The Readme file is nearly identical with 2 glaring omissions in the recent version. One is that the earlier versions makes mention of the drivers being applicable for the 750, 755 and 360 range of Thinkpads whereas the recent version only mentions 755. Since the video system in all 3 models run on the same chip I wonder if this is just an typographical omission and not one of substance. The other omission is that the earlier version mentions creating a SVGADAT.PMI file in "5.0 Setting Up an External Monitor on a Laptop Computor" by booting a DOS diskette and running the Vesa driver in your harddisk boot partition. I tried this but forgot my C drive was formatted with HPFS! I dont't know the purpose of this PMI file, now it seems to have been left out of the later version's docs. I will skip 755WD101 unless someone can verify it runs on a 750. Moreover the APARs mentioned at the end of the two readme files are similar both in number and in kind.
