First time, the 755CX broke within 2 months of usage---the display had to be completely replaced. Because it happened in the UK, I had to pay about $100 to get the machine to and back from IBM, and lost a week's usage. This time (4 months after purchase), the hard disk broke completely (lost about 10 days of work). An engineer came out, took the hard disk with him. Got me a replacement hard disk within a week. Get this: the replacement came without a system. So, I got a copy of MSDOS and started building the system. Unfortunately, the 755CX is not compatible with plain Windows for Workgroups (the mouse is moved, the hard disk locks up). No go---I need to start again. So, I spent the last 5 days, calling the service engineer, calling 5 1-800 numbers through which was rotated around for hours, and I finally found out that there is a recovery disk (from Paul Rubin from this mailing list). But of course, IBM wants $50 to ship me the CD-ROM. If I do not have a cd-rom, I can now pay $100+s/h to ship the *entire* computer (not just the HD) to IBM, and I will get it back sometime. It is not so much the money, but the way IBM is handling this---after 10 days of no machine usage, I have to spend not only time and effort to get the base machine back to how I bought it, but I also have to spend money. What a fabulous 3-year on-site warranty! Now, I hope that when the CD-ROM arrives, it will need to run off a PCMCIA installed MSDOS system, and replace it. This will be an interesting experience in itself... Well, I am going to recommend Toshiba next... /ivo From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Thu Feb 15 17:16:39 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA27278; Thu, 15 Feb 96 17:16:39 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id RAA12340; Thu, 15 Feb 1996 17:13:11 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.4); Thu, 15 Feb 1996 17:12:40 -0500 Received: from sparty.surf.com by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id RAA12266; Thu, 15 Feb 1996 17:12:37 -0500 Received: from sandy.sandy.com ([206.14.89.139]) by sparty.surf.com (8.6.12/CN-CONFIG-0.3) with SMTP id OAA29796; Thu, 15 Feb 1996 14:11:47 -0800 Message-Id: <2.2.32.19960215221140.006be114@surf.com> X-Sender: sandy@surf.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.2 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Thu, 15 Feb 1996 14:11:40 -0800 To: ilh@goldilocks.lcs.mit.edu From: Sandy Meltzer Subject: Re: thinkpad 760c speed Cc: TP750@cs.utk.edu >I guess my primary question to you all is should I expect such a large >drop in performance going from a 90MHz pentium desktop machine (PCI bus >I guess) to 120MHz pentium laptop w/o PCI? It would seem that the >thinkpad's bus and memory are a lot slower (perhaps for power reasons). Hi Lee, I think it's a combination of factors; bus speed, support chips, memory size and cache design, bus design (VLB vs PCI), disk speed (controller design and hard drive), video design and support memory, etc. that generally cause laptops to "benchmark" slower compared to similar desktop system. I guess this is the price of miniaturization. Based on most of the computer magazine "Windows" benchmarks I've read (i.e.Winstone, Wintune, etc.), today's fastest laptops still appear to be about 25%-50% slower compared to the fastest desktop systems with similar configurations. If you read these benchmarks carefully, you will see that desktop and laptop performance varies within a specified range of results and often overlap (fast laptops may actually be faster then slower desktops, but are ALWAYS slower then the fastest desktops). On the other, slower laptop benchmark scores doesn't necessarily mean that the "perceived" speed we see during actual use "appears" that much slower. Obviously, depends on your application. In you case, your Unix test program clearly shows the performance difference between laptop and desktop systems...probably a worst case situation. Frankly Lee, you might want to confirm that there is actually a 120MHz Pentium under the hood. ;-) The real problem here is marketing. Manufacturers will say and do anything to sell their laptops and, unfortunately, many magazines "go along with the program" to maximize their revenue from these advertising dollars. Not necessarily false advertising, but the ads are presented in such a way that leaves readers (you and me) the impression that a particular laptop can easily replace your desktop system - therefore it must be as fast or faster. Might be true depending on the quality of your desktop machine. Personally, I don't expect the fastest desktop performance from my ThinkPads, but overall I've been VERY pleased with their "perceived" performance running the applications I bought them for. I'm sure all of this doesn't make you feel any better about the performance of your 760C. _\//__ --Sandy / _ _ \ ( @ @ ) +-------.oOOo--()--oOOo.-----+-------------------------+ | InterNet : sandy@sandy.com | Reflections By Design | | Web Page : www.sandy.com | Web Design & Production | | Location : Cupertino, CA | Info?

My 2nd and current one, a 755CSE has had it's screen die 3 times now. In each case I had to spend weeks kicking and screaming until repair people would get a new screen and fix it. The same is true this time. The 2nd time I would call the Boulder parts center every day and get the work order reraised to the highest priority. I sure didn't feel like a customer, IBM had pretty much baffled itself into silence. The 1 day service is a joke(call and back it and they'll say 3 days). And onsite costs extra. I just drive to the fixit place now and sit there while they replace the screen. With this go around I'm 10 days into it and haven't seen a replacement yet. At least the IBM warranty system decided to quit replacing just the screen, and replace the components that may be causing the screen to fail so frequently. Would I buy a Thinkpad again? The extra money you pay "because it's an IBM" counts as $0 extra value to me, thus probably bumping out IBM. Because I don't see IBM Service as any better than the rest. The 800 tech support number doesn't have a clue... It's a shame because the hardware is sooo good!

I take the laptop in, they diagnose the thing, order the parts, I go back a few days, weeks, months later, and they replace the part. Since I'm on 24x7 call and need the laptop all the time, this suits me. These repair places do get a lower prioriry for parts than EasyServ however. Hence the Boulder calls to get my priority bumped up.

