But even just using the Sound Recorder application, we can't get more than a small blip on the waveform window, and playback of something he records is hardly audible. That's the same symptom using Internet Phone too, he can hear fine, but no one can hear him...

While the modem is active the sound capability gets marginal to nonexistant. Have you tried the faxworks speaker phone? That worked well for me with no screwing around so should be a good test. -Don Perley From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Wed May 1 22:28:42 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA00133; Wed, 1 May 96 22:28:42 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id WAA10292; Wed, 1 May 1996 22:27:48 -0400 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.6); Wed, 1 May 1996 22:23:55 -0400 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id WAA09923; Wed, 1 May 1996 22:23:54 -0400 Received: from piglet.cc.utexas.edu (root@piglet.cc.utexas.edu [128.83.108.3]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id WAA09917; Wed, 1 May 1996 22:23:52 -0400 Received: from slip-80-1.ots.utexas.edu (slip-80-1.ots.utexas.edu [128.83.219.1]) by piglet.cc.utexas.edu (8.6.11/8.6.11/cc-wf-solaris.mc-1.2) with SMTP id VAA26362 for ; Wed, 1 May 1996 21:23:42 -0500 Date: Wed, 1 May 1996 21:23:42 -0500 Message-Id: <199605020223.VAA26362@piglet.cc.utexas.edu> X-Sender: pekka@bashful.cc.utexas.edu X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 1.5.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: thinkpad@cs.utk.edu From: "Pekka(la)" Subject: 701CS Battery life? After following discussion on this list for a month now, I'm just wondering if there is TP701C/CS users who have the NiMh battery. How long can you work with it? I've used to 3+ hours with my current laptop without any power management, so the less than 2 hours promised for 701's NiCd battery doesn't sound very good. One more question. Can you adjust the speed of the procesor as a part of the power management system? And does it work properly, since the APM seems to be more or less unstabile in most laptops. Screen won't blank every time it should, computer doesn't hibernate/go to standby always, HD doesn't spin down etc. problems. If this sounds totally irrelevant for this list, reply me directly. Thanks in advance for information, because the user mailing lists seem to be the best way for decent information. PC magazines and such seem to be afraid to say anything bad about the computers they test, because they would stop getting free stuff from the companies... BTW, I didn't say it was a suprise that TP701 would be soon a discontinued model. I just remember what happened to Compaq Contura Aero prices last December, when it was announced OFFICIALLY as a discontinued model. J&R Computer World in NY bought the entire stock of Aero's from Compaq and started to sell it about 30% cheaper than any other store/mail order company around. The prices dropped from $1399 to $999 everywhere. Just wondering if Big Blue is doing the same thing with TP701's ;-). ###################################################### Same-sex marriages.

I get 2:30 with non-stop use. I don't believe in this 8 hour crap because nobody just types for 2 minutes and then lets the machine sit in suspend for 2 hours, types for another 10 minutes and calls it "2 hours and 12 minutes of run time". >One more question.

One thing I like is the processor speed function--runs full bore when you're doing stuff, cuts down to zilch when you're not. Never did like the idea of running a 33 MHz processor at 8 MHz--like the idea even less with a 75 MHz processor. ----- Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu http://www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle USC Graduate School of Business Women often ask, "What do men really want, deep in their souls?"

Has anyone had or solved this problem? I get this problem too, there is never enuf energy to hibernate once the power is low.

Cc: edwards@spiff.chem.utah.edu X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII All: I've used my TP701cs, 16Mb, 720Mb disk. 3Com 3C589C network card, for about a month now, and am mostly quite pleased with the total performance and utility IBM placed in this little package... However, twice I've encountered a problem with Linux (apologies to those that don't use Linux...). The installation and configuring of Linux Slackware is fairly straightforward, and I've been successfully running for about 3 weeks now, including X. But now, when the system boots it never gives a login prompt. The display goes though the usual bootup messages and then freezes at this point: >Adding Swap: 44388k swap space Ctl-Alt-Del will reboot, and during the freeze there is some disk activity - probably update is working. DOS will boot up fine. The first time this happened, rebuilding linux solved the problem; I attributed the first failure to infamiliarity with the system and thought I just screwed something up, and wanted to rebuilt the system anyway. Now, I'm less happy with the prospect of a system rebuild, and the failure seemed to have no traceable cause. Has anyone experenced this problem? Is there a fix? The backup boot floppy of the kernel I made during installation has the same problem. I have booted the rescue disk, and can mount the hard drive, but I don't know where to look at this point.

If you run xdvi under Linux on a ThinkPad, and the displayed text looks a little blue-gray and fuzzy, then try putting the line: xdvi.gamma : 2.0 into your .Xdefaults file. Then type "xrdb .Xdefaults" and try xdvi again. It made a substantial difference for me, as the text is now darker and sharper.

I tried calibrating my 701's TFT gamma by eye. It's not exact because the gamma changes with viewing angle, but when the screen is perpendicular to your line of sight, the gamma is around 2.0-2.1. So if the 755CX's TFT is similar, the above xdvi option is making things look as they should. Don't ask me to explain what gamma is. Go look at: http://photo.net/photo/fixing-gamma.html -- John H.

(if not, cancel out, remove the 'infrared' port from device manager, reboot & go back & apply step 8 to the other 'communications port.'). *do not* reboot. 10) make sure no ports in device manager have a red x or a yellow '!' if any do, go to their properties and make sure the 'current' configuration is checked. shut down, power off & reboot. this got me through four machines successfully. hope it helps.

