You've had several responses to this so far, but one I haven't seen...have you
checked the BIOS revision level? If you have not applied any BIOS upgrades to
the machine, then the 701 will not have the Plug and Play support. Use Fn-F1
to get into the system information utility, then page down three times to get
to the right screen. The latest revision level is BUTUS3O (that's oh, not
zero). If you do not have access to the BIOS upgrade, you can get it from the
IBM PC web page. When we first migrated to 95 we had all kinds of hinky
hardware problems until we got the BIOS upgraded. Hope this helps...

Subject: frustrations with thinkpad 701
Hi all, perhaps someone can offer some assistance. I just installed
win95 (onto a clean hard disk) on a tp 701, and have the following
questions:
1.) floopy doesn't work when multiport II is plugged in; works fine
when standalone. I've tried various interrupt settings and
so forth. Any ideas?
2.) when I try to use the modem (when running hyperterminal), I select
the internal 701 modem, but then when I say dial it asks me to
"insert the modem". ????
3.) Am I correct in assuming that the serial port and modem port
cannot both share interupt 4? Or can they, as lone as one
is serial_1 and the other is serial_3 -- and I don't try to use
them at the same time?
4.) Is the floppy hot-swappable/hot-pluggable?
Thanks! I love the machine, but this sure is frustrating...