When I called, the first thing that the customer support guy told me was to boot windows, to which I proudly responded "I don't have windows"... After a long pause, he came back and asked "What are you running?" and I said Linux and DOS. a couple of silent minutes passed (I think I heard some frantic paper shuffling on the other side) and the guy told me to go to DOS and use DEBUG... He wasn't even sure what to do, but his directions where perfect and to the point. (I just had to send a software reset to the modem).

Does that make sense? One thing to consider is that some of the power-saving modes ratched the CPU *way* down (like, to 1/16th speed). I don't know how this all works with the TP, but with my 755cx "the impression I have" is that settings are as they were last set by the DOS/Windoze tools. When I set the screen blank or hyper-nate settings from Windoze, they seem to persist across reboots to Linux (I boot Linux only via DOS, so perhaps there is some effect there). Anyway, it might be that you're in a power-saving slooooooooow mode. Worth a look, at least.

I called 800-LAPTOPS this morning and asked for an RMA. They gave it to me with no fuss, no muss, and no wait. Perhaps it's different if your product is malfunctioning due to pilot error rather than physical defects. Now for a query: I use my 755cx away from my desk quite often, but I have a Dock II which is home to, among other things, a PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter. I've got a piece of a T-3 at my desk, and I run a background E-Mail Notify under Win95. (I know. I'd run NT if MWave and all the other goodies were an option.) I'd like to have E-Notify loaded automatically depending on the dock state of the machine. (If the machine is docked, it should load. Otherwise, forget it.) Obviously '95 can detect dock state. The question is, can I make it load one startup group for docked, and another for undocked? Can you think of another way to do this automatically?

As long as we're on the subject, let me put out a warning... DO NOT--under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES--buy a Practicial Peripherals PCMCIA modem! I made that mistake--the EZ-jack-thingy wouldn't stay in (kept popping out) and the modem was improperly grounded. PPI sent me a replacement under warranty, and I sent the previous modem back to them. The problem: The replacement modem had the grounding thing fixed, but *it's* EZ-Jack wouldn't stay in either! THEN--PPI had the GALL to CHARGE me $500 for the modem they shipped me, even after receiving the old one back! It eventually got worked out, but it *really* pissed me off. Finally, they send me yet *another* modem to replace the second replacement and I sent the second replacement back. This time, the modem appeared to work properly, but I didn't take any chances--I sold it immediately and replaced it with a new Megahertz modem (with the *original* X-Jack--and I'm very happy with the functionality/quality of the Megahertz, thank-you). Then--AGAIN--PPI was so screwed up that they CHARGED ME for the 3rd replacement modem even though I had sent them back their second replacement! $500--sheesh! List price! Absurd! I initiated a credit dispute with my Visa issuer, and PPI eventually got their act together and fixed issued a credit for the charge they levied on me. In total, this all began (waiting for a replacement modem and sending in the old one) last April and is only now--in February--finally getting all cleared up. Practical Peripherals is *clearly* a very screwed-up company. I have made a conscious decision never to buy another of their products again. No wonder they're in bankruptcy restructuring. ----- Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu http://www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle USC Graduate School of Business "Did you really think you could call up the Devil and ask him to behave?" -Fox Mulder on T.V.'s "X-Files" speaking to an occult practitioner From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Fri Feb 16 15:55:30 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA22948; Fri, 16 Feb 96 15:55:30 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id PAA08468; Fri, 16 Feb 1996 15:52:09 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.4); Fri, 16 Feb 1996 15:50:19 -0500 Received: from ns.connectnet.com by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id PAA08265; Fri, 16 Feb 1996 15:50:14 -0500 Received: from max-lj-54.connectnet.com (max-lj-54.connectnet.com [204.252.3.54]) by ns.connectnet.com (8.7.1/Connectnet-2.2) with SMTP id MAA08421 for ; Fri, 16 Feb 1996 12:49:45 -0800 (PST) Received: by max-lj-54.connectnet.com with Microsoft Mail id <01BAFC6D.3DF4D400@max-lj-54.connectnet.com>; Fri, 16 Feb 1996 12:49:42 -0800 Message-Id: <01BAFC6D.3DF4D400@max-lj-54.connectnet.com> From: Joshua Gerber To: "'TP'" Subject: RE: thinkpad 760c speed Date: Fri, 16 Feb 1996 12:49:34 -0800 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Thursday, February 15, 1996 2:11 PM, Sandy = Meltzer[SMTP:sandy@surf.com] wrote: >desktop systems...probably a worst case situation.

What a fabulous 3-year on-site warranty! Whoa, Does 3-year on-site or the other guarantees apply outside the continental USA? On-site or off warrentee repairs have been better than any other vendor I have had to deal with. I have sent TP350, TP360, TP701, TP750, and TP755s out for repairs or called for on-site service with no confusion or service delays. All have taken 3 days or less under warrentee and less than one work week out of warrentee. On site has always been same day so long as I have placed the call before 1pm. I can not say the same for _any_ other company. Not Dell, Micron, Gateway, Toshiba, nor Zenith. I have not had the pleasure of dealing with some of the other contenders such as Compac or HP. Guy W.

Use the /b switch, it will save you time. PCMCIA works fine, and there is SVGA driver. Mwave support is said to be going into beta soon, and IBM has said they will support NT in the future.

