Alas if this were only true. The video chip is bad. Both the screen and the external monitor are unable to provide a proper display. Tomorrow it gets sent to Easyserve. On my call for people with a spare 701, thanks to those who've responded but I've figured a way out of this mess - The machine still boots up and thanks to a PCMCIA ethernet card and inetd from the eXceed package I could ftp into the 701 and get the files that I needed out of it.

The closest we came was when IBM was closing out their 170MB drives in caddy for ~$60. IBM doesn't even seem to have a part number for just the caddy. I asked a couple of the engineers who work in Thinkpad development and they couldn't help. There are a couple places that manufacture their own caddies for the TP75x line, and at least one place that makes caddies for the 701. Unfortunately, they won't sell you 701 caddy unless you buy their hard drive upgrade (which is not as bad as IBM's prices, but is still way out there). What many of us have done is remove the drive from the original caddy and replace it with a larger drive. I know at least one person on this list has done this with a 701 caddy, so you may be able to get instructions from him. -- John H.

You know, I have no problem with those on the list who want to sell their TP-related items or even someone who pops in to let us know he/she has a TP-related item to sell--clearly, it all applies to subject matter of the list and many of us can or have taken advantage of the deals we can often get from such info.

Nope, I agree completely. Not sure what the solution is, but my feeling is that, apart from the few that really don't understand, spammers are scum, and even the most reasonable, gentle requests to go away will fall on deaf ears. I've given up until I can find a suitable technical solution :) As far as the list goes, there's moderation (I doubt anyone really wants that) and blocking non-subscribers (which I wouldn't be opposed to, but is problematical).

Cc: linux-laptop@vger.rutgers.edu, linux-newbie@vger.rutgers.edu Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu I am currently running Linux (RedHat 3.0.3) kernel 2.0.25 on my IBM Thinkpad 755CD. I noticed that the pcmcia modules are very sensitive to which kernel loads them: i.e. I have 2 kernels, both 2.0.25, one with apm enabled and one without. I compiled the pcmcia modules while running the kernel with apm and everything works fine during startup. However, when I boot with the kernel without apm, during startup it says "failed to load modules. symbols from linux 2.0.25 don't match your linux 2.0.25..." or something to that effect. Basicly it seems like you can only use PCMCIA with the kernel you compiled it with. If someone knows a work around, I'd love to hear it! Now, I know, why two kernels? Well the Thinkpad needs to boot DOS first in order to load the proper drivers into the soundcard. I then use loadlin to boot linux. But loadlin will only work if the apm is disabled. Hence the need for this kernel. If I don't care for sound, I use lilo to boot the kernel with apm.

I wanted to be able to produce cd's with this combination, so I purchased another 1.08gb drive and drive holder for the multibay. When I installed this, it takes over the irq15, which the ethernet card had allocated, so I changed the irq on the ethernet to 9. WITHOUT enabling the drive in the multibay, everything works. WITH the drive enabled in the multibay, the drive works but not if the dock is connected. The machine will not run properly if connected to the dock with the 2nd drive. Does anyone recall anything about the irq 15 with respect to the dock? Any solutions? I am not using any pcmcia cards in this configuration to avoid irq 15 problems, as stated in the manual. Other info that may be useful: I cannot get windows to recognize the drive as other than 'removable'. If the drive is 'removable', my cdr software will not copy from it. Any help would be appreciated. -------------------------------------------------------- __ James F.

Also, since my thinkpad 750 runs NetBSD, most of the traffic on the list isn't very relevant for things I want to do. So I don't get much benefit from it.

Well, one somewhat-unsatisfactory workaround would be to compile the PCMCIA modules with APM support disabled. If you compile them with APM support turned on, they will expect a kernel that provides the APM calls.

Three additional solutions: 1. use different kernel revisions (2.0.23 and 2.0.24 just as stable as 2.0.25 and are virtually identical). Modules are stored by kernel revisions. 2. recompile one of your kernels without module support. I would suggest the non-APM one. 3. use identical kernels for both configs, but use the APM interface to disable/extend the parameters for the docked config. There is an old APMD that you can probably use. I use mine to tune parameters and suspend my TP750C.

It is a little slow but works great. Is it possible to upgrade the chip? Also do I have to change the BIOS to put a 1 gig hd? Where do I get a faq on this model? And is there anyone on this group that knows about how much memory this model will take, right now I have the original 4 mg chip with an added 16 mg's. Would it be worth it to put a 32 mg chip in it to speed things up or is the original chip too slow to make a diffference? Also the hinges on the screen are getting a little loose and has anyone gotten them tight again or do I have to send it in to the shop at a big buck price?

Anyone with any ideas? I recently installed DirectX on my 760C as part of the Command&Conquer "Red Alert" game. The release notes suggested that some video drivers are not completely DirectX compatible, and the game provides a couple of configuration options to work around driver problems. I found I had to tweak one of these options to get the game to run properly for me (on an external monitor, anyway -- I haven't actually tried it on the LCD yet).

I'd be surprized if it didn't. But they could always solder in the old chip again - if done properly and the board is cleaned afterwards it'd be pretty hard to tell it was ever out. Since they include this in the deal you should be fairly safe. A bigger risk would be you send it in to IBM for something like a keyboard repair and IBM swaps out the board with the cpu on it for whatever reason too - then you're back to the stock chip.

Can you find it? Guys, the "briefcase" isn't some mythical thing that is gone forever when you dump it. In fact, you can create and maintain many different briefcases if you like! Just right-click on the desktop, from the pop-up menu select "New", and then "Briefcase". Name it whatever you want. Bingo. Put whatever you want in it from the other computer (via network link or whatever) and you're set to go. ------- Randy Whittle rwhittle@usa.net USC Graduate School of Business http://www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle I'm for truth, no matter who tells it.

Neither AMD nor Cyrix (I don't know which chip PEP uses) make claims about *systemic* speed improvements; this is very difficult, since system speed is also a function of bus, cache, and BIOS (not to mention video and drive - both relatively fast on the 701, by the way). This is a common topic of discussion on several Usenet groups. Despite my skepticism, I plan to replace the DX2-66 on my home desktop machine with one of these chips - it is clear that the bottleneck on *that* machine is the CPU, and anyway for $40-$50 it is worth a shot. However, on the 701 the bus and lack of cache seem to be real problems: for example, on most systemic benchmarks it runs much slower than my home machine (though the disk and video are comparable). I'd be really surprised to see more than a marginal improvement in speed from the upgrade, certainly not enough to warrant the cost (much more than the $50 the chip itself costs!) - David R.

Cc: THINKPAD@cs.utk.edu Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu Yah, the Briefcase is very nice -- I can even update files sync'd from the WinNT server (3.51) at work when dialed into my ISP. It isn't fast, but is nice when I'm at a client site (as opposed to being on the LAN when I'm in the main office). However, I have a couple problems/questions that I'm hoping someone can answer: (1) Why is it that when I create a new file in a folder in the Briefcase, it has to be an old-style 8.3 name in order to get sync'd to the server if I do an update when dialed to my ISP? Long filenames work fine when on the office LAN. The NT server is using NTFS. (2) How do I remove files from the Briefcase without having to split them from the originals before deleting them? If I just delete a file in the briefcase, the next update wants to delete it from the server. Is there an easier way than having to split it from the original before deleting? (this is with files/folders at the top level of the briefcase) Thanks.

I thought PS/2 ports would happily take either a mouse or a keyboard, and didn't really care. I thought they were a lot like ADB in that regard.

