The 701 uses a DSP chip by Yamaha. Its a good chip, but its not an IBM MWave, and lacks the programmability to 28.8K that the MWave has.

Well I don't know about the tp-360, But I called (just in case it might work) ans asked about whether it would work with a tp701 and the guy said no. I figured as much, when I had a tp750 the drive was bigger and resided under the keyboard. On the tp701 the drive is much smaller and have its own little cartridge like case that snaps in (for those unfamiliar with the 701). It is a good deal though!!

Yes, this was fixed in a bios which was available when I got my 540meg more than a year ago.

Well I don't know about the tp-360, But I called (just in case it might work) ans asked about whether it would work with a tp701 and the guy said no. I figured as much, when I had a tp750 the drive was bigger and resided under the keyboard. On the tp701 the drive is much smaller and have its own little cartridge like case that snaps in (for those unfamiliar with the 701). It is a good deal though!!

Actually, as I understood it, it was that the DSP couldn't handle doing 28.8K while it was also doing sound (anyone want to comment on its ability to do 14.4K while doing sound? Can it?). It sounded as if the reason someone was interested in a PCMCIA card was so they *could* run the (PCMCIA) modem and still get sound at the same time, whereas the DSP couldn't do both tasks at once. >oh, i'm running linux. > >any help appreciated, And I know nothing about linux! ;-) Seems to me though that the linux users had more or less said that their wasn't a driver to run the DSP modem--at least not at 28.8K or something like that.

Kim" To: tp750@cs.utk.edu Subject: Report: Linux install on 701C Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII It took me nearly a day, but I finally got it running. I've got a 701C with 8MB and a 720MB hard drive. I also have IBM's PCMCIA ethernet card, so I decided to be different and try Red Hat's Linux distribution, v2.1. It supports installation over ftp if you have a supported ethernet adapter (including PCMCIA) and are on the Internet via ethernet. My first problems seemed to be memory related. Red Hat's installation requires at least 8MB RAM and an 8MB swap partition. I wanted to install a small copy of Linux so I could backup all the demo software that came with the 701. Catch-22. When will vendors start to ship large drives with two partitions? I couldn't get Novell TCP/IP for DOS to recognize the ethernet card, and I ended up accidently deleting most of the demo software. I gave up and formatted the entire drive. I noticed the external floppy was rather slow (3x-4x) at reading Linux boot disks (both Red Hat's and Slackware). After that, things went surprisingly smoothly. Red Hat's distrubution really does install via ftp. However, the ftp install doesn't give you the option to pick individual components from a series (I suspect the CD-ROM and hard drive installs do - they use an X interface), so I went with a minimal install of the basic and network series. I can always install the remaining components later, one by one via ftp. Avoid the dosemu series at this stage. It caused out-of-memory errors and hung the install. After Red Hat finished installing (the menus are friendlier than the Slackware distribution), it installed LILO, rebooted, and I got an "LI" before the computer locked up. I spent the last 15 hours trying to figure this one out. My configuration was a 250MB DOS partition, a 422MB Linux partition, and a 16MB Linux swapfile. I suspected it was a problem with the 720MB hard drive having more than 1024 cylinders, but none of the tried and true solutions to that problem helped. Eventually I figured it out - the 701's BIOS remaps the hard drive to <1024 cylinders. The Linux fdisk program will report 1400 cyl, 16 heads, 63 sectors, which I suspect is the true geometry. But if you run the dparam DOS program that comes with lilo, it'll report 699 cyl, 32 heads, 63 sectors. I had to give the boot floppy a hd=699,32,63 parameter, repartition, and reinstall, but it worked just fine after that. So if you're unsure of the disk geometry, grab the dparam.com and dparam.img DOS programs that come with lilo and run them first. If you don't get the geometry right the first time, your partitions will not fall on cylinder borders and you'll have to repartition and reinstall to fix it. Does anybody know what happens to those two extra cylinders at the end? Another reason I went with Red Hat is that their install scripts support upgrading - no more wondering what files are safe to delete if you install a new kernel or other software. I haven't had much chance to play with it yet, but it'll be worth it if this feature really works. Check out http://www.redhat.com if you're interested.

Do you have a URL (ftp and web) for the Debian distribution? The Red Hat distribution doesn't cost anything either unless you want direct email/phone support and/or a copy on CD-ROM. Their email mailing list is free too. I've played with it some more (well, reinstalled it :), and here's some more thoughts: The ftp install is unreliable. I don't know if this is because I only have 8MB, am using a PCMCIA ethernet card, or if it's a network problem. From my rather small sample of attempted installs, there's about a 50% chance the ftp install will fail. The basic and network series are pretty reliable, but the dosemu and X-Windows series almost always died. I ended up doing the following: Used the ftp install to get a minimal network-capable system running (one of these days I'll have to make a set of floppies that do this). Then I used this system to reformat the DOS partition as ext2, and ftp'd the entire Red Hat binary distribution (about 100MB) to it. I also ftp'd the images required for X installation to see if it'd work (it's only supposed to work with CD-ROM or NFS). ncftp 2.0 can ftp directory trees so I just did a 'get -R *' and watched TV for 20 minutes. Once the ftp finished, I reinstalled, this time specifying a hard drive install. Before the install started, I used a shell (conveniently provided) to mount the ftp'ed distribution in /mnt/cdrom -- the install expects the CD-ROM to be mounted there. It worked and I was able to start the X install. It's a neat install program, but with just 8MB and root system on ramdisk, it's very *very* slow. I aborted and restarted the text mode install, telling it to install everything. It took about 1h 45m. I suspect it'll go a lot faster if you have more RAM. Anyway, the X administrative tools (control-panel) are *very* nice. It has X programs for mounting disks, setting up the printer, adding users, modifying rc.d, etc. The install/remove/ update program is identical to the one used in the X install. It lists all the currently installed/not installed packages graphically (very Mac-like) and lets you add/inspect/delete them with a click of a button. It ran much faster without the ramdisk sitting in memory. The only downside was that the package descriptions weren't very good. Who cares. Now I can try each program and nuke it with a mouse click if I decide it's not worth keeping. :) All in all, I'd give it a thumbs up over Slackware just for the administrative tools. Be prepared for errors and a long wait if you have just 8MB though. The ftp install is pretty nifty for getting a base system up, but the hard drive or NFS install is probably the best way to go (if you want to pay you can buy a CD). (Someone at the lab asked me for help installing Linux, so I'm writing these primarily as notes to myself. I'm not trying to push Linux on the list. :) ___________________________________________________________________________ John H.

Don't forget that if you're using DOS, Windows 3.11, or OS/2 that you'll need to use a software package like EZ Drive or Disk Manager on drives that are larger than 528MB (1024 cylinders). Otherwise, FDISK will give you a shocking disk drive capacity measure ("14MB" on a 540MB drive, etc.), and won't allow you to partition the drive properly. Most new 2.5" drives are now above 540MB.

Price, hmmm... How about $10 more than Don's, so $110 - I want to give him some room. :) And if you don't like the XJack, I've also got an AT&T Keep-in-Touch 14.4 fax/modem for sale. Flash BIOS, it's own cellular thing (not sure if it's MNP10 or what), 3.5 years left on warranty, books, software, box, original receipt. ~$75.

Until that software is written for Linux, it is extremely doubtful that it will ever work under Linux. You'll be able to get the AT-command reply, but when you go to actually dial or something, the hardware part will time-out trying to connect to the (nonexistant) software part. A major bummer.

I wanted to buy the TP755CDV so that I can do overhead projector presentations, but have held off so far in case IBM comes out with a 760 (larger screen, 800x600, faster CDRom) with the same capability. Does anyone know if there is any chance of this? Also it is not obvious from the spec sheets whether there is a significant difference between the MPEG video capabilities of the two models. The 755CDV is said to have "enhanced video card provides video acceleration, composite in/out, motion video capture and overlay ..." The 760 is worded similarly "hardware assisted software motion video acceleration for fluid full-screen playback of MPEG 1, MPEG 2 ..." So my questions are, does the 760 have some extra hardware acceleration or not. And if it does, does it only need it for expanding an MPEG picture to fill the 800x600 screen size (which the 755CDV doesn't have). Or in other words, is the 755CDV capable of "fluid full-screen playback of MPEG 1 and MPEG 2" on it's little 640x480 screen with the 75MHz pentium that it comes with. I would welcome any comments which help me to make up my mind whether to wait or go ahead and purchase.

