I didn't really notice a difference, though I *think* modem file transfer is now faster. All the problems I have had with MWAVE on OS/2 continue, however. Some day, I might reinstall Warp for the third time, but my conclusion is that the OS/2 people simply haven't taken sufficient care to integrate their product with laptops. IBM has announced that OS/2 will be preloaded on many laptops. This will be a real hoot for their help line. I got Linux running on my 755CE in much less time than OS/2, but then I'm a UNIX person. I was crossmounting file systems between my laptop and my server within a day. And like OS/2 Linux doesn't (appear to) support MWAVE or 16-bit pixels either! But it's remarkably responsive. Eugene.

I know NT is more stable, but win95 is a good second choice. It can use win3.1 drivers (I'm using the normal tp util disks for audio and video). I've been using it on my tp755cs since last october, and I'm pretty happy with it. ________________________________________________________________________ After seven years, I was sent home to my family.

That may be true if you stick with IBM memory, but you can certainly get a 32 meg DRAM card (I have one in my 755C, which I have had since just after they appeared), and it works fine. So that's the best way to go if you want 40 megs total. Now I believe, but have not been able to confirm, that there are 32 meg DIMM modules, allowing a max memory of 72 megs.

And is the process independent of the particular model of DAT drive? If anyone has any experience or tips, I would be grateful to hear of them I've been using GTAR/GTAK, which has three advantages. First, it's free (you can get it from hobbes or several other ftp sites). Second, it can be used to interchange tapes with unix systems. Third, if you use the "Quick File Access" feature, it is very fast at locating specific files on a tape. On the down side: this program is difficult to install because the installation instructions are sketchy (maybe cryptic is more accurate). It took me a couple of hours to puzzle out the instructions enough to get it working. Considering that I have much experience with both DDS drives and SCSI, I think this is pretty awful. Also on the down side, tar is not the friendliest program to use, because it has no user interface. And further, while tar is fine for doing full or incremental backups, it's pretty bad at doing archival storage where you periodically add more things to the archive; it can be done, but it's not pleasant. Mainly I continue using it because it's free, and it works well enough that I don't want to spend the time trying other things. Also I have been keeping track of people's comments regarding OS/2 tape backup programs, and I've yet to hear that any particular program is outstanding.

And is the process independent of the particular model of DAT drive? Several of my co-workers use the company SCSI DAT to back up their machines once a week (they buy their own tapes, so what the hell) and the OS/2 users just use GTAR. Lacks in snazz value, but it's free. And in the case of GTAR, it is independent of tape model. You can find the program on Hobbes under the unix subdirectory. Hell, look in the index. FYI for other FTP hounds like myself: The CICA, Simtel and Hobbes CD ROMS put out by Walnut Creek are available for $16 a piece, which to me was worth it to save xfer time. http://www.raddev.com/biz/raddev has the info - I'm not affiliated, just a happy customer.

Yes, this is true, unlesss you want to go 2400 on the modem. Any faster and there's not enough of the Mwave DSP capacity left for both. On the other hand, the Mwave modem has an unusally large latency (650ms with the shipped software, drops to 600ms with the newest from ftp.pcco.ibm.com) so probably you'll be happier with a PCMCIA modem anyway.

You have neither a modem nor a sound card. You have a DSP and some glue, and a lot of software in DOS/Win which use it to emulate *either* a modem or a sound card. This is particularly useless to those of us who run neither DOS, Windows, or OS/2.

This is a standalone configuration for now and I have a few questions for the LINUX gurus among this list. I have already checked the FAQs/HOWTOs, Jesse's web page, & the web page at peipa.essex.ac.uk. I have looked around for the answers and don't mind being told if there are other Web pages/ pointers I should check out for answers to my questions. 1. I have been told that there is 755Cs info at www.cica.fr web page. But, I cannot access the web page at http://www.cica.fr:9090/~basturk/... or www.cica,fr./~basturk/... etc. or variations of the above. I can only get into the top level www.cica.fr and can't find my way to the right place for the 755Cs/Linux specific information. Any ideas or does anyone know the right address? Maybe it's no longer there. 2. I am installing Linux on 340 Meg drive with 8Meg swap partition, with the remainder for Linux (no DOS partitions). I have another 170Meg drive which I run DOS/Windows. I do not have APM under LINUX yet on the 340Megger, so when I switch between these two drives, my battery (the only one I have) is going haywire. I think if I had a DOS partition, that the built-in battery operations would probably work, because they could keep the important files updated on the DOS partition. At this point, since I am so far into the LINUX installation and cannot easily go back and repartition, I think that I will only use the battery under DOS/Windows (where APM is alive and well) and pull it out when I shift to LINUX. So, my questions are two here: - When I am plugged into AC (with the NIMH battery out), is the internal battery which maintains the clock and other features being replenished or am I in danger of running it down if I run long hours under LINUX this way? - Once I get APM up and running under LINUX, can I safely use my battery under both LINUX APM and Windows APM (no matter which hard drive I am using)? 3. Finally, the peipa.essex.ac.uk web pages on TP and LINUX discuss the difficulties with LINUX recognizing the TP floppy and harddrive and the need for using the patched bootdisk, and then overwriting the kernel (created after installation) with the patched kernel on the bootdisk. Adrian Clark also says that this patched disk helps keep from "trashing" low memory. So... - I am having trouble figuring out how to copy the bootdisk kernel to my hard disk. I have installed the A disk series using the patched boot disk and color144 rootdisk. I can boot up the hard disk using LILO. My attempts to mount the bootdisk floppy and then copy the patched kernel over to hard disk are not working. I can get the floppy to mount, but then "ls" shows nothing under /mnt. - What is this "trashing" of low memory problem that Adrian mentions and is there a patch out there somewhere that I can put into my kernel? If so, then I don't need to use the "patched" boot disk once I'm installed and can create my own kernel.