I'd question whether its worthwhile to spend $500 on a chip upgrade for the following reasons: 1) as it's been said a bunch of times already, the bus and cache on the TP701 sucks - one might "double" their 701's performance with the 5x86, but that would then result in a 701 with the same performance as a good DX4/75 system; 2) ThinkPads will break down, EasyServ is cool for getting ThinkPads fixed fast and for free (if within warranty), and the last thing I'd want is to send my ThinkPad in for a new power or system board and find out that the repair would cost me another $500 because I voided the warranty - maybe an exageration but IBM repairs aren't cheap if you have to pay for them; and 3) if I'm right, the 5x86 doesn't have an FPU, so if you're running math-intensive apps you're performance might be the same or worse than the DX4-75 in the 701. I also think the 5x86 is a clock tripled chip, so the installed chip would be configured to run 25Mhz externally and 75Mhz internally, rather than the full 100Mhz that its designed for. The AMD WWW site has lots of info on 5x86 upgrades. Personally, I may do the upgrade myself when my warranty runs out, I know that I can find someone to do the surface mount soldering and save at least $300. If I'd have to spend $500 on the upgrade, I'd sooner hold on to the $500 and wait for an eventual TP560 liquidation, seems like a better investment. On the other hand, I may just leave my 701 alone and pack it away since it may be one hell of a valuable antique 20 or more years from now. The 701 is a very unique product worth keeping intact.

The AMD WWW site > has lots of info on 5x86 upgrades. The AMD 586 is clock-quadrupled (unlike the corresponding Cyrix, which is only tripled but faster for other reasons, so that the Cy586-100 is roughly comparable to the AMD586-133, both replacements for DX33 chips). > Personally, I may do the upgrade myself when my warranty runs out, I Big mistake! Neither the AMD nor the Cyrix are 100% pin-compatible with the Intel - for example, there's a pin on one of them used to trigger clock-multiplication, not on the other one. Your motherboard needs to recognize the chip, and your BIOS needs to be able to activate features (like the caching, which surely is different from that on the IBM-made 486 in the 701). Now, there *are* tiny boards available for about $125 >from several vendors, which contain the 586 chips and somehow make them fully compatible; these are sold for painless upgrades of 486 desktop systems. Possibly one of these can be soldered onto the 701 MB (or a ZIF socket can be soldered on, and one of these boards plugged into *that*), but I don't know if there's room. I expect that the reason the upgrade for the 701c is so expensive is that they incorporate a customized form of one of these boards. - David (ross@math.hawaii.edu) From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Thu Dec 5 16:55:37 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA221122934; Thu, 5 Dec 1996 16:55:34 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id QAA28395; Thu, 5 Dec 1996 16:51:06 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Thu, 5 Dec 1996 16:37:07 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id QAA26750; Thu, 5 Dec 1996 16:37:04 -0500 Received: from andrew.cais.com (andrew.cais.com [199.0.216.215]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id QAA26743; Thu, 5 Dec 1996 16:37:01 -0500 Received: from cais3.cais.com (cais3.cais.com [199.0.216.227]) by andrew.cais.com (8.6.9/8.6.9-cais) with SMTP id QAA15454 for ; Thu, 5 Dec 1996 16:36:44 -0500 Date: Thu, 5 Dec 1996 16:36:44 -0500 (EST) From: rj To: thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Subject: Win NT 4.0 Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu Just installed NT 4.0 on a TP701CS.

I just finished doing it on my 755CD. The only tricky part was matching up the right filenames and directories in the mwmwin.ini. I had to expand the files manually since the install program refused to do it since the beta is only supposed to be for dynalink cards. I think I might hack together a batch file over the weekend that will install automatically for people. The mwmodem program with the little modem lights shows that it recognizes it as a 33.6k modem, but so far after two tries I only got 28.8 connections on IBM's internet service which is supposed to have 33.6k modems on their end.

It has connectors for 10baseT or Tbase2. I use the 10baseT which works perfectly and the 28.8 modem works perfectly. I have not used them simultaneously but it's theoretically possible. An additional nice feature of the Xircom is digital protection.

I'm using a Megahertz XJEM3288 on my 560. Highlights: - 28.8K modem / 14.4K fax - 10BaseT and coax Ethernet with appropriate cables, only one of these included. - Flash ROM - Modem has cellular support, cables required (check out www.mhz.com for more info) The included Win95 installation was buggy. The latest version from their site worked (on 2nd attempt..). Other than that, it's a great product. Smooth modem and network connections with no voodoo or tweaking. One issue you should be aware of: there are two similar versions, XJEM3288 and CCEM3288. The former has the "X-Jack" (built-in pop-up phone socket, see the MHz site for a photo). While it's very convenient and saves carrying an extra cable, the plug may be blocked by a 2nd PCMCIA card. So if you plan on using the modem and another card (e.g., SCSI) simultaneously, get the CC version.

I have a TP750C w/ a PC-DOS 6.3/Windows 3.11 configuration. I'm using the built in PC-DOS compression, which swaps C: with E:. I'm also loading the Socket Services ATA/SRAM driver, which assigns each of the slots to D: and E:, hence making E: (raw HD) inaccessible to Windows. Is there a way to force PC-DOS to swap C: and F: or G: at bootup instead? Thanks in advance, Dave. -- Dave Ahn, ahn@relito.medeng.bgsm.edu "When you were born you cried, and the world rejoiced.

They ask you where you saw the ad: "PC Week on Nov 25." They then ask you something about the ad: "The Line Speed Lie." The second question I am not sure the answer is right, but just say the ad isn't in-front of you at the moment. I think they ask the second question to keep people who don't have the ad from using this offer.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu Hi everyone, I wonder if anyone has had problems with the HD interface on a TP750 failing? After acting on advice to get a non-IBM HD to work in my 750, I successfully got my Hitachi 810MB drive to work by breaking the link between the master/slave pins on the HD connector inside the caddy. Everything worked fine for a couple of weeks, until one day I reopened the lid, after suspending the machine as usual, the HD LED remained ON and the machine wouldn't wake up. I had to remove the battery and disconnect the power to get the machine to reset. After this, when the machine boots, the HD LED flickers very dimly, but the HD is not recognised, and the machine doesn't boot. If I remove the HD, everything seems OK on the self-test. Could I have damaged the machine by changing the disk drive? I think the disk is still OK because the symptoms are the same with a different HD. I still have 2 months' warranty left, so I'm planning to return it (after restoring the original HD). Martin.

Just an anecdotal reference, I've had two xjack modems (a 14.4 and a 28.8) and have never had the xjack break (I have broken a couple dongles). These poor xjacks take an amazing amount of abuse, since I use it at home, the phone cord is generally laying about begging to get tripped over, stepped on, etc. One particularly spectacular trip yanked the entire pcmcia modem out of its socket, socket cover and all.. popped it back in and all was well. BTW, both of these were megahertz, can't say about the others.

I'd have to second that to some extent, and add that I *have* had another X-Jack "Clone" made by Practical Peripherals--man, was that thing a LEMON! It never could stay in--nothing but problems. But as for the Megahertz "originals" (they invented it & own the patent), the MHz I have right now with X-Jack works wonderfully with no problems--and its taken a bit of abuse too. Alas, it was a little hairy to use with my 701 (fold-out keyboard), but functional, and on the 560 I have to make sure I use the "upper" slot--the bottom slot doesn't work because the computer is so darn *thin* that the bottom part of the RJ-11 plug hits the table before it can lock into place in the X-Jack! ------- Randy Whittle rwhittle@usa.net USC Graduate School of Business http://www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle I'm for truth, no matter who tells it.

