Hi there, I am owner of an IBM Thinkpad 755 c with the following equipment: HARWDWARE: Thinkpad 755C 340 MB HD 1,44 MB FD 10 " 640x480x256 TFT Display 20 MB RAM IBM Dock 1 SOFTWARE: Slackware 3.0 AccelratedX 1.3 from Xinside (works out of the box) PCMCIA: 3C589B 3com etherlink 3 Worldport dual standard USR modem Nokia cellular datacard for mobilphones Adaptec slimscsi AHA1640 since yesterday I am using that system in combination of win95 and Linux Slackware 3.0. I have used a combination of scsinet1 boot and pcmcia root floppies using NFS as installation media. The installation was very simple, but after installing the system I need to put the start of the pcmcia card services in /etc/rc.d/rc.M before the start of the cdrom check. After starting the card services there must be a delay of 5 to 10 seconds. That means that I add a sleep 10 statement after the pcmcia start command. Now the cdrom and the 3c589b works fine for me. The modem ist untested yet. But the default Linux 1.2.13 kernel comes up with some floppy related problems. I am not able to read via tar files form /dev/fd0. But a later version aof the kernel may fix this problem. During the next days I am trying to implement PPP via modem and cellular phone to the laptop. The in house lan connection is fast and stable. Now I am urgently looking for a solution for the following problems: 1.) The floppy did not work anymore (ugly). 2.) A source hack for the sound card. 3.) A source hack for the SCSI controller included in dock 1 I would prefer source hacks for stable kernel version i.e. 1.2.13 or 2.0 if possible. If not, well I should ba able to patch the source tree by hand if I have hot an example patch. Who is able to help me ? -- Freundliche Gr|_e, Best regards, Michael H|hne ==================================== Michael H|hne = ____ = Lt. technische Vertriebsunterst|tzung = / / / ___ ___ _/_ = Email: Michael.Huehne@Germany.EU.net = /---- / / / / /___/ / = EUnet Deutschland GmbH = /____ /___/ / / /___ / = Emil-Figge-Str. 80 === === D-44227 Dortmund Germany === Connecting Europe since 1982 === Tel.: +49/231/972-1071 Fax.: -1122 #include <disclaimer.h>
