I have a Thinkpad 755CE and wish to upgrade the hard disk drive from 540 MB
to 1.2GB. The prices of these drives as quoted from IBM or a third party,
which include the (proprietary) caddy that houses the drive, are quite
expensive. It is my understanding, however, that the drive itself is a
standard 2.5" drive. I would like to know if anyone has had experience in
opening the plastic caddy that houses the drive and installing a 2.5" inch
drive of higher capacity. What sort of drives are recommended?

I'm running 1.2.13 (ELF) from the Slackware 3.0 distribution. The exact
problem is I run startx and get garbage on my screen (it looks like two
sets of shimmering horizontal lines, one at the top of the screen and the
other about halfway down).
Will tpdualscan fix this? Do I also need a patched XF86_SVGA?

Ok, after too long a delay I finally found the time to install OS/2 Warp
Connect on my little TP750Cs. I set the weekend aside, told friends and
relatives that I was going away for the weekend, backed up all the data,
read the manual, and sat down full of optimism... Never made it past the
first diskette! My trustworthy Panasonic KXL-D720 CD-ROM (at least it is
so under DOS/Windows) remained invisible... I tried all the tricks in my
book: from re-reading the manual to minor modifications in the config.sys;
from cursing to sweet-talking the machine into just taking a brief, brief
look at the nice little CD-ROM player sitting next to it. Nothing would
remove the cloak of invisibility from the poor Panasonic... Help! How do
I install an OS that comes in a CD-ROM when the #&@$(&? thing wont even
see the CD-ROM player? (Yes, it is plugged in, and ON!!!) Thank you, and
forgive the warped (oh, that word again!!!) sense of humour: it is the
frustration of many hours sitting in front of this machine...
PS. I seem to remember someone asking me how to do this a few months
back - ahh... Perhaps you gave up in desperation too!...

Hello,
I've owned my ThinkPad 755C for about half a year now, but I've only
recently discovered this mailing list.
As suggested by the welcome-email from the mailing list, I introduce
my machine. It has a DX4 processor, 20MB of RAM (Kensington) and a
340MB hard-drive. Most of the drive is dedicated for use with Linux
1.2.8 and portions of Slackware 2.3. The remainder of the drive is
partitioned for DOS 6.x and Windows 3.11.
I'm primarily a user of flavors of UNIX and I've been quite happy with
Linux. I've noticed that about every 50 hours of uptime, however,
that Linux continuously accesses the hard-drive for several minutes;
except for olvwm and xterm, there is no correlation with running
applications. I haven't yet figured out what processes are involved.
I am naive with UNIX system administration; if someone should have an
idea about what Linux is doing, I would like to be educated.
I recently considered purchasing another hard-drive. I provide some
brief commentary for the possible benefit of others of the mailing
list who have been mentioning hard-drive issues. An article in PC
Magazine, in August of 1995, noted that IBM substantially raises
prices on peripheral components for machines sometime shortly after
production of the machines ceases. I've verified the after-effects on
prices for hard-drives for pre-755 ThinkPads in vendors'
advertisements (about a %50 premium per MB of disk). The supply of
new 755 ThinkPads has recently been discontinued, so I considered
getting an extra drive for my future storage needs. Others looking
for reasonable prices on hard-drives may wish to confer the FAQ for
this mailing list for information on a third-party vendor (an IBM
supplier) which has arranged a discount for members of this mailing
list (cf. ftp://swiss-ftp.ai.mit.edu/archive/thinkpad/faq/ and search
for 'third-party'). I've also noticed another company advertise the
installation of Toshiba 2.5" hard-drives into ThinkPad-compatible
caddies (http://warrior.com/lock/tl750.html) at prices which are
competitive. Finally, the archives for this mailing list from the
last year contain some discussions about other experiences in
installing third-party 2.5" hard-drives, including one person who
couldn't get his third-party drive to spin-down in suspend-mode (cf.
the welcome-email to this mailing list for a URL). Ultimately, I
decided that as the need arises, I will just purchase a
removable-medium device like Iomega's JAZ drive (an external box),
which for about $725 provides 1GB of storage with disk access speeds
which are faster than my ThinkPad's hard-drive (about 5MBps). This
month's BYTE magazine discusses the JAZ drive.