I didn't have to make any of the dreaded kernel mods for the floppy, nor did I need the special boot floppy that apparently was needed for prior releases. That is, the new kernel (1.2.5 and above) seems to know about ThinkPads. Windows, DOS, OS/2 Warp were already installed on the system, so I defragmented, and ran FIPS to partition in place. I admit to taking a full system backup, however, by tarring to my Sun box and creating appropriate system floppies. The HOWTO's are extremely informative. Also, if you are getting the Infomagic release, be sure to check out the Windows browser for the HOWTO's. Target installation: 755CE with 810MB drive. With PCMCIA support, Linux was able to find my (NE2000 compatible) ethernet card, so I was joyfully NFS'ing very quickly. It's a real treat to be able to cross-mount ThinkPad partitions on my Sun and vice versa. You won't be able to do this in a production shop though, because I found I had to HUP the inetd fairly regularly on disconnect and reconnect. A two-point twisted-pair connection requires a special TP cable, by the way (it's essentially a null-modem TP cable). To get the card properly initialised, it seems that I have to boot DOS first, and then do a LOADLIN. This suits me fine, because the default is that it's a standard DOS/Windows box. With IRQ rearrangement, I could probably get away with not doing this. Outstanding problems: getting 16bpp from the WD driver, no access to any MWAVE functions (including modem, SB, fax, MIDI), and no support for my Raven CD-Note PCMCIA SCSI CD-ROM. Can anyone provide any advice on any of these problems? Note that this is exactly where I'm sitting with OS/2 as well, so you can guess which one I'm going to trash. If you have problems loading Linux from your CD-ROM, but the unit is visible from one of the other systems, then it is quite convenient to load the distribution from the CD-ROM to your hard disk and install from there. It's probably faster that way too. Anyway, if you have a similar set up, I *might* be competent to answer questions. By the way, if you are going to use a ThinkPad exclusively for Linux, then I would suggest that you purchase a cheaper Pad. The nifty goodies like MWAVE/DSP just aren't usable, as far as I can see. An inconvenience yes, but I'm not bitter about it as another poster appears to be. In X, be sure to use a virtual screen (defined in XFConfig). You'll really miss the higher resolution otherwise. Overall, my 755CE performs at an almost identical clip to my Sun SS10/41. For cache intensive stuff, the 1MB cache of the 41 can't be beat, but for basic computing they are both qualitatively and quantitatively similar. Cheers, Eugene Fiume.

I have successfully accessed my Xircom PCMCIA Ethernet adapter using only the first two drivers (IBMDSS01.SYS and IBMDOSCS.SYS). These, I take it, are for Socket Services and Card Services, and are required before any PCM card is recognized by the system. I coudn't seem to make the card work at all if I loaded DICRMU01.SYS, regardless of memory address used. [I made sure my memory manager eXcluded the same address.] I REM'd the last two (AUTODRV and $ICPMDOS) to conserve memory, since the system appears to work OK without them. Am I going to run into trouble later on if I neglect these last three? I will soon likely be using a PCM modem in addition to the Ethernet adapter. The system will invariably be using the AC adapter when the PCM cards are required, so I don't see the need for power management.

Chameleon won't work if you have another Windows task which has allocated the COM port for the modem already. Only one Windows task can use the COM port at a time.

It's probably faster that way too. Same problems with 16bpp and MWAVE. I have looked into getting the MWAVE stuff running.

Sadly the faster CPU models come with all the extras so a cheaper pad is also slower. I got a 755CD and really only miss the MWAVE stuff not working in Linux.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Mime-Version: 1.0 Ok, after having an extraordinary amount of fun installing and running linux on my 750Cs, I have come to the realization that i need to actually do work :) Therefore, I need to install either NT, Warp or (yikes!...) Windows in order to run some of the applications relevant to my research... So here are my questions: -What kind of extra drivers do i need in order to run Warp on my 'pad? I remember using some utility disks for 2.1 but i have no idea about which ones to use for Warp...Is there a FAQ? (updated) -I need to be able to compile C code on my system, I did use gcc at one point with minor complaints (besides a 30+ meg swap file during compiling :) However, I also need to be able to port (flawlessly) my code to Unix (There are no graphics, so it should be fairly easy (i hope)) Has anyone used any other compilers? I had very bad experiences with older releases of Bordland C++ and would like your opinions... -One last point, due to the fact that I'm but a lowly grad student, I only have 8 megs of RAM and 170 HD. Is it better for OS/2 to get more HD or more RAM? I know the answer is both, but what if you were forced to decide? Thanks in advance... Art -- Arturo J.

I remember using some utility disks for 2.1 but i have no idea about which ones to use for Warp...Is there a FAQ? (updated) The drivers that Warp has built-in, while not perfect, do work acceptably. The only other thing you would need is the ThinkPad features programs from the ThinkPad Utility diskette, e.g. the Fuel program, Power program, etc. -I need to be able to compile C code on my system, I did use gcc at one point with minor complaints (besides a 30+ meg swap file during compiling :) However, I also need to be able to port (flawlessly) my code to Unix (There are no graphics, so it should be fairly easy (i hope)) Has anyone used any other compilers? I had very bad experiences with older releases of Bordland C++ and would like your opinions... I've used both GCC/2 and IBM C Set++. GCC/2 works OK but lacks debugging support. I also understand that the project has been discontinued. IBM C Set++ works very well, but is expensive ($250). I understand that many people use EMX GCC, which is probably the best choice if you want the maximum unix compatibility. I haven't tried it. -One last point, due to the fact that I'm but a lowly grad student, I only have 8 megs of RAM and 170 HD. Is it better for OS/2 to get more HD or more RAM? I know the answer is both, but what if you were forced to decide? I'd suggest more RAM. RAM is the single most important factor for good performance in Warp.