I just timed my Thinkpad 760CD (120MHz, 40MB) for a build and timing test of a project, and my Zeos 100MHz Pentium 32MB home system on the same. In both cases, I rean the make twice, so all pertinent headers etc. would be in the caches. This means disk spead wouldn't be a factor. Results: 2 min 20 second for the tower, 4 min 20 second for the laptop. The test suite put out alot of text which scrolled on 80x40 xterms, so graphics performance was involved. A part of the test that timed itself showed the laptop actually performing 10% faster on a read-only section of the test, but 10% slower during write- intensive parts. (insert and delete times for a balanced binary tree were faster on the tower, and the searches which don't write memory were faster on the laptop.) - - - - - What is the point? Well, if you are thinking about buying a laptop vs. a PC, you should know that the laptop architecture cuts corners on performance. How? I suppose, either no L2 cache, no EDO ram, or both. There might be other problems with the buses or something. Also, I did timing tests on an NEC Versa 100MHz 486 with 24MB, that were not much slower than my laptop.. If/when I buy my own laptop, I will probably aim for lower performance processor, if it is any cheaper or (more to the point) faster delivery. The memory and hard disk speeds and graphics are the bottlenecks on these things, most of the time...

The 760 has L2 cache, but the CD doesn't have EDO memory (the ED has 64-bit EDO memory). Any peripherals are also slower on the CD, since it's an ISA bus (the ED is PCI). The ED also has a 64-bit graphics adapter. But, your premise is correct; the laptops historically have been slower. I think the latest generation (with PCI, EDO, etc.) will get closer, but will likely still be slower. My 2 pence... Cheers, ssh -- Steve Hultquist Founder Worldwide Solutions, Inc.

Actually, I'd be a little nervous of doing a "clean" install (as you put it. I wouldn't erase my entire hard drive without a good backup in place.

First of all, I wouldn't add Win '95 "over" Win 3.11. You can do an install and have it put all the Win '95 files in their own directory (surprisingly, I call my directory "Win95"), where you won't have to have it mess with anything in your "old" Windows directory. You may have to update/edit the System.ini and Win.ini files in the Win95 directory (it doesn't really *need* them, but they're there for backward compatibility--newer Win95-native software uses the "registry") and of course set up your desktop/menus however you like them, but at least you have a separate, discrete installation of Win 95 rather than muddled mess on top of the old Windows. I still have the old windows on my 701 just for "in case" (though I rarely ever use it--except for a program for my HP100LX which, due to communications issues, I'm told will not be updated for Win 95). That's the easiest/safest route if you're worried for any reason. ----- Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu http://www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle USC Graduate School of Business Women often ask, "What do men really want, deep in their souls?"

What does EDO >stand for? "Extended Data Out". I don't know the technical details, but as I recall reading in some PC rag, the idea is it has some method of increasing data retrieval just a little, increasing performance (particularly on Pentium machines) over non-EDO memory. Exactly how it does that, I'm not sure (its not rated any faster in terms of nanoseconds). Supposedly its something along the lines of about 10% improvement. Given that CPU's have gotten so fast as to sit around and wait even on RAM, any improvement is something useful. The good news is that it doesn't particularly cost more than non-EDO. In fact, I'm told that EDO is by definition non-parity. So you'll see that it can actually be cheaper than non-EDO memory that has parity chips on it (by a few bucks, anyway). As a side note, I thought it would be funny (painfully so) to mention to the list that I bought some more memory for my desktop machine after looking at how prices had fallen so. I got a pair of 16 MB modules purchased on April 30 for $240-ish each. Checking the website of the place I bought them from just yesterday, I see they are now priced at $200 even. 1 week later. Considering I bought a 3rd 16 MB SIMM for my father, I lost over $100 in depreciation over 1 week's time. Ouch.

I have a 701C DX2/50 and am currently running Win95 w/ 12mb RAM -- its feeling a bit sluggish these days and I hope to upgrade to 20mb real soon! I have a Port leather portfolio case and it serves my needs quite well. I recently got a Panasonic 4x portable cd-rom (kxl-d740) and love it (well, not as much as my 701). At the office I hook up to our Win95 LAN and our Netware Lan using an Etherlink III PC CARD---runs quite smoothly. At home I dock to the multiport where my Parallel Port Zip Drive and Canon BJC-70 awaits. I usually dial up to the Internet with the built in Fax/Modem at 19.2 terbo speed using Win95's dial up networking and Netscape Gold 2.0. I'm using the Nimh battery and get between 1.75hrs to 2.5 hrs of heavy usage. During light usage about 3 to 4 hrs. I've noticed a sharp degradation in battery life though since I started leaving the Panasonic SCSI PC card in the slot-- I'm aware that it draws current but isn't it suppose to "sleep" or go into standby when the computer is in standby(not hibernate) mode? I am based in Manila, Philippines and thankfully enough IBM Philippines offers the most solid support I know of any other IT company here and it can get quite ugly. I acquired my 701 last December and I am a convert to its overall usability.

You may have missed the fact that Win '95's PCMCIA drivers don't manage power well (maybe not at all). I read somewhere that you may want to use your IBM/ThinkPad PCMCIA drivers (the old DOS ones) instead. They're not 32-bit, but they do power down the cards when appropriate. ----- Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu http://www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle USC Graduate School of Business Women often ask, "What do men really want, deep in their souls?"

Since I have heard mixed responses about Win95 in the Thinkpad, I decided to try it on my machine before buying it. ( Don't be alarmed, I don't steal software, but I like to try it before I buy it ). Anyway, I borrowed my friends CD version of Win95 to install. I openned my new hard drive, installed DOS and the CD driver, upgraded the bios, and proceeded to install the Win95using my docking stations and the cd-rom. The installation went fine, but the only problem is, my machine won't boot. I get an error 'loading a Vdx on hardware item 3 serive b' ( or someting like that, I left the error message at home ). Any help in this area would be appreciated. My current assumption now is that there is a problem with the docking station drivers not being present. I am thinking about buying the disketter version, installing it, loading the docking station drivers, and then trying the docking station. But, this is just a guess. Mark M.