I am wondering if anyone experienced something like this before, and is there a solution. I believe I already got the latest AHA152X.ADD driver. Actually, I tried one from ftp.pcco.ibm.com and another one from adaptec's ftp site. I had problem with the drivers from both sites, however, the one >from ftp.pcco.ibm.com is worse. Also, I had to have two config.sys in order to accomodate two configuration, one with the CDROM, one without, since the os2cdrom driver would not load if the CDROM is not connected at boot time. Is this sound reasonable?

I know... I've asked them myself ;] I've got some inside contacts at IBM and (well, at least the story is consistent) there are no plans of delivering a 12.1" CV or CDV version of the 760 in the 'foreseeable future' due to a couple of issues: 1. There seems to be an engineering problem in getting the CV detachable back with the backlight design implemented in the 760 due to the small bezel surrounding the large LCD. 2. They've got a lot of 755's that they need to sell. (Osbourne, circle-slash) I've got a P75 755CDV and love it. I wouldn't hold out if I were you. One other tidbit... I would get a Logitech TrackMan Live and file the IR 'MindPath' that comes with the unit.

Mine only has 8MB, but I got it early this year and haven't touched the BIOS (don't know which version it is but it's an old one for sure) and the V.34 MWave software works fine for me. In fact, I'd call it better than average - it almost always connects at 28.8, long command strings are no problem at all, etc. Billy Y..

FYI: I just installed Windows 95 on my 750M (*) from a CD-ROM hooked to a New Media Bus Toaster PCMCIA SCSI card. No major problem to report. Of course, it is slow, but usable. Even with 12MB of RAM, it swaps a lot. MS-Office will probably be harder. I already have installed Linux several times though the same PCMCIA SCSI card. I have a boot disk with a special kernel integrating support for the Bus Toaster. Linux is much lighter than Win95. It does not have to swap, even with X-Windows on. (*) Yes, it is one of the first TPs that were shipped in France (where I was at that time). I spent a huge amount of time and effort trying to install Linux, until the 2.88 drive problem was solved :-( Cheers, Akira =============================================================================== National Institute of Bioscience and Human-Technology ... jeunesse...

It worked like a charm for two weeks, then I made the mistake of dialing my ISP using "pulse", rather than "tone". Of course this should work, but it caused the modem to die. Now all I hear is static when I attempt to dial -- sort of like the sound of an AM radio not tuned to a station. In the far distance I can hear a dial tone, but it's not loud enough for the modem to grab onto, thus I receive "no dialtone" messages. I called IBM and they walked me through possible solutions, but nothing worked, so back it goes for repairs. I'm sending to Easy Serve in Memphis. The tech rep said I should get the Thinkpad back in 3 days. Is this a realistic estimate, or typical IBM propaganda? Other than my MWave modem woes, the 760cd is an absolute dream. (All the other MWave functions work, incidentally).

In-Reply-To: Message-Id: X-Organization: Corporation for National Research Initiatives Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I'm one of the 701 owners, as you know. I'm not sure what i prefer about having our own 701-specific list, though i'm leaning toward preferring it. The main problem with staying on tp750 is what seems to be objections from people about non-75x-model postings. I don't think there are a lot of objections, but there have been a few explicit ones. (Though most of the objecting people may have resigned the list by now!-) Things get more difficult when the topic is linux-on-the-701, which is of primary interest to me. All this contributes to wanting a separate list. There are a few things balanced against that. One is that i like hearing about experiences with the other thinkpad models (particularly with linux), and think there is substantial crossover relevance, since the different models have some fundamental similarities. Another problem with the separate list is the impermanence of the one you'd be establishing - it would probably not be worth it to form a new list if it would have to dissolve after six months. However, i expect we could find a new home for it, at that point, if it catches on. So i'm not sure what to suggest, though i would certainly (and happily) subscribe, if such a list were created. (I initially intended to send this response only to you, john, but came to think that this discussion is of relevance to the tp750 list, particularly the question about what should and should not be included. I'd be real happy to get a definitive answer (or be reminded of the definitive answer, if i missed it when it went by, before now).)

Thinkpads cost a little more but this kind of service makes it more than worth it. You can pull the battery and disks when sending it in for this kind of problem (that doesn't involve them) which reduces the weight and thus the chance of any shock-induced damage, not to mention making sure they don't get lost.

Does anyone know if IBM uses a standard floppy interface in the TP's.... Basically what i want to do is hook up a tape backup thru the Docking Station's floppy connection on the back. I got the tape drive for free, but it is the kind that connects to an empty floopy connector. If anyone has done any kind of "okie rigging" to the Dock I, i'd like to talk to you. :) thanks P.S.

If really, really in a rush, you can even ship right away in your own box. I shipped my 755cx from southern CA to Memphis to have the LCD replaced, and got it back *THE SAME DAY*. I'm not joking. It's been several months and they haven't even charged me for the 9, which I gave concent for in the first place.

I've been trying for about three months. I'm having a terrible time and absolutely no success. I first tried to use the Slackware 2.3 disks right out of the box --- setting the "floppy=thinkpad" parameter along the way. I would then be able to bring up the "setup" program and begin installing disks. But the installations were never successful; sometimes "setup" itself would hang, other times I would load all my disks (60?) only to have the machine hang soon after I tried to run some application. (The most common error seems to have been some sort of swapper failure, although there have been others.) I've done this about two dozen times, with all the permutations I can think of. Then, two weeks ago, I discovered the "tp-bare" boot disk on the net. Unfortunately, I can't get this to work, either. I'm a literate Unix user and I've installed Linux on several other computers, but I seem to be missing something critical here. I suspect (hope?) it's due to the 2.88Mb floppy (I can never get the boot display to say anything other than "1.44", no matter what bootdisk I use.) The machine used to run OS/2 quite well (until I repartitioned the disk), so I suspect it's my fault, not the hardware's. Please feel free to flame me with "RTFM" --- just as long as you tell me where to find TFM and what sections I should R. Thanks for your time.

It makes things quite efficient. -Mike PS: For those of you who are unaware, EVERY FedEx package used to go through that Memphis depot. FedEx found it more efficient even if a package originated in L.A. and was destined for San Francisco.

I've got a TP701 and while I've not gotten the Direct Cable Connect to work with another TP701, I've gotten the IR port to work from a Term program. BAsically, pick a baud rate(57600) and use Zmodem. It works like a charm. I've never actually been able to get a good connect over 57600.

I just ran a comm program (both under Win95 and NeXTSTEP), set the speed to 2400, set the com port to the IR port (com1), and it worked.

That doesn't appear to exactly be true. I had to load 1.30 to use Win95 (and NeXTSTEP), and figured I'd load 1.40 cuz newer has to be better. After loading it and restarting, Win95 suddenly pops up and says "New hardware detected", and wanted me to insert a driver disk. Turns out it had discovered the MWave DSP, and of course I have no driver disk for that (*anyone* got that MWave for Win95 disk?). Now I cannot use the MWave modem under Win95 anymore. It just locks the computer up when I open COM2. The *good* news is though, now NeXTSTEP seems happier. I can now actually suspend the computer, besides the previously supported standby mode. Hibernate doesn't work, but I don't really care about that. Now I can actually close the lid while NeXTSTEP is running and not hang it! :-) --- Chris Osborn, Network Administrator Voice: 707 253 3130 Napa Valley College Fax: 707 253 3063 2277 Napa-Vallejo Hwy., Napa, CA, 94558 MIME ok, NeXTMail tolerated From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Tue Dec 12 22:34:52 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA24375; Tue, 12 Dec 95 22:34:52 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id WAA04090; Tue, 12 Dec 1995 22:34:14 -0500 Received: by cs.cs.utk.edu (bulk_mailer v1.3); Tue, 12 Dec 1995 22:33:41 -0500 Received: from nvc.cc.ca.us by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id WAA04031; Tue, 12 Dec 1995 22:33:38 -0500 Received: by nvc.cc.ca.us (NX5.67e/NeXT-2.0-FZ-2.2) id AA13837; Tue, 12 Dec 95 19:33:35 -0800 Received: from spigot by marauder.nvc.cc.ca.us (NX5.67e/NeXT-2.0-FZ-2.2) id AA00324; Tue, 12 Dec 95 19:32:31 -0800 Received: by spigot.marauder.nvc.cc.ca.us (NX5.67f2/NX3.0X) id AA00321; Tue, 12 Dec 95 19:32:14 -0800 From: "Chris Osborn" Date: Tue, 12 Dec 1995 19:32:13 PST Reply-To: fozztexx@nvc.cc.ca.us To: "Rev.

