I wonder if you have the latest updates for the 770?
I just took a look at the Dev. Driver pak site and there are updates as of
about 1997 December:
http://service.software.ibm.com/os2ddpak/html/5E4B588B846AA82386256564005A577E.htm
Is this what you are using? I have a TP 380D and check the "systems"
section of the Dev. Driver site periodically for updates for that. There
is support for IBM computers aplenty at the "systems" link.