Hi, I just ordered an extra battery for my ThinkPad 701C, and get a battery which has IBM part number 25H4861. That is the same number of the original battery which comes with my 701C. But when I check IBM web page for the battery part number, it says 25H4862 is the correct battery to be used with the 701C. I can't even find any information about the 25H4861 there. Are these two batteries, 4861 and 4862, supposed to be the same battery? Will the 4862 be better than the 4861 in anyway? Should I return my battery to exchange for the new 4862 battery?

I just upgraded mine about 2 weeks ago and did not have any problem. I had a tp755cx with an external SCSI cdrom. In the write up, they will tell you what BIOS to upgrade etc.. One slight discrepencany what that the write up ask you to attach the thinkpad to AC but did not say you should fully charge the battery. However, when doing the BIOS upgrade, the screen says make sure the battery are fully charged. I took the advice and back off and fully charged the battery first. I am not sure if this would have helped though. -William From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Fri May 10 23:32:08 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA27780; Fri, 10 May 96 23:32:08 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id XAA12661; Fri, 10 May 1996 23:31:19 -0400 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.6); Fri, 10 May 1996 23:29:30 -0400 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id XAA12449; Fri, 10 May 1996 23:29:28 -0400 Received: from cais.cais.com (cais.com [199.0.216.4]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id XAA12443; Fri, 10 May 1996 23:29:26 -0400 Received: from cais3.cais.com (cais3.cais.com [199.0.216.227]) by cais.cais.com (8.6.10/8.6.5) with SMTP id XAA05392; Fri, 10 May 1996 23:29:23 -0400 Date: Fri, 10 May 1996 23:29:23 -0400 (EDT) From: "R.J.H."

If you lose power during the BIOS upgrade it ruins your EPROM. Therefore, the battery is a power back up for the possibility that you lose AC power during the minute or so that the flash-rom is being upgraded. Roger J.

I don't have a 701, but this is probably a case of the IBM Part # vs. the FRU # for the battery. IBM assigns both a part # and an FRU # to every stinking item they have. I don't know the logistics of why they do this, but on many parts they are consecutively numbered. For example, when I was looking for a 16MB DRAM card for my 755CD, the IBM web site said that the correct IBM card was 66G0094. The card that I found was part # 66G0093, but FRU# 66G0094. Both numbers were on the card. IBM only seems to care about the FRU #. I called tech support to very that my DRAM card was correct, and the tech explained to me that they usually refer to the FRU # for most everything. My guess is that your battery is part # 25H4861 and FRU # 25H4862. Check the label, or package, carefully and see if you can find both.

Maxtor makes a 12.5mm 1.0 and 1.2 GB drive in that range. IBM just announced drives in that size range too (I sent part of news report on it to this group last month). I think there was another company as well. But I'd heard rumored on comp.sys.laptops that the 701's BIOS could only handle the 540 and 720 drives made by IBM. I've no idea if that's true. -- John H.

Do you know where I might buy such a beast and about how much? Also, I've never opened the drive on my 701 (doesn't seem to open very easily). Does it require a special caddy of some sort?

I gues the phone mimicks the central office to the laptop and then when the connection is made to a termserver it hands the laptop over to it. kinda funky.... anyhow after messing with limiting the connection rate, 9600 works, but barly. wondering if its an elecrical problem like mismacthed impedence between the tp and the phone. don;t know if they tried a pcmcia modem, but propably have. anythoughts? thanks in advance Dennis -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dennis Pantazis My opinions are my own, and can not be interpreted as extensions of the Graduate Student in Civil Engineering University's official policies, University of Illinois-Urbana until they decide my opinion are (the Extended Tour of Duty continues) profitable to the institution!

I've got a problem now with my sound system. In order to use some games with each sound causing a system hang, I need to use the Creative Labs Soundblaster drivers. To use these drivers, I have to have my soundboard set as 0x220, irq 5 or 7, dma channel 0 or 1. Unfortunately, the 701 is set at irq 10, which the drivers can't use. In the BIOS set up screen, on the 3rd page, there is a dialogue fr changing your irq settings. By going to the device and tabbing left or right, it scrolls through various settings, different irqs and dma channels. When I select one, it doesn't change! I always come back to the same settings. I called IBM, who recommended I download the new Audio Features diskettes. I *have* the new diskettes, it's not the software, it's the irq settings! How can I change the darn thing? DOOM, btw, is having no problems, and I can get sound in Windows, but in this game, which worked perfectly before the reformat, and has been reloaded from a virgin disk, I get a little pause after every boom! and pow! Has anyone successfully changed his/her irq assignments? How?

Howdy- I went through a long, protracted debugging sequence with the Borg's (MS's) Win95 escalation team for a problem very similar to this (More details upon request). IBM's support wouldn't even touch the problem without additional payment ("works for us!"). Each time I would suspend, upon resuming I would have to control-alt-del and kill msgsrv32 before I could continue. Suspend from the Start menu would always hang with the same problem. The only solution we were able to hash out consisted of commenting out the mention of device=*vpowerd in [386Enh] section of the system.ini. Benefits: suspend/resume with clamshell close and function key works peachy. Drawbacks: loss of Power control panel, battery in tray area and suspend option in start menu. If you find a better solution, do tell! Hope this helps.

I am experiencing an intermittant drifting (down and to the right, if it makes a difference). A light touch will keep it centered/stable. The drift rate varies a lot and I have yet to see much of a pattern. At first, it seemd to drift more in some windows than in others. File manager was bad; the Eudora editing view had no problem. After I had left the unit on for an hour or so and went back to do some work, it seemed to drift *much* faster, again down and to te right. Different screens had no effect, but closing the screen and opening again stopped the drift completely. After some looking, I think it *could* be a function of the keyboard butterfly action on the track-point. The problem is occurring less often as the unit is used daily. The other day the drift was up and to the left ! Is this a common problem ? Any fixes short of a trip to the repair depot?

Every Thinkpad I've ever had (I think 6 at last count!) would drift sometimes. As I recall, the recommendation is to let it drift to the corner/side and it will correct itself (this was undoubtedly some time ago that I read that). My 755CX does it occationally, but letting it drift to the edge of the screen seems to allow it to correct itself. Of course, YMMV. ssh -- Steve Hultquist Founder Worldwide Solutions, Inc.