The dongles, by virtue of having to plug into the card while protecting the pin connectors, are usually about 1/2 to 3/4 the thickness of the card. The dongles usually extend further out from the computer as well. What this means is that in a drop or yank, the dongles have a bigger moment arm and a smaller thickness to resist that moment. The dongle on my AT&T modem barely survived a fall off my lap onto the sofa. It was bent but the wires still worked. It died the next drop. My IBM ethernet card's dongle has held up a little better, but it's also a little loose due to a fall. The MHz XJack I had survived numerous falls. Often the XJack was short enough that the computer case took the brunt of the fall. The couple times it fell on the XJack, the XJack just popped back in. I also inadvertently lifted the computer by the XJack a couple times, without ill effects. The MHz rep I spoke to when I returned my first modem (DOA) said they'd never had an XJack modem returned due to the XJack breaking off. Of course this was in 1993... -- John H.

In defense of the dongle camp: I have had three Xjacks and two had problems. I had a Hayes Xjack and it would no longer stay in. I returned it for another that worked fine till I sold it. Then I beta tested a MHz 33.6 Xjack model that got the head of a phone cord stuck in it. After trying to get it out normally, I had to really yank on it which bent the pins. MHz recognized it was a problem and replaced it. In their defense they said newer models had a solution for the problem. Another nit about the Xjacks: Because of the orientation of the cable it interferes with some other PCMCIA cards I use. I like to use two cards at one time.

I'm trying to get the fax side of my tp701's inboard fax modem working, and am having problems. I may just need to give my fax software (hylafax 4.0pl0) the right command set for the fax modem, but unfortunately i don't know where to get that. Does anyone know where to look for it? (I tried search at , but don't even know exactly what to search for!) (It sounds like my machine fails when trying to connect with the remote fax machine. I hear the dialup, answer, machines whistle at eachother and then warble for a moment, but this does not seem to succeed, because the opening whistle/warble sequence gets repeated a few times. Finally the remote machine hangs up, but my machine doesn't recognize that, and continues to try to send a probe tone - even after the robot lady picks up the phone and suggests hanging up and trying to call again. This happened with two different fax machines, so i suspect the way i'm configuring my software to use the fax modem...) Generally, has anyone used the 701 fax modem with hylafax? Hints and tips would be emphatically welcome! (I'm trying to find a quick way to send mail to my girlfriend, who's at a buddhist monastary in france for a while - fax would be handy!)

Yes, but the Cy586, the AMD586, and the 701's CPU all use different caching strategies, and clock multiplication is triggered using different signals. So, the BIOS also needs to be either changed or fooled. (This is why motherboards usually have different jumperings for these chips.) I believe the miniboards by Evergreen, Kingston, and the like do some sort of hardware/software emulation for this. Just swapping the chip would certainly not be enough. > The chip itself, usually the AMD 486DX -133 is less than $45. > peter..

I could install the zip IFS drivers or the SCSI card drivers under warp but not both at the same time. I finally gave up and use my zip formatted FAT. This works OK, but it is slow and FAT is bad for extended attributes. I've seen no updates of the OS/2 zip drivers, so I assume they think it isn't a problem. I assumed that this was just a problem with the IBM SCSI, but if you are having the same problem with Adaptec, then maybe Iomega can be convinced take more notice.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu I'm hoping someone has an elegant solution to this: I (and several others in my company) need to hook up our laptops via ethernet when we're in the office, and dialup from home. Our internal net is on a different subnet from our modem bank. We use dynamic PPP. The only way our IS guys have been able to make this work is to run .reg files that do this: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\NetTrans\0003] "IPAddress"="0.0.0.0" "IPMask"="0.0.0.0" to switch to dialup, and the same thing with real IP's for local ethernet. The problem as I understand it is that when we're set up for the office, with the IP's entered for our local net, it's cool, but when that same config is used over dialup, win95 still uses those IP's, instead of using the IP the PPP server gives them. The result is that it appears to work, but we can't ping anywhere :) I figure other people must have run into this?

I am now trying to get the internal sound card to work in full-duplex mode which it refuses to do with the most recent drivers (v1.4) from the ibm BBS. However I seem to remember that I could record and play at the same time with the old drivers from crystal semiconductors. Does anyone have these old drivers as neither IBM or crystal will provide them. They came preinstalled on the 360/750/755c/cs and I think are called: cs48BA11.386 cs48BA11.drv cs48BA11.vxd bwcc.dll various applets.exe If anyone could email these file to me I would be most grateful. In return I can provide the recent drivers which will give full sound and MIDI support under windows95 and dos which means at last you can play doom with full sound on a non-mwave ThinkPad. While I'm here has anyone managed to get the Volume control to work under win95?

There you can specify "Obtain an IP address automatically". I've got a TP755C and have cards for a 3COM Ethernet III (combo), Olicom Token-Ring and a Motorola Montana 28.8 modem. At work, I usually have one of the net cards, TR mostly, and the modem. When I connect from home, I disconnect or take out the net card (so that W95 won't try to connect me to a network) and just do a dial up connection to my ISP via PPP. At work, I use both the NW32 client for LAN connections and TCP to go into the Internet. If I did a dial up connection at work, my LAN and TCP connections would be severed but the LAN ones could be restored after a dial up connect. The TCP connections thru the net cards can be specified for either automatic or fixed address assignment.

Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu I beat my head against the wall for a couple of weeks trying to figure out why I could connect to everywhere BUT my office network through the Win95 PPP dialup to my ISP. I could get to the office machines just fine when on the ethernet at work, just not when I was dialing up to my ISP. My ethernet card was set to a static IP addr, my dialup to a dynamic IP addr (controlpanel->network, look for the two seperate TCPIP items.) The problem is that Win95 is just bright enough to be a pain in the butt. I found that everything works fine if my ethernet card is REMOVED from my 'pad before dialing to my ISP -- I can connect to the office ethernet and all that stuff. It appears that Win95 sees that the ethernet card is in the machine (config'd for the office LAN), so it sends all packets for that IP range to the ethernet card. It doesn't seem to check to see if the card is actually connected to anything. I imagine this is probably your problem; try booting the laptops without your ethernet cards and see if it fixes it.

The other thing you can do is define a second configuration where the lan card is not part of that configuration and everything works fine -- of course that implies rebooting...

I hope my experience last night can shed some light for other's here. For those who wondered, I pulled the update off of Watson at: http://watson.mbb.sfu.ca/software/software.html The upgrade for this isn't at watson, however, it's only referenced there and can be found at: http://www.netcnct.net/business/6bit/links/index.html It's called "33k6up.exe". After downloading it and letting it expand, I found a readme that was written in, I think, German. So, I decided to click on what turns out to be the installation utility, 336.exe. Unfortunately, that utility only allows you to update a dynalink card, and exited. So, I used the supplied "expand.exe" utility to expand the many files into one temp directory, and went to work. . . In short, while I can't say now *exactly* what I did to get it working, I essentially replaced all my current files in the c:\mww\modem with the new files from this upgrade. (In some cases you need to shut down mwave since they're being accessed and can't be overwritten). That didn't really do it all though, and I had to visually compare the *.tap and *.hap files (which appear to be, essentially, "ini" files) and update my ini files to suit -- there wasn't, in all, very much I had to update as most of the entries were identical to my current ini configs. Last, I used "Add New Hardware" on my Win95 system to install the supplied drivers (the update contains an inf file named "mwmdm410.inf" that I pointed "Add New Hardware" to after telling it I wanted to specify a new modem; I replied "no" to the "search for new hardware" question, and replied "no" for "detect new modem." I then told it to look for a new driver and pointed it at "mwmdm410.inf"). The new driver came up as "Mwave 33.6 Data Fax VOD Modem", and I let Win95 install it. Once finished, I rebooted, and the new mwave modem utility came up and identified it as a 33600 modem! Nifty. (Dev Manager, however, still thinks it's a 28800 modem. Any thoughts on that?) This morning I logged into my ISP, Primenet, and connected at 21.4kbps, or so. Not what I'd hoped for. So, a while ago, I downloaded the V34.dsp fix from watson, version 2.36, since the V34.dsp file I'd just installed in this upgrade was version 2.25, and, in general, I'm a believer in "newer is better." That done, I logged into Primenet again, and Win95 told me I was connected at 56KBPS! Probably not, but something good was happening. The Mwave Modem program told me I connected at 33.6, but then dropped it down to 31.2, where it stayed (and still is). I roughly tested the speed by downloading some files, and routinely achieved around 3.0kbps transfers, with some hitting 4.2kbps. Hardly scientific, but pretty good performance. I hope this admittedly-rambling experience helps others. So far, it seems the upgrade works pretty well. Got to run, I'm VERY late. . . ;-) Dean cashen@primenet.com From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Tue Dec 10 19:53:27 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA122755606; Tue, 10 Dec 1996 19:53:26 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id SAA22768; Tue, 10 Dec 1996 18:44:26 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Tue, 10 Dec 1996 18:42:55 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id SAA22608; Tue, 10 Dec 1996 18:42:54 -0500 Received: from ucs.orst.edu (mosleys@UCS.ORST.EDU [128.193.4.5]) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id SAA22601; Tue, 10 Dec 1996 18:42:48 -0500 Received: by ucs.orst.edu; (5.65v3.2/1.1.8.2/13Sep96-1023AM) id AA20806; Tue, 10 Dec 1996 15:42:38 -0800 Date: Tue, 10 Dec 1996 15:42:37 -0800 (PST) From: Stephen Mosley To: thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Subject: Stranded without boot floppy?

