After reading my 760C documentation concerning this, it would appear the supervisor or hard disk passwords are not resettable, as you were told by IBM. Since I've not heard of any way to get past this, your request has prompted me to provide my supervisor password to management, just in case. If by chance you do find a way, please let us know it's possible. I do like this feature though. The stories I've heard about securing PC access on boot, floppy or idle timeout using some add on security software is rife with support problems and system crashes. And we know that using non volatile memory for power on password is just an annoyance to thieves and the like. This method avoids messing with my operating system(s) or boot record. All computers should have this security feature. It should make the system less attractive to theft if it can't be used without replacing the system board and hard drive.

I seem to remember much mail about Win95 so I'll go with that. With Win95 you need no PCMCIA drivers, so to avoid problems with 2 cards do the following. 1. Take the first card and plug it into SLOT 1. If you then run START MENU -> ControlPanel -> Add New Hardware, it should find this device. If you now go to START MENU -> Control Panel -> System, you can see the device you have just added. Double click on this and goto the resources tab. Here you can change the IRQ and Memory used by that device. 2. Repeat above, and it should be possible to get the two not to clash. Worth noting however that I actually disabled one of my COM: ports with the Thinkpad software in order to have enough free IRQ's to allocated to PCMCIA Modem, PCMCIA Ethernet and MWave Modem.

Some of the later flash upgrades solve connectivity problems but the resulting carrier speed is a trade-off. With that being said, you should keep in mind that v.34 carriers re-train regularly, and line conditions are such that a 28.8 connection rarely maintains itself at that speed anyway. -Mike --- Michael Klenner East: klennerm@is.nyu.edu New York University West: mklenner@pacificnet.net Tisch School of the Arts http://pages.nyu.edu/~mdk1143 Institute of Film & Television talk: michael@24frames.com --- From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Fri Mar 1 10:55:37 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA20736; Fri, 1 Mar 96 10:55:37 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA28312; Fri, 1 Mar 1996 10:53:14 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.4); Fri, 1 Mar 1996 10:51:52 -0500 Received: from tuna.mit.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA28194; Fri, 1 Mar 1996 10:51:49 -0500 Received: (from jokim@localhost) by tuna.mit.edu (8.6.12/8.6.9) id KAA04787; Fri, 1 Mar 1996 10:48:16 -0500 Date: Fri, 1 Mar 1996 10:48:13 -0500 (EST) From: "John H.

The long answer is to hit Fn-F1, then look through the many power settings. One will be for suspend timeout, one will be for disk spindown, one will be for screen blank, etc. Incidently, you can have different settings for when your 701 is on AC or battery.

Synopsis: My system has lately, on an intermittent basis, been shutting off with the claim that the battery's discharged, despite displaying an almost full charge only seconds before. I called IBM tech Monday, and they seem to feel I'd set up conflicting parameters in the BIOS. (I recently flashed up to 3o). While I did have battery mode set for Power Saver with sound, pcmcia, and modem off and AC mode for everything on and processor set to 25/50, I don't see how that could cause a problem. I shuffled the settings and things have been fine until today, when the laptop again shut off moments after reading that it had a 1:16 charge left. Since then, it's been fine, but I called IBM and now they want me to EZServe it. To me, this doesn't sound like hardware, because the problem is intermittent. It can't be the battery, I have to NiMHs and a "super" NiCad and it's done this to all of them. One tech implied the system isn't charging properly due to the DCD (?) card, and I have noticed that I have to jiggle the adapter a little to get the charging light to come on. Only other symptom I've noticed is occasional mouse rebellion - occasionally, while scrolling a document, the screen keeps scrolling after I stop clicking. Other times, during mouse-intensive operations, the system has locked up and had to reboot. This as all been since Monday. Any input?

If you go into Fn-F1, there's a Battery Power Mode setting and an External Power Mode setting. Depending on which mode the computer is currently in, one of these will have just one line, the other will have all its options fully listed. To modify the one-liner, highlight it and hit Enter. It's easy to miss because the two switch places if you change from AC to battery or vice versa. > Also is there any harm to leaving it on all the time? I've been leaving mine plugged for weeks on end since December and haven't noticed any degredation in battery life (measured with a stopwatch, not Fn-F2).

If you want to continue to use the machine and hard drive DO NOT REPLACE THE SYSTEM BOARD! If you do the hard drive will never boot up again. In this case 'shell' means bare system (basically the system board in case). I have had a great deal of experience with those passwords on the machines. The Supervisor password is basically a combination of a Hard Drive password and a Power On password. If the shell has the same supervisor password as the hard drive, it will boot up seamlessly. If you go into E-Z Setup you will need the supervisor password to make any changes, but otherwise the system will work fine. If you move the hard drive into another machine, it will prompt you for a hard drive password, which is the supervisor password. If you put another hard drive in the shell, you will need the supervisor password, and then you will either have to clear it or add it to the new hard drive to continue. This ensures that the machines will never be broken up. If the system board is replaced the supervisor password will be removed from the shell, but not the hard drive. If the shell no longer has the supervisor password, when you boot up it will prompt you for a hard drive password. To date no one has cracked the hard drive passwords (alot of talk, but no one has _done_ it). In the case below, the supervisor password is not known, so the hard drive will be a paperweight if the system board loses the password. The supervisor password will allow you to get around the power on password of the machine. The idea is that the supervisor configures the system, and then gives it to the person. They put their own power-on password on, but the supervisor can always get into the system. Currently I know that the 755's, 750's, and 760's all have this functionality. I know that the 700's, 720's, and 360's do not. You cannot have a hard drive password and a supervisor password, as the supervisor password occupies the password 'location' on the hard drive. You will have to use a Power On password if you want to have a password, as the system has 'space' for both of those.

Well, I was only responding to someone else who had the problem. I've experienced it once though. I was on a plane and discharged a battery until the computer auto-suspended. I replaced it with my second battery and ran that to about 20%. When I got home, I completely charged the second battery. I then popped in the first battery to charge it and was surprised to see 100%. I turned it off and back on and it still said 100%. Furthermore, it wasn't charging. I was certain I had only charged the second battery, but just to be sure I popped it in. 100%, and I had only had time to charge one battery so I knew the first battery was still discharged. I put the first battery back in (still saying 100%) and let the computer sit. It seemed to be discharging as if full, then 10 minutes later it went from 3:02 left to 0:00 and suspended. After that, it recharged normally and I haven't had the problem again. Since it's possible for the battery to say 100% when it isn't really at 100%, that might account for why it seems to die with 30+% or an hour left. For some reason it thinks it's reached 100% charge when it's only at 70%. That stops the battery from charging futher. Then when discharging it estimates time from 100%, meaning the battery is drained when the computer thinks there's 30% left. I'm rather curious how the computer comes up with these numbers. -- John H.

John, Thanks for your comments. The implication seems to be that the 701 gets confused when you switch batteries. I've never encountered this problem before, and only recently bought my 2 NiMHs, and it was just in the past week that I first started using both, never needing more than 3 hours at a time. So, how does the computer track power available - the battery or the system? Maybe we've found a bug. Is anyone regularly swapping batteries who's *never* had this happen? PS: I'm going to post this to comp.sys.laptops for more replies.

We all know that you're SUPPOSED to have a nonsensical password like z%t#qbxt (interesting that these are all left hand keys...encryption controlled by the right brain?

I know that IBM doesn't really warrant these things for "continuous operation" but I wish them luck enforcing such an exclusion. Also, if I can leave the thing up all the time, should I leave its Li-Ion battery inside, or remove it until such a time as I'm going on the hoof? (Li-Ion bricks tend to lose charge fairly quickly if not used, so I would like to leave it in if there's no harm done to the battery or the system.)

Message-Id: <96Mar2.151048est.144013@explorer.dgp.toronto.edu> Date: Sat, 2 Mar 1996 15:10:35 -0500 You may recall that I had trouble with my MWAVE modem suddenly deciding to quit working in Windows 3.1. Troubleshooting such problems are essentially impossible under Dos/Win. I tried to reinstall MWAVE2 but found that it was saying that I didn't have enough disk space to do so, which was not correct. Wiping out C:\MWW didn't do the trick on its own. But after wiping out all trace of MWAVE for windows, including removing c:\MWW, all files beginning with "mw" in c:\windows, all lines with "mw" in win.ini and system.ini, and MWAVE from the startup group, MWAVE2 did reinstall and the modem restarted under Windows. The modem always worked perfectly well under native DOS. As well, FaxWorks, which had stopped working after I upgraded to MWAVE 2 several months ago, started working again. I don't think I'll even try to understand any of this. I just wish the MWAVE modem (which I think is a really swell piece of work) would work under Linux. Thanks to several of you out there who tried to help me out. Regards, Eugene Fiume.

Porbably your best bet is to go for the 120 when the price goes down then the 133 is released. By the way, please keep email messages to lines of less than 80 chars, it makes them much easier to read on terminal emulators.

FWIW, here's a script I have as /sbin/settime (suid root) and run when I come out of hibernation (on my 755cx). It checks to see if the clock is off WRT the CMOS clock, and if so resets it, and also resets the keyboard autorepeat to 30/sec (the keyboard autorepeat gets reset upon hibernation as well, and 30/sec is what I like).

I heard yesterday that IBM is coming out with some Cyrix 586 machines that could be as low as $1500 -- the high end of that line might end up being nice. Who knows? Time will tell. Note that a faster chip doesn't necessarily mean that much of a faster machine -- it's highly dependent upon other factors, such as off-chip cache, bus speed, political winds in Iceland, motherboard timing, work load, phase of Saturn's 3rd moon WRT Uranus, and a partridge in a pair tree. My brother just upgraded from a x66 486 to a 133 Pentium (with new motherboard) and while "faster", it's not what he was hoping. And to add to the confusion, a large database repeatedly loads slower (16 sec vs. 21 sec). Maybe some disk parameter needs changed. Who knows? Time might not tell.

I had a 755C (DX2/50, 8 megs, 170 meg HD, 3COM PCMCIA 10bT adapter, Motorola 14.4k PCMCIA Modem) for awhile, but sold it last year and replaced it with a 755CX a few months later (16 megs, 810meg HD, Mwave edition, Xircom IIps PCMCIA adapter). I am planning on upgrading it to Win95, since that is what I run at home and business. The graphics under Windows seem slower than my 755C, but I guess this is due to the 800x600 screen vs. 640x480 for my older 755C. Besides that, I am generally pleased with the unit. Overall, this is my fourth IBM machine. I actually started with a IBM P70 (8 megs, 60 meg HD), moved to a PS/Note (425c 12/125 config) then the 755C and now this. #---------------------------------------------------------------------# # ** Trying to find the meaning of life and our existance, this is ** # #Mark Bell * 800 College Drive #104 * Vineland, NJ * 08360 *6093274029# #--------------->Email: bytehead@interramp.com<-----------------------# From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Sun Mar 3 22:33:22 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA11610; Sun, 3 Mar 96 22:33:22 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id WAA12209; Sun, 3 Mar 1996 22:29:30 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.4); Sun, 3 Mar 1996 22:25:53 -0500 Received: from ecs.umass.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id WAA12051; Sun, 3 Mar 1996 22:25:51 -0500 Received: from ECS.UMASS.EDU by ECS.UMASS.EDU (PMDF V5.0-4 #6523) id <01I1X1M0JBJ4CF1E3L@ECS.UMASS.EDU> for thinkpad@cs.utk.edu; Sun, 03 Mar 1996 22:25:12 -0500 Date: Sun, 03 Mar 1996 22:25:12 -0500 From: JACK SHU Subject: 701/win95/drivespace 3 now can't suspend/hibernate?