Reply-To: phong@synapse.net Priority: normal X-Mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.23) To all who repsonded, Thanks for your quick reply, but maybe I should be a little more specific about my configuration and where I find the slowdown. Configuration: IBM Thinkpad 755CX with MWave Telephony & SVGA screen (800x600) 16 MB IC DRAM card 3COM 3c589 Ethernet Card Performance Degradation: 1. Upon start-up, the machine works like a charm - no performance issues. 2. MWave Connection @ 14.4 kbps - no performance issues. 3. MWave Connection @ 28.8 kbps - NOTICEABLE PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION! Since I installed the Win95 resource kit, I started up the system monitoring utility to see what happens when I connect at 28.8 and 14.4 respectively. When connected at 28.8, my CPU utilization OFTEN peaks out at 100%! This is no lie! However, I can barely make the thing peak over 70% if only connected at 14.4 kbps. I think I know the culprit but cannot verify this. I think the problem is that MWave when connected at 28.8 kbps cannot handle WAV sounds and is heavily taxed. While I don't miss my sounds (didn't have it under WFWG 3.11 @ 28.8), I was wondering if there was a way to automatically turn off the system sounds when I connect at 28.8. Once again, thanks! ...patrick P.S. Prior to my upgrade, I almost hesitated because everyone was talking about suspend problems with Win95 and the 755CX. I have had no problems whatsoever on this issue, but there is one quirk about the Shutdown menu. I cannot "Restart the computer in MS-DOS mode" as the machine always boots up the GUI. ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- From: "Patrick Hong" To: tp750@cs.utk.edu Date: Sun, 18 Feb 1996 20:36:44 +0500 Subject: Thinkpad 755CX & Win95 Performance... Reply-to: phong@synapse.net Priority: normal Well, I finally bit the bullet and upgraded my 755CX to Win95. First off, I want to say that my upgrade (or downgrade, depending on how you look at it) was necessary because I was sick of rebooting Windows everytime after using Excel or MS Project with Winfax Pro. While hoping that the installation would help the stability of downloading files through the 32 bit Winsock driver, I noticed that the performance of the system slows right down. The menus from the Start button respond slowly and is sometimes aggravating! I upgraded my home computer and didn't notice this performance degradation. I was wondering if anyone else and noticed this effect of Win95 on their 755CX. Thanks for all your assistance! ...patrick ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick Hong Systems Management & Consulting Inc. phong@synapse.net (613) 769-1544 Tel phong@connectinc.com (613) 728-4063 Fax ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick Hong Systems Management & Consulting Inc. phong@synapse.net (613) 769-1544 Tel phong@connectinc.com (613) 728-4063 Fax ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Mon Feb 19 11:39:00 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA07028; Mon, 19 Feb 96 11:39:00 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id LAA25842; Mon, 19 Feb 1996 11:33:31 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.4); Mon, 19 Feb 1996 11:32:26 -0500 Received: from conductor.synapse.net by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id LAA25699; Mon, 19 Feb 1996 11:32:23 -0500 Received: from Thinkpad (violin-08.synapse.net [199.84.52.230]) by conductor.synapse.net (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA07366 for ; Mon, 19 Feb 1996 11:32:19 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199602191632.LAA07366@conductor.synapse.net> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Patrick Hong" To: tp750@cs.utk.edu Date: Mon, 19 Feb 1996 11:40:12 +0500 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Subject: Thinkpad 755CX & Win95 Performance... (Part 2) Reply-To: phong@synapse.net Priority: normal X-Mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.23) To all you who read my earlier messages!!!! I just finished doing some testing and guess what? I had the "Utopia" sound scheme configured on my notebook and that caused the performance degradation! After I switched back to "Windows Default", everything seemed fine! Well, I guess the sounds really tasked the MWave chip but the funny thing is, I don't understand why it even tries to play sounds when connected at 28.8. So in summary: 1. Performance Degradation due to Sound Scheme (other than Windows Default) 2. MWave Audio is available when connected at 28.8 but slows the system down considerably. 3. If you need sound, connect at 14.4, otherwise 28.8 for speed.