If it happens to check while you are moving the cursor, it adjusts itself to take this as non-movement. When you stop moving the cursor, the thinkpad thinks the cursor is still when it is in fact moving the oposite direction. The solution is to relax and let it go until it checks centering again (a few seconds). If you catch it early and relax, it corrects very quickly. If you keep fighting it, it will just get worse. Think of it as zen training. ---------------------------- Victor Kress Geophysical Laboratory 5251 Broad Branch Road N.W.

Therefore, if you keep steady pressure on it, and then release it, it will drift until it readjusts for the removal of the pressure. It is common for people to rest their fingers on the mouse trackpoint, and then remove their fingers and notice this drift. The drift should be re-adjusted away after about 20 seconds. Don't know if this is your problem, but this is the most common explanation for mouse cursor drift. Roger J. Buffington AB6WR USC Law, Class of '97 Go Trojans!

Basically, since the keyboard folds out, you occasionally might bump or it might be touching something. This indirectly transfers pressure to the trackpoint and can cause the cursor to drift. The solution of course is to keep the keyboard clear of any obstructions. ----- Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu http://www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle USC Graduate School of Business Women often ask, "What do men really want, deep in their souls?"

You could give it a voxectomy by jabbing through grill with a paperclip or a strightpin, severing the cone from the magnet. That of course if you can't find another way to get in there. Or, you could try working in louder places. I've recently started doing most of my coding on trains in the alps. (no louder than crosscountry trains, but better view) If you play constant music, say, does the static make it sound like the speaker wires have an intermittently open connection?

Could someone suggest something I could buy that will work with the 701? I would consider MO, but I'm not sure about the price and which brands are worth considering.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Pinnacle Micro is probably the main leader in MO, mainly in terms of performance characteristics. However, they're not cheap. And what will likely be their flagship product, the Apex drive which holds 4.6 GB on a cartridge, has been delayed about 6 months now. Nevertheless, I'd look at their products if I wanted MO. Otherwise, if you want "large" at a cheaper price, look at Iomega's Jaz drive--about $600 for an external SCSI and another $100 or so for a 1 GB removable cartridge. ----- Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu http://www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle USC Graduate School of Business Women often ask, "What do men really want, deep in their souls?" The best answer--based on in-depth analysis of the complex and subtle interplay of thought, instinct, and emotion that constitutes the male psyche --is that deep in their souls, men want to watch stuff go 'bang'. - Dave Barry, October 2, 1994 From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Wed May 15 19:29:39 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA12710; Wed, 15 May 96 19:29:39 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id TAA24691; Wed, 15 May 1996 19:27:43 -0400 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.6); Wed, 15 May 1996 19:19:18 -0400 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id TAA24007; Wed, 15 May 1996 19:19:16 -0400 Received: from THINK2.LAKEHEADU.CA (think2.lakeheadu.ca [205.189.35.4]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id TAA24001; Wed, 15 May 1996 19:19:14 -0400 Received: from flash.LakeheadU.Ca by THINK2.LAKEHEADU.CA (PMDF V4.3-10 #6489) id <01I4QUZ1I0CW8ZFPUO@THINK2.LAKEHEADU.CA>; Wed, 15 May 1996 19:19:48 -0400 (EDT) Received: by flash.LakeheadU.Ca (4.1/SMI-3.0DEV3) id AA12953; Wed, 15 May 96 19:17:47 EST Date: Wed, 15 May 1996 19:15:40 -0500 (EST) From: Boris Subject: Re: New Member needs mass storage...

This is a general scam on the part of disk manufacturers; IBM is merely following everyone else's lead. My 420MB drive magically became 405, my 1.6GB is 1525 MB, or about 1.49GB in reality. This is the Way Things Are Done, like it or not. While IBM is not clean in the matter, they're not trying to pull any more of a fast one than any one else.

My .02 worth. > Memory is addressed using binary addresses, so if memory wasn't based on a power of 2, we would have memory that couldn't be addressed (for all intents and purposes not there), or addresses without memory (probably lots of problems here). OTOH, hard disk geometries allow lots of different combinations, _most_ of which are not a power of 2. So 16Mb of memory is an exact number when 1Mb = 1024 x 1024, while a 540Mb hard drive will be an approximation regardless of whether 1Mb = 1000 x 1000 or the other definition. Since there is no compelling reason to choose either standard for hard drives, while there is for memory, the manufacturers choose the method which makes their products look the best as far as hard drives are concerned. My memory (which has been failing me lately) was that IBM used to use the same method, or at least a much more conservative one, when they advertised memory and hard drive sizes. When they saw what that their competitors were doing, they changed their advertising also. When they got beat up over the change, they started including a standard paragraph in their long-winded announcement letters specifying how size calculations were made. $.02 more for the pot.

My .02 worth. I have a file that's 21375089 bytes. If I want to tell someone how big that file is, do I say "21.4 MB," or do I grab a calculator and divide it by 1024 twice to get the correct answer, 20.4 MB? People have been using MB=10^6 long before the hard disk manufacturers started. For addressing reasons, RAM is generally limited to high powers of 2 and simple combinations thereof.

Since computers left the geekdome and entered the mainstream of the mainstream. I mean, look at the bozo law student that used to be on this list that had a baby because someone's mailer mistake filled his box with garbage. He couldn't comprehend that someone (other than himself) might make a mistake, so I don't think it's reasonable to think he might comprehend 1024 or 1024^2. Like F and C, I'm comfortable dealing with sizes either way. If I'm programming and thinking in hex, then of course it's natural for me to think in 1024 or 1024^1024 byte blocks. But if I'm looking at a filesize and thinking rough modem transfer time (i.e. "short", "ok", "mmm, maybe long"), then I just lop off three or six digits and there's my K and M. But then, I'm used to doing this with yen and dollars as well. While I've been in Japan, the yen has been anywhere from 0.78 cents to to 1.65 cents, but it's always 1.000000000 cents in rough calculations.