Hi, Jesse. I ran into the same problem on Windows 95 and found that a simple, $8.00 shareware utility called NetSwitch was very helpful. The = user interface is kinda clunky, but it beats reg files.

I work at home and at work at my university as a GSRA What you have is my setup as well. Except why does your's try to dial when you are at work?... Mine doesn't.

In-Reply-To: Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu I don't see what the problem is. I have Win95 on my TP755CX as well as the CJ3288 combo modem/ethernet, and I've never had these problems. I get my address at work (ethernet) via DHCP and I use PPP at home. I *don't* have any of my PPP DNS/routing/IP information in the Network control panel applet - all of that is in my PPP settings. I plug my laptop in at work, and he gets his IP address/information automatically. I see no difference to having it setup via DHCP or statically. It should still work. Each PPP connection has his own settings, and that shouldn't interfere with Ethernet. Oh, and don't even try to get the Megahertz combo working under NT 4.0. I gave up after five calls to Megahertz support and days (weeks?) of trying to get it going. I could either have the modem OR the ethernet configured at one time. I'm not talking getting the modem and ethernet WORKING (ie, online) at the same time, I'm just talking about having the modem 'available' (ie, seen by the system) when my ethernet was configured.

I got a few replies, two of which said the pixels were most likely in the process of becoming stuck. One of these messages said that when his display was doing this, sometimes he could make it disappear by pressing on the screen nearby. I tried this, and found that if I pushed towards the left, both pixels would turn blue (whereas before it was one or the other). Conversely, pushing the screen towards the right made them both disappear. As you can guess, I tried pushing harder, enough to maybe reseat the TFT within the case. It seems to have worked - I have not seen either pixel get stuck in the last two weeks. I have no idea why this works, or what's going on... -- John H.

This has been tested on a TP755CE with WIN95 and a TP760CD with WIN3.11. Installation instructions follow. ---------------- Update... I've been told that the installation program may work if you manually expand the .inf file and replace the .inf file in the c:\windows\inf directory. I have not tested this to see if it works or not and i am not sure if there is anything else you need to do to get the installation program to run. Might be worth a try cause it would save doing all the stuff below. Also, I have found that from time to time the Mwave modem crashes when I try to disconnect from my dialup in win95. Not sure what the cause is, possibly a bug in the beta drivers, you lose sound and everything and have to reboot to get it back. -------------- General: You must be running the newest Mwave Drivers for Thinkpads, v2.22. Get the Dynalink 33.6k upgrade from the following address: http://www.netcnct.net/business/6bit/links/ Create a temporary directory and put the 33k6up.exe file into it. Run the 33k6up.exe file and it will expand itself into that directory. Now the setup program with the upgrade won't run on a TP so you have to expand files manually, the good news is that you don'n need all of them. Delete all of the files EXCEPT: MWMLOADW.DL_ MWMMSGW.DL_ MWMPARSW.DL_ ASYNC.DS_ MNP.DS_ MODEM.DS_ V34.DS_ V42.DS_ MWMWIN.EX_ EXPAND.EXE Now, expand all of the filename.??_ files using the expand program, cut and paste the following into a batch file to make your life easier: -----start batch here---- EXPAND MWMLOADW.DL_ MWMLOADW.DLL EXPAND MWMMSG.DL_ MWMMSG.DLL EXPAND MWMPARSW.DL_ MWMPARSW.DLL EXPAND ASYNC.DS_ ASYNC.DSP EXPAND MNP.DS_ MNP.DSP EXPAND MODEM.DS_ MODEM.DSP EXPAND V34.DS_ V34.DSP EXPAND V42.DS_ V42.DSP EXPAND MWWIN.EX_ MWWIN.EXE ----end batch here---- Delete all of the files ending in *.??_ as well as the expand.exe file. WIN95 instructions: First off, it might be a good idea to backup all of the following files: Everything in your C:\MWW and C:\MWW\MODEM directories (zip them all into one file is easiest) The following files in your C:\WINDOWS directory: MWAUDIO.INI, MWAVE.INI, MWCONTD.INI, MWMWIN.INI The MWMDM430.INF file in the hidden C:\WINDOWS\INF directory. Copy all of the files in your temporary directory into the C:\MWW\MODEM directory and replace all of your old files with these newer ones. Uninstall the mwave modem from the Device Manager by clicking on it and clicking REMOVE. Using a text editor change the following: In the MWMDOS.INI file in the C:\MWW directory: Under [VERSIONS], OEM=Thinkpad to OEM=Thinkpad 33.6 Under [FEATURES], add the line V334EM=1 <---special thanks to Joshua Hosseinof for this Under [STARTUP], SPEED=28800 to SPEED=33600 In the MWCONFIG.INI file in the C:\MWW directory: Under [NativeDOS], Default=28.8kModem to Default=33.6kModem In the MWAVE.INI and the TESTWAVE.INI files in the C:\MWW directory: Under [Mwave,Board] you can increase the ips= value up to somewhere around 25000000 In the MWMWIN.INI file in the C:\WINDOWS directory: Under [VERSIONS], OEM=Thinkpad to OEM=Thinkpad 33.6 Under [FEATURES], add the line V334EM=1 Under [STARTUP], SPEED=28800 to SPEED=33600 In the MWMDM430.INF file in the C:\WINDOWS\INF (hidden) directory: Under [STRINGS], MwaveModem = "Thinkpad 28.8 Data Fax VOD Modem" to MwaveModem = "Thinkpad 33.6 Data Fax VOD Modem" And that's it. Do a cold reboot of the system and WIN95 should detect your new Thinkpad 33.6 Data Fax VOD Modem! The Mwave Modem program should also see the modem as 33600 and the v34 setting should also have changed to 33.6. WIN3.11 instructions: Upgrade to WIN95 and follow the above instructions (just kidding, here we go): First off, it might be a good idea to backup all of the following files: Everything in your C:\MWW and C:\MWW\MODEM directories (zip them all into one file is easiest) The following files in your C:\WINDOWS directory: MWAUDIO.INI, MWAVE.INI, MWCONTD.INI, MWMWIN.INI Copy all of the files in your temporary directory into the C:\MWW\MODEM directory and replace all of your old files with these newer ones. Using a text editor change the following: In the MWMDOS.INI file in the C:\MWW directory: Under [VERSIONS], OEM=Thinkpad to OEM=Thinkpad 33.6 Under [FEATURES], add the line V334EM=1 <---special thanks to Joshua Hosseinof for this Under [STARTUP], SPEED=28800 to SPEED=33600 In the MWCONFIG.INI file in the C:\MWW directory: Under [NativeDOS], Default=28.8kModem to Default=33.6kModem In the MWAVE.INI file in the C:\MWW directory: Under [Mwave,Board] you can increase the ips= value up to somewhere around 25000000 In the MWMWIN.INI file in the C:\WINDOWS directory: Under [VERSIONS], OEM=Thinkpad to OEM=Thinkpad 33.6 Under [FEATURES], add the line V334EM=1 Under [STARTUP], SPEED=28800 to SPEED=33600 And that's it. Do a cold reboot of the system and you should have a Thinkpad 33.6 Data Fax VOD Modem! The Mwave Modem program should also see the modem as 33600 and the v34 setting should also have changed to 33.6. As far as I can tell, this all works. Since the drivers are only a beta release there may be some glitches that pop up. Hopefully things will work well.

