Hi Friends New to the list. Name is Harry, and I use a Thinkpad 701C with 8MB/360MB, a Megahertz XJ2288 PCMCIA modem, and an Adaptec SlimSCSI APA1460A PCMCIA card attached to an external HD system and CD-ROM. I'm a doctoral student in Biology at Syracuse University, and the Thinkpad is my primary research tool. We had a major problem with the machine about 2 weeks ago when we hooked up a Logitech EZ-Scan handheld scanner to the Thinkpad and our old APA348 SCSI host adapter. Apparently, the Logitech parallel-port "black box" sent power into the host adapter and fried it. It took the purchase & installation of the APA1460A to demonstrate that the Scanner fried the old APA348, but not before we lost the c:\windows directory and several others (like FaxWorks) during a re-install. Logitech denies that the EZ-Scan power unit is responsible, but that is a totally expected response. Anyway, I do love the 701C, and until 2 weeks ago, I've never had any kind of problem with it. I'm looking for copies of FaxWorks and any other Thinkpad-bundled software, since we lost all of the original stuff in the crash. Does IBM replace them for registered users? Thanks Harry Syracuse, NY