Hard disks are not. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You know the sector sizes on all hy hard drives are 512 bytes, which seems to me to be a power of 2. Cluster sizes are even multiples of that which means they are also in powers of 2. Internally DOS and most other intel architecture operating systems use numbers, in powers of 2, to handle all disk accesses. Computers do EVERYTHING based on powers of two, that is where the idea of one "K" equaling 1024 came from. Theoretically you could have a computer architecture based on powers of 10 but as far as I know none have ever been sold commercially. Basically it resolves to the fact that anyone who works with computers for any length of time learns that one "K" is 1024 (2^10). You don't think that various commands that tell you disk space or file space used in "K" are talking 1000's do you?

Sure it makes sense to mmeasure main memory in the power of 2 style, since memorie are typically powers of 2 or small multiles times powers of 2, but this is simly not true for disks. The industry standard for measuring disk capacity is the way that IBM uses. If you think it is a scam beause you had different expectations, then it is simply a matter of not knowing how disk capacities are (and have been ) measured. It would be truly confusing if some manufacturer ignorant of the industry standard started using an incompatible standard.

I'm searching for a friend this time. He doesn't actaully have a ThinkPad, but I thought I'd ask for advice here anyhow since some of you might know... He does lots of international travel and is looking for a CDROM drive. Ones like the Panasonic (that I have) require a separate power connection which would mean in addition to the drive you have to take the CD's power unit (plugin transformer), plus a second power transformer/adapter for the foreign power (one for the laptop, one for the drive). What he really needs is a CDROM drive that's powered from the PCMCIA slot. I've seen them - somewhere, but can't remember where or who the manufacturer was. Does anyone have any suggestions??

My 755cx suddenly decided that it doesn't like the suspend state anymore. When I give it the ole' Alt-F4, it suspends. After about two seconds it decides to unsuspend itself. I can't think of anything I did between when it worked and when it didn't. I thought maybe a key was stuck or something, but ran the machine diagnostics (which take a *long* time with 40 meg) and no problems reported. Any ideas?

Except for some fiddling with symbolic links (libX11.so.6, libXt.so.6 have to be removed first), the installation took about 5 minutes, and when I restarted X everything worked with the old XF86Config file. I have not tried the 16bpp mode yet. if any one of you is successful, please let us all know. In a few days I will remove the 3.1.2Dd server from lynx.ps.uci.edu.

I know that it is software because I have several bootable disk drives and only my production disk drive does it. Usually, unplugging (AC power) the machine is necessary to achieve a suspend.

Thanks. Make sure you upgrade the bios on your 701. The original versions (multiple!) of the bios had bugs in its parallel port support.

If this is true, I'd like to buy one. But offhand, I'm willing to bet that article got something wrong. Lithium requires a different charging cycle which is not likely built-in to the 701's charging method. NiMH and NiCD use virtually the same charging cycle, but Lithium's is different enough that you can't just stick it in and charge it the same way you would one of these others. (don't ask me the electical details, but my father was involved in designing batteries for a while and told me this).

Well, if i'm not wrong, IBM uses some technology called Smart batteries. such batteries contain the charging unit inside the battery. that would explain the 4 terminals on the battery, 2 for the current supplied by the battery, and 2 for the power supply to the internal charger. anyone knows more about this? sam.

The message you replied to came as normal priority, so I was just wondering why you thought it was a hot enough topic to bump it up to highest? -Don Perley perley@cadence.com From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Mon May 27 20:38:53 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA24130; Mon, 27 May 96 20:38:53 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id UAA03403; Mon, 27 May 1996 20:38:13 -0400 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.6); Mon, 27 May 1996 20:37:44 -0400 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id UAA03328; Mon, 27 May 1996 20:37:42 -0400 Received: from mailgate.Cadence.COM (mailgate.Cadence.COM [158.140.2.1]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id UAA03320; Mon, 27 May 1996 20:37:39 -0400 Received: (from smap@localhost) by mailgate.Cadence.COM (8.6.8/8.6.8) id RAA16515; Mon, 27 May 1996 17:37:37 -0700 Received: from cds9258.cadence.com(158.140.32.4) by mailgate.cadence.com via smap (V1.0mjr) id sma833243856.016512; Mon May 27 17:37:36 1996 Received: from perley-ppp.cadence.com (annex-sj4-19.cadence.com [158.140.31.41]) by cds9258.cadence.com (8.6.8/8.6.8) with SMTP id RAA03975; Mon, 27 May 1996 17:37:33 -0700 Date: Mon, 27 May 1996 17:37:33 -0700 Message-Id: <199605280037.RAA03975@cds9258.cadence.com> X-Sender: perley@eudora1.cadence.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 1.5.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: phr@netcom.com (Paul Rubin) From: Don Perley Subject: Re: thinkpad digest for Mon, 27 May 1996 Cc: thinkpad@cs.utk.edu At 09:24 AM 5/27/96 -0700, Paul Rubin wrote: >re: 755cx jumps out of suspend >Mine does the exact same thing, at least on ac power. >I thought it was just typical w95 stupidity.

I'm running O/S2 Warp Connect on a TP755CX with 16Mb.

To restore it I have to drive it off to close to the edge of the screen. Even then, sometines, it disappears again when I hit the edge of a window and I have to drive out and back. Sometimes just clicking on a clear desktop also makes it vanish.

It's worth remembering that this priority crap is a Eudora hack, not part of internet email standards. However, since you and others (including myself) have chosen to avail ourselves of programs that add such idiocies and do things like set sounds to respond to this stuff, here is what I teach all the people in my email classes to do: If you're on a mailing list and using Eudora Pro, set up a filter to identify messages that have To: or Cc: lines of thinkpad@cs.utk.edu and set it to LOWER the priority. If you're on a mailing list and using Eudora Light, either buy EPro or turn off alarms for priorities - you're putting yourself at the mercy of every chucklehead on the Internet who (a) doesn't understand priorities (b) has different priorities than you or (c) set it by accident. I am always reading in Comp.RISKS about mailers mis-identifying these custom headers used by other mailers. Relying on yours to not get borked by other headers in a mixed-platform enviornment like inet email is asking for trouble.