Alex [Image] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- copyright 1996, Canada Computer Paper Inc. Extremely High Drool Factor IBM's ThinkPad 760CD Notebook Sparks Techno-Lust By Jeff Evans IBM recently announced its latest ultimate dream notebook computer - a 120-MHz Pentium-based notebook that incorporates the industry's largest, 12.4-inch active matrix screen, 24-bit (16.7-million) color palette, MPEG-2 high-resolution 30 frame per second full-screen digital video, digital-signal processor audio, quad-speed CD-ROM, tiltable ergonomic keyboard, NTSC and PAL video input, optional video digitizing, overlay and output, 1-gigabyte hard drive, up to 40 MB RAM, and a 28.8-kbps internal fax modem. The system weighs about three kilograms (seven pounds). A slimline, lighter version, without provision for the CD-ROM drive, is also available. The ThinkPad 760CD is now IBM's top-of-the-line multimedia notebook. According to company representative Kevin McKee, "The initial shipments are spoken for, but production is running at a high level, and we expect to have an ample supply." IBM's premium ThinkPads, while too expensive for the average computer user, enjoy a "robust market" among corporate computing power users. Communications professionals and sales and management personnel who need to make business presentations on the road will find the ThinkPad 760CD's multimedia muscle highly useful. Out Of The Box We had the use of a 760CD for several days at the TCP Test Labs, and here's what we found: When you open up the lid, the first thing you notice is that the keyboard shifts position (though it's not like the "butterfly" keyboard of the IBM 710 subnotebook, previously reviewed in The Computer Paper - the 760CD is a full-sized notebook). This keyboard simply tilts upwards at the rear to give the user a more comfortable angle for typing. There is a good-sized palm rest area at the front of the keyboard, and the cursor is controlled via a TrackPoint II pointing device. Two small stereo speakers are located to the left and right front of the keyboard. There are also outputs for attaching speaker cables. One very nice user feature is a small LED screen at the left top of the keyboard, which shows battery status, disc activity, and other information. The screen seems enormous. It almost fills the entire inside lid of the notebook -more than 12 inches on the diagonal, almost all of it truly usable, so the result is very close to a 14-inch monitor. (The viewing angle of most 14-inch CRT-based monitors is actually closer to 12 inches.) The active matrix screen is one of the brightest and crispest we've ever seen, and makes it a pleasure to work with. This comes at a price, though: with the screen turned up to full brightness, and with constant disc access, battery life is only a few hours. However, with a variety of power-conserving measures (such as turning down the screen and reducing hard-drive access), battery life can be greatly lengthened. As well, the ThinkPads have one of the best power-management routines in the industry. We left the unit on overnight, and after a few minutes it went into a suspend mode. When we went to use it the next morning, the screen popped back to life, with all the correct files displayed, and the battery charge had only dropped a few percent. This feature, by itself, sets IBM's notebooks apart from most of the competition. The internal 28.8-kbps modem leaves both PC card slots open for other devices, and there is a plethora of telecommunication soft ware included. The Windows version includes FaxWorks, TranXit infrared file transfer, CompuServe and America Online signup kits, IBM Online Housecall, and Lotus Mail Mobile. Networking is also supported, with a copy of IBM's NetFinity. Modular to the Max Our test unit came with an internal CD drive, which we decided to replace with a floppy drive to transfer some files. The switch involved lifting up the keyboard, pulling out the CD drive from its connector, and popping in the floppy drive. This took about three minutes, two and one-half of which were consumed by me insisting on powering the system down and then powering it back up. Movies to Go The most spectacular capability of the 760CD is the hardware support for MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group) video. The unit we tested came with only 8 MB of RAM, which was enough to run Microsoft Office and Windows 3.1 or OS/2 Warp fairly comfortably. If you wish to run Windows 95 and multitask easily with some demanding applications like Corel Draw 6, however, you'd be well advised to invest in at least an extra 8 MB of RAM. Like other ThinkPad models, the 760CD is well engineered and easy to use. It comes with both Windows 3.1 and OS/2 Warp preloaded. A Windows 95 option is expected to be added shortly. Lest this review be entirely favorable, we did look hard for something to criticize. Hmm. Well, it was a bit of a nuisance to have to swap the CD drive and the floppy - it would be best to have an external floppy with this system, to ease routine file transfer. Even if inelegant, this would be very handy, and I'd prefer it to taking the machine apart constantly. As well, you may want to buy a spare battery to extend the lifespan of the 760CD when a power outlet is not readily available. Aside from that, we couldn't find much wrong. This is the notebook to beat in the first quarter of 1996. And the Envelope, Please - Yipes! Depending on configuration, the ThinkPad 760CD costs between $7,799 and $10,999. All models come with a three-year warranty. Contact: IBM Direct, 1-800-465-7999. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [back button] Back to Table of Contents...

Greetings fellow Mariah fanatics, Here's a story I found on the Net that you folks (and our good friend from the Mass. Government who is spying on us) might find interesting. I just thought I'd share it with you. :) THOSE WERE THE DAYS by the Grand Clavister "Grandpa, tell us about the Innernet!" "Ah, I've told you about it a hundred times already!" "Tell us again... please!!!" "Well, what do you want to know?" "Is it true that you could see the human naked body?" "Oh, you could see a lot of things in those days, kids. Why, when I was a young man, if you, for instance, wanted a picture of a woman covered in her own feces having sex with a giraffe, all you needed was a computer and a telephone --" "What's a telephone, Grandpa?" "Now don't interrupt! You interrupt again and I won't tell you anything!" "I sorry." "Now, as I was saying, if you wanted a picture of a woman covered in her own feces having sex with a giraffe, all you needed was a computer and a telephone. And wasn't no one's business no-how why you wanted it!" "Did you masturbate to the picture, Grandpa?" "Well, now who says it was _me_ that wanted that picture? Anyhow, just about anyone could get just about anything through their computer system... it was all for the asking on the Internet... all until the Telecommunications Restriction Act. And it got worse the year they appointed President Chicken!" "Was that the year the music died, Grandpa?" "No, kids, that was 1999, when Michael Jackson bought the rights to all music everywhere. I'm talking about 2001, the Millenium. That was the year that President Gramm got shot, and his Vice President, a chicken, got inagurated. Everyone thought it was really funny when Gramm appointed a chicken to the position of Vice President, and when he had Vice-President Chicken stand on a rotating turntable so it looked like he was dancing, but it wasn't nearly so funny when the chicken got made President. That was the year the Trust Legalization Act got passed." "But how could a chicken be President, Grandpa?" "Read your history books, boy! They'd put a copy of the bill in front of the chicken, and they'd cover the bill with feed, and if the chicken pecked at the bottom where you're supposed to sign, then they took that as his approval, and they made the bill a law! That's why everything in this house, and this house, and the power that's running our surveillance system, and the water substitute in the sink, and the clothes some of you are wearing, and the clouds in the sky and the clouds in the river and Fluffy and Conchita the maid are all stamped with the OWC logo... because all is OWC." "One World Corporation, right, Grandpa?" "Not so loud, boy. They'll switch on the AI bugs." "What's a turntable, Grandpa?" "Never you mind, child. It's something from long ago." "Is that all you know about the Innernet, Grandpa, or should be put you back in the capsule?" "Well, some people used it to trade ideas and thoughts --" "I don't like ideas and thoughts, Grandpa: Teachoid says they lead to indi.. individibal behavior! And that interferes with the efficiency of the community and the corporation. Amen." "They really teach you good down at the school, don't they?" "I dunno, Grandpa. I just sleep for 8 hours, and then come home." "Well, the Internet was a wonderful thing, back before they started restricting it. It was a way for everyone to express themselves and be individuals. It was a way that everyone could be free." "But nothing is free, Grandpa, are they?" "Not anymore, child. Not anymore." -- -- Wind to you wings, -Commander Sirius ______ _.--~~""":"-`-----'`---._ Sirius T.