Under the 1.30 BIOS, closing the lid would cause NeXTSTEP to *try* to go into suspend mode, but it would just hang NeXTSTEP, because apparently the BIOS wasn't capable of dealing with 32bit mode. It seems that the 1.40 BIOS has fixed that. BTW, how do even disable just suspend mode anyway? --- Chris Osborn, Network Administrator Voice: 707 253 3130 Napa Valley College Fax: 707 253 3063 2277 Napa-Vallejo Hwy., Napa, CA, 94558 MIME ok, NeXTMail tolerated From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Tue Dec 12 23:55:28 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA28748; Tue, 12 Dec 95 23:55:28 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id XAA09866; Tue, 12 Dec 1995 23:54:28 -0500 Received: by cs.cs.utk.edu (bulk_mailer v1.3); Tue, 12 Dec 1995 23:53:23 -0500 Received: from tuna.mit.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id XAA09711; Tue, 12 Dec 1995 23:53:22 -0500 Received: (from jokim@localhost) by tuna.mit.edu (8.6.12/8.6.9) id XAA01870; Tue, 12 Dec 1995 23:53:33 -0500 Date: Tue, 12 Dec 1995 23:53:32 -0500 (EST) From: "John H.

Go to the power management utility (PS2.EXE under DOS, icons under the other two). One of the buttons there should be for suspend/resume options. Click it. One of the options will be a checkbox with "Suspend when lid is closed." If you toggle it, the machine will only go into standby mode when you close the lid. The Thinkpads determine if the lid is closed via a hardware switch. I'd really be surprised if NeXTSTEP knew about this switch and was trying to invoke suspend via APM on its own. Of course if the new BIOS fixes it, the point is moot. I just find it handy for using my old TP750 as an Internet-server-on-a-bookshelf, with the lid closed. ;) ___________________________________________________________________________ John H.

Now you get to answer a question for me. :) I presume you've tried the IR port under Netscape. Does it act like a normal serial port, i.e. point two at each other and they act like they have a null modem cable in between?

The computers think they are connected by a null modem cable. Its really eerie to think that all this data is flying back and forth under your nose in thin air. I'm curious what I would see with a CCD that was sensitive to IR.

Get out your video camera and look through the viewfinder. I stumbled across this while videotaping a family member some couple of years ago and they pointed a TV remote at me. Wow! is saw the light! ;-) And when my 701 came recently and I had no way of really testing whether the IR port worked (nothing to communicate with and it didn't seem to work with my HP 100LX), I dug out the video camera and looked through the viewfinder. You see little flashes of light, basically.

But if I delete all mwavefiles and reinstalls it, mwave200 is up and running again (without the daa_200d.exe though). --Harald Skotnes From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Thu Dec 14 05:45:26 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA18067; Thu, 14 Dec 95 05:45:26 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id FAA27345; Thu, 14 Dec 1995 05:44:47 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Thu, 14 Dec 1995 05:43:23 -0500 Received: from deneb.dfn.de by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id FAA27273; Thu, 14 Dec 1995 05:43:18 -0500 Received: from unixserv.rz.fh-hannover.de ([141.71.1.10]) by deneb.dfn.de (4.1/SMI-4.2) id AA01813; Thu, 14 Dec 95 11:42:53 +0100 Received: from bidnix.bid.fh-hannover.de by unixserv.rz.fh-hannover.de (AIX 3.2/UCB 5.64/4.03) id AA28285; Thu, 14 Dec 1995 11:42:23 +0100 Received: by bidnix.bid.fh-hannover.de (Linux Smail3.1.28.1 #1) id m0tQB3k-0005MtC; Thu, 14 Dec 95 11:38 MET Date: Thu, 14 Dec 1995 11:38:43 +0100 (MET) From: Hanno Wagner To: tp750@cs.utk.edu Subject: PCMCIA-Soundcard+SCSI-Adapter?

The mpeg demo tells you as it is installing that you must be running 800x600 65000 colors. Ok, I assume this is what I have and I also get the blank screen. Check the driver in windows setup, and it is set for 256. Set it to 65000 and bingo. BTW, I had ordered with OS/2 and win 3.11. I was told (several times) that I could not order with 95, in spite of their web page and other sources. But the machine did come with the 95 drivers and a booklet on how to upgrade. Installed 95 pretty much without a hitch. The only thing I have to figure out is the pcmcia stuff. Cards work with the 95 drivers, but the upgrade booklet describes specific drivers to load that I cannot find.

The text file within ftp://ftp.pcco.ibm.com/pub/mobiles/tpwin95.exe explains how to do this, but it sounds like you may have already tried this unsuccessfully. I know it worked for me... Here's the excerpt: 5.1.5. CD-ROM Device driver (ThinkPad 755CD or other CD-ROM model only) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows 95 comes with a generic ATAPI CD-ROM driver and it works with the ThinkPad integrated CD-ROM. However, DOS/Windows version of IBM CD-ROM driver is not removed, if you upgrade to Windows 95 beta from DOS/Windows with IBM CD-ROM driver loaded. The CD-ROM is still visible in this case but you lose speed and some functionality which Windows 95 generic ATAPI driver provides. The generic Windows 95 CD-ROM driver is automatically installed if you don't migrated from DOS/Windows or you migrated from DOS/Windows but without IBM CD-ROM driver. To make sure that you are using Windows 95 generic ATAPI CD-ROM driver, do the following steps. 1. Go to MS-DOS command prompt 2. Edit CONFIG.SYS 3. Look for IBMTPCD.SYS in CONFIG.SYS DEVICE=C:\xxxxxx\IBMTPCD.SYS /D:TPCD001 /P:170 /R (Note xxxxxx is the name of subdirectory where you installed the CD-ROM driver) If you find it, add "REM" before this statement to comment it out; save CONFIG.SYS. If you cannot find it or it's already REM'd out, quit and go to the next step. 4. Edit AUTOEXEC.BAT 5. Look for MSCDEX.EXE in AUTOEXEC.BAT C:\xxxxxx\MSCDEX.EXE /D:TPCD001 /M:15 (Note xxxxxx is the name of subdirectory where you installed the CD-ROM driver) If you find it, add "REM" before this statement to comment it out; save AUTOEXEC.BAT. If you cannot find it or it's already REM'd out, quit and go to the next step. 6. Exit DOS command prompt; Reboot the system. Make sure you're running a BIOS with Plug&Play support: 1.30 or 1.40. It probably helps to have the CD-ROM actually in the machine for the reboot, although strictly-speaking this shouldn't be necessary if PnP works right. ..Don Markuson dmarkuson@peritus.com From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Thu Dec 14 13:30:06 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA17005; Thu, 14 Dec 95 13:30:06 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id NAA02773; Thu, 14 Dec 1995 13:29:05 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Thu, 14 Dec 1995 13:27:50 -0500 Received: from omerie.ai.mit.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id NAA02658; Thu, 14 Dec 1995 13:27:47 -0500 Message-Id: Date: Thu, 14 Dec 95 13:27 EST From: cph@martigny.ai.mit.edu (Chris Hanson) To: gjacobs@qualcomm.com Cc: tp750@cs.utk.edu In-Reply-To: Msg of Thu, 14 Dec 1995 09:27:53 -0800 from "Gary E.