Hello,
I recall that Steve Hurl* expressed, not long ago, that it would be
useful to run MS Office on Linux. I thought I might point out that
SunSoft of Sun Microsystems has Solaris 2.5 available for the *86
architecture; Solaris can run WABI, which is capable of running quite
a number of Windows applications, but only those developed for Windows
3.*. For a URL with information, goto http://www.yahoo.com and search
for 'Solaris'. BYTE magazine had a review of WABI in the summer of 1995,
encouragingly entitled 'A Less Wobbly WABI'.
(I have no affiliation with Sun.)

How can I tell the installprogram to access my harddisk (pcmcia scsi,

I have been trying to automatically process incoming posts from this
mailing list, as well. Due to the way in which my gateway/mail software
(MS Exchange) works, I continue to grow my list of possible 'To'
addresses that could be used for this list. Unfortunately, I think that
I am seeing any aliases people have defined for this list.
After two weeks, I have accumulated the following list of addresses:
tp750@cs.utk.edu
Thinkpad@cs.utk.edu
"Thinkpad List"
tp750
"ThinkPad mailing list"
thinkpad
Using this list, I have been able to catch all posts on this list in the
last five days or so. However, I expect it will have to grow. I think it
would be great if posts from this list came through with a single 'To'
address, but I haven't looked into it enough to confirm that the problem
isn't somewhere at my end of the food chain.

This is normal. The battery will only charge with the computer on
or in suspend. Dunno about hibernate but I doubt it'll charge.

Are you sure? Quoting the manual, page 69:
To recharge an installed battery pack, the computer must be
operating on ac power (that is, connected to the ac adapter)
and in one of the following power states:
o Power on
o Suspend mode
o Safe Suspend mode
o Standby mode
Note: The battery pack cannot recharge while the computer is
in hibernate mode.
Apparently to save weight, the charger's circuitry works off the laptop's
power supply or something. Are you sure your computer didn't just
auto-suspend?
It isn't really that much trouble as long as you remember to suspend
instead of power off. I hardly ever use the on/off switch anymore.

I very well could be wrong, but the battery seems to be charged when I
turn it on in the morning after I have been using it without the ac adapter.
I'll check tonight...

Or better yet get the Caldera release of linux and its application suite,
which
includes WABI and WordPerfect. It costs money, though. But trade off your
time
vs. getting useful work done.

thought I would ask again.
I have a Thinkpad 755CX (SVGA, MWave) that has a LiIon battery. I don't know
whether this is coincidence but since I've upgraded my machine to Win95, I
notice that my suspend mode only last for 6-8 hours at best. Previously with
Win 3.1 I could suspend the machine overnight without any problems and still
have time to work before I would have to plug in the adapter.
First off, I thought LiIon batteries didn't have this memory problem and that
they could last much longer than NiM batteries. Secondly, is there a way of
rejuvenating the battery? Believe it or not, I use the IBM Fuel utility to
discharge and recharge my battery on a regular basis, in the hopes that this
exact problem wouldn't occur.
Thanks in advance!

I'm attending a meeting in Germany next week, and I would like to
bring my tp750 along. My power brick is the big one (FRU P/N 49G2196)
that lists input at 100-240V~0.95-0.5A. I have a two prong German
style plug adaptor which fits the three prong gringo type on my cord
(leaving the ground line unconnected). Do I have to worry at all
about plugging my precious TP into those German lines with this setup?
I have two batteries, and I hear lots of talk about hot swapping.
Unfortunately, every time I try to swap with the computer on, the
system crashes. This is true no matter how quickly I try to swap the
battery. I thought there was some internal energy storage to keep the
machine going during battery swap. Am I doing something wrong.
Thanks

I plugged mine in (with the plug adaptor) in both France and
Switzerland with no problems...Have fun on the trip!