Didn't encounter any problems though, it does require some interaction from the user, especially the part on sliding the power switch, which IMHO is to prevent pranks from writing a program that will just blow away our BIOS.

I'm currently using an IBM Thinkpad 360Cs, 12 megs of memory, 170 megs of disk. My operating system is OS2 2.11. The only problem I have with it is the very limited autonomy I get when I'm home. I can hardly do word processing for more than 45 minutes, which is less than I expected. So I have to bring the 5 pounds :-) adaptor with me! My concerns about Thinkpads are not technical however. Maybe this list is not for me? I'm more concerned about the rapid evolution and the management of that kind of technology. We are working in a highly normalized and decentralized environment and it is very difficult to test a thinkpad and be sure it still in the market when our tests are over. We had bad experiences in the past. How do you address such a problem? If this list don't address this kind of issues, feel free to tell me!

When I find it, I'll post it. The best way to do this is to pick up "TweakUI" from the PowerTools on Microsoft's Win95 pages. It gives you a nice interface to that resource as well as a number of others. If you're running 95, visit the Power Tools site. Cheers, ssh -- Steve Hultquist Worldwide Solutions, Inc.

Now if the Fn key is detected while lid closed, box goes back to sleep. New/Changed ----------- Eliminated hibernate memory checksum. It can be reinstated if necessary through special key sequence Fn+Left Arrow followed quickly by Fn+Enter. This allows for quicker hibernation. If power management is turned off through APM interface, the CPU will not automatically be clocked down on battery power. 3M Fixed ----- Closed all PCMCIA IO & Memory windows in POST so that warm boot will not leave phantom COM ports. Will power off if eject is requested and an external video card is present. Reset the Manufacturing Diskette everytime through POST. Saved/Restored the BitMask Register & Set/Reset Enable Register so that Japanese video modes are not corrupted after a resume. New/Changed ----------- Changed Win95 PnP code to meet Win95 logo requirements by eliminating the reporting of DMA on the ECP parallel ports Changed the way devices are reported through PnP. A new device node is only created if the address or IRQ of a device changes from docked to undocked or vice versa. Added new TrackPoint III option 'Auto' that will automatically enable or disable the TP III based on whether an external mouse is attached. Enabled the ability to hibernate to an existing HPFS hibernate file. ------------------------------------------------------------------ To: Paul_Ferguson/Tessera.TESSERA @ tesent.com (Paul Ferguson/Tessera) @ SMTP, christij @ unix.asb.com (Joseph Christie) @ SMTP cc: tp750 @ cs.utk.edu @ SMTP (bcc: Paul Ferguson/Tessera) From: whittle @ usc.edu (Randy Whittle) @ SMTP Date: 02/20/96 03:03:43 PM Subject: Re: 701 bios upgrade question At 9:46 PM 2/19/96, Paul Ferguson/Tessera We have installed the 3O BIOS upgrade to 10-15 701CS machines without >incident.

The IBM service guy started ripping out the insides of the computer, while I pleaded with him to try another adapter. He kept saying he was the engineer and knew what the problem was. However, he did eventually conclude that the adapter was broken. And now my question - does the Mwave 2.1 package for Windows 95 on the IBM ftp server work in The Netherlands? I had a big headache reverting to Mwave 1.x after I tried to use Mwave 2.0 here. I don't want to make that mistake again. I've got a 755CD and the local telephone adapter.

To make it work in the Netherlands you have to install the Thinkpad World Trade DAA disk Mwave 2.0 (daa_200d.exe).

Although it has nothing to do with the AC Adapter in my case. Eventually it was determined that the DCDC Controller Card was at fault. V.  * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Vince B.

Reply-To: phong@synapse.net Priority: normal X-Mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.23) To all you who have problems with the AC power supply on the 755xx series, I am reposting my previous message. Hope this helps. ...patrick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My client has several IBM Thinkpad 755XX models and the AC adapter has been problematic on a few. The answer to your question is however that your Thinkpad more than likely is working just fine. The problem is with the tip of the AC plug that attaches to your Thinkpad. It is a removeable plug that IBM normally replaces. If you can't afford the time to drop into an IBM service depot, just use a pointy device and wedge the end off. The contacts on the side of the plug need to be crimped outward a bit and then just reattach the plug back into the socket. I experienced this problem first hand and watched them repair it. Like I said, they normally replace the part but if you can't afford the time, it's something than can be easily accomplished in 2 minutes. By the way, if anyone has a loose display panel on their 755XX model, don't wait to get it tightened. While it is possible to tighten the display panel yourself, it can be troublesome to get the cover off. It's best left up to the IBM techies who can do it within 10 minutes. No need to drop off your machine, as they can repair it on site. The reason for tightening the display? The technician said, if it gets any looser, it could damage the hinge mechanism. I watched them tighten my 755CX on-site and noticed the 4 screws which required tightening. Consider yourself warned! :) Hope this is helpful... patrick ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick Hong Systems Management & Consulting Inc. phong@synapse.net (613) 769-1544 Tel phong@connectinc.com (613) 728-4063 Fax ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Wed Feb 21 15:37:06 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA00445; Wed, 21 Feb 96 15:37:06 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id PAA26454; Wed, 21 Feb 1996 15:32:44 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.4); Wed, 21 Feb 1996 15:30:11 -0500 Received: from wired.com by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id PAA26012; Wed, 21 Feb 1996 15:30:07 -0500 Received: (from kensey@localhost) by wired.com (8.7.3/8.7.3) id MAA20566; Wed, 21 Feb 1996 12:29:51 -0800 (PST) Date: Wed, 21 Feb 1996 12:29:51 -0800 (PST) From: Doug Fairclough To: tp750@cs.utk.edu Subject: pcmcia modem & pcmcia ether battle Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII i shouldda bought a combo, but thought the mwave dsp would be robust enough for all situations ;) so, i got a pcmcia modem and a pcmcia ether. if both are loaded, the pcmcia ether doesnt work (but the modem ~does~). anyone else ever experience this ? i'm on a 755cx running win95 on 24MB of ram. thanks ! doug From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Wed Feb 21 15:39:22 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA00771; Wed, 21 Feb 96 15:39:22 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id PAA26700; Wed, 21 Feb 1996 15:34:47 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.4); Wed, 21 Feb 1996 15:34:01 -0500 Received: from wired.com by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id PAA26593; Wed, 21 Feb 1996 15:33:58 -0500 Received: (from kensey@localhost) by wired.com (8.7.3/8.7.3) id MAA21038; Wed, 21 Feb 1996 12:32:28 -0800 (PST) Date: Wed, 21 Feb 1996 12:32:27 -0800 (PST) From: Doug Fairclough To: "Roger J.