I get the use of all 4 with either a port replicator or the Dock II if I am to believe the Warp Plug and Play for PCMCIA thing. The only problem is NOT ENOUGH interrupts to use cards that need them if you are using the built-in ThinkPad features like the Mwave DSP stuff. If you turn off some of that stuff (Soundblaster ...) you might have sufficient interrupts. I actually have tested an IBM Voice Dictation PCMCIA card and a modem card in the Dock II PCMCIA sockets and I use an IBM PCMCIA SCSI card in one of the two port replicator sockets.

Make sure you have a jeweler's screwdriver. Lift the corners of the ///////// label and remove the screws underneath. Make sure you catch the nuts on the bottom. Then use the screwdriver to pry apart the left side of the case (oriented as it sits in the Thinkpad). The middle latches seem to be the easiest to pry apart. This can be tricky, especially the first time. Make sure you don't accidently jab the screwdriver into the case and scratch the drive electronics. After the left side is open, you can do the same for the right side (easier once the left side is free). BUT, :) I wouldn't recommend it if you have a 540 MB or larger drive. The Thinkpads seem to do all sorts of BIOS tricks to get the EIDE drives to work, and there's no guarantee a system installed from your dekstop will be bootable or usable. ___________________________________________________________________________ John H.

I've looked *everywhere* myself and come up empty... I've called IBM on several occasions over the past couple of weeks in reference to the Win95 32-bit MWave and they all claim ignorance (even the 2nd level comms specialists). I'm pissed that I've spent so much time chasing this white elephant. I don't know what the original poster found but it's unlikely that it was the Win95 MWave driver.

Kim" To: tp750@cs.utk.edu Subject: Linux: 16bpp video modes on TP701? Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII First, after playing with my 701 active matrix side by side with a monitor, I can state with a fair amount of certainty that the TFT is only capable of displaying 32k colors (5 bits per primary). The TFT shows obvious color gradient contour lines on finely shaded pictures. These lines match an external monitor in 32k color mode. The monitor produces finer contours in 64k and 16M color modes, but the TFT's display remains the same. So most of the time, running in 15bpp (32k color) mode should be sufficient. In fact, 15bpp can often be better than 24bpp since many apps will dither in the former mode but not the latter. Ok. I went and grabbed the alpha XFree86 CT65545 driver: ftp://ftp.biol.tsukuba.ac.jp/pub/X/XFree86/alpha/CT65545plus/ This is truly an alpha because it contains no documentation whatsoever. All it has is a sample XF86Config file for the Toshiba 610 (also CT65545). I'm new to all this business about dot clocks and wasn't able to get it to work. Has anyone else tried this? (I did succeed in scrambling my video. 95% of the time, I was able to recover by using Fn-F1 to enter the BIOS setup. Apparently this resets the video to a non-corrupt state.) I also tried the demo version of the X-inside commercial ($99) server: http://www.xinside.com This worked a little better. It came up in 640x480x8bit mode just fine. It was pretty obvious that this driver was faster than the generic XFree driver, as well it should be since it's supposed to use the accelerated features of the CT65545. But the 15bpp and 16bpp modes were disabled. The documentation said something about hi-color modes being RAMDAC-dependent, and that I should configure the server manually once I figure out the clocks and RAMDAC. So I got stuck again. I tried a DOS video probing utility and it reported the RAMDAC as "internal". No help there. I'd really like to get X running in 15bpp or 16bpp mode. If someone more familiar with this business of clocks can give me a hand, I'd be willing to write up the results and put it on my web site. __________________________________________________________________________ John H.

You don't *have* to have that software. The built in IR port just behaves like a serial port, and the JetEye just hooks into a serial port on the PC (or Mac or whatever). Any software you have that can make use of the serial port can do IR. --- Chris Osborn, Network Administrator Voice: 707 253 3130 Napa Valley College Fax: 707 253 3063 2277 Napa-Vallejo Hwy., Napa, CA, 94558 MIME ok, NeXTMail tolerated From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Fri Dec 15 02:56:44 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA27452; Fri, 15 Dec 95 02:56:44 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id CAA04407; Fri, 15 Dec 1995 02:56:12 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Fri, 15 Dec 1995 02:53:57 -0500 Received: from denver.ssds.com by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id CAA04112; Fri, 15 Dec 1995 02:53:55 -0500 Received: from freke.ssds.com (rem_den22.ssds.com [134.127.122.22]) by denver.ssds.com (8.6.9/8.6.9.SSDSnet-hub) with SMTP id XAA18646 for ; Thu, 14 Dec 1995 23:40:35 -0700 Message-Id: <2.2b8.32.19951215063759.00977244@denver.ssds.com> X-Sender: cds@denver.ssds.com (Unverified) X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.2b8 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Fri, 15 Dec 1995 00:37:59 -0600 To: tp750@cs.utk.edu From: "Chris Liljenstolpe (Swanson) - SSDS" Subject: Mwave2.00 and Win95 overcommited Greetings, I have been running the MWave 2.0 code on Win95 and my Thinkpad 755CE for some time, but all of a sudden am getting "MWave overcommitted" errors upon starting up a PPP session (I was doing this before with no problems).

Actually (and I can't remember the source--think it was an IBM guy who worked on the 701's that John referred me to), the 701 screen supposedly does 256K colors in the 16.7M color mode. As for me, I just run it in 32K colors generally--looks quite beautiful to me, but then I save the desktop publishing for a separate desktop machine (where I run in 16.7M colors & higher resolutions). Oddly enough, the 701 Manual (or some associated document) suggests that running in 32K color mode as opposed to 256 color mode extends the battery life slightly.

Hi all, Anyone had any luck using a 3rd party ISA card for 1024x768x16bpp or higher in a Dock II with an external monitor (of course). I'm looking at an ATI 4Meg SVGA board (ISA) that does 16-24bpp at 1280x1024. I'm just wondering how much slower I can expect the video will be using the 16bit bus over the 32-bit?

Basically for an unaccelerated card, Local bus was critical, but acceleration on the card itself made far more of a difference than whether it was local bus or not. My guess is you're looking at an ATI card that uses the Mach 64 chip. If so, I highly doubt you'll be disappointed by its performance, even if its ISA. ----- ____________________________ Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu | WWW Home Page: | USC Graduate School of Business (Fight on 'SC!)| http:// | "Did you really think you could call up the | www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle/| Devil and ask him to behave?" ---------------------------- -Fox Mulder on T.V.'s "X-Files" speaking to an occult practitioner From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Sat Dec 16 06:18:08 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA21253; Sat, 16 Dec 95 06:18:08 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id GAA08643; Sat, 16 Dec 1995 06:10:01 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Sat, 16 Dec 1995 06:07:22 -0500 Received: from kalypso.cybercom.net by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id GAA08564; Sat, 16 Dec 1995 06:07:19 -0500 Received: from death-star (chan4@scunix4.harvard.edu [140.247.31.44]) by kalypso.cybercom.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id CAA29388 for ; Sat, 16 Dec 1995 02:27:29 -0500 Message-Id: <2.2b7.32.19951216072127.00735ec4@pop.fas.harvard.edu> X-Sender: chan4@pop.fas.harvard.edu X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.2b7 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Sat, 16 Dec 1995 02:21:27 -0500 To: tp750@cs.utk.edu From: "Derek V.

I don't believe there is any way to physically hook up MIDI cables and control musical instruments with it (perhaps a PCMCIA card?). But the drivers to play MIDI should have come with your machine. Oh, and the 750--it doesn't play MIDI files very well. Sounds *very* "tinny" (i.e. like the sound is coming out of a tin can).

When I had an 8 bit card, their interest in new drivers and support seemed to evaporate the moment they hit the 32. Same again when they made the 64 - they have yet to update their unimpressibe drivers for Lose95 and the Mach32 series. I understand that their money isn't made supporting little ol' me who paid $325 for the Ultra Pro several years ago, but that doesn't make it less annoying.... I'd take a long look at some alternatives before I bought another ATI. It's been reliable, but not impressive.