Then click on options, then choose the "Audio/Image Sync" option. This option gives slightly more DSP resources to the .wav player and things are happy. I also play sound files off of the World Wide Web while connected via modem with no problems. note that although you *can* have 14.4 modem and .wav audio (i.e. digitized audio) at the same time, you *cannot* have MIDI sound as well without shutting down the modem. in order to have MIDI synthesis, you cannot be running either the modem or telephony stuff at the same time. since MIDI needs to be "by itself" anyway, it makes good sense to set all the MIDI stuff to the hightest quality sound (i.e. use up all the DSP). to do this (in windows at least) go to the mwave utils group and choose "select synthesizer" and choose "32 voice synthesizer". then go to the control panel, choose the MIDI mapper applet, and select setup "Mwave Ext. GM". doing this will result in noticiable better MIDI sound, especially on MIDI files with lots of instruments (quite decent actually, except maybe the drum patches are a somewhat lacking). considering most other "multimedia" notebooks only offer .wav sound to begin with (or pathetic FM synth MIDI which sounds like crap), I do not consider this a major shortcoming. of course, if you want to run something other than Windows or OS/2 (like Linux or even currently Win NT), the whole MWAVE appears to be useless... (in my opinion there at LEAST should be Win NT drivers!!!) -Todd =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Todd Tannenbaum email: tannenba@engr.wisc.edu Director of the Model Advanced Facility voice phone: (608) 262-3118 Computer-Aided Engineering Center FAX phone: (608) 265-4546 University of Wisconsin-Madison From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Mon May 8 20:03:09 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA13988; Mon, 8 May 95 20:03:09 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id TAA17367; Mon, 8 May 1995 19:43:39 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Mon, 8 May 1995 19:43:37 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from mail02.mail.aol.com by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id TAA17356; Mon, 8 May 1995 19:43:36 -0400 From: Received: by mail02.mail.aol.com (1.37.109.11/16.2) id AA208486574; Mon, 8 May 1995 19:42:55 -0400 Date: Mon, 8 May 1995 19:42:55 -0400 Message-Id: <950508193300_111503350@aol.com> To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Subject: Win 95 on TP 755ce I currently own a 755c that is running win 95 without any problems.

A: Yes, but not more than 2 devices, and you also need a special jumper cable between the two 10BaseT ports: RJ45 pin RJ45 pin ======== ======== 1 <--[TX+]--------[RX+]--> 3 2 <--[TX-]--------[RX-]--> 6 3 <--[RX+]--------[TX+]--> 1 6 <--[RX-]--------[TX-]--> 2 One of our technicians put it together for me it about three minutes and it works very well. Another thing, if you are connecting to a Sun, be sure to not disable the link-test (on the Sun). Yes, it's a silly thing to do, but I did it a long time ago because I didn't want to keep seeing some even sillier start-up messages at boot time. And I never dreamt I'd want an ethernet at on my "standalone" workstation. Cheers, Eugene Fiume.

Just think of displaying information from your notebook LCD directly on an overhead projection screen. Other key reasons to consider the ThinkPad 755CV include: o VGA resolution with 64K color support o A fast IntelDX4-100MHz processor o Large capacity hard disk of 540MB* standard, or optional 810MB or 1.2GB* hard disk o 8MB standard memory expandable to 40MB o Infrared wireless file and data transfer, plus IR Mind Path Remote Control o SelectaSystem capability for choosing from preinstalled operating systems: OS/2 Warp 3.0, IBM PC DOS 7, and Windows 3.11 o Programmable Mwave(R) digital signal processor (DSP) subsystem for audio, games, music, data/fax modem, and telephony (answering machine/speakerphone) Technical Support o ThinkPad Easy Serv warranty o International Warranty Service o HelpCenter(R) (800-772-2227) o ThinkPad Proven(TM) * MB = million bytes and GB = 1000 million bytes when referring to hard disk. ---------------------------- To make a presentation, you no longer have to carry transparencies or a costly attachment for your computer. The ThinkPad(R) 755CV has a new, innovative LCD display that highlights the 755CV system. By removing the cover on the LCD, the LCD becomes transparent. When the system and its still-attached transparent LCD is placed on an overhead projector, information on the LCD is directly displayed on the projection screen. The ThinkPad 755CV is equipped with a wireless remote controller, which uses the IR capability of the system, and advanced presentation software that help you generate impressive presentations and navigate through them. For example, with a touch of a button on a remote controller, you can magnify, spotlight, or highlight the screen to emphasize important information. A ThinkPad 755CV system combined with any one of the four IBM docking solutions can easily become your primary personal computer, providing an alternative to a desktop system unit. Even without the docking solution, the ThinkPad 755CV easily serves as a primary system with its large color display, high-capacity hard disk, large RAM capability, local bus video, high-performance microprocessor, and two Type II or one Type III PCMCIA slots. Host connectivity is attained with PCMCIA cards. SelectaSystem(TM) allows you to choose between DOS, Windows+, or OS/2(R) Warp operating systems. If you choose to use OS/2 Warp, you can run multiple DOS, Windows+, and OS/2 applications at the same time without conflict. Plus, you can take advantage of the BonusPak applications that come with OS/2 Warp, including IBM Works -- an Internet access kit with everything you need to travel the information superhighway via the IBM Global Network. The ThinkPad Pentium Upgrade (755CE/CSE) optional features allow you to upgrade the 755CV system processor from the IntelDX4**-100MHz to the Intel** Pentium** 75MHz processor for increased performance.