Kim" To: thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Subject: Peaceful coexistence of Linux, DOS, Win95 on TP701? Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII (This is a long rant followed by a question to Linux users who've gotten it to coexist with Win95. Ignore it if you don't use Linux or are a fan of Microsoft.) Somebody shoot me, I tried to install Windows 95 on my Thinkpad. I'm trying to make web pages on my TP701. Linux on the TP701 doesn't support more than 256 colors so Netscape's graphics look really bad. A substantial portion of my existing web pages have unix (long) filenames so I can't just copy them to a DOS partition to edit under Windows 3.1. The only OS which I can run Netscape on in 32k colors with long filenames is Windows 95. Since I only have 8MB, I wanted to keep DOS/Win3.1 around for more frequent use. So I tried to install Win95 on my D: drive, a logical drive. First of all it blew away LILO. At least that's what I thought. I reinstalled LILO several times and Win95 still insisted on monopolizing my computer. I've had an easier time getting rid of viruses. I finally loosened its stranglehold by reinstalling DOS on the C: drive, then reinstalling LILO. That worked, but now I couldn't start Win95 (funny how in the manual and install, Microsoft assumes you'll only be using one OS - their latest). Silly me for assuming an "advanced" OS like Win95 can boot from a logical partition. Apparently it needs its config.sys on the C: drive. So I repartitioned under Linux, giving Win95 an alternate primary partition, and made a logical FAT drive for data (I've done this several times with OS/2's fdisk with no ill effects). I used a DOS boot disk to format these new partitions since I read somewhere that it's best to format DOS partitions with DOS. The next time I tried to boot Linux, I found that its (logical) partition had been modified to make Linux think it was umsdos, and all the data is apparently gone. I fiddled with Linux's fdisk for a while, but I don't know much about partition tables so I wasn't able to switch it back or figure out what happened. To make things worse, I found out the computer I'd backed up my data to cleans out its /tmp directory every Sunday evening (I never thought it'd take more than a few hours when I started all this on Friday). So here I am, my TP701's 720 MB hard drive completely empty. No DOS, no Win3.1, no Win95, and no Linux on it. A large amount of my data has evaporated (fortunately, I made a second backup of the important stuff). And I have a short presentation in 10 hours but no computer to write it on. All because I thought I wanted to install Win95. Needless to say, I'm not a happy camper. Before I descend back into this insanity, has anybody here gotten Linux, Win3.1, and Win95 to coexist on a single hard drive? I think the fact that it's an EIDE drive may have something to do with my problems, so if you've managed to do all this on an EIDE drive, I'd be really interested in hearing how you did it.

I'm happy to say that I have no experience with this, but my brother uses something called System Commander to allow him to boot W95, W3.2, WNT, OS2, and DOS. The side of the box also lists Linux in the compatible listings, and says "any other Intel compatible OS", whatever that means). The box says this thing is from "V Communications", and gives 408-296-4224 (fax: 4441) as their contact. I have no relation to them, or Bill (and would like to keep it that way).

I'm tired of running PS2 VSYNC all the time, and having to adjust my monitor's screen positions every time it re-syncs. 800x600 looks bloody horrible at 60 Hz, but if I set things to 72 Hz in DOS, I have to adjust the scan on the monitor, (an NEC 3FGe), which shifts to the right. On my dektop, I had a Diamond Viper which allowed me to pre-set screen positions for each scan rate, alleviating this problem. What's the solution on the TP?

Richard, Yes... you're right. We're asking the same question really. I'd come to the same kludgy solution that you have, but I think my question/difficulty goes a bit beyond yours. What monitor do you use with your 760? I've got an NEC 3FGe lashed to the 755cx and it really is a nice unit, but using the CX's display adapter, the monitor's image shifts from one side of the tube to the other depending on SYNC settings; (ie: If I adjust the monitor's 800x600x72Hz display to center, the image will be off center as soon as I boot to DOS or use a different screen resolution.) It's not a horrendous problem because I grudgingly use Win95 99% of the time. However, I'd love to NOT have to retune the monitor each time I boot to DOS, or have to look at the '95 Logo off kilter every time I booth the machine. On my desktop, my old display/controller combination, (Viewsonic 15/Diamond Viper) worked well, because the controller could be pre-tuned for each setting such that the picture would re-center itself if resolution or sync rates were altered. Any ideas? -Michael PS: I still love this machine.

I would appreciate any info any of you might have regarding that new machine, and whether we might see it sometime soon. -James Gramling From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Mon Mar 4 17:46:51 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA00228; Mon, 4 Mar 96 17:46:51 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id RAA21550; Mon, 4 Mar 1996 17:43:11 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.4); Mon, 4 Mar 1996 17:41:52 -0500 Received: from rmii.com by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id RAA21396; Mon, 4 Mar 1996 17:41:43 -0500 Received: from scooby.noc.interop.net by rmii.com with smtp (Smail-3.1.29.1 #4) id m0ttiw0-000JY4C; Mon, 4 Mar 96 15:40 MST Message-Id: <2.2.32.19960304214133.00e78ce4@[166.93.8.14]> X-Sender: ssh@[166.93.8.14] X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.2 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Mon, 04 Mar 1996 14:41:33 -0700 To: thinkpad@cs.utk.edu From: Steve Hultquist Subject: Good source for accessories?

I use Linux on my 755CD all the time. What I would suggest is to get the Caldera Network Desktop 1.0. It comes with support for PCMCIA devices and the CD-ROM drive in the Thinkpad. I use loadlin to load the kernel as that allows me to use the sound-blaster and cdrom stuff in Linux. If you don't want to go this way then you will need to do some patching and such to get everything working. > Failing that, I would appreciate hearing any peculiarities related to > running linux on this platform (I have already read the faq, archives and > linux-thinkpad page -- at least enough to know that the process will not be > trivial!) The biggest thing is that the CD-ROM driver code (in ide-cd.c) in the standard 1.2.13 release doesn't work with the CDROM drive in the Thinkpads. You need to use ide-cd.c from the 1.3.1 release (or Caldera which upgraded to this version). Also if you want to use sound and listen to audio CD's you need to load using loadlin. Finally I think you will *not* need the "floppy=thinkpad" for the floppy in the 755CD. > Much thanks, Hope it helps!

The boot floppy found in David Hinds' PCMCIA package (using the Linux kernel mirror site nearest you) should get you your ethernet card and maybe even the CDROM (can't vouch for the latter). Unless you plan to run Linux from a second drive, you'll have to repartition your internal drive. It can be done in place using a Linux DOS utility. I'm not going to explain this further because it is so very important to read the real HowTo. To keep your kernel light, it is important to use loadable modules and Hinds' PCMCIA code. I wasn't using either until the 1.3 kernels, and then found they wouldn't load under loadlin. } Failing that, I would appreciate hearing any peculiarities related to } running linux on this platform (I have already read the faq, archives and } linux-thinkpad page -- at least enough to know that the process will not be } trivial!) You mentioned MWAVE in your message. Forget it for Linux. You can get a little SB emulation, but I've not been able to get MIDI, modem or other DSP functionality. The modem is out of the question, it seems, but if anyone has had success with MIDI, please let me know. Your job is made much easier if you install a full Linux distribution >from a CDROM. If you can't get the CDROM player going from a boot floppy, you can copy your distribution under Windows to your hard disk and install from there. I used Slackware, but have a look at http://www.redhat.com. Once you get your distribution installed, go get the source for a more recent kernel and more importantly, the PCMCIA code. Read the PCMCIA docs before configuring a new kernel, because it tells you what not to configure. Installing Linux was easy and it works very well on my (obsolete-the- day-it-shipped-but-still-pretty-nice) 755CE. Regards, Eugene Fiume.

I would think this is the older double speed version of the KXL-D740. The PC-Card is SCSI, but it seems to hang during write on the ZIP Drive and regular SCSI hard drives. It works fine for reading most SCSI drives (as well as the CD-ROM Drive it was designed for). The Drive works well on a regular SCSI controller should you want to use it in this manner. ------------------------------------- Name: Tim E-mail: Tim Date: 03/04/96 Time: 22:39:06 From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Tue Mar 5 08:48:07 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA13797; Tue, 5 Mar 96 08:48:07 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id IAA29905; Tue, 5 Mar 1996 08:45:27 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.4); Tue, 5 Mar 1996 08:42:46 -0500 Received: from vmedia.com by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id IAA29681; Tue, 5 Mar 1996 08:42:42 -0500 Received: from lgate.vmedia.com by vmedia.com (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4 kells.vmedia.com) id IAA01234; Tue, 5 Mar 1996 08:39:10 -0500 Received: by lgate.vmedia.com (IBM OS/2 SENDMAIL VERSION 1.3.2)/1.0) id AA5682; Tue, 05 Mar 96 08:37:17 -0800 Message-Id: <9603051637.AA5682@lgate.vmedia.com> Received: from ITP with "Lotus Notes Mail Gateway for SMTP" id 6D8979223A1FA0F5852562E4004A686E; Tue, 5 Mar 96 08:37:14 To: Howard Price Cc: tp750 From: Michael Verne/VENTANA Date: 5 Mar 96 8:38:07 EDT Subject: Re: What do these files do?-- ramboost X-Lotus-Type: Reply w/Signature Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain "...Can ramboost act like microsoft's memmaker, i.e., indicating which programs it loads high, and not having to "learn" just because I added a rem to the autoexec.bat?..." ~~~~~ no. that's supposed to be the beauty of it. personally, i prefer memmaker because 1) it doesn't insist on re-optimizing for every little change, and 2) it isn't a tsr taking up conventional memory. memmaker does work with pc dos, though. you just need memmaker.exe, sizer.exe and chkstate.sys.

It's a SCSI-2 half-stroke, not a Centronics. I read an interesting bit of trivia - supposedly Centronics' patent has never been challenged, is still held.... and they've never received a penny. I sent a private reply to someone a while ago and forgot to copy it to the list - an adaptor to allow you to connect the male DB50 pin at the end of the Panasonic KXL720 cable to a female centronics can be had for about $25 from Cables America.

On a tp750, I have successfully used the Panasonic SCSI card with: the panasonic CD player a SCSI Zip unit a toshiba 4x CD ROM a 1.2G SCSI drive In all cases I loaded the ASPI driver that came with the card/cd. The zip I had to run the program that comes with it to add a drive letter, the drive I had to run the drive driver that comes with Adaptec's EZ-SCSI software and the Toshiba worked with both the Panasonic CD driver and with the EZ-SCSI driver. (Apparently the Panasonic driver is a generic auto-sensing driver) Also, I looked up Cables America: 1-800-348-USA4. They sell 2 adaptors, both $35. The one to use the panasonic card with a centronics device is the Micro DB50F<-->C50M, I believe. They will, no doubt, be happy to send you a catalog. ========================================================================= Don Whiteside, professional computer jockey.

