Not sure about a concensus, but here are my observations... a) At this point, I've installed the basic OS plus the following: HyperAccess Lite, Faxworks, CIM for OS/2, System Information Tool, a few miscellaneous shareware utilities, and a 12MB swap file. Disk space used to date ~ 50MB. b) Warp's installation routine correctly sensed and installed SVGA support for my TP's WD90C24 video controller. (Things may get dicey following subsequent ROM BIOS upgrades, but that's a somewhat separate issue). The SVGA drivers appear stable and bug-free, and performance is quite good (relative to Windows equivalent). c) Support for my PCMCIA modem was installed correctly and automatically. There seems to be very little difference between the Windows and Warp versions of "Easy Play for PCMCIA". The quality of the PCMCIA implementation seems to be highly dependent upon the PCMCIA controller involved. For example, I understand that Warp doesn't support the Compaq Aero at all due to the unusual PCMCIA controller used by those machines. For anyone using a Thinkpad, however, this shouldn't even be an issue. Suspend/resume is brain damaged and will only work reliably if you disable your power-on password. IBM has told me that this problem MAY be addressed by some future BIOS upgrade, but that they do not consider it a Warp problem per se. Also, hibernation does not work in conjunction with my modem without "hot-plugging" it first. IBM has said that they are also aware of this problem, and that a BIOS patch will be required to fix this as well. (No immediate plans for doing so, however). Other than these two items, everything else functions normally with regard to PCMCIA/APM (in my experience). That's all, folks........ _________________________________________________________________ Karl E. Yeanoplos | (kyeanopl@den.mmc.com) Martin Marietta Corp. | P.O.

I recently purchased a refurbished NEC 3xp CDROM drive from JEM Computers in Cambridge, MA (617)497-2500 for $199 and a NEC parallel to SCSI adapter (Trantor T338 compatible) for $49. I am very happy with the drive so far. The drive is a triple speed drive. The parallel to SCSI adapter, however is only capable of 75 KB/sec read and 150KB/sec write. I will probably end up purchasing a PCMCIA SCSI card at some point, but I wanted to be able to use my drive for data and software install while I am deciding on which PCMCIA card. The drive came with AC adapter, and headphones. the parallel to SCSI adapter came with a driver disk. Installation was simple and I had the drive up and running in less than ten minutes. I have no connection with NEC or with JEM. I just wanted to share my purchase experience with those that might be looking at purchasing a CDROM for there conputer.

He weighed in at 6 lbs, 14 oz. and measured 19 inches in length. His hairline looks something like his grandfather's. ;) Mom looks surprisingly slender--that pregnant gut was all baby and nothing else! All the nurses were jealous. His mother spent 18 hours in labor, but one part of her body just wouldn't cooperate, and her cervix refused to dilate beyond 3 or 4 cm, even with some help from pitosin to increase the strength of contractions. MacLean decided he had had enough of pushing his head into a 3 cm hole in a wall, and signaled it was time to come out by other means when his heart rate dropped dramatically. So a little "slice and dice" was in order. Baby is healthy and Mother is ecstatic, but sore. ;) Daddy is trying to still meet early grad school application deadlines despite the excitment. Thus dawns the arrival of our first "little whittle". ----- ________________________________ Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu | Some guy hit my fender the | USC School of Business (Fight on, 'SC Trojans!)|other day, and I said unto him| (My opinions are mine, but since I'm | "Be fruitful and multiply." | right, they should be yours too.) | --but not in those words. | -------------------------------- From ???@???

I'll wait for that. I highly recommend you check out Zipstream on ftp-os2.cdrom.com as the file /pub/os2/32bit/diskutil/zs102b.zip. It's operating premise is more secure than Stacker's - each file is compressed and saved separately, meaning a bad sector can only take one file, not your entire file system. The compression is better - it comes within 1% of the latest version of PKZip by my tests (Stacker will compress better if you've got thousands of files < 512bytes and you're using FAT instead of HPFS) It's faster - it's threaded so all compression takes place in the background. No more waiting for your command prompt to reappear while the compression software does its job. It's cheaper - it's shareware at about $45US. It supports HPFS, it's here now. The only minus I can think of is that there's no DOS equivalent so any compressed files are accessible only from OS/2. Also, it seems to slow down if you have lots of files in one directory (I don't think it's much more than Stacker, but it's been so long since I used Stacker that I can't tell). Can you tell I like it? :-) > In the mean time I keep thinking: why did not IMB include a > diskcompression programm with Warp? 1) They're unable to comprehend customers' desires, 2) They wanted to encourange other companies to write such file systems - OS/2 is designed to handle multiple file systems, you just programmers to write an appropriate IFS (installable file system). You can pick the conjunction: 'and' or 'or' Make sure you backup regularly when using any sort of compression program. _____________________________________________________________________ |\_____________________________________________________________________\ | | | | | John H.

I have two reasons for this. 1) I frequently share my modem with a co-worker. 2) I find it much easier to remove the modem to ensure zero battery consumption from the devices. This makes the hibernation-problem non existant, I simply plug it back in when I need it.

I personally > won't use compression programs until they do NOT come with caveats of > this kind! Because compressed data is much less recoverable than uncompressed data. Say you have an important financial spreadsheet. Say, through no fault of the compression program, one of the sectors on your hard disk goes bad. Say part of that spreadsheet is on that sector. It is possible with a program like PCTools or Norton to recover all of that file except the section on the bad sector. Not bad if the file is ~100k like most spreadsheets seem to be. Say the file was compressed. You could recover all the data up to the bad sector, but afterwards the decompression program wouldn't know what to do because of the missing sector. You can only recover half the file on average. If the file was ~100k, would you want to reconstruct the missing 50k? This problem can be worse if the compression program saves everything in one big compressed file. You should be backing up your data anyway. _____________________________________________________________________ |\_____________________________________________________________________\ | | | | | John H.

IBM is aware of the problem, and has stated that a BIOS patch is most likely needed to correct it. If so inclined, you can call the OS/2 support line at 800-992-4777 and refer to PMR# 0X827,PSG. This PMR# was issued about 3 weeks ago relative to various Thinkpad Warp/APM problems. The last I heard, this was not a very high priority item, as the aforementioned workaround does provide for a temporary fix. > ibm warp and ibm thinkpads can't even work together. This is somewhat disappointing, but on the whole I'm pretty happy with Warp in spite of these various annoyances.

Dunaway * EMC.Ver #2.10P ] -- I noticed that the IBM PC BBS has now has version 1.33 ThinkPad video drivers. I used version 1.32 under OS/2 2.1 and found them to be painfully slow, if bug-free and stable. I am quite happy with the speed of the new drivers that came with Warp. Unfortunately, as is documented, there is corruption on the monochrome LCD screen of my TP750 when using seamless Windows. There are other bugs in that driver, also. Has anyone installed version 1.33 under OS/2 yet? Is the speed better? Has anyone found a way to solve Warp's problems with monochrome screens? IBM OS/2 support says that the problem will have to be addressed by the ThinkPad people. I will probably try the ThinkPad drivers and post the results of their performance here soon, but I thought I would query the group first to see if anyone else had done this. By the way, updating the BIOS to level 1.15 has not solved the problem of video corruption on the monochrome LCD under Warp. From ???@???

Removing the sound support is a lousy solution. I've called IBM tech support several times and requested that they release the "new" audio drivers that were supposed to be available in September which supposedly fix this problem.

I used to get constant "out of memory" errors until I did >this, now I haven't seen one for months. > I used to get lots of "out of memory" errors as well with Win 3.1 on my Thinkpad. But not any more! AND, I still have the Thinkpad audio drivers loaded (as well as a ton of other junk) !!!! How did I do it? I am using a small shareware utility called "MoreMem". It works great. I got it via anonymous ftp to ftp.cica.indiana.edu in the win3/utils directory (moremem.zip, or something almost identical to that). I liked it so much I even registered it (the author is asking $10; more than worth it to me!!). Basically, the reason folks get "out of memory" errors is because they have run out of memory below 1meg. Every time you fire up a program in windows, windows needs to alloc a PSP in <1meg memory. A PSP takes about 400 bytes. If you are out of mem below 1meg, windows claims "out of memory" even if you have tons of >1meg RAM and resources left. besides drivers, any windows program which allocates "static", or non-relocateable memory, Windows gives it memory starting from the lowest address and grows upward. This means that lots of your precious below 1meg memory space is being used by windows programs/drivers which really do not care about getting memory below 1meg, they just don't want it swapped out.... When you put MoreMem in your windows startup folder, it immediately grabs memory from below 1meg and "reserves" it specifically for Windows PSPs. (PSP = program segment prefix). since it is in your startup folder, it can usually grab up a good sized chunk of memory below 1meg cuz other windows apps have not yet chewed it up with non-relocating alloc calls to windows. I am running my Thinkpad 750C with Windows 3.1 with all ibm audio drivers, ibm ezplay pcmcia drivers, ethernet, supertcp for windows with NFS/etc, Novell DOS drivers, and a bunch of other crap. I can set MoreMEM to reserve about 32 PSPs (which means I can run about 30 Windows programs simultaneously before seeing the stupid "out of memory error"). It works. I now routinely run 15-20 windows programs at once (i have 12 meg RAM). I could never do this before Moremem (usually would get about 5 programs max before MoreMem). I am in no way associated with MoreMem other than a happy user. :^). p.s. I called up the author of MoreMem, and we brainstormed converting Moremem from a vanilla windows program into a windows .386 driver. This means Moremem could do its magic even before other .386 drivers (like the ibm audio crap) loaded. On my system, this would allow me to run over 100 Windows programs at once (assuming i did not run out of RAM or windows gdi resources before that!). However, with the current program I can run over 30 programs at once, and that is certainly good enough for now... Like I said, i got my copy via anonymous ftp to ftp.cica.indiana.edu. The shareware version nags you by forcing you to type in a passcode every time you start up windows. The registered version does not nag.

I triumphantly went to one of my associates to let him know that I had the solution and noticed he had a music CD running on his 750ce with several applications running at the same time! The true solution, which I have installed and am running quite happily with, is to upgrade to audio drivers 1.31 and apply a patch replacing the IBMMME.DRV with a new version that comes named IBMMME5.DRV. With the new drivers (and patch), I have been able to simultaneously run Word for Windows, Excel, electronic mail, and a couple of other applications. It's great!!!! I've hesitated mentioning this to the group because I don't yet know how this is made available to the general public. I believe we got this through some type of corporate account.

The Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) uses digital technology for simultaneous transmission of voice, data, and images through standard interfaces over a single telephone line served by digital switches. The Basic Rate ISDN (BRI) provides two B channels for transmission of digitized voice or data at speeds up to 64 kilobits per second (Kbps) per B channel (without compression), and a D channel for transmission of signalling information at 16 Kbps. The IBM WaveRunner PCMCIA ISDN or Analog Modem is an adapter that provides ISDN Basic Rate and standard telephone line connectivity to laptop, notebook, and other personal computers with PCMCIA Type II adapter slots. The first unique feature of the adapter is its ability to communicate through ISDN with devices such as modems and fax machines attached to an existing analog telephone line. This functionality allows end users to have a mix of devices distributed over ISDN and analog lines, while maintaining the ability to communicate from devices attached to an ISDN line with those on an analog line. The second unique feature of this adapter is the ability to connect to ISDN and standard telephone services by switching adapter cables. Thus, the mobile user can connect to whatever type of telephone service is being offered at different locations (for example, branch office, home, airport, hotel, and so on). The adapter also supports many existing, widely used modem application programs at speeds up to 64 Kbps over ISDN, and up to 14.4 Kbps (without using compression) on analog modems. The two ISDN B channels may be bonded together, achieving 128 Kbps transmission data rates using the NDIS interface. In addition, the analog modem support can be enhanced with a free V.34 (28.8 Kbps) software upgrade available June 30, 1995. Functions The functions supported under a Windows 3.1 environment are: o Flexible dual-function ISDN or standard telephone service connection. o Free V.34 (28.8 Kbps) software upgrade. o S/T ISDN Basic Rate Interface, 2B + D. - Speeds up to 64 Kbps on a single B channel, and a D channel at 16 Kbps. - Passive bus. o Communication Port Type I and Type II serial port emulation. - Permits use of existing PC modem communications software. o Modem emulation. - Permits PCs attached to ISDN to communicate with devices such as PCs and fax machines attached to existing analog telephone networks. - Data compression. -- Provides 2:1 compression for a significant increase in throughput by using MNP 4/5 data compression on modems. -- Provides 4:1 compression for a significant increase in throughput by using V.42/V.42bis data compression on modems. o Fax emulation. - Enables PCs to exchange standard Group 3 facsimile data with fax machines connected to an existing analog telephone network, when using the fax application program shipped with the adapter or other class 2 fax applications running under Windows 3.1. o Hayes** AT command set. - "AT" command sequences are accepted and executed. o Remote LAN access. - When used with the IBM LAN Distance set of software products (or similar software), allows a stand-alone workstation to access a remote LAN for all available LAN services. o TCP/IP applications. - With the TCP/IP Protocol Stack installed, a wide range of TCP/IP applications will be supported via: -- RFC 1294 over ISDN. -- Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP). -- IP packets over ISDN. o Rate adaptation. - Allows V.120 encapsulation of async data. - Permits interoperability with ISDN/async terminal adapters. o WinISDN API for Microsoft Windows. - This is an application programming interface (API) for the Microsoft Windows environment that provides access to the Internet when the WaveRunner PCMCIA is used in conjunction with Internet Chameleon**, a software product from NetManage**, Inc. This API also extends the interoperability of WaveRunner PCMCIA with other ISDN products, such as MAX Digital Access Server from Ascend** Communications, Inc., that support Point to Point Protocol (PPP). o Data compression -- V.42bis over V.120. - Provides up to 4:1 compression resulting in an effective data rate of up to 256 Kbps, using V.42bis over V.120, at 64 Kbps. o CAPI. - Common Application Programming Interface (CAPI) Version 1.1. This permits the use of ISDN application programs written for CAPI. o NDIS. - NDIS is a widely used API that conforms to the Network Driver Interface Specifications. NDIS provides a high-speed interface for many applications written for this API. - The two B channels, when used in packet level bonding mode, provide an aggregate data rate of 128 Kbps for IP packets. Note: The planned availability date for CAPI, WinISDN, and V.42bis over V.120 is April 28, 1995. Planned availability for V.34 is June 30, 1995. The following non-IBM programs are shipped with the adapter as a convenience to our customers: o Fax Application for Windows. When used in conjunction with this application program running under Windows 3.1, the adapter allows a personal computer to send or receive Group 3 faxes. Thus, customers can take immediate advantage of the adapter's fax capability. o Communication Port Accelerator. A set of communication drivers for Microsoft Windows that improves throughput, for high-speed data transfers. Examples of PC modem communications programs supported by the adapter are: o PROCOMM PLUS** o Crosstalk** o DynaComm** o Smartcomm** o QModem** o Windows Terminal+ o HCL-eXceed/W** o PC Anywhere** o Chameleon + Windows Terminal is one of the operational modes of Microsoft Windows 3.1. Cost Advantage With the increased speed due to ISDN, the end users can take advantage of these services for: o Lower cost per bit of data transmitted o Increased user productivity by reducing the time required to send and receive data, graphics, and video Quality Improvements The IBM WaveRunner PCMCIA ISDN or Analog Modem provides connectivity to ISDN services, which use digital technology. This method of transmission has been proven over time to be highly reliable and superior in quality to other transmission methods. Connectivity and Integration As customers migrate part of their networks to ISDN, the IBM WaveRunner PCMCIA ISDN or Analog Modem offers connectivity for ISDN devices to communicate with those on an existing telephone network, thus enabling customers to gradually grow their networks to the desired environment to meet their business needs. Access to Enterprise Data The adapter provides ISDN and analog connectivity to stand-alone workstations for communications with other remote devices on an establishment/enterprise network which may be either an ISDN or an existing analog telephone network. In this way, the stand-alone workstations can access establishment/enterprise data. In addition, the adapter, in conjunction with the IBM LAN Distance products, provides remote LAN access. Thus, the stand-alone workstation can have access to all available LAN services and enterprise data remotely. Upgradeability The adapter's functionality can be enhanced via new software upgrades as they become available. This ability protects customers' investments. Interoperability The IBM WaveRunner PCMCIA ISDN or Analog Modem has been tested for interoperability with other ISDN products such as Network Express Interhub and Combinet CB 150. The WinISDN API on the IBM WaveRunner PCMCIA ISDN or Analog Modem will further extend its interoperability to include other ISDN products, such as MAX Digital Access Server from Ascend Communications, Inc., that support Point to Point Protocol (PPP). In addition, the IBM WaveRunner PCMCIA ISDN or Analog Modem interoperates with the IBM ISDN Primary Rate Adapter to provide a connectivity solution for both the ISDN Primary Rate and Basic Rate Interfaces for applications such as remote LAN access.