I sent my 360C in for a processor (and memory) upgrade. It had a 48633sx, and came back with an AMD 133 DX4. All I can say is that it all went perfectly. The cost was $500 us (for the processor upgrade) and it has given my 360 a new lease on life. It is *way* faster (as you would expect). Battery life is not noticeably affected. PEP did exactly what they said they would and turnaround was only a couple days. My experience leads me to recommend this upgrade if you have similar performance problems (I run Linux on my laptop and it is much happier now - the silly "bogomips" rating has gone from 13 to 66).

Basically my manager was good enough to recognize when we were going to need to order new 'pads, and he ordered a ton of them (literally, a ton). The big problem I have is that with the lines rolling over so quickly, the setup routines I have are worthless within a year or so. I wish IBM would pick a 'pad, and then offer upgrades, rather than making it extinct so quickly. We bought quite a few 755CX's, weeks before IBM decided that they didn't want them any more. Now we can't buy the same machine any more. Ooops! My other big peeve is with the choices that the people over at IBM are making in the new models. Sure the MWave machines are cool, but in our business world, we don't really need them. We also don't need the best color screen that money can buy. What we do need is the modularity of the old Thinkpads (and compatibility with older models), with a fairly robust processor. The 755CX was the last machine that was ideal for us, and had all of these features. Now you either get modularity, heaped in with MWave, DIMM only memory, butterfly keyboards, etc., or you get a machine that needs a watch repairman to fix. I wish IBM would realize that all of the gadgets are neat selling points, but some of us want machines that will complement our old machines, not make us retool ever time we want to upgrade. ...and that's all I gotta say about that.

I must be dreaming...the impossible of all impossibles...Robert "The ThinkPad Kid" Dewar asking about the Toshiba Tecra 720CDT??? I can die in peace now knowing I've seen everything! :-) That's it IBM...time to shutdown the factory...your number one supporter is about to jump ship...I hope none of you own IBM stock! :) Robert, I've been on this mailing list for ages now...and you are the absolute last ThinkPad user I would have expected to hear utter the unspeakable "T" word (Toshiba). With your twenty-seven ThinkPads running day and night and probably more tucked away in various hiding places (closet, under the bed, in your underwear draw?), I can't believe I'm hearing this. :-) WOW...you must be VERY "annoyed". Frankly, can't say I blame you. By the time my new 760ED comes, It will probably be obsolete or I might be too old to use it.:) IBM continues to makes one heck of a laptop/notebook but is clearly having problems producing them and their support policies seem to be getting stranger all the time. This whole issue of upgradeability is extremely important...especially when we're spending $7000+ for a new ThinkPad. My guess is that the design-to- production cycle has been shortened so dramatically due to quickly evolving technology and brisk competition, that IBM doesn't have the time or desire to worry about upgrades. If I knew for sure that IBM has no intention of providing some upgrade path for the 760ED, I'd cancel my order immediately and look elsewhere too. Let me know how you like the new 720CDT...especially that 1024x768 resolution. Maybe I'll buy one too instead of waiting...waiting...waiting...for the 760ED.

Anyone have any experience with the Tecra 720CDT, this looks like it >might be a better bet than any of the available thinkpads? No experience yet, but the reviews have been very good (May's PC Computing, March's Windows Sources), feature-for-feature it seems to offer more than the 760ED (e.g., XGA screen, 6x CD-ROM, better docking station, Zoom Video support, though no MPEG hardware) for significantly less money, and most importantly, the product really exists and is really shipping. After over a month of waiting for a 760ED ordered 2 hours after IBM's April announcement (and still with no definite shipping date -- "tentatively June 28" is what my reseller told me today), I placed an order for a 720CT with Micro Solutions last Friday. I was quoted a 3-week wait, but when I called back today was told it will actually ship early next week. A collegue of mine will be receiving his 720 tomorrow, and I'll be looking at it closely at it. Originally, I placed the 720 order on the assumption that (best case) I might receive it within the 30-day MBG period on my 760ED and could do a side-by-side comparison of the two and make up my mind on that basis. But now with a bird soon to be in my hand, I'm not so sure I'm willing to wait an additional month for IBM to show me what's in the bush. I'd be very curious to know if anyone on this list has seen or heard anything at all regarding the 760ED (reviews, early user experiences, etc.) that might lead me to hold off a little longer on this decision?

My original ThinkPad power supply had such a connector, and it's simply the most under-engineered thing I've ever seen: any force on the cable will just stress the connector and cause it to break. Someone on CompuServe posted that theirs snapped on the first day because the computer was on a desk and they picked up the front end of it to look for the serial number. IBM reps on CompuServe weren't at all responsive when I complained. I ended up requesting a warranty replacement for mine (after trying to glue it). The connector is a piece of trash _inside_, too: because of its construction, it's likely to short or open even if damage isn't visible to the exterior because the connectors are tack-welded and are the only structural member in the very last half-inch of the plug. The warranty power supply was entirely different: it was bigger, but lighter. The cable from the power cube to the connector was thicker, and made of a single, small piece of molded plastic: that is, it was of a competant design. I like my ThinkPad, but the MWave device and the original power plug are two huge weaknesses. .B ekiM ---------- From: Vaidy Sunderam Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 1996 2:24 PM To: thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Subject: 755cd ac adapter connector problem Hi, I have recently started having trouble with the ac adapter plug that goes into the back of my 755cd (4 pin with beveled corners) It appears that electrical contact is not well made, and I have to jiggle the connector or prop a book up against it for power to flow (& the battery to charge) I suspect it is just the connector.