DESCRIPTION Everything you need to make a quality presentation is neatly packaged in a compact 6.5 pound notebook. By removing the black cover from the back of the display panel, the panel becomes transparent. By opening the panel to 180 degrees and placing the system on an overhead projector, you can display images just as they appear on your ThinkPad screen -- in over 64,000 colors. IBM ThinkPad 755CV at a Glance o IntelDX4-100MHz processor o Large memory capacity (8MB to 40MB using DIMM memory modules and the Memory Module Adapter) o High-capacity hard disks: 540MB standard; 810MB or 1.2GB optional o NiMH battery pack (optional LI-Ion battery pack) o Local bus video with acceleration o Mwave(R) DSP subsystem o 14.4K Kbps data/fax modem o Built-in microphone and speaker o Dial volume control o Infrared (IR) o TrackPoint III o Full complement of ports for peripheral connections o 240-pin docking connector o Removable 1.44MB floppy diskette drive o Type III PCMCIA slot o Large 10.4-inch (maximum viewable area when measured diagonally) active matrix display (640 x 480 resolution VGA) o Preinstalled software: OS/2 Warp 3.0 with BonusPak applications, PC DOS 7, and Windows 3.11 operating systems preinstalled with SelectaSystem capability, plus a suite of applications preinstalled for the user to choose from o Onscreen electronic personalization o Compatibility with 755CE, 755CSE, and 755CD ThinkPad systems and IBM docking options These ThinkPad 755CV advanced-function models bring you innovative technology, instant productivity with preinstalled software, and outstanding service and support. ThinkPad 755CV Features LCD Display: This model has the 10.4-inch (maximum viewable area when measured diagonally) Thin Film Transistor (TFT) with VGA resolution. These are bright Active Matrix displays. The TFT display provides superior viewing capability and lessens the glare indoors. With the 755CV, IBM introduces new LCD technology providing data projection capability. By removing the LCD cover and putting the computer on an overhead projector, information on the LCD screen is projected on a larger screen. When the LCD cover is installed, this LCD serves as a regular IBM 10.4-inch (maximum viewable area when measured diagonally) Thin Film Transistor (TFT) screen. With the appropriate display driver installed, up to 65,536 simultaneous colors can be displayed. Depending on work surface area of the overhead projector and/or projection-table design, it might be difficult to put the 755CD on the overhead projector so that information is projected right-side-up. It is possible to rotate information on the LCD screen by using a video driver setup. Information can be projected right-side-up by rotating information on the LCD, and putting the ThinkPad on the overhead projector on the side with more space on it. This rotate function is supported for Windows. OS/2 Warp Version 3 support for a rotate video driver will be available during 1995. Processor: At the heart of this system is the IntelDX4-100MHz processor with an internal cache of 16KB and floating-point processor providing exceptional performance. Also available are the IBM ThinkPad Pentium 75MHz Upgrade options for the 755CV system. Memory: This system is designed to use parity memory. The system comes standard with 8MB RAM, upgradeable to a total of 40MB using DIMM memory modules with the Memory Module Adapter. The system memory can exceed 24MB when using IC DRAM cards that are larger than 16MB. This high-capacity and fast memory (70ns) can handle almost any application the mobile professional may have to execute. PCMCIA: The Type III slot can accommodate either two Type I, or two Type II, or one Type III PC card. If additional PCMCIA cards are required, the optional ThinkPad PCMCIA cartridge can be placed in the ThinkPad 755CV ThinkPad UltraBay(TM) providing an additional Type III slot. The ThinkPad UltraBay not only can accommodate this option, but it can also house the optional 2.88MB diskette drive (FDD) and CDPD mobile communications module. IBM PC Card Director software is preinstalled and provides support for the latest PCMCIA standard, 2.1. This software enables many PCMCIA cards, allowing the user to simply plug in the card. PC Card Director with Auto Configurator and Memory Device Driver: PC Card Director helps you get status and information on PCMCIA cards installed in the system. In addition, on OS/2 and on Microsoft** Windows, PC Card Director can register an application program for PCMCIA cards and execute them automatically. Auto Configurator and Memory Device Driver enables supported PCMCIA cards by sensing them automatically. Supported PCMCIA cards by Auto Configurator and Memory Device Driver are listed in the Devices Supported section. Keyboard and TrackPoint III: The keyboard has the familiar ThinkPad layout with a function key capability allowing you to quickly access system functions, like power management control. The keyboard lifts up allowing access to the FDD bay, HDD bay, and battery for quick upgrades or battery changes. The TrackPoint III is an enhanced TrackPoint II with improved non-slip TrackPoint cap and more accurate pointing capability through improved software. The "drag and drop" function of the click buttons is enhanced. You can lock and hold the buttons in without having to keep pushing on them. Storage: The customer-installable hard drive is 540MB standard. Optional 810MB or 1.2GB hard drives are available. The drive is easily removed by lifting up the keyboard. You can have multiple "systems" simply by installing a different hard drive. Systems can also be shared by users who have their own hard drive but no ThinkPad system unit. A 1.44MB FDD drive comes standard. The ThinkPad UltraBay, also standard with the system, is an intelligent bay that switches its pinout signals to allow the installation of an FDD or PCMCIA cartridge in what would normally be just the floppy diskette drive bay. IBM Mwave Digital Signal Processor (DSP): The Mwave MDSP2780 operates at up to 60 million operations per second for integrating audio, games, music, data/fax modem, and telephony into a DSP. Features and benefits include: o 44.1KHz MPC-2 16-bit audio with real-time compression o Simultaneous audio play and record o Digital audio mixing with up to eight open .WAV sources o General MIDI compatible, 32-voice wavetable synthesizer o Sound Blaster** support o 14.4 Kbps data/fax modem o Full-featured telephone - Answering machine with variable speed message playback and voice compression - Hands-free, full-duplex speakerphone Features set can be enhanced simply by upgrading the DSP software. Audio: The audio capability on the system board (DSP) and the integrated microphone allow voice annotation and audio capability. The system is equipped with audio in/out jacks for stereo speakers/headphone and external microphone. A separate dial volume control is located to the rear of the keyboard on the system. Infrared (IR): The use of IR has been greatly enhanced by the incorporation of Mind Path Presentation F/X Pro software on all models and the inclusion of the IR Mind Path** Remote Control with the 755CV. This combination of Mind Path products on the 755CV allows the system to be controlled remotely, through the use of the wireless IR capability during presentations. It also enables the use of effects such as magnify, spotlight, and telestrator to be added to the screen during presentations. The system has IR transceivers in front and back for wireless file and data transfer. The ThinkPad 755CV is designed for compliance with the IrDA (Infrared Data Association) IR data link specification Version 1.0. The system supports three modes of operation: o IBM mode (from 57.6 Kbps to 1.15 Mbps) o HP** mode (from 9600 bps to 115 Kbps) o Sharp** mode (9600 bps) Preinstalled software provides wireless file transfer, file synchronization, and clip board data transfer. With the infrared feature, data can be exchanged with the following systems by using the vendor software packages listed below: System Software Omnibook 300** LapLink Remote Access** HP 100LX** Connectivity Pack for the HP 100LX** Sharp Wizard** PC interface software, 9000 Link for PCs OZ-990(W)** When using the infrared feature to communicate with this system, the communications distance may be shorter than when communicating with another ThinkPad 755CE, 755CSE, 755CD, or 755CV, depending on the capabilities of the other systems. The ThinkPad 755CV is shipped with the IR Mind Path Model 55 wireless remote controller kit and Presentation F/X Pro software.

