Re: Attaching SCSI device to TP Dock
My brother gave me a Dock I which I found would let my TP755CD
simply plug-and-play except for the sound (MWave). I am running
WW3.11 and the sound actually comes out of the dock speakers but
at an extremely low, nearly inaudible level. I checked out the
wiring of the dock I and it appears to be intact. An ignorant
techie at IBM told me I'd have to use an external patching chord
(microstereo to RCA males ) but that yielded zero sound. My
brother tells me that when I upgrade my TP755CD to W95, the
W95 will automagically correct this. Does anyone with a Dock I
have similar experience or any information with which to enlighten
me?
private or list email gratefully accepted.