Sorry, Wesley - I don't have an answer for this specific problem, but.. > IBM OS/2 support says that the problem will have to be addressed by the ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > ThinkPad people. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You might give the Compu$erve Thinkpad forum a try. I've had better support from Mike Anderson (forum leader) than from either of the two options mentioned above. In my opinion, IBM has a real problem with their technical support as regards Thinkpads and OS/2. I too have been stuck in the endless loop described above whereby the OS/2 people claim it's a Thinkpad problem, and the Thinkpad people claim it's an OS/2 problem. Where I work there's a saying that goes "If you see a problem, you own it". Corny as it may be, the underlying principle is one that IBM seems unable to understand. In any event, Mike's Compuserve ID is 72662,1116. If the event you don't have a Compuserve account ( I noticed the word "Prodigy" in your e-mail address, and who can afford to subscribe to BOTH services?), I'll look around for a solution and post if successful. Good luck... _________________________________________________________________ Karl E. Yeanoplos | (kyeanopl@den.mmc.com) Martin Marietta Corp. | P.O.

The contact at IBM that told me about the ftp.pcco.ibm.com site is Mike (never got a last name), mlaye@vnet.ibm.com. You probably should include him in any questions about distribution. If the file is on the PC BBS, it shouldn't be a problem to put it on ftp.pcco.ibm.com since the two are supposed to be identical, but Mike may have to handle the actual file transfer. Also, he seemed to be interested in how useful the ftp site was. If it isn't echoing the PC BBS that well, perhaps it'll improve if enough people tell him they're using it and they want updates. _____________________________________________________________________ |\_____________________________________________________________________\ | | | | | John H.

I certainly don't expect any problems since its my understanding that the XGA-II card acts as a bus master and will process the video correctly. If you look in advanced setup, there is an option to display internal mono and external colour collectively or separately. Anyway, fingers crossed - 1024 x 768 here we come!! The dock forms the basis of quite a punchy little system - the 720 has 16MB and I've installed a 1GB Spitfire in the dock, so backups of the C drive are not an issue any more!! (phew, I was always concerned about that). This more or less negates looking for a larger drive for the ThinkPad itself - in practical terms you are stuffed since the 700/720 drives are ESDI, and only Big Blue Japan made them, although there is/was a dealer-fit option for a 240MB drive. I can dig out the part numbers if anyone is interested. I managed to get hold of the tech publications for the 3550 dock - details below - so if you (or anyone else) needs part numbers, pinouts, etc., let me know. I still waiting for the tech ref pubs for the 720 itself, hopefully arriving by the end of next week.

Especially interested in PCMCIA device > compatibility, resolution on external monitors, and installation medium > (network CD? big stack of floppies?). Okay, here's the scoop (or at least from my experience). Overall, I'm quite pleased. There are still bugs, but for my work it's more reliable than win3.1, so I'm glad to have it. If you can get hold of it, and are using windows 3.1 now, you'll probably be glad you did. If you're using os/2, you probably won't be impressed. I have 12 megs, and it's pretty smooth, but I'm considering taking the plunge on one of those weird 32meg thingies. Even though the memory management seems pretty decent, I end up loading up a lot of stuff, often including photoshop (big hog). MOUSE - I tried for a while with the internal mouse driver, but there must be a bug in it, my mouse was going painfully slow (and with a trackpoint, that's real pain) and the speed settings didn't effect it. I stumbled on the solution of loading the dos mouse.com, and it zips along fine now, with the only downside being that when the system is loaded, the mouse slows down and gets a bit jerky. PCMCIA - I only use one, a MHZ xjack, and it was a bit of a hassle. I first installed chicago over my existing dos/windows setup, and it kept all the drivers intact. Eventually I had to remove the drivers manually and reinstall, then go into the new "add new equip" control panel and add the generic pcmcia manager, and it works just fine now. There are other tp'ers in the beta, and I've heard that network cards are working too. Monitors - I have a 755cs, and I haven't tried driving an external at higher res, but there is a hardware profile setting, just for that purpose. You can create a hardware profile for a standalone or a docked setup, and switch between them. I'll try it later and report. Installation - not too bad, I don't have a scsi card (I'll take this moment to grumble at that, I think it ought to be built in) but I do have a parallel port tape drive for my thinkpad, so I copied the 20 meg of installation dir from the cd to a tape and then restored it to my thinkpad. This solution ended up being pretty nice, since I ended up reinstalling a few times, and could do it straight from my harddrive without any fuss. I did have a nasty time of the actual install, had to play with disabling and enabling drivers. Now that it's up and running, I am working pretty problem-free. -- ____________________________________________________________________________ jesse montrose jesse@spine.com jesse@xaostools.com jesse@hooked.net i don't recycle. i'm a consumer, damn it, i consume.

The TP75x uses 17mm high drives. Most of the 2.5" drives out there are 19mm. There are a couple that are 14mm (none over ~340MB last I heard), and many of the subnotebooks use 12.5mm drives. You may want to buy an IBM OEM drive. It's the same thing as the TP drive only without the plastic case. Costs about half what IBM charges. I'm sure someone has the info on Micro Machines or Sigma Data(?). You will need a flash BIOS update to use drives >500MB on the 750. > Can we use any Intel upgrade chip to bring this CPU up.

I'm thinking about buying one, but most of the drive resellers don't advertise 2.5 drives in their Computer Shopper ads and I don't want to have to make 10 phone calls to shop prices.

A set of "Laplink cables" will include one of these and a 2x1 serial cable (DB9 and DB25 on one end, DB9 on the other) for about $20. Alternatively, generic laplink cables sometimes come as 2x2 so you can also transfer easily between two desktops and should cost something under $10. Having both can be useful if you'd like to have something which doesn't occupy the printer port on your desktop machine and that you can leave attached most of the time, with the option of using the printer port when you're transferring in volume.

It looks cheaper, faster, and less power drain than Megahertz's XJACK gold card. I'm also wondering if the PC144T2 has that "bad-line" sensor so that it would beep or tell the user that the card is connected to a digital phoneline, like the XJACK gold. And has someone tried New Media's Sound/SCSI combo card? thanks, john. From ???@???

The TP750, 750CS and 750C all use the Intel 486SL/33 CPU which has been discontinued. Even if it were socketed, I doubt a 486DX would fit in its place - the SL has some functions built into it that are missing on the DX/SX. The 750CE uses a 486DX2. As does the 755 series. But the 750CE is an earlier incarnation of the 755 (and predates the DX4), so I'm not sure the CPU is socketed. The 755 series *is* socketed. At least that's what I was told when I asked IBM soon after it was introduced. _____________________________________________________________________ |\_____________________________________________________________________\ | | | | | John H.

I purchased the DX4-75 which were rare at the time. I was originally approached by IBM to purchase the DX4-50 laptop, and they would just replace the chip with a DX4-75. This implied to me that the chip is socketed, and that the motherboard somehow autosenses which chip is socketed.

Is anyone else having problems with suspend (or even sleep) under Windows?? I can get it to beep (kind of an errorish buzz) when I hit the Fn-F4 combo, but that's about it. I even tried booting without my PCMCIA cards (I usually keep an Mhz modem and an IBM Ethernet card in there....easiest way to avoid losing them!)....then I could get it to flash its suspend light, but nothing more. This used to work a while back.....have there been problems? I'm using the latest (I think) BIOS and utilities from the FTP site, including EZplay for the PCMCIA stuff.

I didn't disassemble the individual circuit boards, but I did take it apart far enough to convince myself that the 360 CPU is not socketed. I'd be surprised if the 755 processors are, either, unless their internal design is significantly different than the 360 -- there just doesn't appear to be enough space for a socket (at least, not unless low profile sockets exist). BTW, Wes reported that the processor on his 750 is also surface mount soldered. Finally, to tie this in to an earlier thread, I did this exploratory surgery while washing a load of diapers.

Therefore these drives have the exact same specifications as the original IBM drives. IBM fully supports these drives, including maintaining them under the terms of the ThinkPad warranty. Since they are the OEM manufacturer, the drives come in the same case, same connector, etc. The only difference is that there is a Sigma Data label on the case... Here are the part numbers: Capacity IBM Part Number Sigma Data Part Number 340M 66G2849 QED/TP750-340 540M 84G2150 QED/TP750-540 810M 84G8250 QED/TP750-810 Sigma Data 17 Newport Road New London, NH 03257-4567 (800) 446-4525 (603) 526-6909 Hope this helps.

I believe that has been the problem with OS/2's PCMCIA support all along. If it's the same problem I think it is, it may be a while yet before we see an elegant solution. In other news, I saw an interesting beast in the Tiger ad today -- an external CD-ROM called the Gator CD. It's supposed to plug into either a parllel port or SCSI port and works with DOS/Win, Macs, and OS/2 (they even said it was the only parallel port CD-ROM that had drivers rearing to go). Additionally, it adds a SCSI board, in essence, to your system. Apparently, it has an Adaptec SCSI board built in which allows you to daisy chain SCSI devices to it, even if you are using the parallel port. Interesting. >Go visit comp.os.os2.setup.

If it's just a new rubber head I presume we can use it on our current Thinkpads? I don't think they'd be stupid enough to make the mount a different shape/size, but with IBM you never know.

Pacific Bell is rumored to announce IP/ISDN over sync PPP in Jan. Price is TBD. You can check out the offerings at http://www.pacbell.com Don't forget that the other end, ie the service provider, is the killer here. Most IP/Internet providers want ~$150/mo, luckily there are a few lower cost ones around. Gentle flame: Too bad the Wave Runner is just an ISDN Terminal Adapter (T/A) though, the thought of all that nice synchronous bandwidth accessible only as an async terminal connection is a drag.The thought of doing Hayes AT-DT async modem command sets over a digital link, sigh... Where are the NDIS3 PPP drivers so that one can use the thing as an IP or IPX forwarder, over Sync PPP, which most others (Ascend/Combinet/Digiboard etc) support ? Are they shipping, today ? Using ISDN *only* for T/A's is silly, it hides all the nice things about ISDN and turns it into a slightly faster analog phone line equivalent for Procomm. I want my machine to be *ON* the remote network, exchanging network layer traffic, not dialed in to some weird ISDN modem gateway doober somewhere. Gentle Flame off. I've tried an Ascend Pipeline-50, it's a router and MAC bridge (brouter) in one. Discounted price with internal NT-1 $ 1000. One box services an entire local net. Works great for remote offices, telecommuters etc. Can bond both B channels for 112 Kb service, as Pac Bell only offers 56Kb/B channel intra-LATA. With an external NT-1 and the Ascend, one can have an ISDN phone on one B Channel too. I don't work for Ascend. Credit where credit is due though, IBM did do a nice job in cramming the DSP for an analog modem and the ISDN stuff on to one. now if they put Ascend type functionality in that PCMCIA card...

I thought the Gator was a CDROM that would work with either parallel or SCSI, so you could "step up" to SCSI later. From ???@???

It seems to work OK upon initial system start, but during the normal course of things it just quits working. I haven't been able to pin it down to any particular sequence of events, as it's not always immediately apparent when it stops working. Maybe "Meteor cursor" would be more appropriate, as I believe the lifespan of your typical comet is something in excess of 5 or 10 minutes ;) _________________________________________________________________ Karl E.

Appreciate it, I'll make sure I put the info on the Thinkpad Page. However, I was talking about JUST the 2.5 drive, w/o the goofball connector and case. Even straight from Sigma, those cases add ~$300 to the price of the thing. I'd rather just open the case and swap out the 170M I have now - It's not really of any use to me once I have a bigger case anyways, except for maybe installing Unix..... So any OEM 2.5 drive >400M and with a thickness of 17mm is what I'm looking for. Anyone who knows a source please post it. I'm sorry for not making myself clear. From ???@???