To: thinkpad X-Mailer: Worldtalk (NetConnex V4.00a)/MIME Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu OK, I have seen a few mail notes about what a nightmare it is to configure the Ethernet*Modem combo cards from Megahertz in a Windows 3.1/DOS environment. I can now feel your pain. I have found that non-ESS systems (ie-750, 360, 755CX) are a snap to set up. Set the LAN irq to 5 and away it goes. However, all of the systems that use the ESS sound have irq 5 locked, and that is the problem. I was reading through the documentation, and it states that BOTH the LAN and Modem irq's must be below 8 or above (???), and that is the source of the problem. Has anyone had any sucess in setting up the combo cards on a 365X, or a 760EL? I am still messing around with the IRQ's, but haven't gotten it working yet. Has anyone summarized what they did to get it working? If I can figure it out, I will post a How-To on it. RK rjking@kodak.com ps- Windows 95 has the settings of 5 for the ESS irq, and 15 for the LAN irq. Hmmmm......

I've used 750C and 755CD Thinkpads with the universal supply in Hong Kong, Europe, and the Middle East. Also, I've used a Compaq with a similar universal supply in Beijing, Nanjing, Shanghai, Guangzhou (Canton), Singapore, and Malaysia. You will need either an adapter for the local power outlets so that you can plug your power cord into the wall or a cord with a local power plug on one end and a US type computer socket on the other, but you can generally obtain these wherever you are. If you have the universal supply, you will not need a stepdown transformer. Hope this helps.

Now that's silly.. =) All you need to do is change the screen color to all white to check for pixels not turning on, then all black to test for ones not turning off. If you don't see any spots that are not all white or all black then it is fine. The human eye is very good at spotting things like this.

The human eye is very good at spotting things like this. Alas, I wish it were that simple. I have a few pixels on my 760C that work great on certain colors (blue comes to mind) and on a black background, but fail on red or remain blue. One pixel is partially stuck, and it will flicker under blue only, but is fine everywhere else. A program, as described above, would be great for picking out pixels that do not fail in a on/off-->white/black situation. ------------------------------------------------------------- | Mark Bell |"A sufficient quantity of delusions | |800 College Drive #126 |constitutes a valid reality, while a| | Vineland, NJ 08360 |lack of an appreciable amount of | | 609-327-5994 |reality constitutes a delusion" | | bytehead@mindspring.com| | ------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Wed Dec 18 10:00:12 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA068481211; Wed, 18 Dec 1996 10:00:11 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id JAA20987; Wed, 18 Dec 1996 09:58:56 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Wed, 18 Dec 1996 09:54:14 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id JAA20417; Wed, 18 Dec 1996 09:54:12 -0500 Received: from babel.enteract.com (babel.enteract.com [206.54.252.9]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id JAA20404; Wed, 18 Dec 1996 09:54:07 -0500 Received: from belial-50.d.enteract.com (belial-50.d.enteract.com [207.112.154.59]) by babel.enteract.com (8.8.2/8.7.3) with SMTP id IAA00170 for ; Wed, 18 Dec 1996 08:54:02 -0600 (CST) From: epbrown@enteract.com (epbrown) To: thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Subject: Re: tft display testing Date: Wed, 18 Dec 1996 14:55:41 GMT Organization: People's Front Against World Wide Web Message-Id: <32bd04fe.13777749@smtp.enteract.com> References: In-Reply-To: X-Mailer: Forte Agent .99f/32.299 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu Awright, awready!

I have a few pixels on my 760C that work > great on certain colors (blue comes to mind) and on a black background, but fail > on red or remain blue. each pixel in an lcd screen has 3 independent components: red, green, and blue. (if you look with a magnifying glass, you can see the individual components) any component of any pixel can become "stuck on" or "stuck off". to test for stuck-ons, make your screen black and look for non-black pixels. to test for stuck-offs, make your screen red and look for black pixels, then make it green and look for black pixels, then make it blue and look for black pixels. you can set the screen color either by changing the windows background or by running the paint program and filling the page with a solid color. theoretically, you shouldn't have to do red, green, and blue separately, since making the screen white turns them all on together, and any non-white pixel has a problem. but it turns out that one pixel with one missing component is hard to see against a white background, especially if that component is red or blue. since differences in green have a far greater impact on our visual system, problems with green components are much more noticeable than problems with red or blue components. i used a laptop with several blue stuck-offs and a red stuck-off for several years, without ever noticing them in everyday use. i now have a laptop with one green stuck-on, and i notice it all the time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- George S.

The faster way in Paint Shop Pro [why capture anything?] is to hit New, tell it what size you want it to be, then fill the whole thing with the paint bucket in whatever color you want. Done.. =) Temporarily changing the color schemes in Windows or OS/2 [or most any GUI] can get you the same thing with what you already have handy. I don't personally have a Thinkpad yet, but am saving for a TP560-120MHz [maybe 133MHz] and 32MB mem module and will have it in 2 months. I can't stand to buy anything on credit.

Could someone send me a table breaking down partition size vs cluster size -- so I might subdivide my disk optimally to avoid having a bunch of tiny files allocated in area with huge cluster size. I have in mind making a small partition #1 containing minimal 32 MB DOS6.22, Windows 3.1, IBM Card Services, and Adaptec EZ-SCSI with Backup Basics. I'll boot from this partition for system backups and restores. This should save enormous amount of time which is otherwise wasted rebuilding these items to just to restore backup >from tape to another disk partition. This would have the added advantage of maintaining my directory of backup tape contents so I don't have to rescan a tape to catalog it before restoring it. Partition #2 would be the main partition for smaller programs containing many small files -- the partition size would be set to generate small cluster size. Partition #3 would be for large programs, testing or portable development using sytems like Win95/WinNT + MS C++ Professional, OS/2 with IBM C++, linux, etc. Cheers, Alexander From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Sun Dec 22 02:25:42 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA124959540; Sun, 22 Dec 1996 02:25:40 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id CAA06011; Sun, 22 Dec 1996 02:25:06 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Sun, 22 Dec 1996 02:20:00 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id CAA05728; Sun, 22 Dec 1996 02:19:58 -0500 Received: from cap1.CapAccess.org (ccarey@cap1.CapAccess.org [207.91.115.50]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id CAA05722; Sun, 22 Dec 1996 02:19:55 -0500 Received: (from ccarey@localhost) by cap1.CapAccess.org (8.6.12/8.6.10) id CAA07020; Sun, 22 Dec 1996 02:23:27 -0500 Date: Sun, 22 Dec 1996 02:23:27 -0500 (EST) From: Christian Carey To: "Alexander J.