Hi all, I'm anxious to buy and have business needs for IBM's new 760CD 120Mhz Pentium ThinkPad. However, although it has been announced, it appears IBM hasn't even assigned a part number to this model yet and I'm curious if anyone here has heard when the 760CD-120 might become available?? I hope this isn't another of IBM's famous "announce it now...ship 6 months from now...maybe" marketing plans. ;-) I'm also interested to know if anyone has received a new 760 with Win95 pre-loaded instead of the usual OS/2-Win3.1 setup. I know IBM is offering the Win95 option in their sales literature, but I've heard rumors that no one has seen a Win95 based 760 ship yet or will ever see one ship. Comments? I'd appreciate your feedback.

From: eyrich@zedat.fu-berlin.de (Christoph Eyrich) Date: Sun, 17 Dec 1995 00:36:20 +0100 (MET) It seems that Adaptec does not provide an os2 driver for the 1460 PCMCIA- SCSI adapter (I couldn't find it on their ftp site). What driver do those of you running Warp use? Under Warp, you should install SCSI support for the AHA-152x adapter, then replace the file "\os2\boot\aha152x.add" with the updated version available from the adaptec ftp site. The updated driver is stored in the "os2" directory -- I think the full path is "/pub/BBS/os2/" or something similar. Caveat: The current version of the driver on their site has a serious bug -- if you boot the machine and the card isn't plugged in, OS/2 will crash with a trap. Adaptec claims that they are working on a fix. The previous version of the driver did not have this bug, but it doesn't work on some recent machines (in particular, the TP760); I've been using the previous driver for many months on a TP755C with no trouble. If you want the previous driver, let me know and I'll put it on our ftp site.

You will need XFree 3.1.2 and the beta-released SVGA server from XFree 3.1.2A. Prior to this release, you will be stuck with VGA support.

Once you are upgraded to this software, I can supply you with a config file that works (generated by my friend Hardy Meyer for his 760C).

Date: Mon, 18 Dec 95 08:57:00 EST Message-Id: <30D57376@coursmtp.nrc.ca> Encoding: 51 TEXT X-Mailer: Microsoft Mail V3.0 I've been using my TP750C with MIDI for over one year to interact with an electronic keyboard. The hardware that I bought to interface the TP750 with the keyboard was the MENOTE parallel/MIDI interface box. It hooks into the parallel port of the TP750 using a standard parallel cable. It then allows MIDI IN and MIDI OUT to MIDI devices like the keyboard. The MENOTE box must be plugged into the parallel port when you boot Windows (or WIN95) so that the drivers initialize correctly. You can then use Windows software to send MIDI code to the MIDI device or alternatively, "record" MIDI information output from the keyboard. I bought the device for about $100US and would highly recommend it as an excellent entry-level device into the world of electronic music generation/recording. If you want more information, E-mail me.

I don't believe there is any way to physically hook up MIDI cables and control musical instruments with it (perhaps a PCMCIA card?). But the drivers to play MIDI should have come with your machine. Oh, and the 750--it doesn't play MIDI files very well. Sounds *very* "tinny" (i.e. like the sound is coming out of a tin can). I was pleasantly surprised with the MIDI sound the 701 was capable of though. ----- ____________________________ Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu | WWW Home Page: | USC Graduate School of Business (Fight on 'SC!)| http:// | "Did you really think you could call up the | www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle/| Devil and ask him to behave?" ---------------------------- -Fox Mulder on T.V.'s "X-Files" speaking to an occult practitioner From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Mon Dec 18 09:44:03 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA29559; Mon, 18 Dec 95 09:44:03 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id JAA15235; Mon, 18 Dec 1995 09:43:26 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Mon, 18 Dec 1995 09:42:55 -0500 Received: from rigel.lmt.com by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id JAA15176; Mon, 18 Dec 1995 09:42:53 -0500 Received: from Leonardo.LMT.Com by rigel.lmt.com with SMTP id AA04953 (5.67b/IDA-1.5 for ); Mon, 18 Dec 1995 08:42:23 -0600 Received: from LEONARDO/SMTPQUEUE by leonardo.lmt.com (Mercury 1.13); Mon, 18 Dec 95 8:42:24 GMT-6 Received: from SMTPQUEUE by LEONARDO (Mercury 1.13); Mon, 18 Dec 95 8:42:20 GMT-6 From: "Chris Schumann" Organization: LaserMaster Technologies R&D Divn.

I'm amazed at what it CAN do, but I'm not amazed with how it sounds, or the load on the system when in use. I happen to have a Yamaha MIDI tone generator that connects to the serial port, and doubles as a MIDI interface to other instruments.

(press the Start button, whatever). it seems like you want MWAVE to have to spit out at least one WAV sound before using the 28.8 modem (perhaps so it loads the WAV sound code first?) 2) do _not_ trigger any sound events while the modem is dialing and negotiating a carrier; i.e. patiently wait and don't be mouse clicking while the modem is connecting. once you are fully connected, then continue your work. 3) i think i have had worse luck when i try using modem/sound together after i bring the machine up out of "hibernate" mode than when i do a "real" power up (i.e. give a chance for MWAVE to boot up clean). hope this helps you out. i have actually been very please with my sound capabilities while running the V.34 modem; it actaully works better for me than the older version of the MWAVE software did running just a 14.4 modem.... (back then i could not run any MIDI with the modem, but with the new MWAVE software even MIDI works while I am using the modem at 28.8, just with a reduced number of simultaneous voices).

The mouse pointer seems to have a mind of its own and starts running up or left on the screen at what seems to be random times. This only happens when the trackpointer and the MS mouse are connected/enabled at the same time. Machine/environment: 755CD, Dock II, MS mouse, Win95. If I disable the trackpointer (requires reboot), the problem goes away. So, does anyone know of a fix for this problem?

I am using Win 95 and also have an 810 HD. The only problem I have with this is a delay in opening menus and slowed mouse control when connecting at 28.8. If I connect at 14.4 there isn't a problem. The problem I have encountered is with the enhanced video drivers. Whenever I install them it cuts out my modem and sets the screen to 16 colors. Then when I go to activate the enhance video driver it says the driver is not installed. Seems to be a few hangups here, and unfortunately, the problems don't look consistent. Oh yeah, I'm also having the "drifting mouse" problem. I'll be in an application and it will start to drift off on its own. It doesn't seem to be with any particular application that I've noted and is not related to a docking station - don't have one. I do have a port replicator though, and here the mouse behavior is rather odd. The response seems to be delayed and a little off the mark, and sometimes will suddenly do multiple clicks of the mouse after only pressing it once.

That gives you a "virtual desktop". Nope. Doesn't work on my 755C. When you click "apply" windows give a message to the effect that the larger window resolution is not supported.

Luckily everything went back to normal after I re-flashed 1.30. What improvements (theoretically) does 1.40 bring? Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Just thought I'd mention that my system is *also* a 755cx with 40MB of memory. Maybe I'll have to go back to 1.30. I was hoping 1.40 would fix some of the problems NeXTSTEP has with the BIOS, but I don't think they did, and 1.40 is just causing more problems than it's worth. --- Chris Osborn, Network Administrator Voice: 707 253 3130 Napa Valley College Fax: 707 253 3063 2277 Napa-Vallejo Hwy., Napa, CA, 94558 MIME ok, NeXTMail tolerated From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Tue Dec 19 12:45:48 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA19687; Tue, 19 Dec 95 12:45:48 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id MAA17099; Tue, 19 Dec 1995 12:40:51 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Tue, 19 Dec 1995 12:39:59 -0500 Received: from ben.britain.eu.net by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id MAA16901; Tue, 19 Dec 1995 12:39:56 -0500 Received: from qtlon.quantime.co.uk by ben.britain.eu.net via UKIP with SMTP (PP) id ; Tue, 19 Dec 1995 17:31:27 +0000 Received: from tiree.quantime.co.uk (tiree) by quantime.co.uk; Tue, 19 Dec 1995 17:27:32 GMT Message-Id: <5202.199512191732@tiree.quantime.co.uk> Received: from lajudd.quantime.co.uk by tiree.quantime.co.uk; Tue, 19 Dec 1995 17:32:08 GMT X-Sender: ajudd@tiree.quantime.co.uk X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.1.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Tue, 19 Dec 1995 17:35:31 -0500 To: TP750@cs.utk.edu From: Alex Judd Subject: Introduction time...