Sorry, I inadvertently added to this confusion by talking about the 750's having socketed CPU's. The 755's have socketed CPU's and come in two incarnations: a 50Mhz version and a 75Mhz version. The 50's are actively advertised as upgradable to 75's. I was told by IBM that they were using a bizarre version of the DX4 which came in a 50Mhz version, but this is probably wrong since a clock tripler would require a 16.667 Mhz system bus to generate 50Mhz. On the other hand, Gary Udstrand seems to think that the 50Mhz version uses a DX2 -- which would explain the ability to upgrade: you still have a 25Mhz system bus. The only problem with this theory is that the DX2 is a 5 volt chip, the DX4's are 3.3 volt chips... To add more confusion to the subject, someone (sorry, I lost the e-mail) mentioned that the chip itself is not socketed, but there is a daughterboard that is socketed. Now this would explain a DX4-50, since a daughterboard would imply that you have a seprate oscillator as well. Does anyone have the technical specs on their 755x-50???? BTW, John Kim correctly noted that the 750's have an IBM proprietary chip called the 486SLC running at 33Mhz. This chip contains a math co-processor and should _not_ be confused with the Intel 486SL chip which does _not_ have a math coprocessor. From ???@???

The IBM 486SLC is a knock-off that has a bigger cache and NO FPU. I think IBM's agreement with Intel prevented them from producing their own DX chips and this was the compromise.The Intel 486SL is really a DX with added power management and thus does have an FPU. The 750's have a 486SL, not a 486SLC. That I'm sure of. --Bruce From ???@???

Current new price from places that give lifetime guar. is ~$170. _I_ personally wouldn't shell more than $120 w/o the promise of lifetime exchanges.... I dunno where you can sell them, less some people her want them. With 4M standard, another 4M for the pad is just (IMHO) not sufficient, since you can only have one card in place.

Anyone? Let's see if I can kill all these birds with one post. IBM 486SLC: used in the TP500, 700, and 720. Comes in "normal" and clock-doubled versions. The 500 and 720 use the clock doubled versions. 24-bit memory bus (16MB max), 16-bit data bus, 32-bit internal, no FPU, 16k cache. IBM 486BL: aka "Blue Lightning." Used in the TP510 and maybe the TP425. Comes in "normal" and clock-doubled/tripled versions. 32-bit memory bus (4GB max), 32-bit data bus, 32-bit internal, no FPU, 16k cache. Before you ask, the TP425 is like a TP350, only it's sold at schools. Intel 486SL: discontinued, used in the TP750, only came in 25MHz and 33MHz flavors. 32-bit memory bus, 32-bit data bus, 32-bit internal, with FPU (except a version used in the TP350), 8k cache, on-board power management and motherboard features. Intel 486DX, DX2: The standard, used in TP755 and TP360 (? SX version). 32-bit memory bus, 32-bit data bus, 32-bit internal, with FPU, 8k cache. Intel 486DX4: Clock tripled, 32-bit memory bus, 32-bit data bus, 32-bit internal, with FPU, _16k_ cache. Costs more than a TP500. :-) TP755 only. > ________________________________ Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu > | Y'know, Tuna just | USC School of Business (Fight on, 'SC > | doesn't taste the same | (My opinions are mine, but > | since they took the | right, they should > | Dolphin out! | > -------------------------------- You should try Dolphin sometime.

X-Mailer: >If anyone has successfully installed NT (any version) on their ThinkPad >755c???? Apparently Microsoft has, as the 75x machines are on the official Hardware Compatibility List (at least for 3.5), which only includes gear that MS testers have actually tried out. Caveats: 1. No built-in PCMCIA support. And as far as I know, none of the card manufacturers is shipping NT add-in drivers yet, either. 2. Best available video resolution is 640x480x16, on both the LCD screen and external monitors. 3. Possible problems addressing Extended IDE hardrive space > 520 Megs. I'm not certain whether this applies to the large TP drives, but it is known that not all EIDE drives are 100% compatible with NT. As for what you can do to get 3.1 to install, my best advice is to run out and buy the upgrade. 3.5 has a much improved auto-installer, and runs a good deal faster in half as much RAM. A real solid product, I have it on my desktop machine now, too bad the above deficiencies make it a non-contender (for my needs anyway) as a notebook OS. Any further word from Windows 95 beta testers (I know there's at least one of you) on how it fares on a ThinkPad?

Probably not. The Pentium has a wider address space, even though it breaks all address and data accesses into 32-bit chunks internally.

Gary, Could you look on the daughtercard and see if there is a voltage regulator? As I mentioned earlier, the DX2 is a 5 volt chip, the DX4 is a 3.3 volt chip.

The Pentium has the same 32-bit address and data bus internal to the chip as the 486 series. The wider addressing modes are synthesized by a decoder unit which breaks memory transactions into 32-bit units. The agressive write-through cache subsystem in the Pentium is severely hampered on systems such as laptops which don't have L2 caches (SRAM sucks almost as much power as a Pentium chip). | Robert George | Army Research Laboratory | | robertg@assb01.arl.mil | AMSRL-SS-IC | | Voice: (408) 656-3316 | 2800 Powder Mill Road | | Fax: (408) 656-2814 | Adelphi, MD 20783-1197 | A designer knows when he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. -- Antoine de Saint-Exupery From ???@???

If you guys REALLY want to know whether the 755 is socketed or comes with a daughterboard (I would think the eyewitness account of one of our members saying it's a daughterboard would be enough), I can ask Ken. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Surprise surprise. Not only can we go up to 36 MB, we can do it without voiding our warranty, and we can do it NOW. :) I haven't been keeping track, but I think the TP755 was just announced (which is why Ken could answer some of our questions on it).

As you mentioned, some of your questions just couldn't be answered until today :) and the week before last was a national holiday week (Golden Week) in Japan. Re harddisk power requirement: I am afraid there is no clear-cut answer to this. It all would depend on what the rest of the system might be doing when the harddisk draws peak power... There are multiple fuses in the power subsystem for safety's sake, some of which apply to individual voltage levels such as 3.3V and 5V. The harddisk uses 5V, whereas the panel is directly driven by battery, so I am afraid it won't matter whether you have a mono or a color. Re the plastic housing: I was told that we don't offer it as a separate option precisely because we can't be responsible for any subsequent damage. Sorry. Re the 540MB and 810MB harddisk option: I understand the 750 line will require a Flash BIOS update to support these sizes properly but yes, they do work with the 750 line. You may want to note however that some disk drivers that directly manipulate hardware (like Microsoft Windows for Workgroups' 32 bit FASTDISK driver) may not run on them or see only the first 528MB. Re motherboard upgrade for the 750 line: I am afraid I am not aware of any announcements regarding upgrade to the 755 line or equivalent. I understand it will cost quite a lot because all the boards will have to be swapped (not to mention mechanical changes like improved heat sink). I sure wish Intel offered a clock-doubled 486SL... Re the 20MB memory 'limit': it's just that at the time the 750 was announced, no manufacturers were making 32MB IC DRAM cards. Actually the 750 is designed to take up to 36MB (32MB card + 4MB planar); right now there is a ThinkPad Proven vendor called Apricorn who offers one that works with the 750. You may want to call IBM Direct for details. I hope this answers your questions...

I didn't realize OS/2 would be wanting a 20meg swap file, and would take over 30 megs if given its way. Needless to say, I am still only moderatly happy with the whole process, but remain optimistic that we will see more native OS/2 software, and hence more enhancements. Someone posted a Stacker-like program for OS/2 which took advantage of 32bit performance....I looked and wound up installing Zipstream, which can't be correct. Could I get the name of that file again, as it appears on the OS/2 Shareware BBS? Thanks, Hal From ???@???

Supposedly IBM and Lotus made a deal - IBM would give up their rights to Lotus Notes (something about IBM owning a part of that) if Lotus would make sure equivalent OS/2 versions of the Smartsuite apps would appear within 3 months of new Windows versions. As there haven't been any new Windows versions recently... Also, the reports about Works slowing down Warp apply if you've *ever* installed Works. Deleting Works is not enough. You have to reformat, or deregister the Works objects. > Someone posted a Stacker-like program for OS/2 which took advantage of > 32bit performance....I looked and wound up installing Zipstream, which > can't be correct. Could I get the name of that file again, as it appears That's the right file. Are you sure you're using it correctly? I asked the authors if there's a way to make it compress OS/2's system files but they haven't answered. _____________________________________________________________________ |\_____________________________________________________________________\ | | | | | John H.

I told it to mirror my D: (OS/2 HPFS) drive with H:, like in the instructions. But it seems to indicate you have to tell it what files to compress, like simlply zipping them. What I did was type ZSPACK D:\software\FLG, which is my Lotus Freelane directory. After that, I was under the impression the files would program like normal, but they didn't. Did I do something wrong? Also, John, I think I may have come off as an OS/2 basher, or perhaps that's the way you interprted me, but I am not....I really like the product, and was VERY impressed with the way it identified and cooperated with my hardware. I'm not going back to DOS/WIN, just looking forward to moving ahead with OS/2. I use a Colorado Trakker 250, and have not tried to back up since the install. Anyone else using such a device with OS/2 on a thinkpad USING the HPFS?

The swapfile will shrink on its own, *very* slowly. The idea is that if you needed all that swap space recently, you'll probably need it again. I take it you have the swapfile in the same partition as all your data and this behavior is irritating? There are config.sys parameters to control the initial size of the swapper, and how much space it should leave free. Type "help swappath" from a command prompt. Unfortunately, there isn't a parameter to control the maximum size - you'll just have to set the free space parameter very high. > Also, do you just use suspend mode, or are you > going into hibernation (Which I never use).... I have just been booting > up only once a day, and turning off at night. Yes, I use the suspend mode if I'm taking the computer someplace unplugged. Otherwise I just leave it. The backlight turns off when I close the lid (or if it's been sitting idle for a few minutes), and I've set the hard drive to spin down after a few minutes. >> That's the right file.

After that, I was under the impression the > files would program like normal, but they didn't. Did I do something > wrong? Yeah. The docs aren't very well organized. It can't compress entire directories at once right now. You *can* compress using wildcards. But the easiest way is just to copy the stuff to the h: drive. After you've attached a Zipstream drive (h: in your case), you can use it just like any other drive. The original files are stored on d: in raw format - either compressed or uncompressed. If you try to view/run a compressed file on your d: drive, it'll look/act like garbage. But if you go to the mirror h: drive and look at the same file, zipstream will decompress it for you on the fly. (uncompressed files look the same on the d: and h: drives) You can compress files directly on the d: drive with ZSPACK, or you can copy it to the h: drive, which will compress it automatically (you'll hear your hard drive at work long after the copy command is "finished"). It'll make a compressed version of your file on your d: drive so you can delete the original. The nice thing about being able to pick and choose which files to compress is that if you're finding a particular file takes too long to decompress, you can just leave it uncompressed. You'll have to redirect any drive letters the program uses from d: to h: though. You can also do some thoughtful drive organization with the ZSATTACH program. I use f: for ftp stuff, g: for programs, and h: for data. All these drives are actually directories on my D: drive. > I use a Colorado Trakker 250, and have not tried to back up since the > install. Anyone else using such a device with OS/2 on a thinkpad USING > the HPFS? I may need new software..... This one you'll have to ask in the OS/2 newsgroups: comp.os.os2.apps seems most appropriate. _____________________________________________________________________ |\_____________________________________________________________________\ | | | | | John H.

For a short time I installed Works to have a look at it, and performance did not change a bit!!! Then I deleted it, without ever de-registering the WPS classes (because I don't need works as much as the disk space it uses), and performance is still as snappy and speedy as ever!!! On the other hand, I have Warp on my Desktop (installed with new formatting of the partition) and never even looked at Works there, much less installed it, and it is slow as a snail (which 2.11 wasn't on the same system). It seems that Works causes some performance degradation for some users (definitely not all!) which may be regained by proper removal of all of its components. But the extreme slowness that some systems show does not seem to be related to Works and must be due to some other bug.

It can't compress entire directories at once right now. You *can* compress using wildcards. But the easiest way is just to copy the stuff to the h: drive. After you've attached a Zipstream drive (h: in your case), you can use it just like any other drive. The original files are stored on d: in raw format - either compressed or uncompressed. If you try to view/run a compressed file on your d: drive, it'll look/act like garbage. But if you go to the mirror h: drive and look at the same file, zipstream will decompress it for you on the fly. (uncompressed files look the same on the d: and h: drives) You can compress files directly on the d: drive with ZSPACK, or you can copy it to the h: drive, which will compress it automatically (you'll hear your hard drive at work long after the copy command is "finished"). It'll make a compressed version of your file on your d: drive so you can delete the original. The nice thing about being able to pick and choose which files to compress is that if you're finding a particular file takes too long to decompress, you can just leave it uncompressed. You'll have to redirect any drive letters the program uses from d: to h: though. You can also do some thoughtful drive organization with the ZSATTACH program. I use f: for ftp stuff, g: for programs, and h: for data. All these drives are actually directories on my D: drive. > I use a Colorado Trakker 250, and have not tried to back up since the > install.

This one you'll have to ask in the OS/2 newsgroups: comp.os.os2.apps seems most appropriate. _____________________________________________________________________ |\_____________________________________________________________________\ | | | | | John H.

Dunaway * EMC.Ver #2.10P ] -- I don't know how many people out there are using Warp on 750s with monochrome LCDs. It seems to me that most of you people out there have color screens. I'm jealous. On the other hand, I'll bet most of you don't have 20MB RAM! In any event, there is a documented problem with the default Warp SVGA video drivers on 750s with monochrome LCDs. IBM OS/2 Support doesn't care. When running seamless Win-OS/2 sessions, you're left with all manner of garbage on the screen left over from simple things like pulling down menus. This doesn't afflict you if you use an external monitor. Also, if your CRT was set for 800x600 (or 1024x768 I suppose) and you then used the LCD, your seamless Win-OS/2 windows thought they still had the larger amount of screen real estate to work with; in essence, when maximized, they went off the screen and created more video garbage. I suspect this problem affects all 750 (and 755 and 360, for that matter) users. Finally, there was *absolutely no way* to get full-screen Win-OS/2 up in anything greater than 640x480. I used the ThinkPad video drivers version 1.32 under OS/2 2.1. Those drivers were afflicted by none of these problems. They were, unfortunately, intolerably slow. Well, I got sick of Warp's lame drivers, and installed ThinkPad video drivers version 1.33 over Warp using the instructions for installing over OS/2 2.1 for Windows. They seem much faster than they did under OS/2 2.1, and they don't seem to have any problems at all. I hope this information helps some of you out there, at least until IBM can repair Warp's built-in video drivers. Wesley T. Dunaway (dunaway@s9000.furman.edu) From ???@???

