37 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Thu, 28 Apr 1994 14:44:36 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from chaph.usc.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.8s-UTK) id OAA21887; Thu, 28 Apr 1994 14:44:32 -0400 Received: from aludra.usc.edu (whittle@aludra.usc.edu [128.125.253.134]) by chaph.usc.edu (8.6.8.1/8.6.4) with ESMTP id LAA07420; Thu, 28 Apr 1994 11:03:34 -0700 Received: (whittle@localhost) by aludra.usc.edu (8.6.8.1/8.6.7+ucs) id LAA03046; Thu, 28 Apr 1994 11:03:13 -0700 From: Randal Whittle Message-Id: <199404281803.LAA03046@aludra.usc.edu> Subject: Re: PCMCIA modem recomend To: stevens@watson.ibm.com (Andrew Stevens) Date: Thu, 28 Apr 1994 11:03:13 -0700 (PDT) Cc: TP750@CS.UTK.EDU In-Reply-To: <9404281649.AA26194@jimi.watson.ibm.com> from "Andrew Stevens" at Apr 28, 94 12:49:00 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL21] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Status: OR > >difficulty (getting that cover off is a *bear*--I've found the only way to > >do it easily is to open the keyboard, remove the hard drive, and push the > >little hook back). > > I find that the PCMCIA cover is very easy to remove by inserting a > paper clip into the little groove on the side of the cover.