They have a demo version you can try at their web site: http://www.vocaltec.com The demo worked at half duplex under Win3.1 on my 750 with 12MB and an ethernet card. I don't know about full duplex or newer versions. (The demo limits you to 1 minute of speaking time) ___________________________________________________________________________ John H.

I'm pretty sure The 760CD-120 was part of IBM's annoucement some time ago, but I haven't heard anything since. I have seen the 120Mhz upgrade listed for the 760CD-90Mhz (for about $1250 retail) and believe IBM has assigned a part number for this "product". I really have need for this machine (for our business), but don't want to wait until next summer to see it. If I knew for sure that the 120Mhz CD version won't be available for a few months, I'd buy the 760CD-90 and update the processor later. The non-CD 120Mhz versions obviously don't come with the CD, but also don't have the advanced video feautures of the CD models (which I really want).

I accomplished what IBM indicated was "impossible with the ThinkPad architecture". I successfully installed and configured an ISA, 3rd party graphics adapter in my Dock II. I now have 1280x1024x8bpp, 1024x768x16bpp, 800x600x24bpp and 640x480x32bpp with my 755CDV (& external monitor) operational in Win 95. This was needed because I give presentations in 16-bit color, however, I needed a large desktop to create the presentations with the desired color depth so I didn't have to undock or reboot windows to see what they would look like at the 16bpp level. I tried several display adapters (the hard part was finding high-performance ISA display cards). The following cards worked: * Hercules Dynamite Pro 2MB - 87Hz *interlaced* at 1024x768x16bpp, however (Back it went) ;-\ * STB Nitro 64 2MB - Use the drivers that ship with Win95, not the Win95 drivers that come with the card - compatibility issues. At $189 it's a keeper! I get faster performance from the Nitro through an ISA bus than I do with the internal VLB WD driver on the flat-panel! The following didn't work at all: Any display card made by ATI. I tried 3 different ones and nearly every case the system wouldn't even boot! I don't want to bore everyone on the list with any more info, however, if you are interested, e-mail me and I'll tell you how I did it and give some tips on how to make the installation go smoothly in Win95.

I can get it to work only at the fallback (read "s-l-o-w") bi-directional speed; when I try to force it into EPP mode (DEVICE=TSCSI.SYS /M08), it no longer recognizes the interface. I've tried using the PS2 configurator to enable the Parallel port into EPP mode as LPT2, but this doesn't seem to be a choice for LPT1. What am I missing? (This is under DOS/Win 3.1. Under Win95 I'm still stuck at a more basic level: Win95 recognizes the device, installs some drivers, and after a reboot or two claims it's working fine, but *never* has it succeeded in noticing anything on the SCSI bus, namely a hard drive and CD-ROM.) Any assistance would be appreciated. ..Don Markuson dmarkuson@peritus.com From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Wed Dec 20 18:20:29 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA19199; Wed, 20 Dec 95 18:20:29 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id SAA28510; Wed, 20 Dec 1995 18:18:36 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Wed, 20 Dec 1995 18:14:38 -0500 Received: from vmedia.com by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id SAA28149; Wed, 20 Dec 1995 18:14:28 -0500 Received: from lgate.vmedia.com by vmedia.com (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4 kells.vmedia.com) id SAA02050; Wed, 20 Dec 1995 18:11:33 -0500 Received: by lgate.vmedia.com (IBM OS/2 SENDMAIL VERSION 1.3.2)/1.0) id AA0429; Wed, 20 Dec 95 18:10:47 -0800 Message-Id: <9512210210.AA0429@lgate.vmedia.com> Received: from ITP with "Lotus Notes Mail Gateway for SMTP" id 8FF993A7BBE36F2385256298004DA6D0; Wed, 20 Dec 95 18:10:45 To: Paulo Magalhaes Cc: tp750 From: Michael Verne/VENTANA Date: 20 Dec 95 9:08:58 EDT Subject: Re: Internet Phone on TP750 X-Lotus-Type: Reply w/Signature Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain "....Has anyone tried VocalTec's Internet Phone on a 750?

Takes a bit of playing around, but I manged it OK. It's a bit of a cop-out as it involves transfering lost of the CD to HD before install, but does work. Will forward the doc I have on how to do it next mail. The TCP/IP OS-2 stuff is provided on disk, and does work correctly. The files to look at are \IBMCOM\PROTOCOL.INI and the \IBMCOM\MACS dircectory. If you have a specific driver for your network card, it will be placed in the MACS directory, and then PROTOCOL.INI should be modified to match. Best way to do this is re-run TCP/IP LAPS once you have it copied to the relevant directory. As a point of interest the SMC8000 drivers provided with OS-2 are REALLY BAD, so use the ones from SMC instead (they work). If you have problems with your TCP/IP disks, LAPS or NFS disks, let me know, and I'll see if I can help ;) Alex At 10:27 21/12/95 +0800, you wrote: >Hi, > >Any help on R.

While HyperTerm is more sophisticated, I found it to be overkill for simple testing stuff like this. ..Don Markuson dmarkuson@peritus.com From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Thu Dec 21 09:34:07 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA18088; Thu, 21 Dec 95 09:34:07 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id JAA27580; Thu, 21 Dec 1995 09:25:38 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Thu, 21 Dec 1995 09:23:47 -0500 Received: from cosmail2.ctd.ornl.gov by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id JAA27410; Thu, 21 Dec 1995 09:23:45 -0500 Received: from bnme (bnme.ctd.ornl.gov [128.219.152.138]) by cosmail2.ctd.ornl.gov (8.7.1/8.7.1) with SMTP id JAA08630; Thu, 21 Dec 1995 09:23:04 -0500 (EST) Date: Thu, 21 Dec 1995 09:23:04 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199512211423.JAA08630@cosmail2.ctd.ornl.gov> X-Sender: bnm@cosmail2.ctd.ornl.gov X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.1.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: kevin@iss.nus.sg, tp750@cs.utk.edu From: "Brooks N.

The drive itself is not marketed as "portable", but it is smaller than a dictionary - thus portable enough for my purposes (I also share it with my desktop machine). I would assume you could do the same with any external drive (Parallel Port, SCSI, ...) provided it was compact enough and had OS/2 drivers.

By first copying these diskettes, then making the changes to them to use the drivers that come with the CD (the OS/2 installation diskettes don't seem to support _that_ many CDROM drives), you can then install OS/2 from the CDROM easily. >The TCP/IP OS-2 stuff is provided on disk, and does work correctly.

I believe MPTN may be available separately. Warp Connect comes with TCP/IP Ver 3, which seems to be primarily Ver 2 with all the CSD's applied plus MPTN replacing LAPS. I thought I recently saw an IBM announcement that TCP/IP Ver 3 was available separately - originally it was only available as part of Warp Connect. Hope this helps.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain Has anyone gotten Warp Connect to install on a 760CD? The problem I'm having (after figuring out that the instructions IBM gave for Warp didn't totally apply to Connect and I needed to copy the entire Connect CD to a temporary partition) is that after the first reboot, the screen goes blank. There still seems to be disk activity when I hit the return key. It's as if Warp Connect thinks I have a weird video card and programmed it so it's blank. Windows95 had the same problem initially, but after rebooting, it figured out what it did wrong and finished the install. Win95 did figure out that the machine had a Trident accelerator chip and went into 256 color mode automatically. NT wants me to build boot diskettes off the CD which is kind of an oxymoron because both diskette drive and CD drive can't be installed at the same time. Anyone gotten around this NT feature? Finally, now that Win95 is installed, how do you get back to the initial Dual Boot system w/ Win3.11 and Warp? Having lots of fun as you can see, so any suggestions would be appreciated. Luckily, I backed up the hard disk into a tar file before all this :-) thanks, ken From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Thu Dec 21 10:04:09 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA19295; Thu, 21 Dec 95 10:04:09 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA00759; Thu, 21 Dec 1995 10:01:29 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Thu, 21 Dec 1995 10:00:45 -0500 Received: from nile.gnat.com by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA00680; Thu, 21 Dec 1995 10:00:42 -0500 Received: by nile.gnat.com (5.0/1.20) id AA15741; Thu, 21 Dec 95 09:54:54 EST Date: Thu, 21 Dec 95 09:54:54 EST From: dewar@gnat.com (Robert Dewar) Message-Id: <9512211454.AA15741@nile.gnat.com> To: ajudd@quantime.co.uk, bnm@ornl.gov, kevin@iss.nus.sg Subject: Re: OS/2 + portable CD Cc: tp750@cs.utk.edu ">Just to let you know that there is a way to install OS-2 using the internal >CD-ROM on a TP755CD.