Nope. Your screen is an LCD--LCD's don't suffer from "burn-in" the way CRT's can. There is no harm in leaving it on. That said, I still, at the very least, turn my screen off (hit FN+F3) when I leave my computer running for an extended period of time. The reason is that although your LCD screen won't burn in, presumably that backlight in your screen can burn *out*. I don't know anyone who has had this happen to them, but just the same...I'd rather conserve it as best I can. But there's no need to be paranoid here... ----- ________________________________ Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu | Y'know, Tuna just | USC School of Business (Fight on, 'SC Trojans!)| doesn't taste the same | (My opinions are mine, but since I'm | since they took the | right, they should be yours too.) | Dolphin out! | -------------------------------- From ???@???

Is the much-talked-about new IBM PCMCIA modem likely to work on European ISDN lines? I understand the standard here's a little different from the North American one, if there is a standard at all (seems to vary microscopically from country to country!). IBM has been no help, nobody here seems to even know about the product yet. Also, on this issue of the synchronous vs. asynchronous implementation of the protocol, I would assume that with appropriate third-party packet drivers on either end, you'd still be able to do direct IP, just as I am doing now with a Windows Sockets TCP/IP stack and a garden-variety analog modem. Is this correct? The prospect of 64 or 128 kbps through my TP is pretty mouthwatering, especially considering the telecoms over here are just about *giving away* ISDN lines.

And it is now also on the unofficial Thinkpad page. http://shadow.net/~dwhite/thinkpad.html. Also there is the text file that came with it that includes tips on recovering BIOS area, tuning the memory requirements of PCMCIA and a few others I can't recall off the top of my head. Also, the program MOREMEM, discussed in the past here. I can't say how well this program works. It's actually kind of annoying to find out that such an improvement can be realized so easily, but that won't keep me from enjoying the result.

Apparently Microsoft has, as the 75x machines are on the official Hardware Compatibility List (at least for 3.5), which only includes gear that MS testers have actually tried out. Caveats: 1. No built-in PCMCIA support. And as far as I know, none of the card manufacturers is shipping NT add-in drivers yet, either. 2. Best available video resolution is 640x480x16, on both the LCD screen and external monitors. 3. Possible problems addressing Extended IDE hardrive space > 520 Megs. I'm not certain whether this applies to the large TP drives, but it is known that not all EIDE drives are 100% compatible with NT. As for what you can do to get 3.1 to install, my best advice is to run out and buy the upgrade. 3.5 has a much improved auto-installer, and runs a good deal faster in half as much RAM. A real solid product, I have it on my desktop machine now, too bad the above deficiencies make it a non-contender (for my needs anyway) as a notebook OS.

The American format is 2B1Q, which stands for 2-bit-1-quaternary. Basically, that means that they send two bits per symbol, and each symbol has 4 logic levels. Europe is (I think) 3B2T, which is 3-bits-2-ternary, i.e. they send three bits by sending 2 ternary logic symbols. So, in other words, since the American-standard and European-standard ISDN chipsets are not compatible, therefore the modems cannot be compatible. I don't think anybody has come out with a chipset to do both standards. --andy From ???@???

Has anyone else had this happen to them? The ThinkPad 750 monochrome with 20MB RAM and a 170MB hard drive, attached to a Port Replicator I, had been running OS/2 Warp nonstop for days in my dorm room. No shutdowns, a couple of warm boots, but basically uninterrupted operation. Computer was sitting close to an open window. Outside temperature here is about 40-60 degrees F. There's a heater under the window, so the ThinkPad wasn't really cold. About 2pm today I notice a noisy grinding sound coming from the computer. Further investigation reveals that it's coming from the hard drive. Shut down and detach from Port Replicator. Noise persists. Boot to floppy with hard drive removed to make sure that it was the source of the noise. It was. Put the hard drive back in and turn the ThinkPad back on. All the data on the drive seems to be there. At 6pm I put the ThinkPad in my bag and head for a computer lab. It's my job to supervise the lab. Unfortunately the lab only has Macs. Need a real computer for serious work when I'm in there. Plug in the AC adapter (after all, I stay here for 5 hours) and boot the ThinkPad. The noise is still there. Start thinking of how I'll have to wait for a new hard drive over Christmas break. About 9pm the sound stops. Now the hard drive makes the same old whine it used to. What gives? Unrelated noise problem: Probably 5 or 6 times over the life of the computer (about 10 months now, all under heavy use), the built-in speaker has started cackling like an old AM radio. Every time it happened I was running OS/2 2.1. Of course, that's the only OS I ran for a long time. Restarting the system made the noise go away. Annoying, but certainly not worth taking the computer in over. Again, I would appreciate knowing if anyone has experienced either of these problems. I really can't complain too much about durability problems. I know a fellow with a TI TravelMate, and his computer has been known to just quit working for days at a time. On the other hand, I know someone with an ancient Compaq 386/16. It's really sad that their passive-matrix mono screen looks better than mine. PowerBook mono screens look very nice, also. The best mono screen I ever saw was while I was shopping for my ThinkPad. It was a Compaq, and it actually had an active matrix *mono* screen. It really was beautiful. To my eyes, less stressful than color LCD screens. I probably would have bought that computer, but I couldn't get that screen with anything better than a 25MHz processor. Oh well, I guess I'm stuck with this lousy screen for a while. Not too big a deal as I use an IBM 15" color CRT most of the time. I went with a cheap LCD but a nice monitor. Of course, I thought I could upgrade to a color LCD later, but all I've heard about this is that it costs $3000. Has anyone heard about this upgrade? Upgrading the display is on the bottom of my list of toys to buy, but I'm sure there are some users who would appreciate the information Wesley T. Dunaway (dunaway@s9000.furman.edu) From ???@???

Almost exactly the same happened to me at the same moment! I have a Thinkpad 720C and yesterday in the evening (must be early afternoon in the US) the HD 170 MB began to make a noise like a coffeegrinder. I turned the computer off and on and off and on and the noise stayed. So with haste I began to make a backup of the whole disk (PCTools Backup, costs me 67 diskettes). All the time the noise was there, very annoying. Then I turned the computer off. Late at night, just before I wanted to go to bed, I turned it on. The noise was gone. I worked on it today for three hours now - no noise.

I guess buyer beware for anyone looking into any The "mobile" Pentium chip (I can't remember the code name for the thing, "P5M" or something) is a raw die in a tab-bonded carrier. As I posted earlier, this is a very expensive packaging technology that only a few megalithic corporations can afford. Compaq, for instance, doesn't have the capability of using tab-bonding and isn't sure if its worth the capital investment. If you've never seen a tab-bonded package before, its the thickness of a regular integrated circuit die, suspended by an incredibly thin gold alloy frame. The whole frame is soldered flat to the motherboard, then its covered with a _thick_ layer of black epoxy. You can't remove the chip without a Dremel grinder. | Robert George | Army Research Laboratory | | robertg@assb01.arl.mil | AMSRL-SS-IC | | Voice: (408) 656-3316 | 2800 Powder Mill Road | | Fax: (408) 656-2814 | Adelphi, MD 20783-1197 | A designer knows when he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. -- Antoine de Saint-Exupery From ???@???

I didn't expect that they would have experienced it at *exactly the same time* that I did. In any event, I called the Psychic Hotline today. The nice lady there told me that because of the Aquarian alignment of the Zoroastrian sun, and the gravitational pull of the Comet Europa, a Submusculaneous Alignment took place between Greenville, South Carolina, USA, and a certain town in the Netherlands. This alignment of the stars occurs only once every 100,000 years. She said that our computers must now contact one another physically to restore the bond established by the alignment and that, when it happens, a mystical force will envelope their owners, causing a fully enlightened condition of Bushido. What this means, Rob, is that you must send your TP 720 to me. I will perform the contact and you will have Bushido enlightenment. :-> But seriously, I'm sure coincidences happen, but this is really strange. Has anyone at all had an experience like this? I honestly can't think of a good explanation. Can someone address hard drive noises in general? Maybe dust or something got into the motor and started the grinding noise.

Any suggestions, comments, warnings, prayers? The specs: DOCK II 540 SCSI drive IBM3540 in 1" bay (the left one) TP750CS 540MB 20MB RAM IBM 144 Fax/modem OS/2 v2.1 The DOCKII controller can see the 540 drive at any SCSI address I set when the dock comes up. It gives the SCSI address the drive type IBM3540 with a "!W" tacked onto the end. OS/2 and DOS fdisk's NEVER see the DOCK II drive! The interal Easy setup doesnt acknowlege the existance of a 2nd Harddrive. I can force the boot sequence and get the "No Operating System found" code tho. I copied the OS/2 adaptek driver from the provided disk. I didnt see how its going to "auto-magikcally" load the driver tho, no meantion of actually putting it into the config.sys. I tried just that and it trapped the TP hard! I dont want to put the bios update on the TP cause the bio on it now is of a higher level and works just fine. Dont even say put WARP on, I got enough headaches at the present. Im at my ropes end, any suggestions? IMHO its a bigger "toy" than the DOCKI with more to go wrong it it from my standpoint. Kinda nice having extra PCMCIA slots and 2 ISA and 2 drive capability. Only think I dont like about it really is Im not the one with the TP :-<, I only get to service, maintain, coax and sweet talk the one belonging to my boss!

The ethernet PCMCIA is IBM's Credit Card Adapter II The TCP/IP is from Novells Lan Workplace (V4.01). It was a bit of an effort to get it all going, mainly sorting out what memory to allocate, and in the end I dispensed with IBM's AUTODRV However, to run my fax/modem, AUTODRV appears necessary, so I have a conditional boot, depending on whether I am going to be connected to ethernet or to the phone. Now, with the setup hassles were over, it is running well. I'll post my config files if anyone wants them HOWEVER, what I really want to know about is running TCP/IP on Warp. I have my copy of WARP sitting ready to load, but can't afford to be without ethernet. Has anyone got this working either with IBM's Credit Card Adapter II, or Xircoms CEM II ??

If so could you post your auto and config files? >I want to thank whomever responds with any help and/or suggestions. Joseph, I've been using Qemm with several generations of ThinkPads. In general, it's _somewhat_ worth the hassle. The PCMCIA socket services take up a lot of conventional memory, and I've found Qemm can relocate PCMCIA successfully. However, I am _not_ having a lot of luck with 7.5. I purchased the upgrade from 7.04 because they advertised that they supported socket services directly. Well, that may be true, but 7.5 randomnly knocks off the power management task! Also, when I try to enter suspend mode, the video driver gets corrupted, and the screen turns pretty streaks of colors (the suspend still completes successfully). I have resorted to using 7.04 again until Quarterdeck gets their act together. Quarterdeck goes through this crap every time they distribute a new release. They've posted _three_ patches already (since September) for 7.5, and I've heard of a lot more complaints besides my own. Also, Make sure you take a look at the thinkpad.tec note on the qdeck.com ftp site. | Robert George | Army Research Laboratory | | robertg@assb01.arl.mil | AMSRL-SS-IC | | Voice: (408) 656-3316 | 2800 Powder Mill Road | | Fax: (408) 656-2814 | Adelphi, MD 20783-1197 | A designer knows when he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. -- Antoine de Saint-Exupery From ???@???

So far it is disorienting but interesting. It seems very mac like, but without the limitations. Unfortunately, the documentation is minimal: about as bad as windows. I have it configured with Boot Manager, a 262 meg FAT partition for DOS/Windows and a 261 meg HPFS partion for OS2. Despite the fact that this is not their vanilla installation, it was relatively easy to set up. Probably easier than windows! The seamless windows didn't work right at first on the mono lcd, but as WT Dunaway suggested, installation of the 1.33 video features disk fixes this. I havn't used it long enough to comment further, but from the look of things, I may never have to boot dos again. Question: I have installed the internet-access material bundled with the software, but there is no documentation on linking with a physical ethernet network. They assume you are completely ignorant, and only document how to connect to THEIR dial-in SLIP service. I have a 3com 3c589 PCMCIA ethernet card connected to a straight tcpip network. I assume that I can't use the dos drivers. What do I need to do to connect the bundled os/2 software to the card? Tips on where to find good network shareware and freeware would also be appreciated.

Instead of loading system DLLs as they're called, it loads them all and swaps them. Apparently this was one of the tweaks they came up with that speeded up Warp, at the cost of increased swap space. OS/2's swap requirements are becoming more like Unix. On the SCO Unix system I maintain, they recommend a default swapfile equal to twice the amount of RAM you have. Hmm... maybe we should make a TP750-OS/2 sub-mailing list? I feel like I'm cluttering the mailboxes of those not interested in OS/2. _____________________________________________________________________ |\_____________________________________________________________________\ | | | | | John H.

I don't run OS2 or intend to, but I don't mind the traffic. Then again, as a pseudo-support person, I try to keep up on what's going on in the industry, particulary in the consumer arena.

You need a JEIDA DRAM card. Pick up a Computer Shopper (or your favorite PC rag), and look up all the ads that sell memory. Many of them will have a section specifically for IBM notebooks. Look up TP750/755 and that's the card you want. Typical prices (at least when I bought my card a year ago) were around $45/meg. I believe there was someone on this list trying to sell a bunch of 4MB cards not too long ago. While I'm on the subject, can anyone recommend a place to buy a 16MB card? I'm finding out that OS/2, TCP/IP, httpd, ftpd, and CSet++ are not happy crammed into 12MB. :-) Anybody else running this much stuff? I hear CSet++ wants 16MB so I'm wondering if I should save for a 32MB card, or just give up and buy a desktop. _____________________________________________________________________ |\_____________________________________________________________________\ | | | | | John H.

