I just switched from running Warp on my 701 to running Win 3.1. My display
is set to VGA. When I tried to set it to Super VGA 640x480 256 colors,
Windows
would not boot. What is the highest resolution I can have on my 701 and
what do I need to do to set it that high? Do I need drivers other than those
that come with Win 3.1?

Thanks for the input so far. I should perhaps stress that what baffles me
is the SPORADIC disappearance of the modem! In other words, all programs
are configured to look for the modem in COM1; Windows terminal ALWAYS
sees it; other comms programs OFTEN DO NOT (but sometimes do!) - I tested
ONE single program at a time (i.e., DOS, WIN, comm program - and NOTHING
else running) and the result is ridiculous: it appears that the modem
disappears RANDOMLY... (But never, ever with Windows terminal - which no
one in their right mind would use, anyway!) Any other suggestions?...

Thank you (Eric Wong) for your input about your PCMCIA SCSI card. At last,
I know that it is possible to have it working with Win95 drivers on a TP750
! So, there is definitely a problem in my configuration (monochrome TP750
with the same BIOS as yours), and I should try a complete reinstall of
Win95... whenever I have time.
However, there is still one thing that I do not understand. Two days ago, I
saw a TP701 with Win95 in a computer shop. I looked into the device
manager, and noticed that (in "by connection" mode) the "PCMCIA card" stuff
hung under "P&P BIOS". On my TP750, it hangs directly under "Computer",
which sounds correct as the BIOS is not supposed to support plug-and-play.
Now, how comes that the PC card can still be hot swapped and is correctly
detected, including attached disks ? What is the P&P BIOS for ? Dos anybody
on the list know about it ?

A friend just acquired a 701Cs and (knowing that I'm a long-time owner
of a 750, but ignorant of the fact that I am almost computer
illiterate!) asked me why she's having so much trouble with the
internal modem. Well, *I* certainly don't know - tried to figure it
out, but failed miserably. Anyway, Windows Terminal ALWAYS recognizes
the modem, but Trumpet MOST OF THE TIME replies that the modem is not
responding... Same thing is true for other comms programs: sometimes
the modem simply vanishes!... Any suggestions?... Thanks.

I had internal modem woes but IBM service informed me that there is a
problem with the modem. Since the 701C is discontinued I don't expect any
fixes. My solution is simple: move into a pc card 28.8. All better now,
and the speed is up to boot...

The internal modem in my month old 701C has been an angel. No problems like
missing modem or the sorts. I'm actually using it in Malaysia and though it's
slower than the 28.8 that I use on my office desktop, it's speakerphone
feature is neat.
Eventhough the 701C is discontinued (is it???), don't let IBM off if you've
got nothing but a semi-working modem. The warranty is 3 years (irrespective
of whether the product is still on the market or not).

I think the problem you're facing is because you're using Windows's generic
VESA Super VGA drivers which don't work with a lot of machines. You'll
need the Chips&Technology 655XX drivers for Windows 3.1 which is obtainable
from ftp.pcco.ibm.com in /pub/mobiles under the filename VW701321.EXE .
The highest that I've gone on my 701C is 640x480 64K colors, which the manual
says will actually increase battery life an extra 10 minutes compared to
running it at 640x480 256 colors (which is my preferred mode).
Hope that helps... bye.

Dear All,
I have just discovered, and subscribed to, this mailing list, and I was
encouraged to introduce myself..... so that is what I am doing.
I bought my ThinkPad 755CX4 (the cut price one with the 640x480 screen and
no DSP chip) about five months ago and have spent most of the time since
gradually getting my operating system(s) sorted out. For those that aren't
sure that has a 75MHz Pentium processor, 8Mb of RAM, 540Mb disk and a 10.4"
TFT 640x480 (the 755CX1 is the same but has 800x600 screen and DSP chip
giving modem and sound).
When I got it I was quite keen to get to grips with OS/2 Warp, but
unfortunately the TP was delivered (brand new) with about 4.5Mb of EA
checkdisk files already on the disk and OS/2 was basically trashed. To cut
a rather long story short I now have OS/2 Warp Connect which is nearly
sorted out to let me use the LAN at work and use a ppp dial in connection
when I am at home or travelling. Unfortunately all this takes a heavy toll
on memory so I upgraded by 8Mb so I now have 16 Mb.
As if that wasn't enough I allowed a friend to persuade me into creating
another disk partition to install Slackware Linux, so I now have about 400Mb
for OS/2 and another 140Mb or so for that. Getting that installed wasn't
too bad (I don't have a 2.88Mb floppy drive) apart from the fact that I was
installing from files downloaded to my HPFS OS/2 partition and we had to
create a new kernel to let it read HPFS. What we are still struggling to do
is getting XWindows to work. It seems to run (judging from the processes
reported by ps), but the screen goes blank. I am currently working through
what seems to be an enormous lot of info (on the Web) on Linux on the
ThinkPad to find what the mode settings should be (most seems to apply to
slightly different models - usually dual scan), but if someone can tell me
the answer I would be very grateful!
OK, that's quite enough to bore anyone so I'll sign off now.