This is a description of the "stable" process for installation of a 3rd party graphics board in the ThinkPad 755 running Win95. I have a DockII, however a Dock I should behave the same. Read the procedure a couple of times before you begin. Follow it closely and you should be successful. (No guarantees, tho.) Tested Hardware: ---------------- 755CDV P-75, 810MB/40MB Dock II STB Nitro 64 2MB DRAM ISA Graphics Card PanaSync Pro C1792P .25mm dp 17" 1600x1280 monitor. OS: Windows 95 Graphics card stats: -------------------- 32bpp up to 800x600 @ 75Hz 16bpp up to 1024x768 @ 75Hz 8bpp up to 1280x1024 @ 60Hz or 87Hz(i) Acquisition source: Computer City @ McCarthy Ranch, Milpitas, CA Before you start: ----------------- Get the latest (1.4 or higher) version of the 755 BIOS from the IBM file archives: ( http://www.pc.ibm.com/files.html ) The filename you are looking for is sytpe141.exe or similar. Install it according to the instructions that extract out of the file when you open it. No procedure for the install here; contact IBM if you run into troubles. (BTW, be sure not to down-rev your BIOS. The system will ask you to confirm if it detects a potential down-rev situation.) Graphics Board Set-up Procedure: -------------------------------- 1) Undock your ThinkPad 2) Start system under Win95, normal mode. 3) Under My Computer -> (right click pop-up menu) Properties -> Device Manager -> Display Adapter, 'Remove' the Western Digital driver from all configurations. 4) In the Control Panel -> Display -> Settings, select 'Change Display Type'. Select Standard VGA (no frills) Make sure this is the default for all configurations (docked and un-docked) (You can also get to the Display Properties form by right-clicking on the background and selecting Properties from the pop-up menu.) BTW, if you are unable to modify your display properties, you are not ready. Stop here, go directly to your retailer, return the graphics board and collect $200. 5) Shut down the ThinkPad. 6) Install the graphics board in the Dock II and connect the monitor. 7) Dock your ThinkPad and start-up win95. 8) Win95 may attempt to auto-config the display adapter. It may complain about the display settings, that's OK. *Do not* go into the Auto-Config Wizard if you are prompted. 9) Check to see that the display adapter is still set to Standard VGA. Go to display settings and if it changed from VGA, change it back, close the form. 10) Restart Win95 with the system docked. 11) Again, do not go into auto-config if prompted. Check the display settings, and they should still be set to Standard Display Adapter (VGA). If not, you may continue, however there are no guarantees. 12) Now, believe it or not, go to My Computer -> (right-click) Properties -> Device Manager -> Display Adapters and 'remove' the Standard Display Adapter (VGA) from all configurations. 13) From the Control Panel, select 'Add New Hardware' 14) Do not let Win95 scan for the new hardware, when prompted. 15) In the next window, select "Display Adapter" from the list. 16) (Optional) Select 'STB Systems'. 17) Insert the 'STB Vision 95' disk that came with your board in your A: drive and select 'Have Disk' 18) From the driver list that appears, select 'Nitro 64 with Vision 95'. 19) Confirm all dialogs and reboot the system when prompted. 20) If the system locks on reboot, restart in DOS mode and remove the 'load= STBVISN.EXE' line from your c:\windows\win.ini file and reboot. 21) If the system locks again, restart in safe mode and restart the procedure from step 12. Remove the STB Driver from all configurations instead of the VGA driver as indicated in that step. Reinstall the STB driver from the disk, but this time WITHOUT Vision 95 and reboot. 22) There's still hope if it locks again. Restart in safe mode, delete the STB drivers and load the default 'STB Nitro (Cirrus Logic)' driver that came with the Win95 distribution CD/disks. You just won't be able to adjust refresh rates and it may default to 60Hz. 23) When the system successfully reboots with the STB driver loaded, it will re-detect the WD display driver, however it will keep the STB driver intact. 24) Go to My Computer -> (right-click) Properties -> Device Manager -> Display Adapter, and 'Remove' the Western Digital driver from the "Docked" configuration only. 25) Next, 'Remove' the STB Nitro driver from the "UnDocked" configuration. 26) If using Vision 95, set your display settings (Refresh rates, resolution, color-depth, etc.) and restart your system. 27) If using the STB Nitro 64 Driver w/o Vision, you can probably still use the stbvisn.exe application (in c:\windows), just don't let it configure Windows to auto-start the application on reboots when you are prompted (that is when the software adds the load= line in the win.ini) 28) If using the generic STB Nitro driver that came with win95, or you just can't seem to get the stbvisn.exe application to run, set the resolution and color-depth in the Windows 'Display Settings' form. 29) Reboot. You're done! Happy sailing. If you run into troubles, make sure you have exhausted all other resources (like STB's tech support) before you contact me... (lest I publicly chastise you and flame your keester). If there are errors or omissions in the procedure, please let me know and I will make the appropriate changes.

While fiddling around trying to get PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) working on my TP701, I noticed some unusual behavior from the parallel port. If you set it to anything but a simple parallel port, most software will see TWO parallel ports, one normal and one enhanced.

I was anxious to install Windows NT 3.51 although I was anticipating some problems.

Under Win95, it's setup as COM1 (with MWave as COM2). Also does anyone know if there is an email address I can send a message to to become a beta tester for NT Mwave drivers? Thanks!

I have talked to a few of the sales managers and they haven't said what the decision will be. Megahertz will still be Megahertz, USR bought them for there technology, not just their name.

I noticed the Jeteye doesn't work with my TP750. My guess is it needs more power than the serial port can supply. I could see this being the problem if your desktop has a really cheap i/o card. Try running a comm program like Procomm or Telix on both computers. Set them to 112kbps and the serial port the IR/Jeteye is on. What you type on one should show up on the other. The only way I can think of to figure out if one is broken is to test then with a third IR device you know works. Also, if you look at them through a camcorder, you can usually see the IR LED blinking on and off. -- John H.

Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Well, in about a year from now I look forward to buying a new IBM ThinkPad notebook. I will be in the investment banking business, with several needs that i hope a notebook of this class will offer. Some of these things include: presentations, some multimedia, good power for Spreadsheet, Word Processor, and other applications, and telephony abilities (i.e. fax-on-demand services), to name a few. I am really not sure what to expect in terms of a notebook, and whether or not I am choosing one that will meet my goals and expectations. I will buy a Pentium class chip, with at least 16MB ram, because this is all I read about in terms of POWER. THe THinkPAd 755cd in a year from now will be hopefully in my range of purchase $4500-$5000 CDN, and if i don't get the CDV model I will purchase an overhead display (i am not sure how much a decent one will cost in a year or two). I heard, however, that the CDV model has a major problem in that it overheats and melts when on the projector (this would not be too nice given the cost of the machine). Therefore, perhaps the CD model would be better for me. I really need some guidance on the purchase of a notebook. Maybe i am still not sure of my needs, but i guess i am not sure what exactly a notebook of this class can do for me as compared to other models by other computer firms. I look forward to some of your insight and information, and I am enjoying being on the mail list.

If you are thinking of buying an obsolete model (the 755cd will be very obsolete a year fro now), you will find that, if you can indeed find a new one still to buy -- somewhat dubious, it will have a fire sale price, much lower than what you suggest. Thinkpads lose value tremendously fast, and yu can indeed get great deals by willing to be behind the wavefront of development, but 18 months might be too long (the 755CD is after all already obsoleted by the 760CD). A year is a LONG time in this market.

We use almost exclusively the OS Linux, connecting the machine when she is not traveling to an ethernet by means of an IBM PCMCIA credit card adapter. We keep the machine closed (apparently in suspend mode), and are able to connect to her through the net, opening windows on our desktop (UNIX) machines. We usually keep our machines up continuously, and we were doing the same with the Thinkpad, but we have recently wonder whether this can be bad in her case. The question is: is there any problem (for example, overheating) in keeping a thinkpad machine up (and closed) for long periods of time? .......................................................................... : : Facultad de Informatica : : Daniel Cabeza Gras : Universidad Politecnica de Madrid : : CLIP Group : 28660-Boadilla del Monte, MADRID : : dcabeza@dia.fi.upm.es : SPAIN : ..........................................................................

As an investment banker, I'm surprised you can't afford more. ;] The only 755's that will be available in one year are going to be in the resale market. They have already stopped production on all but one 755 (the CDV) and plan to stop CDV production April 1. We have demand for nearly 30 more CDV's and can only find 8 in the distributors in Northern California. As for the overheating/melting thing, it's baloney. We have over 100 CDVs in our Marketing group and have had no problems (melting, dropping or otherwise) at any of our conference or customer presentations. In Q496, IBM will be announcing a 'V' version of the 760 to replace the 755CDV, however, there is going to be a severe shortage of 'V' systems between May and November. (Seller's market!)

The case may seem cooler when it is up on it's feet, however, the processor will be hotter. The high temperature of the case when you have it on a solid surface (other than, say a lap or styrofoam) is indicative of a preferred 'heat path'.

Note however, that the bottom can get VERY hot indeed, hot enough to damage a wood surface (I actually opened a small crack between sections of a maple table).

I keep mine running constantly, and it doesn't seem to have affected it adversely. Two things you should watch, ventilation and display.. A few times, I've had it closed and the display has incorrectly turned on, and evidently, the heat when closed it bad on the display, although it hasn't seemed to do any permanant damage, just looked washed out (very, almost unreadable) for an hour or so before it was back to normal.

Now wait a minute. If the processor is cooled by conduction to the case, *all* that matters to the processer is the temperature of the case. If the case is cooler, it's better...period. It doesn't matter if the case was cooled by conduction or convection. As someone who does calculations of heat flow in rocks, I can tell you that some materials conduct *very* slowly. For example, one could, in theory, melt the case running a tp on a stone table with no convection. At least your lap has both a temperature sensor, and a boiling-point governor :). Go for whatever keeps the case the coolest. One experimentalist is worth ten theorists :). In my experience (using my lap sensor), most of the heat is generated in the charging battery. If you want to keep the heat load down, the best strategy would be to remove the battery and run on AC. ---------------------------- Victor Kress Geophysical Laboratory 5251 Broad Branch Road N.W.

Your theory about it melting on a stone table because it 'conduct(s) *very* slowly' is also flawed. You are confusing the first-order thermal response with the thermal conductivity. Thermal conductivity determines the rate of heat flux through a material and the thermal mass (density*specific heat) determines the rate at which a unit volume of material will reach a steady-state temperature. Stone (like granite) actually has a rather good thermal conductivity (2-5x better than wood or formica), and a good size table (due to it's long thermal time constant) would actually behave much like an 'infinte heat sink' (constant surface temperature). >One experimentalist is worth ten theorists :).

My problem is that whenever the machine goes into suspend or hibernate mode (either deliberately or automatically) the suspend light flashes for a short while without blanking the screen, or displaying the "saving RAM to disk" screen and then the entire machine seizes up - screen intact, mouse mobile, but nothing else responding to anything - Ctrl-Esc, Ctrl-Alt-Del, even the Watchcat serial port trigger doesn't work. The only thing I can do is to reboot with the switch, which means that OS/2 has to run through a complete check disk. I understand that the TP755 is not suposed to go into suspend/hibernate with an ethernet card inside - and that is the only help I have had from IBM helpline, but totally crashing the entire computer seems a rather extreme way of dissuading you from trying it, especially if it is not even attatched to a network at the time! I have tried ejecting the ethernet card when this happens, my hibernate file is up to date, and suspend is "non-safe" so I think that it does not use a hibernate file (or am I wrong there?). Is this a universal problem, is there a way round it, and do other ehternet cards behave in less dramatic ways?

I have been successful with both machines and 3 versions of OS/2 at getting the machine to both hibernate and suspend. I will admit that it took a bunch of playing around with the various drivers for PCMCIA, and I'm using a combination of stuff from Warp and from the Thinkpad diskettes -- but, hey, it works! Don't lt IBM tell you it can't be done if I can do it with their own card on a 755C! Oh, one interesting glitch -- although I can suspend using the keyboard controls, I can't hibernate from the keyboard -- I have to use the "fuel" program to hibernate. Sometimes the machine won't hibernate but if I do a suspend then a hibernate, it always works. It's an aggravation, but it works well enough that I decided not to fiddle with it further.

I was able to "see" the flash card as a drive on my 701, but was not yet able to mount the stacker volume it contained. At any rate, I was able to dig up an old version of Stacker (3.0), mount it on my 701 (booting to the "old version of MS-DOS" option on Win '95) and run "sdefrag" on the volume. This fixed the error. Apparently (I don't know how), when I was running the sdefrag while it was on my little HP 100LX PalmTop, it somehow rebooted and messed up the volume. From there, I couldn't get the HP to mount the volume. I don't know how/why it was able to do so on my ThinkPad, but it did and then I was able to run sdefrag on it again to repair it & finish the job. Neato!

If not, you need to grab the BIOS update from http://www.pc.ibm.com/listfiles.html. sytpf110.exe dated Feb 6th Once your BIOS is current then all you need are the following files: vtp76095.exe dated Oct. 29th - Cyber video driver for Win95 (extract .exe -> Display Properties -> Settings -> Change Display Type ->Have Disk) uttp1311.exe - Updated utilities 1/3 dated Feb. 26 uttp2301.exe - Updated utilities 2/3 dated Feb. 26 uttp3101.exe - Updated utilities 3/3 dated Feb. 15 Once you install all this stuff go to ThinkPad Features, select the 'CRT only' button, go to the Display and you should have full use of all the buttons (resolution, refresh rates, etc.) If not, you may want to turn off the enhanced video (upper right button for video capture) reboot and try again. I've now got 1024x768x8bpp cruising at 75Hz on an external monitor from a 760CD/P120.

Funny but 'N' is the problem here too. When I type at my incredibly inhuman rate of about 30 words per minute, I will notice that a few characters are not there. Most noticibly 'N'. It definitely has to do with the tilt keyboard and how it is a little 'springy' when typing. Otherwise no real complaints. The biggest obstacle we have run into so far is using a Xircom Pocket adaptor. The system will freeze up occasionally when left idle and on the adapter. Only pushing in the red reset button will clear the problem. Grrr, but we are switching over to IBM Ethernet PCMCIA adapters, so no big problem.

It is now on its third keyboard; one was replaced with the glossier black keyboard with the no-rub-off letters, and the second was simply defective. Thank heavens I was part of a no-questions-asked service plan back then. The trackpoint just died, though, which results in an "8611" error at startup. I recognize this as a bad keyboard error. So: where can I get a new keyboard? Do I need one? How hard is it to swap out? Thanks.