After asking here about PCMCIA ethernet cards and OS/2, I settled on IBM's Credit Card Adapter II. I've got it running with OS/2 2.1, TCP/IP 2.0 (for OS/2) just fine. To add ethernet functionality to Warp, you can: 1) Wait for and upgrade to the LAN version of Warp due 1Q95, or 2) Buy TCP/IP for OS/2 at about $140 (this gives you ftp and telnet servers if you're specifically looking for those), or 3) Do what the following post says (I haven't tested anything quoted below) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- From: Howard.Gilbert@yale.edu Newsgroups: comp.os.os2.networking.tcp-ip Subject: Adding LAN TCP/IP to Warp Date: 5 Nov 1994 03:05:49 GMT Organization: Yale University Lines: 44 Message-ID: <39esqd$r1e@news.ycc.yale.edu> Reply-To: Howard.Gilbert@yale.edu NNTP-Posting-Host: remote1-line4.cis.yale.edu X-Newsreader: IBM NewsReader/2 v1.02 Warp is shipped with a number of TCP/IP client programs and all the DLL support. It provides only SLIP transport, but it is compatible with LAN transport available from earlier sources. When the LAN Client version of Warp ships later, it will have all the required code. In the meanwhile... To connect Warp to a LAN, you need two things. You need an NDIS 2 protocol stack to support your LAN card, and you need an IBM TCP/IP NDIS 2 protocol driver. Contrary to several postings on this list, NTS/2 is not enough. NTS/2 (sold separately or bundled with LS 3.0) includes the NDIS 2 stack but does not have the TCP/IP NDIS 2 protocol driver. The protocol driver was shipped separately on the TCPLAPS disk of the OS/2 TCP/IP Base Kit. NTS/2 is slowly being replaced by MPTS/2, an upgraded version that does include TCP/IP support. First, consider getting DEVCON. Cost is $120 (Educational pricing) for a one year subscription with 4 quarterly shipments of CDs. TCP/IP has been on all 5 of the previous DEVCON shipments. Technically, IBM can pull it from the next CD, and then your license to use it would expire. So up to this point this has been a dicy proposition. However, LAN Client will ship in the next quarter (we all hope) and if that is your eventual objective, DEVCON may provide a short term bridge and months of other goodies. If you are poor, then you need a friend. If you can find someone with LAN Server 4.0, you can add a Requestor License on top of his server licence for what appears to be $30. You have to then borrow the disks to install it. There is a claim that DCE Client contains the license at $45, but it is not clear if you get any media. Besides, friends with the DCE SDK are harder to find than friends with LS 4.0 Entry. You can buy MPTS/2 explicitly under the title of Anynet/2. The cost is $130 (with diskettes). If you have this kind of money, the DEVCON approach gets you lots, lots more. ---- Howard Gilbert --Chief Mechanic at PC Lube and Tune Technical training on PC's, networks, and communications.

The trackpoint often takes off on a little journey, but for me, only moves about an inch, then stops. I beleive it is reconfiguring.

Home users normally don't have a full-blown TCP/IP connection :-) so getting them onto the Internet via SLIP is a valid choice... They'll do the ooh ahh thing at demos when you can do the equivalent of multitasking over a serial line (SLIP). I've actually seen this happen.. You'll probably want to wait for the Warp Lan Client which is due out in Q1. Other people (like me) have hacked TCP/IP 2.0 onto Warp to get simultaneous SLIP and TCP/IP (and it doesn't cost $207...only about $140). Another thing you could do if you have a SLIP capable system at school, is to dial into it via Warp's Other Provider option (preferably through a null-modem). Not quite as fast as a direct link, but not that bad, either...my SLIP link through a 28.8K modem is actually faster than the Internet link here.. ken From ???@???

He explained that if your finger is on the device when it recalibrates (which is, as I recall, every 2 minutes, or so) the program will read the existing pressure as zero and recalibrate accordingly. From that point until the next recalibration you will have to "fight" the device. And if you keep fighting the device for another two minutes, the problem will get worse. The best solution, I was told, is to avoid using the Trackpoint for two minutes as soon as it happens. This has largely resolved my problem -- which is not to say that this is the only possible problem, or the only solution. I do, however, think that this feature of the Trackpoint makes it less desirable as a full substitute for the mouse. There is always a chance that you will be exerting pressure on it at the moment of recalibration, thereby rendering it much less useful until it recalibrates again. Bob Meister From ???@???

Yes, in that sense Qemm 7.5 works just like all the other previous versions.

The assumption was that Apple notebooks were the single biggest seller and their market share made it economical to make 3rd party stuff for. Well, that's not the case! According to the Wall Stree Journal a couple days ago (which lifted the information from Dataquest), Here's what the market shares for the "U.S. Portable Computer" market look like for Q3, 1994: Apple: 10.1% IBM: 13.3% Compaq: 13.2% Toshiba:19.5% Others: 43.9% Just another (perhaps useless) factoid for y'all. Apple doesn't have a huge share of the portable market anymore than it does the "regular" PC market. ----- ________________________________ Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu | Y'know, Tuna just | USC School of Business (Fight on, 'SC Trojans!)| doesn't taste the same | (My opinions are mine, but since I'm | since they took the | right, they should be yours too.) | Dolphin out! | -------------------------------- From ???@???

While I don't think that the product is problem free, the problems which have been reported can be avoided. The two outstanding problems which have been reported to QDeck are: 1) MFT crashes which attempting to access socket services. 2) Even which a PCMCIA memory area is excluded (remember that v7.5 should be able to determine PCMCIA memory area) drives are squeezed in the excluded area. Thus if you have a LAN card with shared memory (i.e. IBM's card or any National based card) this is a problem. The solution to the first problem is don't attempt to touch the PCMCIA socket services when using MFT. The second problem requires manual intervention while optimizing. In other words, during optimization you must manually force drivers from using the excluded area. Even when using the two workarounds given above, I find that the system traps on illegal instructions. The frequency of system crashes is maybe once a week. All of the 750's functions work except for hibernation. Hibernation requires excluding another range between E000 to EFFF (don't remember the exact range). ____ Scott Stratmoen | strat@dsd.northrop.com | (708) 259-9600 ex 4762Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=ETHERQEM.ZIP Content-Description: etherqem.zip Attachment Converted: C:\SCRATCH\ETHERQEM.ZIP From ???@???

Signature gathering for this petition EXPIRES January 15, 1995!] Following this short introductory section is the petition statement to Intel regarding the serious FDIV design flaw in their Pentium processors. I encourage you to read the petition statement carefully, and if you agree with all three terms (given near the end of the statement), to then "sign" it via Internet e-mail using the instructions which follow the statement. Do follow exactly the directions on how to "sign"; they are not difficult. Note that only those with valid Internet-accessible e-mail addresses can sign this petition. Signatures submitted any way other than via Internet e-mail will NOT be accepted. Many BBS and nearly all on-line services, such as CompuServe, do have Internet e-mail access of some kind. If you are not sure, or don't know how, ask your sysadmin/sysop for assistance. Please do upload this petition statement as soon as possible to any BBS and on-line service in your area. If you have access to one of the major national on-line services such as CompuServe, Prodigy, AOL, etc., do try to upload it there. We are trying to get at least 5000 signatures. Even more signatures are entirely possible if we each put in a little effort to inform others, such as friends and coworkers, about the petition. I plan to submit the signatures to Intel and to the news media by January 15, 1995. However, I will still accept signatures as late as January 30, 1995. Thank you for your signature! And let's get this petition drive going! We only have four short weeks, and it's the Holiday Season to boot. Jon Noring ****************Beginning of Petition Statement to Intel******************** Date: December 14, 1994 Subject: Petition to Intel on the Pentium Design Flaw Dear Intel: We, the undersigned, are very concerned about your handling of the floating point divide (FDIV) design flaw found in all of your Pentium processors manufactured until very recently. We do acknowledge that perfection is hard to achieve in any product. However, there are certain types of imperfections that are serious enough to warrant special attention and treatment. This is clearly one of them. Your actions to downplay the FDIV design flaw have only created confusion and hostility among your loyal customers. In addition, the fact that you knew about the design flaw from July, but did nothing to warn Pentium users about it, and even continued to ship Pentium processors with the FDIV design flaw to resellers until very recently (and probably still are), only adds fuel to the hostility felt by Pentium owners and would-be owners. We know it is not your intent to alienate your customers, but that is effectively what you have done by your mishandling of the situation up to the present. We urge you to change course immediately. You are right in saying that a large number of Pentium users will not be adversely affected by the FDIV design flaw since they are not using their Pentiums *now* for intensive floating point calculations. However, a significant and also large number of Pentium users, including scientists, engineers, designers, financial professionals, students, mathematicians and statisticians, and ordinary spreadsheet users, to name just a few of the affected groups of Pentium users, could encounter this error, with many possible negative consequences. Engineers typically do design calculations where an error could seriously affect public safety; financial analysts dealing with large sums of money where an error in the 4th significant figure (as the design flaw is sometimes capable of producing) can result in millions of dollars of losses. And do not forget that many of your customers bought a Pentium for what it potentially could do, not just to run applications they are currently using. Your claims that it will occur so rarely (e.g., once every 27,000 years for the typical user) as to be inconsequential are totally unfounded, as many recent posts by competent scientists and mathematicians to the Usenet/Internet newsgroup 'comp.sys.intel' have demonstrated beyond a doubt. In addition, IBM, a major seller of Pentium systems, recently issued a press release also doubting your claims, stating that even the ordinary spreadsheet user could encounter this FDIV error every few days -- for a large company with many spreadsheet users, this could lead to several errors per day, some of which could prove costly. Many scientists and engineers have reported that they had to throw away months of costly calculations since they are not sure the answers are correct, or that others will call into question the results during the peer review/publication process. Even several Ph.D. students have reported on Usenet that they have to rerun months of calculations, delaying the completion of their thesis by several months or more. In addition, your implied argument that it wasn't discovered for a long time as being proof that it is not serious, is also incorrect. As an arithmetic flaw, which does not give any warning, it is especially insidious because when it does occur, the user is usually unaware of it (that's why it took so long to be discovered *and* publicized). Only by rerunning the code on a machine with a proven reliable FPU can the error be seen. Most of these codes take so long to run, even on the fast Pentium, that rerunning the codes for verification is very costly and thus are usually not undertaken. Upon hearing of the FDIV design, many Pentium users have rerun FPU intensive calculations on FPU reliable processors and some have reported finding serious discrepancies that went previously unnoticed. Your present policy of downplaying the seriousness of the FDIV design flaw, by using incorrect statistical analysis (your so-called "White Paper"), and by your massive PR media blitz which tends to only give your side of the story (you call it a "subtle flaw" with shades of double-speak in George Orwell's "1984"), is especially serious and adversely affects your credibility. Your offer to replace the Pentium processor for those who, in your opinion, could be affected by the flaw, is tainted by your fairly strict and seemingly arbitrary qualification criteria, as well as your lackluster effort (effectively none) in trying to inform Pentium owners about the FDIV design flaw. Your so-called "Six Point Plan" to handle the situation is clearly motivated by damage control rather than by trying to satisfy your customers. There is a BIG difference. In summary, your mishandling of the entire situation only serves to alienate both your customers and stockholders, and may even make you legally liable for endangering the public safety and for economic losses of various sorts. We are certain you and your stockholders don't want this. We, the undersigned, therefore make the following demands, which we hope you will consider as friendly recommendations from your loyal customers: 1) That you will offer a free replacement Pentium processor (which has been updated so as to fix the FDIV design flaw without slowing down FPU performance) to any owner of a FDIV-flawed Pentium processor who requests a replacement, with *no questions asked*, and with *no exceptions*. In addition, you will make it easy, logistically, for the requester to obtain the replacement processor, and you will pay all reasonable costs for effecting the replacement. 2) That you will make a *good faith* effort to inform all Pentium owners of your replacement offer in demand #1 above, for example, by half to full-page advertising in major newspapers, magazines, trade and scientific journals, notices to Pentium system resellers, universities, research laboratories, etc. All notices and advertisements must include a clearly objective and concise assessment, written by an expert in the field not associated *in any way* with Intel, of the FDIV design flaw and in what type of applications it could cause problems. The assessment must reference, *without comment*, information recently released by IBM concerning the potential frequency of FDIV errors to spreadsheet users. The notices and advertisements must also include the information from demand #3 below. The campaign to inform Pentium owners must begin within six weeks from the acceptance of our demands. 3) That you will publicly release information on how to determine, by the serial number printed on the processor, a FDIV design flawed Pentium from one that has this design flaw fixed. This information must be posted to the Internet as well as provided to your resellers and to the editors of the major PC-related consumer magazines and PC-industry newsletters. We, the undersigned, believe the above demands are not harsh, and will help you to gain credibility and confidence among all computer users. In fact, this may actually result in a marketing victory for you, as people speak enthusiastically and do business with companies who follow the principle that "the customer is always right." They will see you as a company who cares for the little guy, with the result that your long-term success is assured. Without such consumer confidence, no business has ever been able to thrive in the long-term. We ask that you choose to put your customers first, and the long-term profits will surely follow. We are certain that your stockholders would also wholeheartedly agree with this assessment. Intel, do the right thing!

I suppose it's about time to post this. Our admin is Keith Moore aka postmaster@cs.utk.edu. A little over a year ago in reply to an article on comp.sys.laptops, I put a small joke about a mailing list in one of my posts. On Nov 27, 1993, Sean Chou replied to me as follows: ************************************************************************** >In comp.sys.laptops you write: > >>Maybe we 750 owners should start a mailing list or something to keep each >>other updated on things like this.... :) > >Actually, this isn't realy a bad idea since we all have a lot of money >invested in these machines and seeing as they are the first of a breed, >we can probably all expect quite a few problems in the future. > >I'd even be willing to handle it as long as it doesn't get too >ridiculous (which it shouldn't since I've only seen a handful of people >who have them). I guess I should start by: 1) seeing if these messages >are getting through, and 2) posting a message to all TP750/C users out >there.... >-- >Sean Chou >University of Illinois - Champaign >Email: seanchou@uiuc.edu ************************************************************************* For a while we ran off a mailing aliases - everybody kept their own list of everyone else who was "on" the TP750 mailing list, or we'd send mail to Sean and he'd forward it to everyone. Then on Jan 3, 1994, Sean made the following announcement: ************************************************************************* >Keith Moore has offered to set up a permanent home for our Thinkpad 750 >mailing list. A direct quote from him: > >---------------- >I have tentatively set up a regular mailing list at tp750@cs.utk.edu which >has the current membership on it. I'm willing to maintain it if people >send mail to tp750-request@cs.utk.edu for additions/deletions/changes >--------------------- > >I will continue to service this site (well, alias) as long as it's >necessary so if you forget the site, just send it here and I'll >redirect it the proper way.

