Hello. My name is Wesley Dunaway. I'm a student at Furman University and a new subscriber to the ThinkPad 750 mailing list. I have a TP 750 monochrome with a 170 MB hard drive, a 16MB RAM expansion card, and an Intel 14.4/14.4 Faxmodem. I also have a Port Replicator I. I use OS/2 2.11 and will soon be upgrading to Warp. I have a few questions that I would appreciate input on. I understand that these matters probably have been covered before, but again, I am new. Question 1: There seems to be much discussion regarding replacing the ThinkPad's internal hard drive with other, non-IBM models by opening the exterior case and installing the new drive. Has anyone done this successfully? I would appreciate knowing the manufacturer and model of the replacement drive you used. Has anyone had any bad experiences with IBM support after this seemingly warranty-voiding operation? Question 2: Has anyone found OS/2 video drivers that are faster than the ones shipped by IBM? Maybe someone out there has written drivers. :) The list seems to encompass some technically minded people. I'm using version 1.32 of the IBM drivers with an external monitor at 800x600x256 resolution, and they seem rather slow. Question 3: Has anyone figured out a way to use the ThinkPad's internal audio subsystem with Win-OS/2? Question 4: Has anyone installed Warp on a TP 750 yet? Are there any installation pitfalls I should know about? Again, I would greatly appreciate answers to these questions, and I'm sorry if they have been answered before. Wesley T.