The FAT cluster size follows powers-of-two MB: partition size cluster size -------------- ------------ up to 32 MB 512 B 64 MB 1 KB 128 MB 2 KB 256 MB 4 KB 512 MB 8 KB 1 GB 16 KB 2 GB 32 KB (In this list, 1 KB = 1024 B; 1 MB = 1024 KB; and 1 GB = 1024 MB.) Regarding your partitioning plan, I'd make the first one 64 MB rather than 32 MB (to allow for extra typefaces, memory managers, &c.). Your third one should probably stay below 512 MB; that would leave your second one in the 256 MB category. > Partition #3 would be for large programs, testing or > portable development using sytems like Win95/WinNT + > MS C++ Professional, OS/2 with IBM C++, linux, etc. Note that the cluster sizes above apply only to FAT file systems; the Linux file system and NTFS have "cluster"- type structures that aren't dependent on the size of their respective partitions. I don't know which behavior HPFS exhibits. Happy partitioning!

I'll add my recommendation to Steve's. For about $50, this is a software program that can save you HOURS of pain. However, about that cluster size thing--Partition Magic can't magically make your clusters smaller (on a normal FAT system). It *will* "suggest" a parition size more suited to the data contained on that particular partition which will optimize the slack loss by going to a partition size/cluster size combination that is best for the data/size of files on that partition. I can't say enough about Partition Magic though--who'd have thought you could change partition sizes on the fly without destroying data contained thereon?! Its beautiful. ------- Randy Whittle rwhittle@usa.net USC Graduate School of Business http://www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle I'm for truth, no matter who tells it.

Offhand, I don't recall the exact table, but... At around the 512 MB, your cluster size slips into 16K--otherwise, its 8K all the way down to about 250 MB, at which point below that its 4K. From 512-ish to a touch over 1 GB, its that 16K--over that 1 GB size (I think the exact is 1024 MB) you're suddenly in the 32K cluster range--ouch! Your partitioning scheme seems like a neat plan, but personally, I think it would be a PITA--I'm all for saving space lost to big cluster sizes, but I'd prefer to minimize the number of drives too. Your mileage may vary, but if it were me, I'd partition into two--you pick the sizes, but 8K clusters is about as reasonable as it gets while still maintaining decent HD partition sizes. ------- Randy Whittle rwhittle@usa.net USC Graduate School of Business http://www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle I'm for truth, no matter who tells it.

My first system was the DX2-50, which I sold to upgrade to the DX4-75 with a larger drive and 4MB of RAM (the DX4s come with 8MB on the motherboard, the DX2s only start with 4MB). I ran both side by side, usually swapping my drive between the two, and ran Wintune = on both. Basically, the system is so slow, compared to other similarly configed desktops and laptops, that there's almost no perceptible difference between the two. I'm still glad I got the larger drive and = that smidgen of RAM when I bought my 2nd one, but in terms of performance = things seem no snappier. Of course, in terms of resale value this will mean something. ;-) epbrown epbrown@enteract.com Laptop Central, home of the Portable Computing FAQ http://www.enteract.com/~epbrown From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Sun Dec 22 22:20:56 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA291221255; Sun, 22 Dec 1996 22:20:55 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id WAA16225; Sun, 22 Dec 1996 22:20:34 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Sun, 22 Dec 1996 22:15:08 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id WAA15733; Sun, 22 Dec 1996 22:15:06 -0500 Received: from anugpo.anu.edu.au (anugpo.anu.edu.au [150.203.2.6]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id WAA15708; Sun, 22 Dec 1996 22:14:55 -0500 Received: from leonard.anu.edu.au (ask611@leonard.anu.edu.au [150.203.2.15]) by anugpo.anu.edu.au (8.8.4/8.8.3) with ESMTP id OAA17787 for ; Mon, 23 Dec 1996 14:14:45 +1100 (EST) From: Alden S Klovdahl Received: (ask611@localhost) by leonard.anu.edu.au (8.8.4/8.6.12) id OAA12566; Mon, 23 Dec 1996 14:14:43 +1100 (EST) Date: Mon, 23 Dec 1996 14:14:35 +1100 (EST) To: thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Subject: thinkpad 760 with NT In-Reply-To: <199612181100.LAA33224@mule0.mindspring.com> Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu are the new thinkpad 760's with NT preloaded coming with anything more than the appropriate drivers and powermangment functionalitiy? in other words, will it be possible to retrofit what's coming in the new tp760 NT to earlier 760's? thanks, al Alden S Klovdahl / alden.klovdahl@anu.edu.au / fax: +61 62 49 05 25 Sociology Arts / Australian National University / Canberra ACT Australia 0200 From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Mon Dec 23 07:11:15 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA059733075; Mon, 23 Dec 1996 07:11:15 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id HAA20002; Mon, 23 Dec 1996 07:11:02 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Mon, 23 Dec 1996 07:05:38 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id HAA19546; Mon, 23 Dec 1996 07:05:35 -0500 Received: from sunset.ma.huji.ac.il (sunset.ma.huji.ac.il [132.64.32.12]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id HAA19529; Mon, 23 Dec 1996 07:05:29 -0500 Received: (from hart@localhost) by sunset.ma.huji.ac.il (8.6.11/8.6.10) id OAA11007 for thinkpad@cs.utk.edu; Mon, 23 Dec 1996 14:05:31 +0200 Date: Mon, 23 Dec 1996 14:05:31 +0200 From: Sergiu Hart Message-Id: <199612231205.OAA11007@sunset.ma.huji.ac.il> To: thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Subject: 560 + megahertz combo Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu [] i am getting a thinkpad 560 next week, and i want to get a megahertz combo (modem/fax - ethernet). i saw some messages saying there are problems with this combination. is that so? thanx. bye, --sergiu-- ---------------------------------------------- home page: http://www.ma.huji.ac.il/~hart ---------------------------------------------- From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Mon Dec 23 10:29:36 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA085354975; Mon, 23 Dec 1996 10:29:35 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA01424; Mon, 23 Dec 1996 10:28:54 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Mon, 23 Dec 1996 10:23:35 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA00964; Mon, 23 Dec 1996 10:23:33 -0500 Received: from doblegate.doble.com (doblegate.doble.com [204.215.186.10]) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA00936; Mon, 23 Dec 1996 10:22:52 -0500 From: Received: from ccMail by doblegate.doble.com (IMA Internet Exchange v1.04) id 2bbfd3e0; Sat, 21 Dec 96 10:07:42 -0500 Mime-Version: 1.0 Date: Mon, 23 Dec 1996 10:06:18 -0500 Message-Id: <2bbfd3e0@doblegate.doble.com> Subject: Re[2]: Thinkpad 750Cs hard drive upgrade 340 MB ==> 720 MB To: thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: cc:Mail note part Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu Hello, Partition Magic does a good job.