The Indeo AVI file playback by Digital Video fix will be available from the IBM Personal Computer Company Bulletin Board Service (PCC BBS) by June 30, 1995. o The 180-degree rotation function of the video device driver is for 256-color and 640 x 480 resolution only. o DOS programs are not supported by the 180-degree rotation video driver. The 180-degree rotation video driver support is only available when using applications under OS/2 Warp Version 3.0 or Windows 3.11. The 180-degree rotation driver for OS/2 Warp (with or without WIN-OS/2) will be provided through the PCC BBS by calling 919-517-0001. o The OS/2 version of Mind Path Presentation F/X Pro can be obtained by calling Mind Path Technologies, Inc., at 800-736-6830, or the PCC BBS at 919-517-0001. o Either the Mind Path IR remote controller device driver or the IBM IR device driver can be enabled at any time in the Windows SYSTEM.INI file. It is necessary to disable the Mind Path IR remote controller device driver when the ThinkPad IR port, or an application that uses the COM1 port for data transmittal is used as this port by the Mind Path Remote Controller. In the Infrared panel of the Mind Path Presentation F/X Pro setup program, click the "off" button in the Infrared box to disable the IR remote controller and enable the IBM IR driver. To use the remote controller, click on the ThinkPad Internal button. o If the ThinkPad enters suspend mode while a video is playing while using Video for Windows and Presentation F/X Pro and the Mind Path Remote Controller, the ThinkPad may not resume properly. Close the Presentation F/X Pro software prior to suspending the system, if a video is playing. o Some optional features or applications may use the COM1 port. OS/2 Warp Version 3 will not load COM.SYS if the COM1 port is already in use. Only one such feature or application that uses the COM1 (for example, communications or PCMCIA) can be used at a time. For example, the Mind Path IR Remote Controller uses the COM1 port and this controller must be disabled to use another application that also uses COM1. o Some special effects of the Presentation F/X program are not effective during motion pictures and digital video playback that frequently access the video buffer. o A wavy pattern may appear if the lamp circuit noise of certain overhead projectors interferes with the 755CV LCD display. A wavy pattern may appear on the LCD or/and projected information. Use an alternative overhead projector. o Do not use the 755CV on an overhead projector that is specifically designed for very large magnification using extremely bright light source. The high temperature may cause hardware problems. Do not use overhead projectors with greater than 6,000 lumens, or a light source greater than a 575 Watt lamp. (Refer to Using ThinkPad 755CV with Overhead Projector immediately following this section.) o The Warp fixpak XR0W005 is required for audio, modem, and printer support if OS/2 Warp Version 3 needs to be reinstalled. o Fixpak XR_A087 is required for audio, data/fax modem, and telephony functions under OS/2 2.11. Call 800-992-4777 to get these APAR fixes. o The 65,536 color driver is available in OS/2 Warp Version 3.0.