This is an IBM documented procedure, that came with my TP755CD, and was quite straightforward, I have forgotten how I did it, and now someone else has my 755CD so I cannot look, but certainly I did not have to transfer lots of the CD to HD before the install, because I had no CD drivers till the install was underway.

I will be receiving my 755cx/24/810/800x600/MWave soon. As I am preparing my 360ce for transfer into the less demanding hands of my brother, I have a question: When I got the 360, I wiped the drive clean and installed only IBM's VESA drivers prior to installing Win95. Everything has worked without a hitch. I do have one qualm though. Win95 seems to AUTOMATICALLY switch the processor to one of its slower speeds whenever the power source is not AC. I rarely use the machine for anything other than word crunching when it's running on the battery, so this never bothered me. However, my brother may want to do more on the go. How do I change the power features under '95 so that it will stay zippy under battery power? Thanks guys! -Mike --- Michael Klenner mdk1143@is.nyu.edu mklenner@pacificnet.net http://pages.nyu.edu/~mdk1143 --- From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Thu Dec 21 13:51:56 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA04226; Thu, 21 Dec 95 13:51:56 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id NAA17646; Thu, 21 Dec 1995 13:49:24 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Thu, 21 Dec 1995 13:48:28 -0500 Received: from nile.gnat.com by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id NAA17555; Thu, 21 Dec 1995 13:48:24 -0500 Received: by nile.gnat.com (5.0/1.20) id AA19226; Thu, 21 Dec 95 13:43:00 EST Date: Thu, 21 Dec 95 13:43:00 EST From: dewar@gnat.com (Robert Dewar) Message-Id: <9512211843.AA19226@nile.gnat.com> To: crumrine@usa.net, harald@staff.cs.uit.no Subject: Re: 760cd upgrade to 120 Cc: tp750@cs.utk.edu I doubt you can do it yourself, the 29H number will be for the case where the upgrade is done by a qualified IBM service center (carry in) From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Thu Dec 21 15:40:53 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA12196; Thu, 21 Dec 95 15:40:53 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id PAA25400; Thu, 21 Dec 1995 15:33:21 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Thu, 21 Dec 1995 15:30:57 -0500 Received: from wired.com by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id PAA25264; Thu, 21 Dec 1995 15:30:50 -0500 Received: (from kensey@localhost) by wired.com (8.7.3/8.7.3) id MAA26197; Thu, 21 Dec 1995 12:28:26 -0800 (PST) Date: Thu, 21 Dec 1995 12:28:25 -0800 (PST) From: Doug Fairclough To: "Dennis J.

Just a wild shot in the dark here, but maybe your Thinkpad simply remains set to whatever you last set it with the Thinpad Fule program. Seems to be that way when I run Linux -- Linux knows nothing about my 755cx's power management featrues, yet they still seem to work just as they did the last time I ran DOS/Windoze.

I don't know about the 755CD's interal CD drive, but I run Linux on my 755cx and have no problem with the PCMCIA support. I use on-demand loadable modules -- they drivers are not part of the kernel but are loaded automatically when a card is inserted. I've used a DRAM memory card, SCSI, modem, and Ethernet cards all w/o any kind of special drivers. Truly "plug'n'work". I also run X. I can't possibly imagine what Elf would have to do with it. It's merely an object-file format. The code that gets executed is the same as the "normal" a.out format.

I am using the Caldera Desktop Preview II with RedHat as Distribution. I have via NFS mounted the CD-ROM from another Linux-Machin and used my PCMCIA-Ethernet-Card to the net. Caldera (with ELF-Format) automatically detected the PCMCIA-Card and mounted without problem. Also X is no problem with the correct XF86Config.

Not exactly sure what that means. But they told me that it was too costly an upgrade like you said. I noticed, just FYI, the the video featured disk says that the Color TP750 can support 32k color but the 750 mono cannot on external monitors. I forget to ask the technical support if this was a reason for not being able to upgrade. Does anyone know what's up with this? I thought both had the same video card.

This is what photographers do to keep the higher humidity inside buildings from condensing on the cold, inner parts of photographic equipment. I think this might be worth doing if your Thinkpad has gotten really cold.

It looks like the autosense routines are touching something they shouldn't be. I hooked up a Sony multisync monitor to verify that it lost sync at this time as well. :-( FYI, to install NT 3.51 using only the CDROM drive, there is a switch in the \i386\winnt.exe program that will copy all the files to a temporary area on your hard drive and reboot and do the install. I just wish that Microsoft had accepted OS/2's Boot Manager as being better because it doesn't require the OS to be on primary partitions. The way I have it set up currently is that it goes to Boot Manager, then to the NT boot menu, then to Win95. Oh well, I digress...this doesn't work...

From: Kenneth Yee/CAM/Lotus Date: 22 Dec 95 9:58:28 EST Well, it looks like I'm stuck. Both Warp Connect and NT go to a gray screen after the first reboot during the install. I don't know about NT, but I installed Warp Connect on a TP760C last month. The only tricky part is the juggling to get the video to work right, which is described in a little pamphlet included with the machine, and which requires a special floppy containing patches to the drivers. The problem: the command file on the floppy that installs the patches is buggy, and doesn't work with Connect; I worked around this by executing the commands manually -- it's just a few file copies. Possibly this is what happened to you -- when the command file fails, it doesn't report any errors, so it appears to have succeeded. Afterwards, when the machine reboots, your video doesn't work right, because the patches were never installed.

The wires are different inside the socket, so you need an adaptor to convert the US socket in the Thinkpad to the UK socket. The frequencies for the dialtones are different, as are the length and duration of tone and pulse dialing, hence the country selection in the MWAVE software.

I was wondering if you need to use a different 32 bit disk access driver for Windows 3.1x for enabling 32 bit disk access using a 540+ E-IDE hard drive. I'm thinking of purchasing a 810 Toshiba slimline and initially I'll have to install Win 3.1x. I know that Win95 supports 32 bit disk access automatically but Win3.1x supposedly needs an updated 32 bit disk access driver to use it. Can anyone confirm this for me? What drivers are people using for enabling 32 bit access under Win3.1x with a larger drive? Also, I've noticed that all the sources for the tp75x faqs are gone including Don's Thinkpad page. The other site: ftp://assistant.beckman.uiuc.edu/wasserman/thinkpad/tp75x.FAQ also has disappeared. Could anyone refer to me a site where I can take a look at the faq? I need some instructions for replacing a drive using an existing TP plasitic caddy.

I have finnally given up on waiting for Win95 to take its sweet time loading anything on my punny 8 megs, so I want to buy a 16 meg card. I know this has been discussed before, but I'm now a little confused on what "parity" means... Which cards will work on my 'Pad? I did a quick phone poll of about 6 companies and found that the cheapest I could get was about $670 This is much higher than what someone on the list mentioned a while ago, right? Could someone forward the address of some vendor with a decent price? I can't really afford those prices on a grad student budget :) BTW: If someone needs a cheap 170meg HD in its original IBM case, let me know since I have one just sitting around... Thanks in advance!

