Re: User & Technical Reference Manuals for TP750 series (750Cs?)



If anybody has any luck on TP manuals (especially TP755CX), please
let me know, too.  I wanted some information to help in using the
800x600 display, APM, and DSP with Linux.  I spent more than eight
hours on the phone (much of it on hold), and talked to over a
dozen IBM'ers, and got very little information.  

Apparently, there is a reference manual, but it is designed for
people doing component-swap sort of hardware maintenance.
Here is what I learned from one IBMer who was friendly:

| There is a Technical Reference manual for each of the ThinkPad
| models, but it doesn't go into the level of detail that you
| require, partly to prevent users from hosing their system.

I did have some success in getting documentation from Western
Digital, on their WD90C24 video controller chip.  However, it is
not as much help as I would have hoped, since I don't know how the
chip is configured in the TP755CX.