And especially to Robert Dewar (who helped think of this >great idea and answered all my pesty questions before I finally got >my own TP750C) and John Kim (who helped out in general)... ************************************************************************ So this list is over a year old, or almost a year old, depending on if you count from the genesis of the list, or from the genesis of the alias site. Either way, Happy 1st Birthday. Many MANY thanks to Keith Moore, Sean Chou, Robert Dewar, and everyone else whose contributions have made the mailing list a success. Many people have said this before but I'll reiterate: I get at least ten times more useful information from this list than from IBM or comp.sys.laptops.

I'm a consumer, damn it, I consume I think getting files from the list is a great convenience, but then I'm living off the taxpayer so what do I know. What is the cost of getting a reasonable sized file like this in your mailbox at one of the commercial servers? I guess it would be small.

Don't tell me you buys stuff from IBM? :-) Many places have it for considerably less. ~$140.

If this group would exist as > a usenet group, I wouls visit it once a week or so, glance over, read > what I think I want to, respond, and done... I always find it odd when people complain about the volume here, and the proposed solution is to move the discussion to usenet. Doing so will surely not decrease the volume, and will surely increase the noise-to-signal ratio! (Incidentally, one of the other lists I'm subscribed to just severed the link between it and its corresponding Usenet newsgroup, because the amount of irrevelant traffic from the latter made it totally useless.) I do understand not wanting tp750 mail to arrive in the same mailbox as personal mail. And yet I'd like to have this continue to be an effective discussion group. So I'd like to suggest some alternative approaches: 1. sort your incoming mail according to topic. I would happily put an extra header in all outgoing tp750 mail that made it easy to separate tp750 list traffic from other messages, and I could try to promote a convention for doing this on all mailing lists. (In another guise I am an author of and/or contributor to several Internet email standards, so this is not as farfetched as it might seem.) 2. multiple mailboxes per user. I subscribe to this list as moore+tp750@cs.utk.edu, so all of my tp750 mail ends up in a special mailbox. Some mail systems already have such a feature built-in, and for many others (e.g. sendmail) it is easy to add. (I'll provide code for those who are interested.) 3. A 'digest' list (separate from the main one) which lumps articles together in batches which are periodically sent out. 4. A www browsable archive of the list, that anyone on the Internet could peruse at his or her leisure. (so you don't actually have to subscribe to the list to keep up) I'd be willing to invest my copious free time in any (perhaps multiple) of these approaches. Notes: #1 is easy on the list side, but recipients need sorting software on their ends. Several capable tools already exist for UNIX, but perhaps not for other systems. #2 is entirely on the recipient's host, but I can provide code for those who want it and try to promote it on the net. #3 is not too difficult to do here, and if lots of people want it I will start working on it in earnest. #4 would only help people with good tcp/ip access. it would be very useful...but it might not quite fit people's needs in this case. I suspect tools for the web server already exist, it's just a matter of finding them and getting the disk space... Keith From ???@???

Another list I'm on offers a daily digest option - you can choose to receive the messages individually, or a single daily mailig containing ALL traffic that day. Advantage: you now have just one message to browse when you have time. Disadvantage: it's tough if you wish to reply to a particular message, as they are no longer distinct in your reader. > 4.

I have not tried Warp, but I have tried and dumped every other incarnation of OS/2 from 1.2 to 2.1. To me, it mostly boils down to this: If you have OS/2-based software, its wonderful. If you have Windows-based software, then why run OS/2? Just like those who had lots of DOS apps have been disappointed with the way DOS apps ran under Windows, I have been similarly disappointed with the way my Windows Apps. run under OS/2. If the whole world had standardized on OS/2 and had been writing lots of OS/2 apps (yeah, there's 2,000 of them out there somewhere, but nearly all of it is crap that nobody's ever heard of), then it would be a great choice of operating system. Until then, you'll be running almost nothing but Windows or DOS apps. under OS/2--why? In my experience, applications run best on the operating system (lets not get too picky about Windows not really being an op. system--okay, "operating environment") they were designed to run on. This means Windows apps run best on Windows--not on a Mac "SoftWindows", not using WABI on some flavor of Unix, and not on OS/2's Windows implimentation. But if you are willing to select pretty much *only* OS/2-based software (of which the selection is fairly limited--especially if you are a Microsoft Office person), then go to OS/2 and enjoy it--it really is great, but just starving for real application support. ----- ________________________________ Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu | Y'know, Tuna just | USC School of Business (Fight on, 'SC Trojans!)| doesn't taste the same | (My opinions are mine, but since I'm | since they took the | right, they should be yours too.) | Dolphin out! | -------------------------------- From ???@???

It would appear, however, that this overall system slowdown is hardware dependent, as not everyone using Works has encountered this problem. Since I had not heard whether Thinkpads as a group are afflicted by this malady, I decided to use my machine as the sacrificial lamb. Here are my observations... o System Performance - basically unchanged after installation of Works. The only noticeable effect was a slight increase in boot-up time. The machine was no less responsive than before, and there was no increase in swapper activity or in the size of the swapper file. o System Stability - no change from the pre-Works condition. o Runaway Processes - There has been some discussion about Works initiating runaway background processes which hog system resources and eventually bring the system to its knees. I did notice that the so called "Event Monitor" is started automatically upon startup of various utilities such as the PIM and calendar. This Event Monitor runs minimized, and as such is somewhat stealthy unless you're in the habit of periodically checking the task list. It didn't seem to hog resources or otherwise misbehave, and I'm not convinced of its inherent evilness. o General impression of Works - OK, but nothing special. About on par with what you'd expect out of a package of this type. o Bottom line - IBM Works seems to be well behaved, at least on my `Pad. (Keep in mind that I'm only running on 8MB of ram, too). Also, I am not currently using WIN-OS/2, so if the problem is somehow related to Windows support, I would have been spared as a result. Based on a huge sample size of one, I see no reason to avoid IBM Works for fear of performance degradation. Regards, _________________________________________________________________ Karl E.

If you're doing just fine with what you have, there's no reason to switch. On the other hand, if there's something in Warp that you definitely want, then it's worth looking into. >From a programmer's point of view, the separate memory spaces are invaluable - it is impossible for a program to crash another program or a system. Yes, impossible. As far as program A knows, it owns the entire machine - it can't see memory occupied by other programs. Unfortunately, device drivers and other low level software are exempt from this rule so you often get what looks like a program crashing the entire system. The flat memory addressing is nice too. I also find it really handy to be able to load 300k of device drivers (part of which is the Thinkpad Audio drivers :-) and still have 600k left for my DOS programs. If you really want to try out Warp, my suggestion would be to find someone who has Warp, or buy it with a money back guarantee (IBM Direct does this). Then you can try it out and see if it's to your liking. > In my experience, applications run best on the operating system (lets > not get too picky about Windows not really being an op. system--okay, > "operating environment") they were designed to run on.

I'd qualify that with "on the same hardware." There are Commodore 64 emulators that run circles around the real thing. WABI on a Cray would probably be similar. I royally screwed up my hard drive (reformatted and forgot to save a copy of the stuff I need to restore my backup) so I will not be posting much for a few days at least.

Some programs that use VxD's freak out Warp (read: crash sometimes). Programs in this category mostly include programming environments such as VC++, Borland C++, Symantec C++, Boundschecker.

Here are my observations... My experience with Works is identical to yours -- there is no significant effect on the performance of the system. I'm glad to hear that this is still true at 8MB since one theory had it that small-memory machines were more prone to trouble. I did notice that the so called "Event Monitor" is started automatically upon startup of various utilities such as the PIM and calendar. FYI: this can be disabled in the PIM configuration notebook. Also, I am not currently using WIN-OS/2, so if the problem is somehow related to Windows support, I would have been spared as a result. I've been using Windows under Warp and it seems to have no effect. From ???@???

It was my understanding that the IBM slip driver does use VJ compression (optionally of course.) Or at least it does in TCP/IP 2.0. I set up a SLIP link with that package under OS/2 2.1 and VJ compression was an option. I believe the SLIP support in WARP is basically TCP/IP 2.0 with only the SLIP drivers. Unless they've taken pains to hack out the VJ support it should be in there. --Bruce From ???@???

Yes, I have this very configuration running fine (TCP/IP 2.0 via the PCMCIA card *and* Warp's IAK via SLIP). The problem is that Warp handles PCMCIA a little differently -- i.e. provides more support for it -- so using some of the old stuff won't work. Migrating an old CONFIG.SYS seems to mess things up by not removing old drivers, etc. The same seems to be true for some sound drivers. > > The card is recognized by the TP, by Warp, but TCP/IP (and maybe LAPS) > doesn't see it.

I have attached my CONFIG.SYS as a second file -- if you don't have a MIME mail reader it should simply appear as text at the end of this message. It is considerably shortened, leaving out all but a few environment statements. The important thing are the driver statements and their order.

X-Mailer: Jesse Montrose says: >What's the general feeling, should I set up a separate mailing list for >win95 on thinkpad specific issues? Or is the win95: tag sufficient? Separate mailing list?!? I guess it's courteous to ask, but ... Sometime in the next 7-12 months Windows 95 will become the number two or three graphical OS on the planet and I don't see how any computer user who's not living in a cave will be able to avoid it. That's not a statement of affection for Windows or MS, just a reflection on the way the ground shakes when Gates walks. As a sometime Win32 developer I have more than a mild curiosity about MS's new operating systems, but I can't escape the conclusion that (strategically) they ought to be a topic of broad general interest, even to the orneriest OS/2 diehard :-) So yes, keep it on the list. My two cents. [Editorial comment: Hey, does anyone else get the feeling we're getting a little *too* carried away lately about bandwidth hygiene? Surely we can't put every new thread up for vote on acceptability ... maybe we could all just loosen our collars a little and accept that this is a diverse user community, and that there is no such thing as a topic that's guaranteed to delight and interest *everyone*. Don't forget, it's supposed to be a great time of year for tolerance and understanding.

To repeat part of a previous post, I've been having problems with Warp's "Comet Cursor" whereby it just quits working at random intervals. Copied below is IBM's response to the defect report I posted via the Internet. ____________________________________________________________________________ Karl, Below is the response received from the OS/2 Technical Support Staff on PMR 7x280. ---------------------------------------------------- This is a KNOWN PROBLEM, and we are working on it. One possible workaround is to remove (if you have it) the following line from the CONFIG.SYS file: . SET RESTARTOBJECTS=STARTUPFOLDERSONLY. If you need further help, call our support line and reference this pmr. ---------------------------------------------------- Thanks. OS/2 Defect Support, CIS ____________________________________________________________________________ Two things to note here: 1) Comet cursor really is sick. (Yes, I do have that line in my CONFIG.SYS). 2) IBM's Internet support works reasonably well. It took less than a week to receive a reply via email, and a follow-up has been promised once a solution is found. In my particular case, this works much better than placing a toll call to the OS/2 support line and then being placed on hold for who-knows-how-long. If there is any interest, I can post instructions for how to use this Internet-based support. Note that this mechanism works for other IBM software products (i.e., PC-DOS) as well - it is NOT limited to OS/2 support only. Merry Christmas, all!

If you been partially released from the NDA, can you discuss how good it runs compared to WIN31? Of course that is not always valid to compare betas as some betas are faster than the released code. You cannot always trust a feature in the beta to be in the release and it seem that there has been some added features recently unveiled. In light of past experience I get a chuckle over heavy discussions about how great WIN95 is. It may be but I rather wait until it is released. My personal opinion is to keep it on the list and put an WIN95: in front.

Well, I'm still running it :) I have a 755cs with 12meg, and I was constantly running out of resources in win31. I do a lot of www work, and need to have netscape, photoshop, editors, etc, open at once, and just being rid of that old win31 nemesis would have been enough for me. >Of course that is not always valid to compare betas as some >betas are faster than the released code.

I entered the beta late, but I understand that the previous beta was faster. Don't know how much..

It may be but I rather wait until it is released. I'm pleased with it, I love the interface, it works great, there are some bugs, and I do still crash sometimes, but it handles them pretty well, and I certainly feel like I've upgraded.. >My personal opinion is to keep it on the list and put an WIN95: in front. >I would think that there would be an Win95 mailing list already.

Please note that this support is available to U.S. customers only. 1) Obtain a Defect Report Form (problm.txt) from the following ftp site: ftp software.watson.ibm.com \pub\os2\info\problm.txt 2) Fill out the Defect Report Form. This is very self-explanatory, with the following exception: If you would like IBM to respond to your report via email, include your email address next to your name. Because support is normally handled electronically through Compuserve mail, it is very important to include your email address in order to circumvent this. 3) Once completed, email the Defect Report Form to one of the following: DOS or OS/2 problems: 76711.610@compuserve.com All other products: 76711.611@compuserve.com 4) In about a week, you should receive one of the responses described in the problm.txt file. This will include the assignment of a PMR number where applicable. 5) Buy your wife/girlfriend (or husband/boyfriend as the case may be) something nice with the money you save on toll calls for tech support. That's it! _________________________________________________________________ Karl E. Yeanoplos | kyeanopl@den.mmc.com Martin Marietta Corp. | P.O.

Whaddaya think? Though I know there are a lot of OS/2 users on this TP list, I still think it is safe to say that Windows is the dominant working environment for most of us. Based on that, I would presume Win95 issues would be at *least* as pertinent as the OS/2 ones. ----- ________________________________ Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu | Y'know, Tuna just | USC School of Business (Fight on, 'SC Trojans!)| doesn't taste the same | (My opinions are mine, but since I'm | since they took the | right, they should be yours too.) | Dolphin out! | -------------------------------- From ???@???

Sounds like you and I are doing exactly the same thing; I just got my Sigma drive too and ran into the same problem.

If you do not have the TrackPoint III. A good way to increase control of your TrackPointer is to apply SortKWik on the cap. This is a brand name for fingertip moistener that bank tellers use when counting money, etc. I have been using it for several months and it works great. When the cap starts getting alittle slick, I just apply more SortKWik directly to the cap. Each application last a couple of weeks.

This should be in the FAQ. Go to a DOS prompt and type: PS2 BR N And it should give the lower bar the full brightness range it has when plugged int AC power. To put it back into "economy" mode, type: PS2 BR E For some reason (probably magazine battery rundown tests) IBM decided to make the economy mode the default.