This is probably a naieve question, but i mostly use unix, and am in less than familiar territory particularly when it comes to dos/windows os/hardware configuration. Quite a while back i wiped out and reestablished dos and windows on my thinkpad, as part of a harddisk reconfigure and linux install. I did make floppy backups so i could resurrect the stuff, but it seems like that only included the dos, windows, and os/2 base components. Over time i've picked up or reconstructed some of the useful extras, like faxworks from the ibm ftp site 'mobiles' directory, but i don't seem to be able to find any leads on resurrecting "card services". I gather that the backups don't include the thinkpad "extras", particularly the c:\thinkpad directory where autodrv.sys is supposed to be found? (I have found the 701c_sas.exe, which contains all the thinkpad-distribution .ini files, but of course the entries for the drivers are useless without the drivers...) Anyway, i looked all over http://www.pc.ibm.com for a place to pick up card services, to no avail. The 701_tips.txt identifies a number of files: IBMDSS01.SYS DOS PCMCIA Socket Services Driver 1.35 04-05-95 14888 IBMDOSCS.SYS DOS PCMCIA Card Services Driver 2.21 04-17-95 29535 DICRMU01.SYS DOS PCMCIA Resource Map Utility 1.16 12-01-94 10806 $ICPMDOS.SYS DOS PC Card Power Management Driver 2.22 12-01-94 4500 AUTODRV.SYS DOS PCMCIA PC Card Auto Configurator 1.09 11-11-94 13644 all of which are not found when i search the site. (I suspect they'be been retired, due to diminishing tp701 support.) I want all this because i recently got a 3Com etherlink III fast ethernet/modem card, and i have it working with my linux side of things, but it seems to need card services to be recognized on the dos/windows side. (I would like to use it with newly resurrected faxworks that i obtained from the ibm site, netcom netcomplete, etc.) Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

I'm using precisely this configuration. There are two problems I've encountered: - The bundled installation floppy failed to work. The drivers from the MHz site installed successfully, but only on 2nd attempt. - As with all X-Jacks, the RJ-11 phone jack blocks access to the 2nd PCMCIA socket when plugged in. Other than that, the card functions perfectly.

Also for anyone considering this upgrade, this drive is so thin it does not fill the empty space in the caddy -- this may be good for air circulation -- but I think it also results in a bit more noise when the drive is running. While 720 MB was a nice upgrade from 340 MB, I am considering maybe spending a bit more (the store will take both the 720 MB drive and the 340 MB drive in trade at 2/3 of retail price) on 1,350 MB Toshiba MK1301MAV drive. This new disk would cost me about $195.00 US -- so it seems worthwhile on the surface. On the other hand, it is not an IBM drive. Has anyone put the MK1301MAV drive in a Thinkpad 750 notebook? Do you find that the drive is remapped so DOS thinks it is dealing with a drive containing less than 1024 cylinders? If you have 1,350 MB in a notebook, what do you do for backup? I have a SCSI card which I could use to backup to DAT or 8 MM at work, but it would be nice to have my own backup system. I really wonder what everyone else with large portable hard disk does for reliable backup. Road Warrier offers a $125.00 US box which you could put another IDE disk into -- but it uses the parallel port to do data transfers. How fast is parallel port on Thinkpads? 1.3 GB backup at low speed is not workable. Does anyone make a similar SCSI to IDE/EIDE box? Also, the Road Warrier solution tries to suck power from the keyboard port -- my previous experience with this kind of arrangement was with the original black and white quick cam -- the camera never saw enough power to function -- not a good indication of the amount of power available to run an external disk drive. Could someone tell me who sells empty IBM Thinkpad 750 caddys? I don't think there is an official IBM source, but I recall an advertisement some time ago about a company which makes them. Also, there were 170 MB IBM caddys available cheap at one time -- are they all gone? Alexander J.

A year ago my personal machine was an ancient/old/aging 386DX-33/387/8MB/650MB/ET4000/WD8003e system. I ran DOS, Win3.1, OS.2 2.1, 386BSD, SCO UNIX, and WinNT (beta) on it. Most of these packages (sometimes with a little tuning ran just fine) -- WinNT ran like a dead pig (even after tuning -- but I had less than reasonable config for WinNT). Now I'm portable with a TP750Cs/486SL-33/12MB/720MB system. Disk is cheap enough I might upgrade again to 1,350MB disk. But, memory is still pretty dear, so upgrading to 20MB RAM is pretty unlikely for the moment. Mostly, I run office applications (MS Office [word, excel, powerpoint]), academic stuff (like sigmaplot, statistica, spss, sas, bmdp, bibliographic programs, oxford english dictionary), network applications (netscape, telnet, ftp), and (sequencher, rasmol, swiss prot, mfold, rna draw, dna strider), and a 68k macintosh emulator (ardi executor -- which is kinda nice because it turns my TP750Cs into a portable color macintosh -- like having two portables in one small package). Sometimes I do a bit of development or porting work (mostly trying to wedge mainframe code into small enough pieces to fit in the personal computer world). Currently I run just DOS 6.22/Win3.1. But, I think it may be nice to get back into a 32 bit enviroment to avoid the constant need to segment arrays into 64K pieces to keep the 16 bit operating system happy. OS/2 2.1 did a nice job for me almost two years ago. I wonder whether Win95, WinNT. or any other system might work as well in my limited notebook configuration? I could just go back to OS/2 for my own use. But it would be nice if other people could use my work -- and they mostly seem to be moving toward Win95. WinNT may be the recommended Win95 development environment. But, I'm afraid WinNT may require too much resource to be worthwhile. Perhaps Win95 / MS C++ 4.0 would be the best compromise for running existing programs and developing new ones. Many of the scientific packages I use are available for Win95/WinNT -- and are not practical to port to Win32s. What would you recommend? Thanks, Alexander J.

I currently swap between two disks with my 750C. First has Linux and DOS/Win3.11, and the second has Win95 (rarely used now). It's easy to run multiple OS's in separate partitions so long as it is configured properly. > A year ago my personal machine was an ancient/old/aging > 386DX-33/387/8MB/650MB/ET4000/WD8003e system.

Linux/DOS/Win3.11/Win95 are zippy (for a 486-33) due to 12MB of RAM.

The used memory market for 750's is relatively cheap. 8MB IC-DRAM's go for $50, and 16MB's can be found (if rarely) for $100. I would rather go for 12->20MB RAM than a 720->1300MB disk upgrade. > Currently I run just DOS 6.22/Win3.1.

I, being one of the more unusual laptop users, use Linux/X with my 750C almost exclusively. GCC, XEmacs, and LaTex are more than excellent substitutes for DOS/Windows equivalents for me, and I have yet to experience any kind of software or hardware failure under this configuration.

I've read many threads on running NT on 755's and 760's on this mailing list, and while it probably is possible on the 750, I would expect the performance to be completely unacceptable, even with 40MB RAM. Not to mention the lack of overall laptop support in NT. You are definitely better off with Win95. If you truly plan to do extensive development work on the road, you may want to consider buying a faster laptop. If finance prohibits you, then a 16 or even 32MB IC-DRAM upgrade might be the way to go. > What would you recommend? Regards, Dave. > > Thanks, > > Alexander J.

It went very smoothly. I was worried that some jumper settings might mess up when using the original TP drive carrier, but it plugged right in and started working fine. I partitioned into two drives using standard FAT. One drive is right below 512M so the allocation units are 8K. The other is about 700+Meg, and the allocation units are 16K. I put my base system on the 512M partition, and I use the second partition for various work and archives. When I start running into problems with wasted space from big allocation units, and when I start running out of archive room on the second partition, I will compress it. That should remove any problems with allocation units, since it will turn the disk into one big file. At least that's the theory. Sometime, I will probably upgrade to the FAT32 to solve parts of this problem. I bought one of the Road Warrior bullet cases. I put my old 540M IBM drive into it. There were some initial glitches with setting up the parallel port interface (needed to use LPT2 rather than LPT1 in setup). But now it basically works. It is very slow. I use the 540M in the Bullet as my backup system. Using MS Backup with compression, I'm able to put all my info from my 2 partitions (now totalling about 450M of useful stuff) into a full backup file of about 230M. This takes about an hour to back up using the parallel port connection. It's faster than most tape drives but still pretty excruciating. My keyboard port (and in fact just about any of the PC keyboard ports I tried) doesn't supply enough for the Bullet drive. I found other 5V supplies around to do the job. I tried a third party caddy from a company called PS Solutions, but I found it didn't hold in tight enough to the TP connector, and that caused problems. I eventually returned it. The IBM caddy has the locking wire that holds it firmly in place. Thanks Mike Redmond ------------ At 08:35 AM 12/25/96 +0000, Alexander J.