The whole arrangement breaks easy because it is to long and stiff. My solution to that oversized piece of garbage (in addition to being fragile of course) was to pull out my dikes and snip it off. Then I soldered the modular plug onto the wire and used some liquid electrical tape to seal it up.

I NEVER purchase anything over the phone or via email unless I initiate the contact, This lowers the possibility of dealing with charlatans and fly-by-night vendors.

This is a Megahertz XJ1144. There's no error message; AUTODRV2.SYS makes the beeping sounds and briefly illuminates the PCMCIA light as thought the binding stuck, but it dies before I ever reach the workplace shell.

However, we were told that they could ship us a 760E immediately (though the CD-ROM upgrade would take 2 weeks to get here). I have yet to go through the specs (or call IBM) or hit the WWW, but off-hand, are there any differences between these two configurations? I am told by the vendor that the only complaint that they had had was that with the 760E, you couldn't remove the CD-ROM while the machine was on. Are there any other problems? Thanks for your help. Oh, yes. We want to run Windows 3.1 on it and it comes with Win95. Anyone who has gotten it to run with Windows 3.1 - I'd like to hear >from you.

Kim" To: thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Subject: Opinions urgently wanted on repair options Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Please reply before 4:00ish on Friday the 31st. It seems IBM is tightening down on their liberal repair policies. This past week I sent my TP701C in for service for the following: Present upon return from previous repair 2 months ago: - Hairline crack on upper lid - Loose battery Caused a few weeks ago by my own stupidity: - Cracks on bottom of case - Keyboard detached in front right corner (still functions) I got a call today saying the top two were indistinguishable in cause >from the bottom two. Since I hadn't reported the top two problems immediately after service, none of it would be covered under warranty. I explained I hadn't called because the computer was otherwise perfectly functional and I'd needed it for some field research I was doing at the time. I'd hoped my honesty about the keyboard and cracks would lend some credence to my insistence that the first two problems were present >from the previous repair. No go. They say I now have two options: - get it all fixed for $600+, or partly fixed (about $150 ea) - don't get it fixed and get charged $170 for shipping and appraisal They gave me until Monday (5 days from when they received it) to decide what to do with it before they automatically ship it back. So what do you folks think I should do? I've seen used 701's selling on the net for ~$1200. There's also a chance I wrote about the crack and battery problem on the service satisfaction survey they send out after each repair, but I don't remember exactly what I wrote and didn't make a copy. Please reply by Friday since I don't want to risk them saying "5 days from Tuesday is Saturday" and getting socked for shipping twice. If you have any problems with your machine, don't try to save IBM money by not calling until you're ready to arrange service - report it first chance you get. Apparently having a report in their database is evidence enough (although I don't see what sort of protection this gives IBM - I could have called to say the case, battery, and keyboard came to me broken from repair but I needed to use the computer, then called again a week later saying I'd dropped it causing the cracks). The real kicker is I wasn't using my 701 Portfolio case, which might have prevented any damage from the second incident: I wanted to velcro it to the lid, but hadn't done it yet because the lid was going to be replaced when I sent it in to fix the crack... *sigh* -- John H.

Kim" Cc: thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Subject: Re: Opinions urgently wanted on repair options In-Reply-To: Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Hi John, Thanks for all the great advice you give on this group. I really appreciate it. I empathize with your warranty situation. Your case teaches us a pretty grim lesson about warranties and insurance policies... if we leave ourselves liable in any way for their mistakes, IBM--or any company that spends tons of money on warranty service--will try to save (or even make) money by taking advantage of your liability. I can just about guarantee that you are not misrepresenting yourself with regards to the hairline crack on the top lid (plastic between display and keyboard). These were incredibly poorly designed. I had my 701 keyboard replaced recently, and the IBM certified technician cracked my top lid in the process of fixing the keyboard. It seems like you and my technician are not the only people who have cracked these things, because the parts are completely back-ordered. There is not a single top lid part in the country. My technician laid it to me straight... there is no telling when these parts will be available. So, John, when you sent your 701c in to have the top lid replaced, there is no way that they could have replaced it.... There are none around to replace it with! I imagine that IBM did what my repair man had to do. He had to glue the crack so that it was still functional, since there is no telling when it will be in stock. IBM is not being fair with you. Maybe you should ask them to explain themselves. Why did they send back a computer under the guise of being repaired, which had not, in fact, been fully repaired? Sounds illegal to me. If I were you, if IBM is going to be dishonest when you are being commendably honest, I'd have IBM send it back to you. Then, take it to a local computer store (MicroCenter?) or a school tech repair service, and they will probably fix the problems and send the bill to IBM without asking. If they do ask, just explain that the problems came about under normal wear and tear, and should be covered. Let me know how this all turns out for you. Sorry to hear about the dilemna. I think it is better to see if you can get this repair resolved rather than try to frantically find another 701. They are very very hard to come by. I recently sold mine, and got way too many offers because there are none around. Yours, Daniel On Thu, 30 May 1996, John H. Kim wrote: > Please reply before 4:00ish on Friday the 31st.

Overall I am pleased with the performance of this machine until I put in the PCMCIA network card. When I am in win3.1, as long as I have the AC connected all is fine, but when I go on battery power I get a frozen pointer and the machine hangs. I can resume by hooking up the AC and removing the PCMCIA network card and re-seating it. This isn't a problem because I usually have the AC on when I'm on the network. My main problem is when I'm running win95. Even when I am on AC, I get the same frozen pointer and I can resume by re-seating the network card (I lose any connections I may have had!), but after I do this I will be able to work for a short time and have to go through it all over again. It seems to happen more often when I am charging a battery rather than having a 100% battery in the machine. I have upgraded every driver and the BIOS to the latest ones and am still having problems. I hope that someone out there can help. I really don't like regretting the purchase of this machine. Thanks, Bob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Robert E.