My hardware is a TP750 mono with a 340MB HD and 12MB of RAM. I can't get the video to work right between the screen and external monitor. If I boot up with the screen, then switch to an external monitor, half the SVGA display (640x480x256) is missing (blank). If I boot up with an external monitor and switch to the screen, I get a scrambled screen (like someone cut my screen into 8 horizontal sections and glued them back together in the wrong order). Flipping a DOS Windowed session to full screen corrupts the display. 2/3rds of the way down, I get a section of the top of the screen repeated over and over. The problem doesn't happen with a DOS Full screen session flipped to a Windowed session. Possibly related, mode 80,30 doesn't work in OS/2 full screen sessions anymore. It gives me 30 lines, but doesn't fill the LCD. I somehow got this working (along with the DOS boxes) in one of my reinstalls but I've been unable to recreate it. It works fine in VGA as well but now with SVGA. My swapper.dat won't stay above the minimum size. I have in my config.sys SWAPPATH=E:\ 2048 16384 Where E: is a 91MB partition containing OS/2, TCPIP, and Thinkpad stuff (about 35MB free w/o swapper.dat). Upon bootup, swapper.dat is 16MB, but after some use it tends to shrink below the minimum 16384k. I've seen it at 11MB, and even 5MB. I was gonna install the latest FLASH BIOS but the copy I got was corrupt so I'm gonna download it again (10 minutes at 14.4kbps versus 5 seconds over ethernet - *sigh* :-). Does anyone know if that might fix the problems? Otherwise, I'm very impressed with Warp - much faster than the previous versions. Oh, I have the DevCon version which means I don't have a manual. If there are specific instructions for the Thinkpads given in the manual, I'd like to know. -- John H. Kim jokim@mit.edu jokim@uni.uiuc.edu From ???@???

Each adapter supports the new IrDA (Infrared Data Association) standard that enables short-range, point-to-point wireless interconnection of computers and peripherals without cabling. The adapters create invisible links between computers and computer peripherals equipped with similar technology. Instead of physical attachment by means of cables attached to a computer's serial or parallel port, these adapters make a quick and easy connection through infrared light. The technology is simple -- in much the same way a remote control sends signals to a TV, VCR, or stereo, this adapter uses line-of-sight infrared light to transmit data. These products consist of two main components, an adapter card and an infrared transceiver module, which is tethered to the adapter. Infrared light is a reliable, safe medium that moves data between computers using a special protocol for data integrity. These adapters operate in a PC DOS Windows+ or Win-OS/2(R)(1) environment and provide connectivity to notebook computers, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), and other peripherals with IrDA Serial Infrared capabilities. Communications software from PUMA Technology is included with each adapter. The Serial Infrared adapters can be configured to operate in three modes or protocols; this makes them compatible with Hewlett-Packard's Serial Infrared (HP**-SIR**) interfaces and with SHARP**'s Amplitude Shift Key (ASK**) protocol. In addition, the adapters allow your computer to communicate with the new ThinkPad(R) 755CE and 755CD with built-in infrared operating up to 1.152 Mbits/sec.

IrDA has over 65 member companies including IBM, Apple**, AST**, AT&T**, Compaq**, DEC**, Epson**, Fujitsu**, Microsoft**, Motorola**, Northern Telecom**, and Olivetti**. IBM was an active participant in various working groups to define this common industry standard for infrared communications. In addition, the Serial Infrared adapter supports a high-speed mode at 1.152 Mbits/sec developed by IBM and is currently being proposed for inclusion in the IrDA specification. Product Positioning: The Serial Infrared adapter is not to be confused with IBM's family of Infrared Wireless LAN adapters. The Infrared LAN adapters are higher function devices operating with a LAN network operating system infrastructure. This allows workgroups to share data and resources rather than the simple, short-range, point-to point connection supported by the Serial Infrared adapter. Each product uses infrared light to transmit data; however, the Infrared LAN adapters use a higher powered diffuse light rather than low-power, short-range, directed light. Due to the differences in protocols and light transmission techniques, the Infrared LAN adapter cannot communicate with the Serial Infrared adapters. Serial Infrared wireless connectivity has the following advantages: o Easy coexistence of different computing platforms using an industry standard data exchange protocol o Simpler, lower function, lower cost than Infrared LAN or RF LAN connections o Reduced requirements for cabling o Use of untethered portable computers for mobile, on-the-spot data inquiry, capture, and processing o Compatibility with other manufacturers' computers and industry standard protocols Availability Date: December 20, 1994 Technical Information Hardware: The Serial Infrared product consists of two main components: a type II PCMCIA adapter card and an infrared transceiver module, which is tethered to the adapter. The infrared transceiver attaches to the adapter with a miniature 15-pin in-line connector; the cable length is 1 m (3.2 ft). Technology: The technology is simple: in much the same way a remote control sends signals to a TV, VCR, or stereo, this adapter uses line-of-sight infrared light to transmit data. Infrared light is a reliable, safe medium that moves data between computers using a special protocol for data integrity. Protocols and Data Rates: The adapter complies with the IrDA protocol and is configurable to the following speeds: o Compatibility with the new ThinkPad 755CE and 755CD operating up to 1.152 Mbits/sec o IrDA -- This standard supports data transfers from 9600 bits/sec up to 115.2 kbits/sec o HP-SIR -- This standard supports data transfers from 2400 bits/sec up to 115.2 kbits/sec o SHARP ASK -- This standard supports data transfers at 9600 bits/sec and 19.2 kbps Coverage/Range: The PCMCIA adapter transmits light in a direct beam and provides line-of-sight communications up to 3 m (9.6 ft). The light beam expands out in a 30 degree cone (angular relationship between the transmitter and receiver) as it is emitted from the transceiver. System Slot: The adapter requires one type II PCMCIA slot and uses a single COM port, (COM 2, 3, or 4) for IrDA, HP-SIR, and SHARP modes of operation. The 1.152 Mbits/sec mode uses a shared RAM interface. Card and socket services provide easy configuration of the COM port, IRQ settings, and memory location settings. PCMCIA Power Consumption: o 325 mW idle o 450 mW receive o 500 mW transmit Operation in Windows Environments: The Serial Infrared adapter comes with a communication software program called TranXit by PUMA Technologies. This program operates in a PC DOS Windows 3.1 environment and allows for the exchange of data between other computers enabled with IrDA-compatible infrared transceivers. The TranXit software: o Synchronizes drives and directories on two computers with the click of the mouse o Performs file and directory functions remotely with an infrared link o Installs itself remotely on desktop and notebook computers from the host computer without requiring a diskette o Installs a comprehensive online Help system o Runs in the background while other applications are in use; ideal for large file transfers or file synchronizations Since the ThinkPad Model 755CE or 755CD has built-in Serial Infrared capability and is preinstalled with the TranXit communications software, the PCMCIA adapter is ideal for enabling wireless communications between other computers when enabled with PCMCIA slots and the new ThinkPad 755CE and 755CD. Performance Specifications: The Serial Infrared PCMCIA Adapter operates in three modes and is compatible with: o The new ThinkPad 755CE or 755CD operating up to 1.152 Mbits/sec o SHARP ASK computers operating at 9600 bits/sec o HP-SIR computers operating from 2400 bits/sec to 115.2 kbits/sec Physical Specifications: o Serial PCMCIA Infrared Adapter: - Height: 5 mm (.19 in.) - Width: 54 mm (2.1 in.) - Depth: 86 mm (3.3 in.) - Weight: 30 g (1.1 oz) o Wireless Infrared Transceiver - Height: 25 mm (1.0 in.) - Width: 61 mm (2.4 in.) - Depth: 58 mm (2.3 in.) - Weight: 80 g (2.8 oz) o Cable Length: 1 m (3.2 ft) Operating Environment: o Temperature: 0(degs)C to 55(degs)C (32(degs)F to 131(degs)F) o Relative humidity: 0% to 95% Agency Approvals: o This device has not been approved by the FCC. This device is not, and may not be offered for sale or lease, or sold or leased until the approval of the FCC has been obtained. o FCC Class B Certification is pending.

They all said "V.34", so I presume they are V.34 only and no V.FC (too bad--I still have some 28.8K connections--especially the one here at USC--that are V.FC and not V.34). I leaned toward the MHz long ago because I like/want the convenience of the "XJack" and everyone here liked either the MHz or the AT&T with their ThinkPads. I now see that there are a *lot* of other Mfgrs. that appear to have licensed the XJack-type design. So two questions: Anyone know where I can get a MHz XJack 28.8K PCMCIA modem for a good price? and (2) are there any other brands anyone recommends that are cheaper and also use the XJack-type design?

After resolving the disk geometry problem by manually telling Linux the drive geometry (boot: ramdisk hd=1571,16,63) I was able to proceed with the installation and noticed some strange results from Linux's fdisk. The linux fdisk seemed to get confused by the partitions that I had laid out when I installed Warp. Here's the initial configuration I tried: Type Partition Purpose Size P 1 OS/2 Boot Mgr 1 MB P 2 OS/2 Warp 269 MB P 3 Linux (/) 100 MB E 4 Extended partition L 5 Linux swap 20 MB L 6 Linux (/usr) 100 MB L 7 Linux (/home) 280 MB Type: (P = Primary, E - Extended, L - Logical) Linux fdisk complained about all of the non-logical partitions, a typicial complaint looked like: Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 379 757 1568 409248 5 Extended Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?) phys(783,0,1) logical(756,0,1) Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings phys(783,31,63) logical(1567,15,63) Partition 1 does not end on a cylinder boundary phys(783,31,63) should be (783,15,63) There were similar complaints for partitions 2, 3, and 4. Curiously it also seemed to get the partition numbering confused. What it thought of as partition 1 didn't correspond well at all to what I set up for the Boot Mgr. In fact it labelled /dev/hda3 as the partition for OS/2 Boot Mgr. On the other hand the info. for the logical drives looked fine. I suspected that perhaps the OS/2 fdisk was not careful about putting partitions on cylinder boundaries (although this would seem strange). OS2 (and DOS) fdisk don't give nearly the control (or feedback) over cylinder layout as does the linux fdisk. Throwing caution to the wind I decided to go ahead with the install anyway after tagging the Linux partitions with Linux swap and Linux native as appropriate and verifying that OS/2 was still looking at the partitions correctly. The rest of the install went quite well (I did get complaints about there being more than 1023 cylinders and that some software might not deal with this well). There didn't seem to be any problems actually writing to the drive beyond the 1023rd cylinder. On reboot however, I was not able to get either the OS/2 Boot Manager or the boot disk to properly find the boot block. I had originally NOT done a DOS format of the Linux partitions and OS/2 Boot Manager seemed to want that done. Furthermore the linux boot diskette that was created at the end of the install simply couldn't locate the superblock under any of the different file system types. Since this point I've tried several other things: 1) Partitioning using Linux fdisk -- bad idea OS/2/DOS get quite confused. 2) Tried different parition sizes to try to get OS/2 and DOS fdisks to create partitions on cylinder boundaries. None of these were successful as far as Linux was concerned. Again it seems odd that the OS/2 and DOS fdisks wouldn't automatically create paritions on cylinder boundaries... So perhaps linux is just confused. 3) Partitioning with OS/2 fdisk and formatting the Linux partitions with DOS format first. I no longer got a complaint from the Boot manager when I tried to boot Linux, but it wasn't able to boot from the parition either... 4) Tried to copy the boot image from the think-pad boot floppy (which I got from peipa.essex.ac.uk and had been using all along) but I couldn't find the image in the root partition (I expected to see /zImage or something similar but didn't) so I couldn't pursue this avenue any further. Any ideas on where this kernel is and what it's called? I suspect I'm seeing symptoms of several different problems, but first off I'd like to figure out how to resolve the seeming conflict between Warp and Linux regarding the partion table for an 810 MB Sigma Drive. Any feedback on this problem would be greatly appreciated. One thing I haven't tried yet is using the OS/2 2.1 Boot Manager code I'm not certain there's any difference, but since the Linux documentation explicitly talks about booting Linux from the Boot Manager I know it can be done. One other thing that I haven't tried is ditching the Boot Manager and just using LILO, but my preference is the Boot Manager at this point. THANKS! -Brad. From ???@???

John - There is mention in the Warp User's Guide of video corruption when using a TP750 with a monochrome LCD display. I believe the recommended fix is to install the OS/2 video drivers off the Thinkpad Video Features Disk. I would be happy to forward the appropriate pages out of the manual, but there might be a better way... I recall a few recent posts from Wes Dunaway in which he describes the same sort of trouble on a machine similar to yours. I think he was finally able to resolve the problem through the use of different video drivers, possibly those off the latest Video Features Disk. In any event, I think Wes will be able to help you here. Are you listening, Wes?? _________________________________________________________________ Karl E.

This has been used for a long time to get around the limitation of 1024 cylinders and/or 16 heads in some DOS or BIOS data structures. My understanding is that if you are using several different operating systems on one disk, you have to use the same disk geometry for each of the operating systems. You can't tell one OS that it has 16 heads and another one that it has 32 heads, because then the disk partition table (which marks partition offsets in terms of cylinders, sectors, and heads rather than absolute sectors) will be wrong for one or the other. So if Linux can't deal with > 16 heads, you have to somehow reformat/reconfigure the disk to make it look like it has fewer heads, and then start all over with the installation, making sure that both OS/2 and Linux see the same geometry. If Linux doesn't read the new disk geometry correctly, you may be able to fool it by telling LILO what the new geometry is. Good luck Keith Moore From ???@???

I'll try calling them tomorrow. Ron. I have since found someplace that includes them in their ad, and apparently pretty reasonably priced. Worldwide Technologies has an ad in the most recent Windows magazine. (Which, I might interject, I bought because the cover seemed to insinuate there was something about the new Dilbert screensaver inside. Instead there was a totally non-funny column/prediction by Scott Adams and _one_ Dilbert cartoon. Kiss my fanny, Windows magazine) Anyways. They list 4 companies. One, Seagate, I will not bother with as all their drives are 19mm high. John Kim has said in the past, I believe, that the drives need to be 17mm or less to fit in the case. They are also (a) more crappily prices and only half of those are listed rather than "CALL" (xlation: price sucks) and (2) 16ms. They have what is probably the best bet for a case-swap manuver, IBM drives. 250M is $284, 340M is $374 and 520M is $524. ($1.136, $1.10 and $1.008 per megabyte, if you care) Access speed not listed. They list a larger range of Toshibas, which I will simply list by meg/price: 126/199, 213/275, 258/295, 340/344, 524/524. All are 15ms. Do your own math, but the bottom line is if you're gonna shoot for 500M like I am, price is the same, give or take 4M. There is one Quantum IDE listed: 256 for $345. Phooey.