When I installed this on a logical partition, all went well *except* that when I now boot OS/2 from this new partition, I get a small 640x480 screen display *and* there's a horizontal line at the tip of the cursor.

From: Lee Hetherington I've been happily using XFree86 3.1.2B on my 760C for about a month now. However, I just realized this beta version of the X server (XF86_SVGA) expires at the end of the month. The current beta version is now 3.1.2D (they seemed to skip C). The trouble is that I can't seem to get 3.1.2D to work, at least with the XF86Config I was using with 3.1.2B. A colleague of mine has had similar problems with 3.1.2D under Solaris x86. Has anyone had luck with 3.1.2D? I really hope I can still run X after the end of the month!

IBM Direct still sells them, but it's a pain: - they're $5.00 + tax for a pack of 3 (this is ok) - they're out of stock, 2-3 week backorder (I'll survive) - $7.50 shipping charge regardless of quantity (ugh!). Unless someone has a better idea I might order 10 packs or so in order to get the shipping overhead to reasonable levels. Would anyone on the list want a pack or two then? I probably just want 1 or 2 packs for myself. Assuming I order 10 packs and the tax is $0.40, the "group buy" price would be $6.15 per pack, plus I'd want you to send an SASE with your check.

So I know it could be done. A possibly better solution is that there is a VCRPlus controller that connects to the phone lines and allows the user to enter VCRPlus codes via touchtone phone. The advantage is that it is one package for under $100 dollars. The disavantage is you need to carry around a televison schedule. The problem is if you forgot to set the VCR, it is likely you could not remember to bring a TV Schedule with you. With the tp755 and voice menuing system you could get around the problem by writing custom software that would automatically get the tv schedules and will announce tv listings through the voice menus. The user selects the program and the unit sends the proper codes at the proper time to turn everything on. This also allows the user to get past the blinking 12:00 AM on his VCR as it is turned on through the remote. In fact another nice feature would be one that sets the VCR clock. 73 Eric eac@shore.net From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Thu Mar 14 11:00:28 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA09355; Thu, 14 Mar 96 11:00:28 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA26599; Thu, 14 Mar 1996 10:58:19 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.4); Thu, 14 Mar 1996 10:56:56 -0500 Received: from chaph.usc.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA26371; Thu, 14 Mar 1996 10:56:51 -0500 Received: from ppp.usc.edu (comserv-j-11.usc.edu [128.125.224.155]) by chaph.usc.edu (8.7.2/8.7.2/usc) with SMTP id HAA17923; Thu, 14 Mar 1996 07:56:36 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <1.5.4b11.32.19960314155659.00675588@scf.usc.edu> X-Sender: whittle@scf.usc.edu X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 1.5.4b11 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Thu, 14 Mar 1996 07:56:59 -0800 To: , cpy+@andrew.cmu.edu (C.P.

I ran into a problem this past week that took me a long time to resolve. I have a Thinkpad 760C with a Dock II. The Dock II has a 3COM Etherlink III 3C589C-TP network card in it. I also have a loaner external SCSI CDROM plugged into the Dock. I run OS/2 Warp Connect with FP17. This set up has worked without any serious problems for several weeks. As I left the office one evening, the owner of the CDROM needed it back, so I just unplugged it from the Dock. The next morning, when I docked again I could not use my network applications. I had no reason to associate this with the removal of the SCSI CDROM, so I spent the next several days trying to figure out if my 3COM card, cable or Thinkpad had gone bad. I tried someone elses card and cable, it didn't work either. I verified the network connecting was good. I looked at the OS/2 network configuration, and even restored some backed up config files to be sure. I could not find anything that indicated any problem with OS/2, the card or the Thinkpad. Everything indicated the card was working. Believe me, I looked at all the configuration screens from the Dock II setup to the Thinkpad setup to the Network configuration. I figured I might as well reinstall the network software from Warp Connect to be sure something hadn't been lost, before I sent the Thinkpad in to be serviced. To my complete surprise, when I reconnected the SCSI CDROM, the network applications worked again. As I get time, I will try to figure out why disconnecting the SCSI caused the problem. However, I have a co-worker that has a 755CD who says his Thinkpad will not network if his TP CDROM is installed. He has to remove his CDROM to get the card to work. This makes me think the Thinkpad may have some quirk about auto detecting devices that in turn plays havoc with the network PC card. If anyone has more insight to this, please post to the list. I'll follow up if I discover more with my setup. I've got to figure out how to disconnect the CDROM and keep my network access!

These are my two cents after 3 weeks with l'il butterfly. Love it. After ten years and 17 different systems this is the one I wanna be buried with. Glad to hear your opinions. This has been posted in comp.sys.laptops before and a few answers trickled in, the ones helpfull I appended after each question. P.S. Don't you think it was time for a TP 701-only List or Newsgroup ? P.P.S.: I'm running good 'ole DOS622 & WIN311. OS/2, LINUX or WIN95/NT look fancy but are they worth the hassle ? (Don't answer this one, I'm decided. Besides, I like to use my computer now and then, not fiddle constantly.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Comments: #1: Don't push in the battery to hard, or it'll break the spring mechanism. #2: Tape the battery release switch to ensure the thing won't move and data is lost. The Thinkpads internal capacitators can't handle even a split second of powerloss. Even if your mechanism is ok, most of us won't change the battery ever so why not secure it. #3: The butterfly dropped from 1.5 metres, sent my Hardisk flying accross the room, plugged it back in and works fine. #4: I use the dragon dictate speech recognition system and it works fine with my thinkpad microphone, speaking in a normal voice at a comfortable viewing distance or even further, with medium background noise. #5: I recorded a full CD (Beasty Boys, Pauls Boutique) onto my harddrive, with some quality clipping which is ok because the speakers aren't that good. The 54 Minutes take up 70 MB of space and it plays loud and clear in the background running WIN 3.11. #6: Scanning a Map of your City is a good idea. Uses 2-3 MB and helps a lot. #7: I was impressed how I could call system functions like volume or even BIOS without crashing DOOM or other protected shells. I had other laptops, none could handle this. #8: I prefer a DST (cheap) color display over a fancy TFT display. The image quality at typical working distance is nearly as good, except for high speed moving actions (games), but at an angle you can't see a thing. I find it comfortable that others can't peek when I'm using it in public. #9: For those using the 520MB HDD or bigger versions, note that the critical value for big cluster sizes and thus more waste are partitions >511 MB. Better use 2 Partitions here. #10: With the ThinkPad now, I don't regard it as a computer, rather as a TypeWriter, TapeRecorder, Diary, CityMap, PhysiciansDeskReference, Dictionary, ChessBoard, Translator, RoutePlanner, GameBoy, Bookshelf, Terminal, TelephoneDirectory, FAX, I-Ging ... I try to automate the paths to each function, so I don't think of it as something to fiddle with, but something that works. Please suggest other 'REAL' applications, not just system or utility aspects. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Questions: #1: The Suspend/Resume functions are a bit tricky sometimes. Sometimes the machine wakes as soon as I open the lid, but sometimes keystrokes or mouse moves wont do and I have to tickle it with a system procedure, like going to the Bios, but sometimes I even have to use the power switch. It awakens ok but I'm always a bit nervous about my data. What are the parameters for this? #2: The Mouse sometimes slithers untouched after a bit of pointing, nothing bad, a little counter pressure will stop this. But is this normal ? [jberry@IslandNet.com] [getwired@tico.com] #3: My System Timer is slow sometimes, it looses hours sometimes in an instant. I presume it has to do with a certain function I am calling, but I can't pin it down exactly. Any clues ? Other people experiencing this ? #4: The Contrast function (With the Sun symbol, located on Home/End Keys) don't change anything on the display, or very very little. Only the hissing of the display is altered. Comments ? [jberry@IslandNet.com] [getwired@tico.com] #5: The Loudspeaker hisses constantly, the left channel only, with earphones plugged in. This won't change when disabling speakers by function keys only when disabling all audio in BIOS. Does IBM repair this ? [jberry@IslandNet.com] #6: Since the hissing stops when Off is selected in BIOS, I deduce that selecting Auto doesn't work since the hissing is on all the time, even when hours without sound funtions. Is this so ? [jberry@IslandNet.com] #7: My PCMCIA Modem and Ethernet cards are inserted all the time but used seldom. If the System can't handle automtic Audio shutdown (see #6), how can I test if it shuts down PCMCIA slots with Auto selected in BIOS ? #8: How long does it take them to send me my Name Plaque ? 1 Month now ... [getwired@tico.com] #9: Wouldn't it be nice if the hibernation files could be stored and be called at random ? is this possible ? #10: The Harddrive looks like a normal 2,5'' AT in a special plug-n-play casing. I didn't want to crack this case, anyone did further examination ? >Appended: Yes, they are the same, except for the TP720 (MFM-HDD) #11: I'm using the german version, with a german BIOS and the Modem disabled because of legal technicalities. If I load a US BIOS and remove the cover over the telephone jack, can I get it to work ? >Appended: Doesn't a single chip handle Sound and Modem ? Then it could work. But haven't had the hard to fracture the little fellow. #12: There is a small square lid in the front left corner (when looking at the machine from normal working position), covering just a bit of obscure cabling plugged into a connector. What's the use of this ? [getwired@tico.com] #13: A company called Portable Enhancements at pepsales@portables.com, offered CPU upgrades for soldered CPU's. I mailed them but got no answer. Anybodys got experience with them or on the possibility to upgrade at least to a AMD 486 DX4-120 ? #14: The Text-reader "Monologue for windows" sounds rather trashy, anybody using a better programm to let the butterfly talk to you ? #15: Has anybody got details of how much power is consumed getting the HDD up after suspend ? Or the display ? This could be helpfull for a realistic evaluation how much suspending makes sense #16: What is in the realm of a BIOS update ? what are the limits ? #17: What happens when I delete the hibernation file and fill the disk before it gets a chance to restore it ?

Shipments were suppose to startup again March 15th. Now you say that the brand-new 760LD is being discontinued almost as soon as it becomes available and that the 760ED is being added as a new model (I assume it's not replacing the 760CD?). Lots of strange and wonderful things happening here. Since you seem to have some inside information Gary, any idea what is really going on with the 760 models? Why all of these apparent "mid-stream" changes? Since I've waited so long for the 760CD-120 to become available, it makes sense to wait a little longer for the 760ED. Any idea when the 760ED will REALLY be available? Has it "officially" been announced yet...with part number? List price?? BTW, I was wondering why IBM didn't include a PCI-bus, 16MB memory standard, and 2Mb video ram in the original 760CD...seemed strange with everyone else headed in that direction. Sounds like some IBM honcho thought the same thing and decided to "fix" it. I'd sure love to know what REALLY happen...I suppose we'll never know for sure.

I have the same attitude toward these things (it does the same thing in WIndows 95). Perhaps I dislike them more since the product doesn't work on my TP 700C and there is no uninstall for the software. However, it is easy to do what you want. In Win95, you can right button the icon and a menu which include "close" comes up; there should be something similar in Win 3. If you want to stop it from starting up, look in \windows\win.ini for something like LOAD=D:\QBWIN\DITTO.EXE That's the line that is starting it up automatically. I don't know why they needed to do that.

Tom, Have a look at your win.ini file in your \windows\ directory. Specifically, look for load= and run= statements. You can comment them out with a simple semi-colon at the beginning of each line. That way you can have them if you want them by removing the semi-colon.

The audio from a CDROM is digital, and the PC has to decode the information and turn it into sound. All of the work to play an audio CD is done by the CDROM player itself. That's why you can start playing a music CD, shut down the Laptop, and in most cases you can get the music to keep going. In order to listen to the audio through your Thinkpad speakers you would have to get a patch coard, run it from the Audio Out on the back of the CDROM, and into the Microphone jack (or Audio In jack) on the Thinkpad, and then give it a go. The audio will probably sound like crap, but it should work with a little messing around. Basically all you are doing is patching your audio directly to the speakers in the Thinkpad. It is easier to just go and punish the person who took you headphones! :P RK ---------- From: owner-thinkpad To: TP750 Subject: Audio CD problems Date: Friday, March 15, 1996 10:11PM So... The work load increases and I slip a CD into the CD-ROM hooked to my faithful TP. I have a little gizmo that controls the CD player as an audio unit; the headphones are connected to the CD unit. Yesterday someone walked away with my headphones - no they didn't get stolen, just borrowed. Suddenly the urge for some music (no, I ain't telling; it's bad enough with the OS wars!) - no problem, my TP750 has audio abilities! Er... er... Ok. I confess: work really suffered... I spent a few hours trying to figure out how to get sound from the CD unit through the built in speaker - all I managed was pure silence! Any suggestions?