Hello, I have one, lonesome, 701C. I recently purchased a second 720 MB hard drive for $265 through a tip on this list. As I understand, the normal price on these little gems is > $1 per MB, so this was a great barg. And it is an IBM original part. However, it came without a "caddy", a plastic thingie attached by (unusual to me) screws around the edge of the hard drive, and which holds in place a short ribbon connector. With the caddy, the hard drive is held in place via the electrical connectors at the base of its slot. I can *imagine* that an ordinary human *could* make a caddy (maybe out of wood ?????), but the tolerances would (er, wood) be pretty fine. I'd much rather pay for one. Appeals for this item have been made here, but I haven't noticed any solutions. If I can't get a caddy, is there a standard part number for the ribbon cable? My current 720 MB hd runs OS/2, Win 3.1, DOS and is almost full. The new hd would run Windows 95, as the "real world" demands that I do. Switching hds involves removing the battery, but I think I could get it down to about a minute, probably less than the time it takes for Win95 to boot! And for longevity of the connectors, I'd have to tailor my work habits so I wouldn't have to do this more than, say, twice a week. Many have asked why did IBM discontinue the (insert your favourite thinkpad number here) 701? Especially when they didn't have a replacement. 1. One semi-official answer was that they couldn't engineer a Pentium into it with sufficient heat-dissipation capacity. Here are my guesses: 2. This is IBM. Enough said. 3. Based upon early sales figures, some senior exec tailored their production run so that they would have "just enough" units to last them until the new lines were available (an analogy to "just in time" inventory and parts order). However, some different senior exec saw that these sales were rather low, and last fall ordered a sale to meet the market. So you could buy an IBM at the same price as a no-name brand. Sales went through the roof. In IBM it is "business as usual" that the left hand knoweth not what the right hand doeth. 4. There is a high and repeat return rate due to a clunky internal modem. 5. To meet the market price on 486 laptops and provide its normal (high, but see John Kim's recent post here "Opinions urgently wanted on repair options" ) level of service, IBM would not make any money. So it has to concentrate on high-end machines which command a 2x to 3x premium in the market, for whom price is not a major object. It's really too bad, because the 701, with some minor fixes, could have been a "standard" in laptops. Let's see, fix the modem, keep the BIOS up to date, fix the keyboard (I'm not talking about the "butterfly" mechanism--that works wonderfully--you have to bang away at the keys to be sure they will register; the travel is also not quite full, despite what they say. However, I recently tried the keyboard on the fancy new 760E, and it is even worse!), and you have an ideal travelling companion which runs the standard app (word processing) really well, and the "power" apps fast enough, considering how often they are used. Really nice features of the 701 include: screen, setup menu (isn't one on 760 !), power conservation / suspend, size, weight, (international) AC adaptor arrangement, external 3.5 diskette (YMMV), general feeling of being "right sized".

I changed from a 360CSE to my present 755CSE, and the new keyboard was the pits. I had to push hard enough, and vertically down, that I couldn't touch type. I had IBM come in and replace it, the new one is wonderful! When I was doing all this with the service people, they told me that there are two versions of the keyboard, touch type and normal. I suspect mine came as 'normal', and they installed a touch type version. Horror story on the dual scan screens : I'm on my third, the bottom half of the screen goes yellow and you're stuffed. Takes an average of a month to get a new part. I figured out in the end how to call Boulder CO, make enough waves, and get the priority bumped to the highest level. A few months ago they were getting a half dozen a week arriving. Buy IBM : Not next time. They switch the models too fast, you wait tmonths for your PC, and the warranty service is awful. The software telephone support only knows how to tell you it's not an IBM problem.

Actually that was the 133 MHz model, the 120MHz model *did* have >a wide slot and appeared to the eye IDENTICAL in all respects to a 760CD. > Ahhh! This would make sense, since we were told the model we were getting would be the 120 mhz model, even though their WWW site only mentions 133 mhz models (I was confused on that point). Having said that, here are the main differences as enumerated by a very helpful person on their information line: The 760CD is VESA/120mhz/1MB video ram standard/8MB RAM standard. The 760ED is PCI/133 mhz/2MB video ram standard/16MB RAM standard. But wait, I asked you about the 760E, right? So what's the difference between a 760E (with the CD-ROM) and a 760ED? The difference is... ...the 760ED can do MPEG, has the video in/out jacks (presumably NTSC-to-TV), etc. Nuts! That's why we wanted the 760CD! Looks like it might be time to go to the back of the line...since they're not making 760CDs anymore. They may still be in stock at various places, but they're not making them anymore (making 760EDs instead). Thanks to you all for your help, especially about the "deep" version.

After some waiting on hold, I got through to Easyserve that day. They offered to send a box, but because Monday was a Fedex holiday, I decided to box it myself. I sent it to Memphis on Tuesday morning, it presumably got there on Wednesday, and sent it back to me with a new system board, clean screen and keyboard, and new trackpoint rubber on Thursday. It arrived today. Still warranteed after all these years. I'm pretty satisfied. The service is pretty similar to what I got when the LCD "went south" two years ago. Just another data point. ---------------------------- Victor Kress Geophysical Laboratory 5251 Broad Branch Road N.W.

Sure, it took 20-30 minutes to get through to the right person, run through a couple of troubleshooting steps I wasn't aware of (who put that reset button on the back of my 755CEs?!) and have them give me an RMA. But after I got it and got the box packed, it was picked up the next day (Friday) AND RETURNED ON MONDAY!!! I thought 2-4 days meant 2-4 _working_ days. When our receptionist told me the ThinkPad was back, I thought she was pulling my leg! Just my 2 bytes. \ Dennis J.

Does the 760CD drive have the same interface and form factor? When I look at pictures of the Micron, it looks like the front bezel is at least similar to the one on the 755CD. Does anyone have a Micron and a 755CD...do the drives swap? I assume the Micron option would be the cheapest. Thanks Mike Redmond Director, CAE UW-Madison