It had flash memory so the software can be updated. I have seen these - they don't say xjack and they look different in a way I can't put my finger on. After having this megahertz for 6 months now, I've come to the conclusion that what I'd _really_ like would be the xjack which came out on a wire or flexible plastic and let me use it w/o interfering with other cards. Or even just a hinge w/ about 30 degrees of flex would be sufficient. Maybe when megahertz makes a combo ISDN/28.8k they'll use my idea..... From ???@???

A Power Macintosh. I stumbled into having (sort of) a Classic II over the last few days, and though I'd *never* trade in any of my PC equipment for one of these underpowered pieces of junk, the higher-end Macs are awfully yummy... ;) Needless to say, if I *do* switch over, I will have to maintain a good degree compatibility with Dos/Win systems, as that is where all of my software (and virtually the rest of the entire world) is located. I'll definitely keep my ThinkPad (indefinitely) and perhaps even my desktop PC for some amount of time (though I'll be robbing it for parts, so there won't be much left), but ultimately, will probably come to rely on either SoftWindows emulation or a Houdini II card (486-DX2 chip on a card) for most of my DOS/Win stuff. For the most part, I'll try to gravitate to native PPC apps though. I just think that Intel may be heading for a dead end--CISC chip technology is aging, and though we don't know what architecture the P6 will use yet, I'm guessing it will be yet another CISC chip. And I'm very impressed with the Mac OS. I've always been a naysayer and skeptical toward Macs, but it is clear to me that they are the only ones that *really* do the object-oriented GUI *right*.

I haven't bought a machine just yet... Delighted. Re: the mac os. _Windows_ multitasks better. You'd be better off with OS2 if concurrent processing is at all important to you. Re: RISC Boy am I sick of the love affair everyone seems to have with RISC these days. It's NOT necessarily inherently better than CISC. There are several techniques for removing the useless pauses in cycles on CISC ships (the major speed advantage in RISC chips). Furthermore, RISC chips have some disadvantages (less addressing modes, MUCH harder to write compilers for) and some tradeoffs (storage space, needed RAM). Don't get me wrong - RISC has some real advantages. It's just not a panacea. You can easily make a RISC machine run as slowly as a CISC. From ???@???

I also have some observations / questions about Warp installs on the 750. In the following discussion assume that the hardware configuration includes a dock II, Sound Blaster AWE-32, PCMCIA modem and Ethernet cards. 1) The dock II's SCSI irq is normally set to 11. This in turn conflicts with the irq that OS/2 uses to detect a status change on PCMCIA slots 3/4 (i.e. in the dock). This means that a different IRQ is needed. Can any of the IRQ's in the configuration stated above be shared? (You will see why later.) FYI: Also note that the installer doesn't detect this conflict and you loose the CDROM after the install finishes. (This took me a long time to figure out!) 2) The Crystal Semi drivers that ship with warp don't manage the dock's audio correctly. In this I mean that the normal drivers (windows or os/2 which shipped with the Thinkpad) disables the speaker in the pad and sends the sound through the dock. What occurs with the Warp drivers is that the gain of the pad's speaker is much greater than what is coming out of the dock. Thus you can't really hear the dock's audio! Another problem with Warp's drivers is that they turn the TP's audio to full every time a sound is played. It would appear that the author assumed that you would use the OS/2 volume control and not the f5/f6 keys. If the thinkpad's drivers are used, I don't think it is possible to get sound to work with windows. Is this true? (Maybe it's a don't care as I should be using the AWE for the dock at all times!) Is it possible to write a REXX program to change the multimedia configuration? (i.e. switch system sounds between Digital Audio 1 and DA2?) 3) The AWE requires an interrupt, but I ran out. What I did was to allocate the parallel port's irq to the second PCMCIA controller (in the dock). For the Ethernet, I utilized Com2. This left the modem without it's own irq. It should be possible to share com1's irq, assuming that you don't need to use both at the same time. This didn't work. For the modem I was forced to disable com1 in the pad and let the modem map to com1. 4) The mouse gain sucks. <- period There have been a number of people on the Compuserve tp forum which complain about trashing their red buttons in less than a year. In addition they are the same people who state that the cover is too slick. I would point out that they are the same people who use OS/2! It would appear that the OS/2 model is one of low gain with a high acceleration. It's not what I am used to with normal windows setups. I looked at the new Microsoft Intellepoint driver. It comes with an OS/2 driver. Has anyone tried it? -- Scott A. Stratmoen | strat@ast.dsd.northrop.com | (708) 259-9600 (ex 24762) From ???@???

This was my first experience with OS/2. What does one do for applications which interact with the hardware (i.e. terminal emulator, fax send/receive, backup/restore and networking). In the past I used Delrina's WinComm/WinFax, Central Point Backup and Frontier's SuperTCP (also Exceed's X for windows)? I found ZOC (V2.01) and it would appear to be a useful terminal emulator. Faxworks which comes on the bonus CD appears a little weak. For backup/restore I am forced to boot under dos and continue to use Central Point's product. IBM's full network package at ~$500 is more than I am willing to spend. Can anyone suggest lower cost alternatives? What really comes on the OS/2 developer's CDROMs? Thanks! From ???@???

A MAC!!! I'm an old DOS/Windows person, who is now working in a Mac lab, and is therefore spending lots of time using them as well. I installed Warp on my thinkpad three weeks ago. Mac hardware is top quality, and these days, quite reasonably priced. The MAC os is easy to use, but is *tremendously* limited. You can do anything you want on a mac, as long as 10000 other people want to do exactly the same thing, so that it is worth it for some guru to write the software. Software is generally expensive and limited MAC's used to have the advantage of a single platform, and therefore guaranteed software and hardware compatibility, but with all the new hardware coming out, this is no longer the case. Getting software to work on all the macs in our lab is just as hard as it is in the intel world. As far as I'm concerned, OS2 warp has all of the advantages of the mac OS, but none of the limitations (except for limited software availability). It is somewhat more difficult to configure, but it can be customized to deliver maximum performance for each application. The interface is also infinitely more customizable than either word for wienies (WFW), or Mac system xx. The tests in PC magazine suggest that warp is slower than WFW on win16 apps, but not by much, and it is much faster than NT in everything but disk access. I do not have any software that I cannot get going under OS2, including games that never worked under windows. Because of the stronger memory management features, I have found that WFW crashers like Mathematica for Windows run *better* under warp, and when they do crash, it doesn't crash the whole system. I strongly doubt that houdini vaporware will do as well as warp in dos/windows support, considering Apple's lack of experience, and who knows when that will come out. Past experience suggests that windows 9x will be pretty buggy until windows 9x.y comes out (who knows when), and 9x win16 support sounds like a hack job. NT is a slug, unless you need the security functions, and from what I've heard it's dos/win16 support is not perfect either. As far as chips, the powerPC platform standard is not yet implemented on a machine as far as I know. When it is, you can be certain that IBM will get OS2 going on it. Presumably, when the standard platform is implemented, both OS2 and mac system xx will work on both IBM's and macs. But once again, how long can you hold your breath? Obviously, I'm sold on warp, but I am very annoyed at IBM for advertising "internet access" but then leaving out the trivial amount of extra software required to interface with an ethernet system. To buy the appropriate add-on software to do this (basicly an NDIS stack) costs more than Warp itself! I also wish there was more native OS2 software available. *Disclaimer* The above tirade is based on personal experience, a bit of research, and anecdotal evidence. There are surely many in this group who can correct me on technical details. ------------------------------------------------------------ Victor Kress Carnegie Institution of Washington, Geophysical Laboratory 5251 Broad Branch Road N.W.

Is it good enough (as is Windows) to do that? That's about the most multitasking I ever do. I'm not interested in the famous OS/2 feat of formatting floppies while you download... ;) As some of the list already know, I have used OS/2 in every incarnation except 3.0/Warp. I have been very disappointed every time. Frankly, it suffers from lack of drivers (though that is being rectified) and worst of all--lack of software (and no, I see no point to using OS/2 just to run my Windows software). Most of the major apps I use don't have OS/2 versions and likely never will. PageMaker, Adobe Photoshop, Aldus Freehand, MS Excel, (Ami Pro is in OS/2, so I'll make an exception there). In my view, OS/2 will forever be relegated to a tiny, niche market that is much, much smaller than the 10% the Macintosh pulls in. That means no apps and few drivers. That view has held true for a number of years now. Its a shame too, because as you say, OS/2 is great. Only problem is that its an orphan too. Aldus turned their back on them. WordPerfect walked away. Microsoft (of course) did, and Lotus probably *would* have if they weren't so desparate to stay in the game. Lotus is the only biggie they have left, and from all appearances, SmartSuite doesn't particularly sell like hotcakes on the OS/2 platform (at least Ami Pro has a respectable showing in Windows). > Yes, I do admire the power PC, but really significant tests (by the Matlab > people - see their latest newsletter) don't show any real speed advantage ov > the Pentium (give or take a floating point Bug !!!). The power PC seems about Would you mind commenting more here? Was the PPC using native code? Most of the Mac Sys 7.5 has PPC extensions & many major vendors have written native PPC code already. This means the chip's capabilities are starting to actually be used. I don't know of *any* x86 software that has been recompiled to take advantage of the Pentium's capabilties, as has been suggested by Intel--this after 1 1/2 years of Pentium systems on the market. The PowerMac has been on the market for what--9 months or less? Nearly every major app on the platform already has PPC native code out and available. > twice the speed on my thinkpad. The current windows emulator on the power PC > a complete dog. (286 speed). Partly true--and it only runs Win in Std. Mode. It emulates a 286, but not at 286 speed. Actually its speed is about the same as a high-end 386 or low-end 486. Insignia solutions has a full license agreement and access to Windows code from Microsoft, and claims to have a 486-emulator nearly ready to run SoftWindows in Enhanced mode and at a faster rate. Their license also extends to Windows95. Perhaps they'll make it better. Meanwhile, you can also get a 486-chip on a card and literally have two different computers under the same hood.

True, it is an interim step to getting code native to your operating system, but in the case of OS/2--there isn't any.

IBM has been talking about making a PPC machine for a year now-- and still don't have a box put together yet, much less an operating system to run on it. With the exception of the industrial market where the 601 is being used to replace their old "Power" chip, they haven't a clue what to do with PPC. I'd look to Motorola putting a machine together with a PPC chip in it before IBM does. And you better believe Motorola's machine won't be running a PPC version of OS/2--it'll be running a PPC version of Windows NT. > Kind regards > > Rob Ballagh Thanks for the input, Rob. ----- ________________________________ Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu | Y'know, Tuna just | USC School of Business (Fight on, 'SC Trojans!)| doesn't taste the same | (My opinions are mine, but since I'm | since they took the | right, they should be yours too.) | Dolphin out! | -------------------------------- From ???@???

Well the rumors from a reliable source (ie, Intel), are that the P6 will be 4 - P5's (Pentium's) on a single substrate. It will still be a 32-bit chip, albeit a 4-way multi-processor. Initially, Intel started developing the P7 to be a true 64-bit CISC chip. Although Intel likes to call their architecture RISCified because it contains pipelined instruction units, they are essentially classic CISC architectures. The conserative (Intel) estimates calculated somewhere in the order of 16 million transistors for a 64-bit CISC chip. Intel decided to punt this behemoth, and started romancing Hewlett Packard's VLIW (very large instruction word) design team. VLIW is essentially RISC on steroids. The idea behind VLIW is that you have many RISC instruction units in parallel. The HP/Intel P6 supposedly has 18 such units. Like current RISC architectures, this design decision places a large degree of the technical difficulties on the compiler writers. The compiler for a VLIW machine must sequence the RISC instructions so they do not violate data dependencies. The VLIW P7 will of course _not_ use an X86 instruction set. Intel intends to provide backward compatability through instruction set macros. VLIW is a natural evolution of RISC, and a very exciting technology. I sympathize with Intel's curse of backward compatability, and applaud this rather dramatic decision. | Robert George | Army Research Laboratory | | robertg@assb01.arl.mil | AMSRL-SS-IC | | Voice: (408) 656-3316 | 2800 Powder Mill Road | | Fax: (408) 656-2814 | Adelphi, MD 20783-1197 | A designer knows when he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. -- Antoine de Saint-Exupery From ???@???

This is good speed-wise with documents less than 3 pages, but you will spend more time waiting for a release from the word processor. There may be a way to make it spool more to memory, but the ones we use at work do little in the way of large print jobs, so they're untweaked (if in fact they are tweakable) > I mean if you are a programmer doing massive re-compiles while > you edit some other piece of code, then by all means--OS/2 is for you! > The rest of us have minimal need for multitasking. Well, I dunno. If you're doing any networking, it can be valuable. I often have 3-8 tcpip client windows open at once (WWW, telnet, gopher, ftp, archie, news) and often leave one xfering data to watch other stuff. I guess it's a personal thing.... > True, but speed isn't one of them. No, but the speed advantages are in operations that involve passthrough, shifting and addition. Start doing mult. and you're up to CISC speed on that instruction, and memory addressing is, if I recall, limited to one mode: register. (just checked: correct) I don't mean to sound like I'm bashing RISC - it's impressive, though I don't want to write compilers for it. It's just that I wanted to mention where the speed gains are achieved, because Intel has already worked on increasing the piplining in the 80x86 series, (They can call it the P5 all they want, it's still an 86...) and I think they're working on implementing variable length clock cycles. So the CISC platform is not necessarily going to be left in the dust by the PowerPC chip... > Sure--just watch a PowerMac emulate Windows. ;) Heheh. The add-in board is an excellent solution to that. I'm normally disinclined towards emulation, but you can't beat the price on the Houdini board (or whatever they're calling it now). From ???@???

My friend had a PowerMac and a beta of Insignia's SoftPC and SoftWindows. I brought a bunch of DOS/Windows software over to try it out and everything ran (granted I didn't have enough time to try to crash the system). The real surprise was when I loaded a copy of Wolfenstein 3D (didn't have DOOM with me at the time). It ran. At 1 frame/sec, but it ran. _____________________________________________________________________ |\_____________________________________________________________________\ | | | | | John H.
