Re: Installation story
Sorry! I have a ThinkPad 750P. 16MB RAM is on the way as well. I did have
to do some serious man-handling of the drive connector because of the
different offset of the pins to the case WRT the IBM drive. The operation
is not for the squeamish. I was pleasantly surprised that no BIOS setup
was required after swapping drives - the computer just used the thing.
I also wrote that the drive is louder. Well it is louder during use, but
it is more quiet than the IBM drive when idling. It also makes a click a
couple seconds after use as if parking the head without spinning down.
A question I should know the answer to: Is it possible to start Win95 on
my monitor (at 1024x768), then unplug the monitor and have it switch to
640x480 without restarting?