As suggested, I checked the "load" line in win.ini and found the culpert. Now that this is behind me, I'm off on another quest. Some of you may remember that I coupled a GPS receiver to my machine via the serial port and used it on a long trip to plot my location on a extrememly detailed map that came on CD ROM. I also have a tiny B/W TV camera that's about the size of matchbox and have used it (held on to the TP's case with velcro) to take "snapshots" via the video in connection. The problem with this is that the camera needs an external power supply in the 8-14 volt range. It only pulls about 250 milliwats. To supply this, I made up a rechargable battery pack and hold it to the laptop's case with velcro as well. Frankly, this solution seems bad and I'd like to tap the laptops' battery for the power connection. Here's my question- do any of you all know which pins on which ports might carry battery voltage in the 1/2 amp range? I read a comment once where a person mentioned the mouse port as supplying voltage, but I am not sure. In addition, the tiny plug on the video connector is fine, but the magnet surrounding the wire (to comply with FCC specs) is cumbersome and a pain in the rump. Does anyone know what havoc I'd wreak if I did a "magnetectomy?" Finally, the plug going into the "video in" socket has three pins plus the case itself as a ground, or "common." Has anyone dissected the "S" video/composite adapter at the other end of the short wire to determine which wires or pins actually carry the composite signal to the "video in" port. By knowing this, I could further reduce the size and bulk of the connection by directly soldering the two conductors from the camera to just the tiny pin via a short length of coax. It sure would be nice if the ports came with a schematic . I'll keep you all posted of my progress. Tom Thomas A.

Then you must get your ir port on the laptop right. I use com2 2F8 int 3. If you have pcmcia cards installed, remove them till you have it working. Then on the desktop end make sure that your ir receiver is externally powered. I found with the Adaptec ir port, that external power is needed to go at top speed. Without external power the unit would cause program lock-up during transferring of files. Also try running your port speeds at slower baud rates till you get everything up and running.

Nope. This doesn't make any sense, Doug. It's not a voltage differential that causes a phone system to kick a line into an engaged state. In fact, it is the characteristics of the tones themselves. (If a person could generate the appropriate tones with the human voice, the phone system would in fact dial.) What does this mean? I can think of three possible situations: 1) The local phone system has problems with its monitoring sensitivity. 2) The MHz is not generating signals at the appropriate level. 3) The MHz DSP is generating skewed frequencies. I would think the first is most likely, since it seems to be the only real variable here. -Michael From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Sat Mar 16 17:09:31 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA24743; Sat, 16 Mar 96 17:09:31 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id RAA12137; Sat, 16 Mar 1996 17:08:51 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.4); Sat, 16 Mar 1996 17:07:57 -0500 Received: from Eisner.DECUS.Org by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id RAA12038; Sat, 16 Mar 1996 17:07:54 -0500 Received: from Eisner.DECUS.Org by Eisner.DECUS.Org (PMDF V4.2-12 #4291) id <01I2EWQW6WZ400FB64@Eisner.DECUS.Org>; Sat, 16 Mar 1996 17:07:38 -0500 (EST) Date: Sat, 16 Mar 1996 17:07:38 -0500 (EST) From: billy@mix.com Subject: Re: pcmcia dial tone passthrough In-Reply-To: Sender: YOUDELMAN@Eisner.DECUS.ORG To: thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Message-Id: <827014058.670527.YOUDELMAN@Eisner.DECUS.Org> Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Mail-System-Version: > anyway, i got a dial tone, and i heard the numbers being dialed > (touch tone), but the dial tone did not go away, but sat there.

To the person wanting power for a video camera from his thinkpad: I think the only port where you can get anywhere near that much power is the pcmcia port, whose pinout is well documented (it is a standard). And even that is pushing it. You really are asking for an awful lot of power. Re getting to the pcmcia port, the best way is probably with a card extender, or you can get an empty card case. You can get stuff like that from hardware engineering rags (I don't have any titles handy but could check). I don't know about getting them in unit qtys though, except maybe as a sample. 2. Does anyone know if it's possible to use the mwave modem and sound under windows 95? How would I go about setting it up? Thanks. 3. I'm looking to buy a spare disk pack (with caddy) for my 755cx. If you have a favorite supplier or have a pack for sale, let me know. I'd consider either a large capacity pack (1.2 GB) or a low cost, lower capacity pack. 4.

This can be especially the case with home wiring. Anyway, if you can, try reversing the wires and see if it makes a difference.

I discovered that one of Win 95's known bugs is that if you use Com 2 for a modem, and Com 1 for a mouse, (or vice-versa) they may conflict. Placing them on Coms 1 and 3 clears up the problem. Your problems sound like Win95 problems, not IBM TP problems. You might check out Compuserve's Win95 forum: it has lots of information about the depressing number of bugs with the current version of Win95, and what the workarounds are. ----------------------------------- Roger J.

Easy to answer, clones manufactured by second tier manufacturers are always cheaper. There can be many reasons for this -- note for example the prominent word "limited" in the guarantee notice for the Micro Millenia notebook (at least in the ad). So, investigate guarantees and service records. Also, make absolutely sure you try out the notebook before committing to it. Specs don't mean much! I certainly agre that specwise the MMT looks good! IBM thinkpads certainly command premium prices, but you defiitely get premium quality in return.

I believe that the person having difficulties told us that he was able to dial out on the same line with a different modem, using tone dial DSS. This would rule out the possibility of pulse only service.

BTW- IMHO, the answer to the person's problem with his own TP not breaking the dial tone was that he needed to try PULSE DIALING instead of TONE DIALING to see if it made a difference. Before I start with the description of my own "traveling kit" with breakout box for modem connects, let me give a tiny bit of explanation of the USA phone wiring convention. Most wires to telephones have 2 or 4 conductors. It only takes two of these to make a modem work, so if there are 4 wires, that means there are two POSSIBLE combinations that could work. Think of these as the "inner" and "outer" pair. By convention, these are color coded as RED/GREEN as the inner pair and BLACK/YELLOW as the outer pair. (If you don't believe me, put on your glasses and look very closely at the tiny plug at the end of a phone cord >. I'm not going to get into a "tip and ring," or "battery and AC" discussion, but want to let you know that the phone circuit isn't like a typical circuit. Its weird. Because of this, and because installers make mistakes, the phone circuit in your office, house or motel room may work fine for telephones, but be a mess for modems. In the USA, we have an electronics chain called Radio Shack, which sells all kinds of telephone gadgetry, in addition to most of the stuff any experimenter would want for any elecrical project One of the things Radio Shack sell is a phone circuit tester, about $5 US. It is a tiny box with a red and green LED on the top and a short cord with RJ11 jack on the end. To work, you merely plug it into a phone jack. If you get a green LED, the "polarity and voltage" are OK. A red LED means that the "polarity" is reversed. No LED means that the line is dead. There's a problem, though. In most phone and modem circuits, only the inner pair of wires (RED/GREEN) run up to a single-line telephone. Should the phone be wired oddly (or wired this way deliberately) you have no way of connecting to the OUTER pair of wires and/or reversing the "polarity" of the circuit. That's where my little box comes in handy. Essentially, my little breakout box does this: I hope my description is adequate for any of you who want to build your own to do so. I may also make up a wiring diagram and put it in my FTP site for anyone to download, but that'll be later on. The box has an "IN" and "OUT" RJ11 female connector. A standard 4-WIRE phone cord connects between the "IN" connector and the wall jack of the phone system. The "OUT" connector on the box uses only an "inner" pair of RED/GREEN and connects with another cord to the TP755's modem port. On the side of the box are three switches. The first switch is a DPDT toggle switch. The incoming four wires connect to the OUTER pairs of poles, with RED and BLACK on the "left" side and GREEN and YELLOW on the "right" side. The center pair of poles are wired with RED on the "left" side and GREEN on the "right" side. As you can see, toggling this switch causes the CENTER poles to alternate between the incoming RED/GREEN pair and the BLACK/YELLOW pair, giving you access to either pair with a flip of the switch, The RED/GREEN leads from the center poles of the first switch pass to a second switch, which is a DPDT also. These connect to ONE END of the DPDT switch: ie the "left and right" poles, and not to the center poles. A second pair of "jumper" wires are connected at the same time to these "left and right" poles and crisscross as they connect to the other poles at the opposite end of the same switch. In otherwords, one end of the "left" side of the DPDT switch is RED and the other end (because of the crossover) would be GREEN. The "right" side would be the opposite. By doing this, when the second switch is toggled, its center poles would be RED/GREEN or GREEN/RED, depending on which end-pair of contacts were being made at the time. In otherwords, the second switch reverses the "polarity" of the wires that has been selected by the first switch. The little tester I bought from Radio Shack "shorts out" the circuit, so it cannot be used at the same time that the modem or phone is actually in use. Therefore, it is necessary to connect it to the center pair of contacts of the second switch via a momentary pushbutton switch. Here a simple SPST Normally OPEN switch will do fine, since having just one wire connected continually means nothing. Therfore, the tester is glued with epoxy to the side of the little box that holds the switches and RJ11 "in" and "out" connectors. Its RED wire is soldered, together with the RED wire running to the RJ11 "out" connector to one side of the center pair of the second switch. Its GREEN lead is soldered to one connector of the SPST Normally OPEN pushbutton switch and another GREEN wire runs from the other pushbutton connection to the other side of the center pair of the second switch. Finally, a GREEN wire from that same center pole of the second switch runs to the GREEN terminal of the RJ11 "out" connector. WHEW! Now in operation, you connect the "in" RJ11 to the telephone cord or to the wall. The "out" is connected to the TP's modem. However, before dialing, you press the momentary button briefly and look to see if you get a green LED. If you do, you have power on whatever pair you're connecte to and the polarity is OK. Toggling switch "one" will cycle beteen the inner and outer pair of wires coming in from the wall, should you have no LED at all. If the LED is RED, toggling switch two reverses the "polarity," giving you a GREEN LED- and therefore a good connection to the modem. Since many of you all in this maillist are engineers or are in science, I hope that I haven't offended you with this little simplistic gizmo. However, there are some of us who are from the business community and need a LOT of guidance in making little gizmos to make our life easier . I use my breakout box when traveling and can safely tell you that about HALF of the damn hotel rooms I've been in have the "polarity" reversed or use, say, an outer pair of conductors instead of an inner pair.

In-Reply-To: Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I am also interested in whether the mwave modem in the TP 701 can handle foreign lines. Will it work in Asia? (as well as Europe?). If it's required, how can I get a telephone kit for compatability? Maybe it would be worthwhile to just get a pc card modem. Also, is the 701's mwave upgradable to 28.8 like the 755? And, one more question, does anybody else have a 701 that seems slightly rounded-- warped I should hesitate to say-- so that it wobbles a bit when flat on the desk? Thanks in advance!

"White power" racist music is not a legitimate form of music deserving of a separate rec.music newsgroup, but rather a political group masquerading as a musical one.