This is currently available on the PCC BBS by calling 919-517-0001. The PCC BBS is available 24 hours a day on a toll-call basis with no access charge to the bulletin board. o When using the redirector feature of the Connectivity Pack for the HP 100LX to exchange data over an infrared link at 115 Kbps, the ThinkPad 755CV should be configured as the requestor. o Telephony and answering machine functions do not support PBX. o Video performance will be reduced when operating under the 64K color mode. o The Mwave MDSP2780 (DSP) does not support cellular phone connection. o The system cannot enter the suspend/hibernation mode when the Sound Blaster emulation mode is enabled in a DOS environment. o IBM Enhanced Mouse (92G7457) cannot be used with TrackPoint III. When using the Enhanced Mouse, TrackPoint III should be disabled. o When the MIDI joystick port is used, it is recommended that the POWER.EXE and FUELDOS.COM be removed from the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files. These files may cause intermittent incorrect movement of the joystick. o Continuous use of the HDD drive, such as reading long video files, will impact battery life. o The fifth PCMCIA slot cannot be identified by the IBM PC Card Director memory device driver when installing the IBM ThinkPad PCMCIA Cartridge in the FDD bay of the system unit when the IBM ThinkPad Port Replicator I or ThinkPad Dock II is attached. o The IBM ThinkPad 755CV system has one memory slot per system. - By using 2MB, 4MB, 8MB, or 16MB IC DRAM optional feature cards, up to 24MB of system memory is possible. Larger than 16MB IC DRAM cards may be available from IBM ThinkPad Proven vendors and can be used. - By using DIMM technology, the IBM Memory Module Adapter, and the 4MB, 8MB, or 16MB memory modules, up to 40MB of system memory is possible. o As the audio and communication features share the hardware resource of Mwave DSP, their concurrent usage has some restrictions. For example, when you are using any of the communication features, you cannot use the MIDI audio capability. o The system is designed so that the customer can install or remove the PCMCIA card without turning off the system, if the PCMCIA card supports this function. Refer to the instructions that come with the PCMCIA card. o When installing two Type II PCMCIA communications cards in the PCMCIA slot, there may be some cable interference that allows only one card to be used. o PC Card point enablers may write directly to the hardware, bypassing Socket and Card Services Release 2.1. Writing directly to the hardware may cause problems that cannot be anticipated. Also, point enablers may interfere with client device drivers that do communicate with Socket and Card Services Release 2.1. Additional customer testing in their specific environments is recommended. o PCMCIA diagnostics programs usually do not recognize slot numbers greater than two. To diagnose a suspected faulty card, make sure the PCMCIA card is in one of the PCMCIA slots of the system proper. o "Point enablers" usually do not support slot numbers above two. If using a PCMCIA card with a Point Enabler, make sure that the card is in the slots on the system proper. o A video capture adapter that requires VGA pass-through (video pass-through, VESA bus) is not supported by the 755CV and the IBM Docking stations. o The IBM 8516 Touch Screen Color Display and IBM ThinkPad Space Saver Keyboard require the TrackPoint III to be disabled before connecting it to the connector. To disable the TrackPoint III, follow the instructions provided in the User's Guide. o The IBM Keyboard/Mouse Connector accessory is required when attaching an external keyboard to the system via the external input device port. o Password prompt is not displayed when the computer resumes from "partial" suspend mode while it is attached to the IBM ThinkPad Dock I or Dock II. To operate, you will need to type the correct password. o If the ThinkPad 755CV is used with the IBM ThinkPad Dock I or Dock II, then for the comfort and convenience of the user, the height of the system should be adjusted or an external keyboard should be used. Using the ThinkPad 755CV with Overhead Projector: The ThinkPad 755CV, when used with an overhead projector, can be used in a small to medium size room (that accommodates up to 50 people), on an overhead projector with a light bulb of 400 watts or less or a luminance of up to 3000 lumens. For a large room, an overhead projector with a light bulb of up to 575 watts or 6,000 lumens can be used. If the light bulb is over 575 watts or 6,000 lumens, do not use the 755CV on that projector. The computer may be damaged due to the heat coming from the projector. Refer to the manual supplied with the projector to determine the lumens or check the wattage on the light bulb of the overhead projector. Suspend Mode Operational Considerations o Do not remove or install PC cards during suspend mode. o Suspend mode shuts off power to the PCMCIA sockets. o When using Windows 3.11, ensure that the Advanced Power Management (APM) is installed. o Non-disruptive battery exchange allows the user to put the system in suspend mode and exchange battery packs without any loss of data or function. o During suspend mode, the maximum power output becomes 60mA at 12 V. During suspend mode, PCMCIA cards cannot consume more than 60mA at 12 V. Planning Information Cable Orders: All cables are included with the system. Installability: The ThinkPad 755CV system requires about 20 minutes for installation. Installation includes unpacking, setting up, and powering on the system. Additional time is required to install other memory and other optional features. Problem Determination: If a failure is found at initial installation, an instruction or error code will appear on the screen. The user should note this information and refer to the User's Guide shipped with the system unit. System units that fail at installation or during a power up sequence will automatically go to the system diagnostics to isolate the failing field replaceable unit (FRU), or refer the user to the service representative for the ThinkPad 755CV. The trouble-shooting procedures consist of a power-on self-test, diagnostic tests, and easy-to-follow trouble-shooting charts designed to assist the user in isolating a defective machine element. The failing element can then be replaced or repaired under existing warranty provisions.

Your name, contact address, or phone number can be displayed on the screen when the system is turned on. This personal data is stored in the system non-volatile memory and is displayed with a password prompt. This helps to identify your ThinkPad. Passwords: o A Power-on Password (POP) protects the system from unauthorized use. If a POP is set, the password prompt appears: - Each time the system is turned on. - When the system is returned to normal operation from suspend mode. o A Supervisor Password provides a higher level of security than the POP. The Supervisor Password protects the system functions from being used by unauthorized users and protects the hardware configuration from unauthorized modification. The Supervisor Password prompt appears when the hardware configuration is changed. o A HDD Password (HDP) protects HDD data from unauthorized users. Once HDP is set, data on the HDD cannot be accessed without the correct HDP. Because the HDP is stored in the HDD, the data remains protected even if the HDD is removed to another system. The HDP password prompt appears: - Each time the system is turned on. - When the system is returned to normal operation from suspend mode. o The user can use the hook on the hard disk locking mechanism to leash with a user selected padlock and chain or cable. o The user can attach the Kensington** lock to the keyhole on the side of the computer. This prevents the keyboard from opening and secures the internal devices under the keyboard. User management is responsible for evaluation, selection, and implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and appropriate controls in application systems and communications facilities.