The Li-ion battery itself looks like a hard drive except bigger, with these notches on one corner edge on the bottom. > What do you need to have a second hard disk in a 760? This made my gripe list in my upcoming 760CD summary. You have to have this special holder for it to snap into their "ultrabay". The thinking is on the lines of the battery bezel. This thing holds the drive so it doesn't rattle around in the huge area devoted to the CDROM drive. Of course, this isn't included (no idea on cost). I also can't hook a real keyboard to it unless I get this mouse Y cable :-( It's too bad IBM doesn't have the bay cartidges like Compaq does; I think the way IBM did it allows them to make the system smaller. ken p.s., I finally got Win95, NT 3.51, and Warp Connect on it. Trident must have screwed up the VGA compatibility on the video chip. It also can boot into the original Win3.1 and Warp install. :-) From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Sun Dec 24 16:44:09 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA00298; Sun, 24 Dec 95 16:44:09 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id QAA06907; Sun, 24 Dec 1995 16:43:27 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Sun, 24 Dec 1995 16:39:26 -0500 Received: from yfn2.ysu.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id QAA06605; Sun, 24 Dec 1995 16:39:25 -0500 Received: (from ae547@localhost) by yfn2.ysu.edu id QAA03743 (8.6.12/IDA-1.6); Sun, 24 Dec 1995 16:40:13 -0500 Date: Sun, 24 Dec 1995 16:40:13 -0500 Message-Id: <199512242140.QAA03743@yfn2.ysu.edu> From: ae547@yfn.ysu.edu (Ronda Hauben) To: tp750@cs.utk.edu Subject: Re: subscription request Reply-To: ae547@yfn.ysu.edu Has anyone installed any version of linux on a tp755 CD pentium 75 Mhz with a 1.2 gig harddrive?

Followed by some questions, for the wise.] Hi, I finally got Linux to install on my TP755, and I thought I'd share my experience, so that other could avoid spending several days at it. (0) My machine is a TP755CE, 8MB mem, 810MB disk, 2.88MB floppy. (1) I started with the Slackware 3.0 distribution, and found that, while I could get my Thinkpad to read the boot diskette, I could not, for the life of me, get it to read the root diskette -- it consistently complained about a read failure. (2) So I hunted around, and found the "minilinux" distribution -- a Linux which fits onto 4 floppy disks and unzips into your ms-dos filesystem. (3) I unpacked it, and fired it up. No sweat. Then I verified that I could indeed read the root floppy, by mounting it onto my machine on /dev/fd0. Again, no sweat. (4) Using the kernel in this distribution, I modified the "linux.bat" boot file and used it to boot the installation root-disk. Note that I did *not* use the installation *boot*-disk. (5) I installed as normal. However, there was *one* quirk. As others have related, the 810MB disk is a 784-cylinder, 32-head, 63-sector, disk. To boot the kernel for installation, though, you have to tell it: hd=1571,16,63 floppy=thinkpad [I also added "aha152x=0x340,11,7,1" for my Thinkpad Dock II SCSI CDROM] But when you now go and use Linux FDISK to partition your disk and set it up for Linux filesystem and swap, if you do a "v" (verify), it will complain *vociferously* about the partition table being inconsistent. The problem is that FDISK is using the current disk geometry, which you just set above to an erroneous value (since the disk has 32 heads, as you can verify if you use dparam.com (which you can find in the LILO distribution). SOOOOOO.... The right way to do this is ... fire up fdisk, and *before* partitioning, do: (a) drop into expert mode (x RET) (b) set the number of heads to 32 (h RET 32 RET) (c) set the number of cylinders to 784 (c RET 784 RET) (d) return to normal mode (r RET) (e) now partition away ! (6) Now you can install Linux, but [NOTE WELL] do *NOT* install LILO on the Master Boot Record (MBR) of your disk. Put LILO onto the boot-record of the Linux Filesystem partition you created. You will need to specify the same options that you did for booting the installation diskettes -- i.e., a *fake* disk geometry. You will find that LILO does *not* boot correctly. You will need to edit /etc/lilo.conf, and add lines like: disk = /dev/hda heads = 32 sectors = 63 cylinders = 784 (and then rerun "lilo") in order to get a bootable system. ---------------------------------------------------------------- OK. Enough of my description. The key point that I found was this: I could *not* read from the floppy drive with the Slackware 3.0 kernels. Not *one* of the boot-disks that I tried worked, nor did the installed kernel. The MINI-LINUX kernel, on the other hand, reads from the floppy just *fine*. I don't konw what's going on -- does anybody have any idea?

Every running application protection faulted. Clicking the details button revealed that the fault occurred in WSPDSF.DRV, which is the old 640x480x256 driver for windows 3.1 that I have to use to get 256 color graphics. After a reboot, the machine now goes into a constant loop of faults right after the pointer is displayed. I reinstalled the video drivers from a backup disk and the problem persists. I downloaded the archive again from IBM's website to no avail. I'm stuck with boring (albeit speedy) 16 color graphics with Microsoft's VGA driver. IBM's position on this particular model of thinkpad is something like denial of its existence. They mention the fact that the 95 support for the 720c is lousy on their website, but don't plan on doing anything about it. Phone calls and visits to service centers lead to sales pitches.

I've been trying for several months to install Linux on a TP-750Cs with a 340MB disk. I've read the Linux/TP WWW pages and downloaded the TP-specific boot disks (and a modified A1). I've used diskparm and determined that I have 914 cyl, 15 heads, and 49 sectors on my HD --- and then used that along with "ramdisk floppy=thinkpad" at the "boot:" prompt ... But the damn thing still doesn't work! Tonight I took the thing apart, reset the ram-card (just in case it was loose), and did a completely clean install. To insure it was clean, I first removed ALL of my previous attempts to install Linux, installed DOS, then removed the DOS partition and repartitioned for Linux. I then tried three completely separate installations, all without success. When I finished the last one, the results were: 1. It wouldn't boot from the HD --- complaining that fsck had returned errors and I had to reboot immediately. 2. It wouldn't boot from the floppy made during the Slackware "Configure" sequence. 3. When I booted from the installation floppy, using "mount root=/dev/hda1 hd=914,15,49 floppy=thinkpad" it a. first booted, but displayed a line stating that /dev/hda had 915,15,49 CHS during the boot sequence, and b. died soon afterward with a complaint that it could not sync in the swapper task. I'd REALLY! appreciate any advice/assistance/hints from someone who knows both Linux and ThinkPads. Peter -- Peter Olsen, P.E., pcolsen@acm.org P.O.

I usually think something in the region of 60% is reasonable for a used machine that is not too old. So that would be near enough $2500. Certainly a 755CE with 24MB for $2500 is a good buy, maybe you can get a little more, depending on whether you have all the packing, manuals etc, and the original receipt (which would validate the continued guarantee).

Lessie... how much of the warr is left? If someone had just bought it and turned around and handed it to me, I'd knock off 10% (based on the "I have no idea what the hell happened to this" principle). After a year, I'd knock off 30%. I'd always knock 50% of new-memory price unless it has some kind of demonstrable warr to collect on. I don't think I personally would pay more than $3.3k for such a machine - they are going to continue to drop in price very quickly as new models come out and battery tech evolves.

I had a couple of problems with a mono 720 running os2: IBM told me that the 720 is too old to have the relevant information around. My recent experiences with their helpline were frustrating: none of the people I was talking to recently did know what he was talking about (which isn't always the case, fortunately). When I had a question about the 755CD the guy didn't even know that there is a TP with an internal CD-Rom drive... In Germany it is next to impossible getting to know any technical details of TP hardware. If you need reliable information you have to order the appropriate reference manuals. I don't know why it has to be like this but it seems that IBM prefers that way. Christoph Eyrich --- eyrich@zedat.fu-berlin.de > From: "David W.

If you have a ThinkPad 760 and are trying to get Linux running on it, I'd like to talk to you. I've got most things working, but I'm having some maddening trouble: * The serial port loses considerable data on reception at high speeds. * PCMCIA modems lose in the same way, probably for the same reason. * Our PCMCIA network cards have a strange latency, coupled with throughputs between 2 to 5 times slower than they should be. None of this happens under DOS or OS/2 with the same hardware, or when running the same PCMCIA cards under the same Linux version on my TP 755C, so I'm convinced it's a problem specific to the TP 760 hardware. I've run out of ideas and could use some new ones.
