Well, I finally managed to get Windows 95 installed on my TP750Cs -- with all of the necessary drivers -- in dual boot configuration -- so I can alternatively boot either Windows 3.1, Windows 95, or boot Windows 3.1 to load LINUX from the command line prompt. Strangely, the PCMCIA indicator LED does not light when using the MS Win95 PCIC (PCMCIA slot controller) driver. The drivers which came with Win95 seem to work just fine for the Western Digital WD90C24 video, PCMCIA controller, Adaptec SlimSCSI, and 3C589B cards. The Thinkpad audio disk failed to insert a reference to the Thinkpad Audio Driver into Win95's .INI files -- but all of the essential files were in the right place -- a manual editing of the appropriate .INI file set everything up correctly. But, I couldn't find an MCI device control driver for audio volume which could be used by Win95 applications -- so I have to rely on IBM's volume control applet (and the Fn-F5/Fn-F6 keys) for vol control. I also had to manually edit the path to include WIN95, WIN95/SYSTEM, WIN31, WIN31/SYSTEM -- and manually combine the two PROGMAN.INI in preparation for running grpconv /s to automatically build the START menu items for all of the old WIN31 applications. Everything seems to work OK now. I would strongly recommend against installing the Win95 intended for installation on a new machine for use with the TP750Cs. The Win95 Upgrade CDROM is much more flexible, includes an option to delete Win95 entirely and restore the original DOS/Win3.1 system configuration, and provides for dual boot options. The MS Win95 Resource Kit Book/CDROM was also extremely helpful.