This TFT panel, with the appropriate display driver, can display up to 65,536 simultaneous colors. Processor: At the heart of these systems is the Intel Pentium 75MHz processor with 256KB L2 cache and integrated numeric coprocessor on board. Memory: These systems are designed to use non-parity memory. The systems come standard with 8MB RAM, upgradeable to a total of 40MB using DIMM memory modules with the Memory Module Adapter. The system memory can exceed 24MB when using IC DRAM cards that are larger than 16MB. This high-capacity and fast memory (70ns) can handle almost any application the mobile professional may have to execute. PCMCIA: The Type III slot can accommodate either two Type I, or two Type II, or one Type III PC card. If additional PCMCIA cards are required, the optional ThinkPad PCMCIA cartridge can be placed in the ThinkPad 755CX ThinkPad UltraBay(TM) providing an additional Type III slot. The ThinkPad UltraBay not only can accommodate this option, but it can also house the optional 2.88MB diskette drive (FDD) and CDPD mobile communications module. IBM PC Card Director software is preinstalled and provides support for the latest PCMCIA standard, 2.1. This software enables many PCMCIA cards, allowing the user to simply plug in the card. PC Card Director with Auto Configurator and Memory Device Driver: PC Card Director helps you get status and information on PCMCIA cards installed in the system. In addition, on OS/2 and on Microsoft** Windows, PC Card Director can register an application program for PCMCIA cards and execute them automatically. Auto Configurator and Memory Device Driver enables supported PCMCIA cards by sensing them automatically. Supported PCMCIA cards by Auto Configurator and Memory Device Driver are listed in the Devices Supported section. Keyboard and TrackPoint III: The keyboard has the familiar ThinkPad layout with a function key capability allowing you to quickly access system functions, like power management control. The keyboard lifts up allowing access to the FDD bay, HDD bay, and battery for quick upgrades or battery changes. The TrackPoint III is an enhanced TrackPoint II with improved non-slip TrackPoint cap and more accurate pointing capability through improved software. The "drag and drop" function of the click buttons is enhanced. You can lock and hold the buttons in without having to keep pushing on them. Storage: The customer-installable hard drive comes in a choice of 540MB or 810MB. An optional 1.2GB hard drive is also available. The drives are easily removed by lifting up the keyboard. You can have multiple "systems" simply by installing a different hard drive. Systems can also be shared by users who have their own hard drive but no ThinkPad system unit. A 1.44MB FDD drive comes standard. The ThinkPad UltraBay, also standard with the system, is an intelligent bay that switches its pinout signals to allow the installation of an FDD or PCMCIA cartridge in what would normally be just the floppy diskette drive bay. IBM Mwave Digital Signal Processor (DSP): The Mwave MDSP2780 operates at up to 60 million operations per second for integrating audio, games, music, data/fax modem, and telephony into a DSP. Features and benefits include: o 44.1KHz MPC-2 16-bit audio with real-time compression o Simultaneous audio play and record o Digital audio mixing with up to eight open .WAV sources o General MIDI compatible, 32-voice wavetable synthesizer o Sound Blaster** support o 14.4 Kbps data/fax modem o Full-featured telephone - Answering machine with variable speed message playback and voice compression - Hands-free, full-duplex speakerphone Features set can be enhanced simply by upgrading the DSP software. Audio: The audio capability on the system board (DSP) and the integrated microphone allow voice annotation and audio capability. The systems are equipped with audio in/out jacks for stereo speakers/headphone and external microphone. A separate dial volume control is located to the rear of the keyboard on the system. Infrared: The systems have IR transceivers in front and back for wireless file and data transfer. The ThinkPad 755CX is designed for compliance with the IrDA (Infrared Data Association) IR data link specification Version 1.0. The systems support three modes of operation: o IBM mode (from 57.6 Kbps to 1.15 Mbps) o HP** mode (from 9600 bps to 115 Kbps) o Sharp** mode (9600 bps) Preinstalled software provides wireless file transfer, file synchronization, and clip board data transfer. With the infrared feature, data can be exchanged with the following systems by using the vendor software packages listed below: Systems Software Omnibook 300** LapLink Remote Access** HP 100LX** Connectivity Pack for the HP 100LX Sharp Wizard** PC interface software, 9000 Link for PCs OZ-990(W)** When using the infrared feature to communicate with these systems, the communications distance may be shorter than when communicating with another ThinkPad 755CE, 755CSE, or 755CD, depending on the capabilities of the other systems. At time of shipment, mouse function is supported for DOS, Windows, and OS/2. Special effects by the Presentation F/X Pro is supported for Windows.