I also discovered they are not all the same. First one ....Model AA19210 I bought my TP755 in Jan 1995, it came with AC Adapter Model AA19210. = The TP end of the plug was a 4-pin jobby, with +ve, -ve, grd & Input = Signal connections. In June 95 I discovered there was a recall on this = unit (for date codes <9452) so I thought I would have it replaced. Six = months and many calls later I received the replacement unit (There are = many advantages to to living in Vancouver, B.C. - dealing with AC = adapter recalls is NOT one of them). Second 0ne...FRU P/N 85G6689 This adapter was the new model, I was advised by IBM/Canada, shipped = with all new TPs ( a scary thought in retrospect). It was great at = first, thin wire to the TP, sexy Velco strap, etc... Unfortunately I = discovered that if you use the Thinkpad FUEL utility to cycle the NiCd's = as we all do, or, try to recharge them AFTER starting Windows (Win 95 in = my case) surprise, surprise it will not recharge. You have to power it = down and let it recharge 'cold'. I did not notice this before as I am = fortunate to have a Dock II in the office. Being keen of eye I looked = at the little schematic on the unit and found it to have only 2 = connections +ve, -ve, but no Grd or Input Signal leads. In fact if you = are careful you can remove the 4-pin 'square' plug at the end to reveal = the two connections. We also have some 360s which use this unit but = with the cocentric 2-conductor plug (which are a pain). I presumed the = Input Signal connection must do something and called IBM/Canada. With = the help of an extremely helpful IBMer I managed to get one of the = older, but functional units. The third one....FRU P/N 49G2196 This one works just fine, has schematic indicating 4-pins, recharges = like it should, is a bit bigger than the second one but it works.

It was obvious someone had opened the box and replaced whatever was there with something that looks exactly like what you describe above except it's a P/N 85G6670 or FRU P/N 85G4952. This one runs on 100 to 240 volt AC mains and all you need for another country is the proper mains cable. I haven't had any trouble using the fuel gauge power cycle from Win 3.1. It does get a bit hot but the small size more than makes up for that. I imagine the reason IBM supplies it with world's shortest mains cable is to make sure it stays out where air can circulate...

Yes. I had mucho problemos setting up a PCMCIA Modem and PCMCIA Ethernet in 95 when I first got it. Sounds like your problem is due to shared resources. i.e. the two cards are trying to use/share one resource. Try disabling the Infared and other non-essential devices to give extra IRQs, and then move the IRQ of one of the cards to something else. If this doesn't work then mail back with the models of the cards and I'll have a snoop some more (BTW with my SMC pcmcia ethernet the Win95 Driver from SMC solved most of my problems).

PC Week Online (February 20, 1996) - RALEIGH-DURHAM, N.C.--IBM today offered further glimpses at future technology, including an attache-sized notebook computer and a revolutionary "paper-white" monitor. As they finished up a two-day PC briefing here, company officials also disclosed several consumer computing initiatives planned by IBM, as well as the existence of a "breakthrough" network computer design. The decision to pull open the veil of secrecy and offer outsiders a peek at still-unreleased technology is part of a strategy designed to pre-empt competitors with novel computer features, according to executives, who said IBM planned to accelerate the pace at which it brings new technology to the market. Features in the ultralight notebook computer IBM showed are still a moving target, but the unit will debut before the end of the year, said Steve Ward, general manager of mobile computing. The unit's dimensions are 8.5 inches by 11 inches by 1.25 inches thick. It weighs about 4 pounds and was shown with a 12.1-inch thin-film transistor screen. When the unit is introduced, sandwiched between IBM's "value" 300 and "performance" 700 series notebook computers, it probably will come with an 11.3-inch screen option, Ward added. The prototype unit was running Windows 95 with 8M bytes of RAM and a 1G-byte hard disk. The CPUs will be Pentiums, starting at 100 MHz and going up, depending on heat dissipation. "We will watch the heat very closely," Ward said, noting the unit's smaller-than-normal enclosure. IBM has developed several ultralite prototypes, including a similar one code-named Kite, said Ward.

I have a ThinkPad 755C and a Dock II docking station. I have a reasonably nice NEC MultiSync XE17 monitor attached to the Dock II. However, I have been unable to date to get the monitor to display at anything other than a 60Hz vertical scan rate. Is it possible to cause an external monitor attached to a Dock II and TP755C to display at a more reasonable scan rate, such as 72Hz?