Hi fellow 'netters, My name is Shyamala Raperjee and I recently started using a magazine subscription club in the USA that has a FREE 1 yr. magazine subscription deal with your first paid order- and I have been very pleased with them. They have over 1,500 different USA titles that they can ship to any country on a subscription basis. As for computer magazines from the USA, they more of a selection than I ever knew even existed. They have magazines for most every area of interest in their list of 1,500 titles. Within the USA, for their USA members, they are cheaper than all their competitors and even the publishers themselves. This is their price guarantee. Overseas, on the average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half of what the newsstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines. On some titles they are as little as one-tenth of what the newsstands charge. They feel that mgazines should not be a luxury overseas. In the USA, people buy magazines and then toss them after reading them for just a few minutes or hours. They are so cheap in the USA! Well, this company would like to make it the same way for their overseas members. They are also cheaper than all their competitors in the USA and overseas, including the publishers themselves! This is their price guarantee. Around one-half their business comes from overseas, so they are very patient with new members who only speak limited English as a 2nd language. Their prices are so cheap because they deal direct with each publisher and cut-out all the middlemen. They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell. Please do not email me as I am just a happy customer and a *busy* student. I don't have time to even complete my thesis in time, let alone run my part-time software business! Please fill out the above form and carefully follow the intructions above to get it to them via fax or smail. They guarantee to beat all their competitors' prices. Sometimes they are less than half of the next best deal I have been able to find and other times, just a little cheaper - but I have never found a lower rate yet. They assured me that if I ever do, they will beat it. They have been very helpful and helped me with all my address changes as I haved moved from one country to another. They have a deal where you can get a free 1 yr. sub to a new magazine from a special list of over 295 popular titles published in the USA. They will give you this free 1 yr. sub when you place your first paid order with them to a renewal or new subscription to any of the over 1,500 different popular USA titles they sell. They can arrange delivery to virtually any country and I think they have clients in around 45 or 46 countries now. Outside the USA there is a charge for FPH (foreign postage and handling) (on both paid and freebie subs) that varies from magazine to magazine. I have found their staff to be very friendly and courteous. They even helped me with an address change when I moved from one country to another. The owner thinks of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members" (even though there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he accepts as a new member. When he sets you up as a new member, he himself calls you personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or sometimes he has one of his assistants call. He is kind of quirky sometimes - he insists on setting up new members by phone so he can say hi to everyone (I sure wouldn't want to have his phone bills!), but you can place future orders (after your first order) via E-mail. He has some really friendly young ladies working for him, who seem to know just as much as he does about this magazine stuff. If you live overseas, he will even call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he still makes all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long distance rates are cheaper then. He only likes to take new members from referrals from satisfied existing members and he does virtually no advertising. When I got set-up, they had a 2-3 week waiting list for new members to be called back so that they could join up. (Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately when you call. ) I think they are able to get back to prospective new members the same day or within a few days now, as they have increased their staff. I am not sure about this.........but if you email the above form to them, that is the way to get started! They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell. They then send you email that outlines how his club works and the list of free choices that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what he sells; and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly, no-pressure no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and answer all your questions. Once you get in, you'll love them. I do. Sincerely, Shyamala Raperjee ps. please forward a copy of this message to all your friends on the net who you think might be interested in it! It is a great deal! If you join and then they join after you, you will earn a free 1 yr. subscription for each new person you get to join after you join! If you exceed 25 referrals, they let you use them to give away as gifts, for Christmas, Chanukah or any other occasion. Please be kind enough to mention my name when you join. I will then get a free magazine for a year for referring you. Thank you.

Sounds like you need to install the MWave software (it is not included with WIn95) in order to make your modem work. Either install 2.xx for Win3.11, or look at the MWave site (http://watson.mbb.sfu.ca/) and download 2.10 for Win95. Install this, and you should have a functioning modem. > > 3.)

Resolution from the Dock II is the same as that of the TP's external video port, (which varies by TP model). There is no actual video circuitry in the Dock itself, just a replicated port. >if i really wanted to go nuts, i assume i could throw a stealth >board into one of the ISA slots. right ? I have an STB Nitro 2 Meg in my Dock II. It works well under '95, but it *is* tricky to configure. (Thanks to Ted Frederick who did the legwork here.) I don't know quite how this would work under other OS's. I have heard that NONE of the ATI cards will work, and I'm fairly sure that Diamond no longer makes any ISA based cards. -Mike --- Michael Klenner East: klennerm@is.nyu.edu New York University West: mklenner@pacificnet.net Tisch School of the Arts http://pages.nyu.edu/~mdk1143 Institute of Film & Television talk: michael@24frames.com --- From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Tue Mar 19 17:18:02 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA08465; Tue, 19 Mar 96 17:18:02 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id RAA04633; Tue, 19 Mar 1996 17:15:54 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.4); Tue, 19 Mar 1996 17:15:06 -0500 Received: from globalvision.net by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id RAA04471; Tue, 19 Mar 1996 17:15:04 -0500 Received: from jloyless (c71.globalvision.net) by globalvision.net (5.0/SMI-SVR4) id AA05614; Tue, 19 Mar 1996 17:13:07 +0500 Date: Tue, 19 Mar 1996 17:13:06 +0500 Message-Id: <9603192213.AA05614@ globalvision.net> X-Sender: jloyless@globalmail.globalvision.net X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.1.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: thinkpad@cs.utk.edu From: Jane Loyless Subject: Dock II & NEC 6XI I have a NEC 6XI CD-ROM that I'm trying to install in a Dock II.

With my external NEC 6Xi, I had to set termination on it, then *manually* set termination on the adapter (I also have an internal SCSI disk drive). I don't trust the automatic termination on the adapter. Try that? Cheers, ssh -- Steve Hultquist Worldwide Solutions, Inc.

I confess to some confusion about what "Cellular" or "Cellular Ready" means. I also confess to not having played around with the subject YET . For example, we use a cellular-type of telephone called the Tele-GO phone. When at home, the phone communicates with its base station and acts precisely as any other cordless phone in our home- but in the 900 MHz range. When the handset cannot communicate with the base station, as in distance, it automatically switches over to the cellular mode. The printed material that came with the phone describes a connector cord that can connect it to a modem. Does this mean I can connect it to the Mwave modem port on my TP755CD, or must I first purchase another PCMCIA card modem that is "cellular ready?" Since the Mwave modem is programmable, why can't it be programmed to duplicat a "cellular ready" modem- whatever that is? BTW- for those of you who might be carrying your laptop around an office or hospital, you might consider the Tele-Go type of dual phone- particularly if it would give you free communications access to a phone line when within range of the base station. On my own setup, that appears to be about 1000'. Tom Thomas A.

If your cellular has a phonejack (some do) then you can use the XJ2144 to talk through it... Kinda misleading, I would say...

Coming from the Real Estate and Financial community, I think that there would be a lot of use for a camera fastened to the TP, if it didn't take up a lot of room, weigh too much or take up too much power. For example, Real Estate appraisers, insurance claims adjustors and all caualty adjustors routinely take polaroids to document their paperwork. Why not just point the back of the TP to the item of interest and click on the video capture button? Hmmm. . . how about a teaching physician being able to capture a patient's problem on camera as he charts it? How about a police officer documenting a collision scene as he fills out the report on his TP? More to come as I keep tinkering . Thomas A.

He told me that it is printed in the product specifications that the battery only has one year warranty while the rest of the unit has 3 years. I don't have the specifications at hand so I really cannot argue with him. I've tried to have the battery replaced on two different TP750 units through different vendors with no luck. I wonder if any one on the net has seen this limitation of the warranty or is this something IBM tells me in the hope of incresing the sales?

A couple of comments on batteries. I have never seen a battery fail, but I am very careful: Never start a recharge without going all the way down (so nice and easy to do on the TP with the recharge option), and never leave a battery in the machine for a long time cycling between 90-100%. Note that with the Li-Ion batteries, these precautions are unnecessary (indeed the 90-100 cycling business does not occur with li-ion's, they always keep a 100% charge inside the machine). P.S. I note with Li-Ion's, that I can keep my 760CD suspended for days, with relatively little battery drain, whereas before, the combination ofbattery drain and decay with the Nimh batteries meant rather short suspend times. That's handy, I have not rebooted my OS/2 system for weeks now.

You need to use the setup to enable the port, but you also need to disable a device with the PS2 command. I had this same problem, and I ended up disabling the IR device via software, and enabling the RS-232 port via hardware. #---------------------------------------------------------------------# # ** Trying to find the meaning of life and our existance, this is ** # #Mark Bell * 800 College Drive #104 * Vineland, NJ * 08360 *6093274029# #--------------->Email: bytehead@interramp.com<-----------------------# From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Sat Mar 23 16:06:07 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA26577; Sat, 23 Mar 96 16:06:07 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id QAA21579; Sat, 23 Mar 1996 16:05:04 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.4); Sat, 23 Mar 1996 15:57:07 -0500 Received: from tuna.mit.edu (jokim@TUNA.MIT.EDU [18.250.0.56]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id PAA21100; Sat, 23 Mar 1996 15:57:05 -0500 Received: (from jokim@localhost) by tuna.mit.edu (8.6.12/8.6.9) id PAA13319; Sat, 23 Mar 1996 15:57:23 -0500 Date: Sat, 23 Mar 1996 15:57:21 -0500 (EST) From: "John H.

Perhaps it didn't get posted the first time. Consequently, I'm sending it again. The original post. Recently a client went to England and Scotland on business and he was unable to connect to the telephone system so that he could dial into his ISP and to send and receive faxes. I would appreciate it someone could advise me/us as to how they have their modems set up to handle the European telephone systems. He has an Apex 28.8 cellular fax/modem and an IBM 28.8 fax modem. Are there any particular codes that should go in the initialazion string for the modem. How do people who travel to Europe deal with this problem? What about Asia? Any advise?? Currently, all modem functions work fine in North America. Thanks very much for all responses.

Hi fellow 'netters, My name is Lucy Whitten and I recently started using a magazine subscription club in the USA that has a FREE 1 yr. magazine subscription deal with your first paid order- and I have been very pleased with them. They have over 1,500 different USA titles that they can ship to any country on a subscription basis. As for computer magazines from the USA, they more of a selection than I ever knew even existed. They have magazines for most every area of interest in their list of 1,500 titles. Within the USA, for their USA members, they are cheaper than all their competitors and even the publishers themselves. This is their price guarantee. Overseas, on the average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half of what the newsstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines. On some titles they are as little as one-tenth of what the newsstands charge. They feel that mgazines should not be a luxury overseas. In the USA, people buy magazines and then toss them after reading them for just a few minutes or hours. They are so cheap in the USA! Well, this company would like to make it the same way for their overseas members. They are also cheaper than all their competitors in the USA and overseas, including the publishers themselves! This is their price guarantee. Around one-half their business comes from overseas, so they are very patient with new members who only speak limited English as a 2nd language. Their prices are so cheap because they deal direct with each publisher and cut-out all the middlemen. They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell. Please do not email me as I am just a happy customer and a *busy* student. I don't have time to even complete my thesis in time, let alone run my part-time software business! Please fill out the above form and carefully follow the intructions above to get it to them via fax or smail. They guarantee to beat all their competitors' prices. Sometimes they are less than half of the next best deal I have been able to find and other times, just a little cheaper - but I have never found a lower rate yet. They assured me that if I ever do, they will beat it. They have been very helpful and helped me with all my address changes as I haved moved from one country to another. They have a deal where you can get a free 1 yr. sub to a new magazine from a special list of over 295 popular titles published in the USA. They will give you this free 1 yr. sub when you place your first paid order with them to a renewal or new subscription to any of the over 1,500 different popular USA titles they sell. They can arrange delivery to virtually any country and I think they have clients in around 45 or 46 countries now. Outside the USA there is a charge for FPH (foreign postage and handling) (on both paid and freebie subs) that varies from magazine to magazine. I have found their staff to be very friendly and courteous. They even helped me with an address change when I moved from one country to another. The owner thinks of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members" (even though there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he accepts as a new member. When he sets you up as a new member, he himself calls you personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or sometimes he has one of his assistants call. He is kind of quirky sometimes - he insists on setting up new members by phone so he can say hi to everyone (I sure wouldn't want to have his phone bills!), but you can place future orders (after your first order) via E-mail. He has some really friendly young ladies working for him, who seem to know just as much as he does about this magazine stuff. If you live overseas, he will even call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he still makes all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long distance rates are cheaper then. He only likes to take new members from referrals from satisfied existing members and he does virtually no advertising. When I got set-up, they had a 2-3 week waiting list for new members to be called back so that they could join up. (Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately when you call. ) I think they are able to get back to prospective new members the same day or within a few days now, as they have increased their staff. I am not sure about this.........but if you email the above form to them, that is the way to get started! They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell. They then send you email that outlines how his club works and the list of free choices that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what he sells; and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly, no-pressure no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and answer all your questions. Once you get in, you'll love them. I do. Sincerely, Lucy Whitten ps. please forward a copy of this message to all your friends on the net who you think might be interested in it! It is a great deal! If you join and then they join after you, you will earn a free 1 yr. subscription for each new person you get to join after you join! If you exceed 25 referrals, they let you use them to give away as gifts, for Christmas, Chanukah or any other occasion. Please be kind enough to mention my name when you join. I will then get a free magazine for a year for referring you. Thank you.

However, the system will still continue to work, and the low battery alerts (anoying sound, blinking battery light) indicate when the new battery is about to die.