This is probably a Yay! Got it, installed it, it works great! Thank-you, thank you! I have yet to figure out how to get dos to pay attention to the modem side of the combo card i'm using - probably just a matter of reading the 3Com instructions - but anyway i was more generally concerned about getting the card services facilities before they're no longer available. (BTW, i'm not sure how meaningful it is, but i've had much easier and quicker success on the linux side of my machine getting ppp fully operational with the old (internal) tp modem, and with the new combo card, than i have with netcom's software packages, or with standard DOS facilities. While my greater familiarity with the unix side has a lot to do with that, that's balanced by the remarkable fact that the unix-side infrastructure is all freeware - redhat linux is great! - while the DOS/windows stuff is all commercial product (dos/windows, NETCOMplete, the 3Com installer, etc), intended for use by people even less dos savvy than i am...)

It seems nicer in most regards than my 755cx and the price is pretty reasonable. I think it has the same display (800x600 10.4" TFT) and keyboard, plus it has genuine Soundblaster-compatible audio hardware instead of the stupid Mwave, and it can take an internal CD-rom. Things it -doesn't- have are the Li ion battery and easily swappable hd's, but that's ok. Questions: - Can the HD be upgraded without too much hassle? I mean to put in a bigger one. I don't need to swap them in and out regularly. Can it use standard 19mm-thick HD's? - Is an external floppy included or is one available? Can the external floppy and internal CD be used as the same time without needing any software configuration? The idea is to do OS installations by booting a floppy that then reads the CD. This is a big pain with the 755cx, because you have to use an external cd with pcmcia scsi, which means you have to build the OS with pcmcia drivers etc. and you have a chicken and egg problem. (OS is Debian Linux, btw). - Does it have the same annoying 4-pin power connector or a more reasonable 2-pin coaxial plug? Thanks.

Pp-Warning: No Date field - one added at mail-c.bcc.ac.uk Date: Sat, 28 Dec 1996 18:39:24 +0000 Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu I was seriously thinking about buying a used IBM TP760EL notebook (System Serial No=9547WL4552C36N -- System Board No=1MSPT68RL1L) today from the Computer Exchange store in the center of London's high technology retail marketing area on Tottenham Court road. The listed price seemed quite reasonable -- maybe too reasonable (1,450GBP -- about $2,200 US). The system was in good condition -- P133 CPU, 800x600 TFT screen, 16MB RAM, 1GB HD, no flaws, etc. However, after reading a few stories about EasyServe withholding people's second hand notebooks when they were returned for service, I carefully asked the store staff about whether there would be any documentation which could be traced to the original purchaser. The short answer was a sort of clueless stammering -- well, no!!! They had no documentation regarding the original purchaser or the date (which would be needed for warranty service) of original purchase. Indeed, the main Computer Exchange staffer asked whether it might be legal for IBM to withhold a computer returned for repair absent any documentation for transfer of ownership other than a Computer Exchange register receipt/ticket. My response was that -- whether legal or not -- no one can afford the cost of taking IBM to court. So, in the absence of any documentation which can be traced to the original purchaser, what documentation would satisfy EasyServe that a second hand IBM thinkpad was legitimately purchased -- not stolen? What documentation would satisfy EasyServe that the unit was still within warranty and should be repaired without charge? Does IBM have an email address/phone/fax number where system serial numbers can at least be checked against their current stolen list to confirm an intended second hand purchase is copletely legitimate?

I'd like to switch back to the sys7013n revision, but i can't find a trace of it on the web - no hits from either alta vista or lycos, and it doesn't seem to be available from the places that david blank-edelman suggested in his march, 20 post to the list (http://os2.ibm.be/bbs/download/f/10D/SYS7013N.EXE or ftp://ftp.nordic.ibm.com/pub/pccc/refdiag/thinkpad/701/sys7013n.exe).

When I sent in my 755cd they didn't ask for purchase date at all. With a 3 year warrantee they could tell by the model number that there was *plenty* of time left. Date of manufacture is also stamped somewhere inside. You might get more scrutiny near the end when the time between manufacture and initial sale would be an issue (also for the low line models with 1 year warrantee). -Don Perley perley@cadence.com From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Sun Dec 29 14:31:16 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA081877876; Sun, 29 Dec 1996 14:31:16 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id OAA13354; Sun, 29 Dec 1996 14:31:06 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Sun, 29 Dec 1996 14:25:58 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id OAA12874; Sun, 29 Dec 1996 14:25:57 -0500 Received: from amber.ccs.neu.edu (root@amber.ccs.neu.edu [129.10.111.100]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id OAA12868; Sun, 29 Dec 1996 14:25:55 -0500 Received: from sinai.ccs.neu.edu (dnb@sinai.ccs.neu.edu [129.10.113.201]) by amber.ccs.neu.edu (8.8.4/8.7.3) with ESMTP id OAA09420; Sun, 29 Dec 1996 14:25:53 -0500 (EST) Received: (dnb@localhost) by sinai.ccs.neu.edu (8.8.4/8.6.4) id OAA01100; Sun, 29 Dec 1996 14:25:52 -0500 (EST) Date: Sun, 29 Dec 1996 14:25:52 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199612291925.OAA01100@sinai.ccs.neu.edu> From: "David N.

If you (or anyone else) wants to select some format for turning this disk back into a single file, I'll be glad to do that and put it up for ftp briefly. Though the offer still stands, I just want to point out that I don't believe that changing the bios made any difference in fixing my problems with suspend. I believe I sent a followup with this information to the list, but here's the summary just in case you missed it: After working with what felt like a substantial part of IBM's Thinkpad Support staff (plus MS advanced tech) about my inability to resume after suspend under win95 via APM, I finally found someone who suggested I check my Xircom ethernet card drivers. He felt they were either not 32-bit, or did not handle the post-suspend re-init properly. I was a bit skeptical that this was the problem because I experienced problems without the card in the slot. My jaw bounced off the floor when an upgrade to the latest drivers did in fact allow suspend/resume to work again. This fix didn't work 100%, but it did make APM & suspend/resume work again almost all of the time. Perhaps your problem may be bad driver related as well. BTW, I'm about to replace the Xircom PCMCIA card with something from another vendor (anyone want to trade?) because I'm revamping the machine to dual-boot with (Xircom unsupported) Linux.

I am occasionally using a TP 701C (Win95 install) with a MAG Innovision DX15F monitor. I am using what I believe to be the latest Chips&Tech. drivers (ver. 4.2.0.110 for all of the files except one, all dated 7/11/96). There is a refresh tab under the display settings with a pull-down menu that is grayed out. The check-box under that is labeled Windows default. Selecting or un-selecting this box has no effect, as the pull-down menu remains grayed out. I also selected the correct monitor .inf file under the display settings, but this doesn't help either. Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated.

I think what you will find is a weak cell in the battery pack. You can try cycling your battery but I found that pack replacement is the only real fix. I found from the NIST (National Institutes of Standards) a bunch of programs and C code fragments that can align your clock from the Government's time standards. They have dial-up as well as TCP internet clients that figure out the network loop delay (pings) and sends you time corrected info. The Windows program that I downloaded will even set your clock for you. It's supposed to be accurate to within a half a second, at the outside. Enjoy...

The hard drive can be upgraded, there are a few screws to remove and the drive lifts out. Not sure what size of HDD's will fit. The floppy & CD-ROm are useable at the same time. THe cd-rom is not removable. The power adapter has the 2-pin plug.

One of the reasons we've bought ThinkPads is the warranty and I think that this is a consideration (major or not) to many other buyers. So, what information do you have relating to warranty compliance? BTW, Dave, you can buy 32M memory modules for the 701 (from IBM at least) and they will not invalidate your warranty.
