Re: New BIOS for Thinkpad 760E+ models
Well, I have tried 4 different times to run Win95 OSR2 on my 760ED, but it
always causes random lock-ups and failures. I have tried installing with
FAT 16 and with FAT 32. I did not realize that some were using this on
their 760's without any problems, besides the hibernation (which I had
heard of, although it does not matter in my case). If I use Win95 version A
everything works perfectly. It seems from my experience that my problems
with OSR2 on the 760 were with the Mwave components. I would be interested
to hear if anyone else had problems such as this with OSR2, and if the new
BIOS fixes these problems also. BTW, I was using the most current BIOS and
the newest drivers when I tried the OSR2 install, the last attempt being 3
weeks ago.
Thanks for your help--
Eric Giles
