I have it installed on a 760ED...the only problem I had was that after Partitioning and formatting the HD in FAT32, the machine refused to let me install the CD-ROM driver diskette (DOS) so that I could install the Windows95 OSR2 from CD. I copied the CD driver files and config.sys and autoexec.bat commands manually onto the HD, and then it installed OK. You need the HIMEM.SYS file, and the Device=HIMEM.SYS also on the HD, since it runs a version of SCANDISK that requires it at the beginning of install. Depending on the particular machine, note any peculiarities from IBM. For example, on the 760ED it is necessary to go with Custom Install, and remove the S3 Video device drivers from the list of equipment. This was true in the original W95 as well. All of the IBM drivers and features installed without difficulty. Regards, Richard At 09:29 AM 1/17/97 GMT, you wrote: > Has anyone upgraded a Thinkpad to the new Windows 95?