I have a reasonably nice NEC MultiSync XE17 monitor attached to the Dock II. However, I have been unable to date to get the monitor to display at anything other than a 60Hz vertical scan rate. Is it possible to cause an external monitor attached to a Dock II and TP755C to display at a more reasonable scan rate, such as 72Hz? This is mostly a question of software. IBM's drivers for Windows will not do better than 60Hz at 1024x768; for OS/2, they claim this rate but in fact deliver 43.5Hz interlaced. The hardware will do better, though: I'm running it at 70Hz using Linux.

I am using TP750Cs without docking station. Sometimes the TP will be attached to a SONY Multiscan 15sf monitor. Running Windows 95 at VGA mode flicker is noticeable. At 800X600 256 color and the flicker is pronounced. Someone told me to try the IBM video utility to change to higher scan rate configuration. After tuning it becomes flicker free even at 800X600. I've tried 1024X768 but the rate cannot go beyond 60Hz. The flicker is still noticeable. So I stick to 800X600 instead. The utility program will insert the line below into the CONFIG.SYS. It runs before Win95 loads itself. I haven't tried OS/2, though. The video utility version is 1.33 dated 12-05-94.

I found this mail when I was doing house keeping, sort of deleting old mails. This is the answer. It is almost impossible to make it half year ago. I'd been looking for the correct cable or adapter but there was none. Cable vendors simply do not make that kind of cable or adapter. And the various SCSI connectors make life more difficult. I am not so sure about the part name description. Please correct me if wrong. The basic device: A.The Panasonic PC-CARD has a 50pin condense SCSI male connector. B.KXL-D720 CD-ROM drive has one 50pin condense SCSI female connector. C.Zip drive has two DB25 female connectors. I have bought the following three device to make the connection: D.one 50 pin condense female to 50pin SCSI-1 male adapter E.one 50pin SCSI-1 female to DB25 male adapter F.one SCSI cable, one end is DB25 male connector and the other end is a 50pin condense male connector. Then the cable from the PC-CARD cable connect to adapter D-E then to Zip drive. From another port on Zip drive use cable F to connect it with the CD-ROM. The connect sequence is A-D-E-C-F-B. Termination on ZIP drive is OFF, id can be either 5 or 6 as long as it doesn't conflict with the CD-ROM. Termination for the CD-ROM is ON. (click the DIP switch 4 at the bottom of the CD-ROM to ON position) Turn on both drive before goes into WIN95. That's it. All the cable and adapters are Taiwan made products. No part number is available. I could find them in electronic parts stores both in Hong Kong and Singapore now. The cable is the most expensive at around US$30. Both adapters between $15 to $20.

She said it would be atleast another week before they got to it and she claims they are working around the clock (meaning 24 hours a day) 7 days a week. what happened to IBM's claimed 3 day turn around policy? who can I write to at IBM to complain? I'm a college student and I bought an IBM figuring that if it ever broke down I can have it fixed in 3 days so I wouldn't miss it much. but I guess I was wrong. I haven't been able to do my homework or my labs for the past two weeks, if I flunk this semester will IBM reemburse my tuition? I think not! anyone got a email address to someone important at IBM so I can send them a complaint?

If so, it might work in a 755. I don't know how the 360 series works into this. I think 360 memory is non-parity (won't work in the 750, which needs parity), but can use parity memory - it just won't use the parity feature. -- John H.

I am using TP750Cs without docking station. Sometimes the TP will be attached to a SONY Multiscan 15sf monitor. Running Windows 95 at VGA mode flicker is noticeable. At 800X600 256 color and the flicker is pronounced. Someone told me to try the IBM video utility to change to higher scan rate configuration. After tuning it becomes flicker free even at 800X600. I've tried 1024X768 but the rate cannot go beyond 60Hz. The flicker is still noticeable. So I stick to 800X600 instead. The utility program will insert the line below into the CONFIG.SYS. It runs before Win95 loads itself. I haven't tried OS/2, though. The video utility version is 1.33 dated 12-05-94.

When i took my computer into "Connecting Point" in LA off of LaBrea and Wilshire. ....I'm telling you the place so your STAY AWAY from them... It took the 2 months to get it back to me! Not only that but they lost both of the keys to it and the IBM service tech had to 'break-in' in order to get to fix it, all repared of course. I've only had excellent service with EZ-serve. I've had my 750 in for repiar twice and both time it can back in 4 days or less. :) One time with a new keyboard and cat's tounge. BUT I you want walk-in sevice, if you call 1-800-772-2227 they have an a customer service person that tells you where the nearest service center is...

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

At last, I know that it is possible to have it working with Win95 drivers on a TP750 ! So, there is definitely a problem in my configuration (monochrome TP750 with the same BIOS as yours), and I should try a complete reinstall of Win95... whenever I have time. However, there is still one thing that I do not understand. Two days ago, I saw a TP701 with Win95 in a computer shop. I looked into the device manager, and noticed that (in "by connection" mode) the "PCMCIA card" stuff hung under "P&P BIOS". On my TP750, it hangs directly under "Computer", which sounds correct as the BIOS is not supposed to support plug-and-play. Now, how comes that the PC card can still be hot swapped and is correctly detected, including attached disks ? What is the P&P BIOS for ? Dos anybody on the list know about it ?

