Thinkpad 755Cs
I just bought a IBM Thinkpad 755Cs used. It only came with the Type I
docking station, no manuals, no software, no power adapter. The only thing
on the hard drive is the bare essentials to just boot up with. I also have
the docking station which I need for power (battery will not hold charge).
I am wondering where or if I could get a copy of all the thinkpad specific
drivers/software/etc.
I tried getting the missing software/manuals from IBM but they just gave me
the usual run-around I always get with every other thing i need drivers or a
disk for.
The system configuration of the Thinkpad 755Cs is 486dx 33mhz, 4mb ram, 163
mb HD, 2.88 FDD. I went through the IBM web pages looking for some stuff
for it but only came up with a hand full of files and none are what i need.
If i could get a set of the original disks it would sure help. Being a
student and seeing this laptop for $500 I jumped on the opportunity to get
it. Unfortunatly the used computer store where i bought it had none of the
missing items, and the computer service company where I work did not have
anything that could help me out. I just want to be able to get it at a
factory setup on the hard drive and then i will use my zip drive for more
storage.
If anyone could send me a copy of the disks compressed with pkzip for dos
with the command line to the effect of... PKZIP -EX -R -P TP-DISK1.zip
A:\*.* and what the label of each disk said so i can make a set.
Thanks!
