OS/2 Performance Edition & PCMCIA modems in TP750




Hi all,

I finally received my extra 4MB of RAM for my Thinkpad 750, so I 
immediately installed the OS/2 performance edition that I've been waiting 
to install (actually, it's been installed on my desktop for a couple of 
weeks).  It works pretty well (even in this measly 8MB RAM), but what 
really surprised me was that the PCMCIA support recognises my IBM 
Fax/Modem (Banksia rebadged).

I had heard that it was necessary to run a DOS session with the DOS 
drivers in it and then it was possible to use COM2 from OS2 programs.  
But I didn't need to do that at all.  I installed the OS2 utilities from 
the support disk (1.2 I think) and easyplay recognised the card straight 
off.  Seems to work without a hitch (I'm using it as I type).

Anyhow, I just thought you'd like to know.

Cheers