When combined with generously sized screens, large hard disks, and multimedia features, Pentium/133 notebooks approach the functionality and performance of desktop PCs. For this miniroundup, we tested the first Pentium/133 notebooks on the market: AST Research's Ascentia P50 and Micron's Millennia TransPort P133. Both sell for about $5,000 fully loaded, weigh about 7 pounds each, and are top-flight performers. They are likely to appeal both to those looking for a portable computer with staying power as applications demand ever more processing power and to traveling executives who want the muscle and multimedia capabilities of a high-end desktop PC. The Need for Speed In addition to pushing the clock speed of the CPU to new heights, the Pentium/133 also boosts performance by using the broader bandwidth of a 66-MHz motherboard. The result is about a 30 percent improvement in all-around performance that goes beyond the 11 percent speed difference between Pentium/120 and Pentium/133 processors. The notebook version of the Pentium/133 delivers these performance gains while providing at least 2 hours of battery life, thanks to the chip's energy-efficient architecture. The processor is manufactured with Intel's 0.35-micron process and wrapped in film-thin Tape Carrier Packaging, which is then attached directly to the motherboard. This mobile Pentium/133 uses dual-voltage technology: The computational core operates at a miserly 2.9 volts (2.9V) while running externally at the standard 3.3V. All told, the processor draws just 3.3 watts of power at peak usage. The final piece of the portable puzzle is Intel's mobile Triton chip set, also known as 430MX. This PCI-based core-logic chip set streamlines operations and supports sophisticated power-conservation measures. Pentium/133 Redux? Our last major roundup of notebooks ("On the Road with the Pentium," January 23, 1996) contained a trio of Pentium/133 notebooks. Each, however, used a traditional 3.3V desktop processor. As a result, battery life and performance of the ACW SoundPad IIIB and the FutureMate 5413T and FutureMate 5513D twins were disappointing; we report the benchmark test results of the FutureMate 5413T alongside those of the Ascentia P50 and TransPort P133 for comparison. With all these units have going for them and with other manufacturers expected to follow with equally exciting notebooks in the near future, the hardest part may be deciding which notebook is right for you. AST Ascentia P50 AST Research has built a dual personality into its $5,098 Ascentia P50. As a result, it is just as comfortable being a powerful notebook for traveling executives as it is being a desktop replacement system. AST started with all the necessary ingredients: a Pentium/133 processor, 256K of external cache, an 11.3-inch active-matrix screen, a 4X CD-ROM drive, an 800MB hard disk, and lithium ion batteries. To that, it added multimedia features, a touch pad, and even a joystick/MIDI port. The case includes an RJ-11 telephone connector for an optional 28.8-Kbps internal data/fax modem that AST says will be available soon; for now, a PC Card modem will suffice. The Ascentia P50 measures 2.3 by 11.3 by 8.9 inches and weighs 7 pounds 2 ounces. It has a travel weight of 7 pounds 14 ounces with the AC adapter, which measures just 1.3 by 2.3 by 4.5 inches. We tested an Ascentia P50 that was based on Intel's mobile Triton chip set and had 16MB of EDO memory. For audio, the Ascentia P50 uses the 16-bit Sound Blaster Vibra circuitry; there is a pair of stereo speakers and a microphone in the palm rest. One of the strong points of the Ascentia P50 is its bright, 11.3-inch Super VGA screen, which is capable of displaying 64,000 colors at 800- by 600-pixel resolution. The rear panel of the Ascentia P50 has the standard complement of connectors: serial and parallel ports, an external mouse/keyboard port, a VGA connector, and a slot for connecting a port replicator. There's also a microphone audio jack, as well as an IrDA port for wireless communications. The Ascentia P50 can accommodate two Type II PC Cards or one Type II and one Type III card. The Ascentia P50 is one of the first notebooks to incorporate the Windows 95-specific keys. In addition, the convenient touch pad allows you to drag the pointer or cursor to the desired location and then tap the surface to activate the location, although it took a while for us to get used to this feature. Although it posted stellar scores across the board, the Ascentia P50's score of 54 on our Winstone 96 tests was tied by the TransPort P133. On our CPUmark processor tests, the Ascentia P50 barely beat the TransPort P133, with scores of 257 and 259 on 16- and 32-bit tasks, respectively. On our WinDrain battery test, which measures battery life with power conservation disabled, the Ascentia P50's lithium ion battery lasted 2 hours 34 minutes, half an hour longer than that of the TransPort P133. If you're willing to sacrifice the CD-ROM and floppy disk drive, you can install a second, smaller lithium ion battery pack that contains 8 cells, rather than the 12 that are in the primary battery. With its excellent performance and well-rounded personality, the Ascentia P50 is an attractive alternative to a desktop PC in the office, on the road, and even at home. --JM AST Ascentia P50. List price: With Pentium/133 CPU, 16MB RAM, 256K external cache, 800MB hard disk, 11.3-inch active-matrix display, $5,098. AST Research Inc., Irvine, CA; 800-876-4278, 714-727-4141; http://www.ast .com. Micron Millennia Transport P133 Micron, a company that has garnered several Editors' Choice awards for desktop PCs, has branched out into notebooks. By all accounts, the $5,498 TransPort P133 is nearly a dead ringer for IBM's ThinkPad 760CD (First Looks, November 21, 1995) but performs better and saves you about $2,500. The TransPort P133, which is manufactured by Sanyo, includes all you're likely to need on the road: Pentium/133 performance, a 1.3GB hard disk, lithium ion batteries, a 4X CD-ROM, infrared communications, Sound Blaster audio, and an 11.3-inch active-matrix display capable of 800- by 600-pixel resolution and 64,000 colors. With a travel weight of 7 pounds 2 ounces and dimensions of 11.0 by 8.5 by 2.3 inches, the TransPort P133 is roughly the same size as and a little lighter than the ThinkPad 760CD, which has a 12.1-inch screen. On the left side of the TransPort P133, you'll find space for a pair of Type II PC Cards or a single Type III card. The right side contains a modular bay for either the system's floppy disk drive or a battery. In the front, the CD-ROM module can be swapped for a battery, the floppy disk drive, or a second hard disk, raising internal data storage to more than 2.5GB. Depending on what's installed, this modularity results in seven distinct computing personalities, ranging from two hard disks for information-safe mirrored data to a setup with CD-ROM and battery installed for multimedia programming on the road or a double-battery notebook for the long haul. There are two penalties, though, because the floppy disk drive is not hot-swappable, and you can't have both the CD-ROM and the floppy disk drive installed and run the system on battery power. To have it all, you'll need to have access to an electrical outlet. While the Ascentia P50 provides a touch pad, the TransPort P133 offers the flexibility of either a similar touch pad or a keyboard-mounted pointing stick. Unfortunately, you can't have both activated at once. On the other hand, the Ascentia P50's keyboard includes the three Windows 95-specific keys, whereas the TransPort P133's doesn't. Three unexpected extras stand out. First, the TransPort P133 has a pair of IrDA infrared transmission ports, one in the back and one in the front. Also, at 0.9 by 4.4 by 2.2 inches and 8 ounces, the TransPort P133's power adapter is among the smallest and lightest around. Finally, there are ports for both an external keyboard and a mouse. Top-flight Performance Based on Intel's mobile Triton chip set, the TransPort P133 comes with 256K of external cache and 16MB of EDO memory. Its performance set a new standard for notebook computing with top scores on our Winstone 96 (54), Graphics WinMark 96 (12.3 million pixels per second), and Disk WinMark 96 (781) tests. The system's 16-bit and 32-bit CPUmark processor test results were slightly behind those of the Ascentia P50. With power conservation disabled, the TransPort P133 lasted 2 hours 4 minutes on our WinDrain battery test. But with the TransPort P133's flexible power management in place, the system lasted quite a bit longer. If you put the system into suspend mode, it'll take a little experience to remember that the tiny resume button, which has a coffee-cup logo, is above the right-side drive bay. The TransPort P133 has an optional multimedia Port Replicator that includes a pair of speakers and an Ethernet adapter as well as a power adapter for changing the unit's batteries and a variety of audio and video connectors. At $299, it's a bargain for those who split their time between the office and the road. If you are turned off by the price of full-featured notebooks, the Micron Millennia TransPort P133 will seem like a breath of fresh air, as long as you don't venture far from an electrical outlet.--BN Micron Millennia TransPort P133.

I would again liek to >thank you in advance for all your help. The Micron Millennia looks like a real nice machine and has been receiving some fine reviews. Is it available yet? The "hot swap" issue is important for many users and I personally would prefer the 12.1" screen of the 760 over the 11.3" screen. I do lots of graphic designs for Web sites and never have too much screen on a laptop. On the other hand, I'm tired of waiting for IBM to get their act together on the 760 series and I'm not sure I can wait for them to produce a model similar to the Micron Millennia. Time is money. And with IBM, time and money never seem to be an issue...as long as it's my time and my money. :-( The new 760 models will probably be available long after similar models have become available from their competitors and then they'll charge us "thousands" of dollars more for the privilege of buying it "late". I'm a long time ThinkPad user and have always appreciated IBM's overall quality and service. Although they often seem to take the lead with progressive designs like the 760CD, they seem to have enormous problems delivering them and are often "me too" products by the time they are available. I've been waiting for months for a 760CD-120 model I ordered and now it appears that this model will be "old" even before it's available. The newer 760ED is suppose to be a PCI-bus 133Mhz Pentium version similar to the Micron machine, but if IBM does their normal production turnaround, it probably won't be available for many months...just in time to be behind everyone else again. :-( So, I can buy "older" technology ThinkPads at exaggerated prices or continue to wait. Frankly, I'm growing tired of this and have started to consider other laptops. With the laptop market the way it is, what functionality or quality would I be losing by buying a Micron Millennia today instead of waiting months for IBM to produce? Look at the money I would save too...hell, I could upgrade my desktop machine with the latest 166MHz Pentium/motherboard with the money I would save and would get immediate use from it. Also, I never understood why IBM isn't the true performance leader in laptops...they always seem to produce ThinkPads that benchmark in the middle or towards the rear-end of the pack. And availability is becoming a real issue for me too. Why should I spent $2000-$3000 more for a ThinkPad that becomes available long after everyone else? I don't mind spending the extra money for a top-of-the-line ThinkPad, it just doesn't make sense to buy it knowing that the next generation is only weeks away and that its resale value is going to drop like a ton of bricks. I experienced this last year with the 755CX. The huge amount of extra money you have to spend to be the "first kid on the block" with the latest-greatest ThinkPad model wouldn't be bad IF the new models were real and available within a reasonable period of time. But this is seldom the case. I guess the smart move is to wait a bit longer and buy the come-lately ThinkPad when the price does drop. Sorry for the long winded post...it's very late at night and I'm very tired. My new 760 ThinkPad is also very late, and I'm tired of waiting. _\//__ --Sandy / _ _ \ ( @ @ ) +-------.oOOo--()--oOOo.-----+-------------------------+ | InterNet : sandy@sandy.com | Reflections By Design | | Web Page : www.sandy.com | Web Design & Production | | Location : Cupertino, CA | Info?

I assume by the "add on gadget" you mean the holder for the second hard drive. Here too the 755 drives are too large. HOWEVER, if you are willing to attack the plastic gizmo with a chisel etc, you can hollow it out so that the 755 drives fit fine, and they seem to work with no difficulty. That's what I did. However, I found the whole thing of limited use, because the drive letters in OS/2 switch depending on whether or not you have the extra hard drive installed, which is a real nuisance since I wanted to use it for backup.

BIG MISTAKE. I have always been able to buy thinkpads days after they were announced, >from stores that had them in stock. If you have been waiting months for the 760CD-120, then you ordered it before it was officially available. That's a mistake I think. The 760CD-120 is in stock, or was a couple of weeks ago, at several New York stores. Is the Micron Millenium machine actually available? Just because PC magazine got one to review does not mean that it is! Certainly I can't buy it in any stores here in NYC. My advice is, cancel your 760CD order, and wait till the 760ED comes into stores, and buy one then. You will probably get a machine earlier and you will get a more powerful machine.