The internal modem in my month old 701C has been an angel. No problems like missing modem or the sorts. I'm actually using it in Malaysia and though it's slower than the 28.8 that I use on my office desktop, it's speakerphone feature is neat. Eventhough the 701C is discontinued (is it???), don't let IBM off if you've got nothing but a semi-working modem. The warranty is 3 years (irrespective of whether the product is still on the market or not). -- George In gin@base.pl.my From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Tue Feb 27 06:15:51 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA17654; Tue, 27 Feb 96 06:15:51 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id GAA28412; Tue, 27 Feb 1996 06:15:03 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.4); Tue, 27 Feb 1996 06:11:26 -0500 Received: from relay2.jaring.my by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id GAA28112; Tue, 27 Feb 1996 06:11:09 -0500 Received: from base.UUCP (root@localhost) by relay2.jaring.my (8.7.1/8.6.12) with UUCP id SAA28328 for TP750@cs.utk.edu; Tue, 27 Feb 1996 18:30:48 +0800 (MYT) Message-Id: <199602271030.SAA28328@relay2.jaring.my> Received: from base by base.pl.my (UUPC/extended 1.12b) with UUCP; Tue, 27 Feb 1996 18:19:34 GMT From: George In To: "Julie A.

I think the problem you're facing is because you're using Windows's generic VESA Super VGA drivers which don't work with a lot of machines. You'll need the Chips&Technology 655XX drivers for Windows 3.1 which is obtainable from ftp.pcco.ibm.com in /pub/mobiles under the filename VW701321.EXE . The highest that I've gone on my 701C is 640x480 64K colors, which the manual says will actually increase battery life an extra 10 minutes compared to running it at 640x480 256 colors (which is my preferred mode).

I bought my ThinkPad 755CX4 (the cut price one with the 640x480 screen and no DSP chip) about five months ago and have spent most of the time since gradually getting my operating system(s) sorted out. For those that aren't sure that has a 75MHz Pentium processor, 8Mb of RAM, 540Mb disk and a 10.4" TFT 640x480 (the 755CX1 is the same but has 800x600 screen and DSP chip giving modem and sound). When I got it I was quite keen to get to grips with OS/2 Warp, but unfortunately the TP was delivered (brand new) with about 4.5Mb of EA checkdisk files already on the disk and OS/2 was basically trashed. To cut a rather long story short I now have OS/2 Warp Connect which is nearly sorted out to let me use the LAN at work and use a ppp dial in connection when I am at home or travelling. Unfortunately all this takes a heavy toll on memory so I upgraded by 8Mb so I now have 16 Mb. As if that wasn't enough I allowed a friend to persuade me into creating another disk partition to install Slackware Linux, so I now have about 400Mb for OS/2 and another 140Mb or so for that. Getting that installed wasn't too bad (I don't have a 2.88Mb floppy drive) apart from the fact that I was installing from files downloaded to my HPFS OS/2 partition and we had to create a new kernel to let it read HPFS. What we are still struggling to do is getting XWindows to work. It seems to run (judging from the processes reported by ps), but the screen goes blank. I am currently working through what seems to be an enormous lot of info (on the Web) on Linux on the ThinkPad to find what the mode settings should be (most seems to apply to slightly different models - usually dual scan), but if someone can tell me the answer I would be very grateful! OK, that's quite enough to bore anyone so I'll sign off now.

I'm a little disappointed in the paucity of IBM documentation for much of these down-and-dirty setup type programs: 1. Does anyone know about the command switches for mwave? I'm trying to understand mwave.bat, and can't tell the difference between "start" and "on", or what "reconfig" is for, or what "show" and "noshow" do in parameter 2 place. Similarly, what do I need to diddle in mwgames.bat? 2. When and how does one use the ibmadvesa advanced vesa support? I tried running tpadvesa.exe, but it said it was already running, even though it's not in autoexec.bat. 3. Should one run dos's power.exe, or is that redundant with those other two strange autoexec lines of v7320.exe (or something like that) that seem to be power managers? 4. Has anyone succeeded with running 11th Hour? 5. Does ps2 hfile_c need to be run each time you reboot? I understand it creates the hard disk memory map for sleep, but the size of it shouldn't change with each boot. 6. There are other similar arcane lines in the original autoexec.bat which I hesitate to remove, since there's no documentation. Thanks.

I've been using this Thinkpad 755CD since June '95. Presently configured: Win95; 16mb ram; 810mb disk; 28.8 MWave 2.0 modem (although I've only had marginal success with 28.8); 2.88mb floppy (it was a replacement by IBM when the first 1.44 bit the dust!). Generally very satisfied w/the machine, service, etc. Win95 still seems to find an extra device in the device manager section which IBM can't figure out - but it doesn't harm anything. I haven't had any difficulties with Win95, Netscape or most of the problems I've been reading on comp.sys.laptops - maybe I'm lucky!? I wonder if anyone has done the upgrade to Win95 on a 755 and noticed any problem or improvement.

Does anyone know about the command switches for mwave? I'm trying to >understand mwave.bat, and can't tell the difference between "start" and >"on", or what "reconfig" is for, or what "show" and "noshow" do in parameter >2 place. Similarly, what do I need to diddle in mwgames.bat? Parameters for MWGAMES: Usage: "MWGAMES ON" loads emulation code "MWGAMES ON PRO" loads SB-Pro I emulation code "MWGAMES ON PROQ" loads SB-Pro I emulation code w/QSound "MWGAMES ON PRO+" loads SB-Pro I emulation code w/Effects "MWGAMES ON MIN" loads emulation code w/o record "MWGAMES ON CD" loads emulation code w/line-in to CD-DAC "MWGAMES ON SAMPLES" loads SB-Pro I emulation code with sampled s "MWGAMES OFF" unloads emulation code Parameters for MWAVE: (from reading the batch file) on - loads mwdos or mwaudio depending on the configuration set my user in mwcfg (the reasons it runs mwcfg is because the error codes produced when mwcfg closes tell the batch script what bits of mwave are needed to be loaded.) show - shows the current configurations when mwcfg is run noshow - doesn't show the configurations (same as \mwd\manager\mwcfg