I'm not exactly sure, but this might be why you can order a part as a "spare" opposed to one that might be a "second" battery...." ~~~~~ the two part numbers are: 1) the part number-- used for ordering a part from pc direct (some retailers also use ibm part numbers), and 2) the fru (field replacement unit) number-- sometimes referred to as the 'fru part number,' which can be confusing. fru numbers were intended to be used only by ibm'ers to call their parts department in boulder, co. when they need something to perform warranty service. that system has evolved to one where any customer can call boulder parts and order using the fru (assuming it's still in boulder. it may have moved). last time i tried this, both sides were adamant about which number you use. boulder knew nothing of any number other than a fru & pc direct knew nothing of any number other than a pn. neither could give you the other number for your part. the confusing part is that the fru is often written on a part as 'p/n' rather than 'fru'. the funny part is that there's often a price difference between the two. i seem to recall that fru's from boulder were usually cheaper. don't remember the phone number for bouler parts, but pc direct can probably give it to you.

Wanna bet? I say mid-June the earliest and NOT in quantity...just a few units spread out over a bunch of IBM resellers. Quantity? I'd bet August... just in time for release of the "next generation". :-( So, I'll spend $8,000 for a 760ED in mid-August that will drop to $5500 by October 1st on the heels of IBM's next generation announcement of ThinkPads that we won't see until next Spring. Although there might be isolated cases of big city resellers or small vendors having a few 760CD-120s here or there for sale, IBM has not been shipping ANY ThinkPads to their larger distributors. I buy most of my ThinkPads through CDW (Computer Discount Warehouse) in Chicago because of their reasonable prices and excellent support and they are a large IBM reseller. Their IBM rep told them that IBM stopped production of 760 ThinkPads in February and won't start shipping again until at least the first week of April. I'm sure that Intel's release of the P5-133 in the TCP package and the Mobile Triton chipset in limited quantities definitely has an effect on IBM's ThinkPad production, but there seems to be other shortages (or production problems) here they're not talking about. On the other hand, having worked for large computer manufacturers here in Silicon Valley for many years, I understand how difficult it is for a computer manufacturer to design and build these sophisticated machines while technology continues to change so quickly. By the time it takes for them to "tool up", buy components, and produce machines in quantity, the technology is already "old". Obviously, very frustrating for them too. Remember when it took at least 24 months to bring a new product >from design to production? Probably closer to six months now...no wonder manufacturers in this industry seem to disappear so quickly.

I experienced this last year with the 755CX. Ignoring the other issues (we all face them), a quick explanation of the dilemma: Any quick course in Business Strategy and you'll see that virtually every industry typically has a 1 to 3 *really* major players, with some selection of 2nd tier players behind them and perhaps a huge number of smaller ones. In computers (without slicing it down the individual sections like "Mail order" or "notebooks", which you could do), clearly IBM is the major player. The funny thing is this: Usually that major player(s) are *NOT* the undisputed leader in any given field. Rather, they sort of "set the tone" or overall mood/standard for the industry, while the rest set some other standards and the many others compete in niche segments. Other companies may have a cheaper product, another may specialize in something else, etc. But ask yourself: Does IBM make the fastest computers in the world? No--that title belonged to Cray. Does IBM make the least expensive ones? Definitely not. Does IBM lead the market in software? Not in PC's, but they have a respectable showing (now that they bought Lotus). Do they provide the best systems integration? Probably not, but they're certainly no slouch. You're probably seeing the sense of it here, and clearly this is the case in the computer industry. The ThinkPads line is not the fastest notebook available, nor is it the cheapest, nor is it the lightest. But is it overall one hell of a machine? You better believe it--a far better overall package than almost any of its competitors (okay, I'm biased--but I've been burned by other machines and I'm very happy with the 'Pads I've owned). Basically put, "leading the industry" doesn't mean you're the best at everything--it means you're the best at putting everything together (at least in this case). ----- Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu http://www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle USC Graduate School of Business "Did you really think you could call up the Devil and ask him to behave?" -Fox Mulder on T.V.'s "X-Files" speaking to an occult practitioner From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Tue Mar 26 19:06:19 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA10365; Tue, 26 Mar 96 19:06:19 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id TAA14123; Tue, 26 Mar 1996 19:03:35 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.4); Tue, 26 Mar 1996 19:02:29 -0500 Received: from gatekeeper.nsc.com (gatekeeper.nsc.com [139.187.71.2]) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id TAA14017; Tue, 26 Mar 1996 19:02:25 -0500 Received: from nsc.nsc.com by gatekeeper.nsc.com (5.65/fma-120691) with SMTP; id AA27183 for THINKPAD@cs.utk.edu; Tue, 26 Mar 96 16:02:21 -0800 Received: from berlioz.nsc.com by nsc.nsc.com (5.65/1.34) with SMTP id AA24268 for THINKPAD@cs.utk.edu; Tue, 26 Mar 96 16:02:19 -0800 Received: from maradona.nsc.com by berlioz.nsc.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA27826; Tue, 26 Mar 96 15:57:47 PST Date: Tue, 26 Mar 96 15:57:47 PST From: wmng@berlioz.nsc.com (William Ng) Message-Id: <9603262357.AA27826@berlioz.nsc.com> To: THINKPAD@cs.utk.edu Subject: Re: Greetings & a Query > > Has anyone done a bios upgrade (sytpe140 ?) and is this to be > recommended?

After adding a couple of switches to the pcmcia drivers, I can see the cdrom under DOS and windows. Trouble is, I can't stop the audio portion of the Z-player from interfering with the Thinkpad's built in audio (sounds won't play when the Z-player is plugged in). I could disable the TP audio, but if I did that I'd only have sound when the Z-player was attached (wouldn't I?). Does anyone know of a way to keep the TP audio and just use the CD-ROM portion of the z-player? I asked IBM and Zenith but they didn't know if it was possible.

Don't get a Xircom for OS/2. They never finished their OS/2 Card and Socket Services driver (after releasing their initial OS/2 driver 2 years ago). What this means is that if you pull out the card while OS/2 is running, it'll lock up; ditto if you insert it. If you come out of hibernation, the card also does not get reinitialized, so you have to reboot OS/2. Hopefully, their 100Mbps card will have better OS/2 support, but I doubt it... ken p.s., IBM's ethernet card works for the above test cases if you use fixpack 17...

However, if you ever want to use other OSs, there is a likelihood that IBM support will be substantially behind 3Com support. IBM is, admittedly, getting better at this.

With hopes that the ThinkPad mailing list can be so configured, Jim From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Fri Mar 29 15:41:06 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA27181; Fri, 29 Mar 96 15:41:06 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id PAA24004; Fri, 29 Mar 1996 15:40:52 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.4); Fri, 29 Mar 1996 15:37:36 -0500 Received: from Eisner.DECUS.Org (SYSTEM@Eisner.DECUS.Org [192.67.173.2]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id PAA23682; Fri, 29 Mar 1996 15:37:33 -0500 Received: from Eisner.DECUS.Org by Eisner.DECUS.Org (PMDF V4.2-12 #4291) id <01I2WYF5PRCG00GY7U@Eisner.DECUS.Org>; Fri, 29 Mar 1996 15:06:01 -0500 (EST) Date: Fri, 29 Mar 1996 15:06:01 -0500 (EST) From: billy@mix.com Subject: Re: ADMIN: Another mailing list suggestion In-Reply-To: <960329105137.2b2a@sybgate.sybase.com> Sender: YOUDELMAN@Eisner.DECUS.ORG To: THINKPAD@cs.utk.edu Message-Id: <828129961.585773.YOUDELMAN@Eisner.DECUS.Org> Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Mail-System-Version: > Many mailing lists to which I belong manipulate the SMTP (or whatever) > header information so that the From: information is shown to be the > mailing list itself, instead of the individual person sending the message.

Basically, your mail gateway is breaking SMTP. Instead, the gateway should add an "Apparently-to:" header line to the e-mail, and forward it as it exists. It is, instead, reformating the message contents, which is not a good idea. I suspect, however, that your e-mail gateway can't handle native SMTP, so needs to make these changes to work, right? If your gateway administrators are friendly, you might discuss this with them to see if there's a way to have the gateway properly handle mailing lists.

I have just joined the ranks of ThinkPad-ers! I have a 701C DX4-75, 8 (soon to go up to 24)M and a 720 HD. So far I have after a week of ownership played and browsed about and tried to get used to my TP. I have been paring down the program files, getting rid of crap like AOL/Prodigy etc....it has been a tedious task to say the least to back up the drive first via null modem and Tranxit to my desktop HD. My interests for the machine are to dual boot WFW and OS/2 off of the 720, and if I can find a 360 or 540 cheap, install LINUX or BSD on it. A couple of quick questions though.... 1. I would like to reinstall OS/2 on an HPFS partition. I do like the featured icons which allow you to change os's while in the other. Is there any way to keep them even though I will put os/2 on hpfs? 2. On transfer programs,,, Any suggestions? My 701 came preloaded with PUMA TranXit, although not bad, I have an IrDA adaptor, and need to upgrade to gain that compatibility. Is there anything better than TranXit? I had trouble running it out of a WIN-OS/2 session. 3. On Linux- I saw the thinkpad 755/Linux FAQ, but have not seen a 701C/CS FAQ. Does it exist, or will anyone who has installed it get in touch with me please. 4. Is there a need to run QEMM or EMM386 to better utilize available memory? What if any pitfalls are there? Conflicts with the video drivers/etc? TIA I am glad that I found this email group, it is so nice to be able to be in the company of people with similar computre 'values' and inerests.

Dual boot only works if OS/2 and DOS both reside on the c: drive. I'm pretty sure the icons just call the dual boot scripts so if you're not using dual boot, they won't do you any good. Boot manager is actually nicer. You get to pick the OS you want to use off a menu at startup. You can configure the default OS and timeouts as well. The problem is that Microsoft thinks their OS is the only OS you should use. DOS (or Win95 for that matter) will set itself to be the startup partition, bypassing boot manager. To reset it you have to use DOS fdisk to set boot manager's partition to startup. If that doesn't work, use OS/2's fdisk. You'll have to use OS/2's fdisk anyway to add DOS to the startup menu if you didn't do it the first time. i.e.: partition drive install boot manager & OS/2 install DOS use fdisk to set boot manager to startable. > 2.

There are several of us on this list using Linux on our 701C(S)s. The nicest summary of 701 info I've seen is by Craig Leres, at http://www-nrg.ee.lbl.gov/leres/butterfly/. Linux, for the most part, installs w/o any problems. Just ask the list if you run into any problems. -- John H.

Oustide the US, the 701 TP is sold with the Modem disabled for legal reasons, so I figured break the lid open and theres the connector behind it. It wasn't. But now, MAYBE becuase of the force applied, my system behaves as if the screen is closed constantly. When you disable shutdown when closed in the Bios, the Box will continue running but the screen goes off anyway, just like the light in you refrigerator when you close it. I now use a piece of cardboard stuck between keyboard and case which disables the sensor that tells it that the box is closed. Works, but is a hassle. Now IBM's got this nice warranty but I figured I can't assume it on behalf of my own stupidity (shame shame shame). Any Comments ? Will they take it anyway ? How do I disable the sensor manually ? Or if they can bil me ? Joachim Loeblein, ud1b@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de I Fear Nothing.

The prices of these drives as quoted from IBM or a third party, which include the (proprietary) caddy that houses the drive, are quite expensive. It is my understanding, however, that the drive itself is a standard 2.5" drive. I would like to know if anyone has had experience in opening the plastic caddy that houses the drive and installing a 2.5" inch drive of higher capacity. What sort of drives are recommended?

The exact problem is I run startx and get garbage on my screen (it looks like two sets of shimmering horizontal lines, one at the top of the screen and the other about halfway down).

I set the weekend aside, told friends and relatives that I was going away for the weekend, backed up all the data, read the manual, and sat down full of optimism... Never made it past the first diskette! My trustworthy Panasonic KXL-D720 CD-ROM (at least it is so under DOS/Windows) remained invisible... I tried all the tricks in my book: from re-reading the manual to minor modifications in the config.sys; >from cursing to sweet-talking the machine into just taking a brief, brief look at the nice little CD-ROM player sitting next to it. Nothing would remove the cloak of invisibility from the poor Panasonic... Help! How do I install an OS that comes in a CD-ROM when the #&@$(&? thing wont even see the CD-ROM player? (Yes, it is plugged in, and ON!!!) Thank you, and forgive the warped (oh, that word again!!!) sense of humour: it is the frustration of many hours sitting in front of this machine... PS. I seem to remember someone asking me how to do this a few months back - ahh... Perhaps you gave up in desperation too!... -- Paulo Magalhaes * Dept.