The OS/2 version can be obtained by calling Mind Path Technologies, Inc., at 800-736-6830 or the IBM PCC BBS at 919-517-0001. o If the ThinkPad enters suspend mode while a video is playing, while using Video for Windows and Presentation F/X Pro and the Mind Path Remote Controller (separately purchased item), the ThinkPad may not resume properly. Close the Presentation F/X Pro software prior to suspending the system, if a video is playing. o Some optional features or applications may use the COM1 port. OS/2 Warp Version 3 will not load COM.SYS if the COM1 port is already in use. Only one such feature or application that uses the COM1 (for example, communications or PCMCIA) can be used at a time. For example, the Mind Path IR Remote Controller uses the COM1 port and this controller must be disabled to use another application that also uses COM1. o Some special effects of the Presentation F/X program are not effective during motion pictures and digital video playback that frequently access the video buffer. o The Warp fixpak XR0W005 is required for audio, modem, and printer support if OS/2 Warp Version 3 needs to be reinstalled. o Fixpak XR_A087 is required for audio, data fax modem, and telephony functions under OS/2 2.11. Call 800-992-4777 to get these APAR fixes. o The 640 x 480 65,536 color driver is available in OS/2 Warp Version 3.0. The 640 x 480 65,536 color display driver for OS/2 2.11 or OS/2 for Windows can be obtained from the IBM OS/2 Bulletin Board. This is currently available on the PCC BBS by calling 919-517-0001. The PCC BBS is available 24 hours a day on a toll-call basis with no access charge to the bulletin board. o When using the Redirector feature of the Connectivity Pack for the HP 100LX to exchange data over an infrared link at 115 Kbps, the ThinkPad 755CX should be configured as the requestor. o Telephony and answering machine functions do not support PBX. o Video performance will be reduced when operating under the 64K color mode. o The Mwave MDSP2780 (DSP) does not support cellular phone connection. o The system cannot enter the suspend/hibernation mode when the Sound Blaster emulation mode is enabled in a DOS environment. o The IBM Enhanced Mouse (92G7457) cannot be used with TrackPoint III. When using the IBM Enhanced Mouse, TrackPoint III should be disabled. o Continuous use of the HDD drive, such as reading long video files, will impact battery life. o The fifth PCMCIA slot cannot be identified by the IBM PC Card Director memory device driver when installing the IBM ThinkPad PCMCIA cartridge in the FDD bay of the system unit when the IBM ThinkPad Port Replicator I or ThinkPad Dock II is attached. o The ThinkPad 755CX systems have one memory slot per system. - By using 2MB, 4MB, 8MB, or 16MB IC DRAM optional feature cards, up to 24MB of system memory is possible. If IC DRAM cards larger than 16MB are available, more than 24MB of system memory is possible. - By using DIMM technology, the IBM Memory Module Adapter, and 4MB, 8MB, or 16MB memory modules, up to 40MB of system memory is possible. o As the audio and communication features share the hardware resource of Mwave DSP, their concurrent usage has some restrictions. For example, when you are using any of the communication features, you cannot use the MIDI audio capability. The system is designed so that the customer can install or remove the PCMCIA card without turning off the system, if the PCMCIA card supports this function. Refer to the instructions that come with the PCMCIA card. o When installing two Type II PCMCIA communications cards in the PCMCIA slot, there may be some cable interference that allows only one card to be used. o PC Card point enablers may write directly to the hardware, bypassing Socket and Card Services Release 2.1. Writing directly to the hardware may cause problems that cannot be anticipated. Also, point enablers may interfere with client device drivers that do communicate with Socket and Card Services Release 2.1. Additional customer testing in their specific environments is recommended. o PCMCIA diagnostics programs usually do not recognize slot number greater than two. To diagnose a suspected faulty card, make sure the PCMCIA card is in one of the PCMCIA slots of the system proper. o Point enablers usually do not support slot numbers above 2. If using a PCMCIA card with a point enabler, make sure that the card is in the slots on the system proper. o A video capture adapter that requires VGA pass-through (video pass-through, VESA bus) is not supported by the 755CX and the IBM Docking stations. o The IBM 8516 Touch Screen Color Display and IBM ThinkPad Space Saver Keyboard require the TrackPoint III to be disabled before connecting it to the connector. To disable the TrackPoint III, follow the instructions provided in the User's Guide. o The IBM Keyboard/Mouse Connector accessory is required when attaching an external keyboard to the system via the external input device port. o The password prompt is not displayed when the computer resumes from partial suspend mode while it is attached to the IBM ThinkPad Dock I or Dock II. To operate, you will need to type the correct password. o If one of these systems is used with the IBM ThinkPad Dock I or Dock II, then for the comfort and convenience of the user, the height of the system should be adjusted or an external keyboard should be used. o The diagnostic failures by the diagnostic program may occur on the following adapters when docked, even though there is no functional problem: IBM 3278/3279 Emulation Adapter, IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter, IBM Token-Ring Network PC Adapter II, and IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter II. Suspend Mode Operational Considerations o Do not remove or install PC cards during suspend mode. o Suspend mode shuts off power to the PCMCIA sockets. o When using Windows 3.11, ensure that the Advanced Power Management (APM) is installed. o Non-disruptive battery exchange allows the user to put the system in suspend mode and exchange battery packs without any loss of data or function. o During suspend mode, the maximum power output becomes 60mA at 12 V. During suspend mode, PCMCIA cards cannot consume more than 60mA at 12 V. Planning Information Cable Orders: All cables are included with the system. Installability: ThinkPad 755CX systems require about 20 minutes for installation. Installation includes unpacking, setting up, and powering on the system. Additional time is required to install other memory and other optional features. Problem Determination: If a failure is found at initial installation, an instruction or error code will appear on the screen. The user should note this information and refer to the User's Guide shipped with the system unit. System units that fail at installation or during a power up sequence will automatically go to the system diagnostics to isolate the failing field replaceable unit (FRU), or refer the user to the service representative for the ThinkPad 755CX. The trouble-shooting procedures consist of a power-on self-test, diagnostic tests, and easy-to-follow trouble-shooting charts designed to assist the user in isolating a defective machine element. The failing element can then be replaced or repaired under existing warranty provisions.

Your name, contact address, or phone number can be displayed on the screen when the system is turned on. The personal data is stored in the system non-volatile memory and is displayed with a password prompt. This helps to identify your ThinkPad. Passwords: o A Power-on Password (POP) protects the system from unauthorized use. If a POP is set, the password prompt appears: - Each time the system is turned on. - When the system is returned to normal operation from suspend mode. o A Supervisor Password provides a higher level of security than the POP. The Supervisor Password protects the system functions from being used by unauthorized users and protects the hardware configuration from unauthorized modification. The Supervisor Password prompt appears when the hardware configuration is changed. o A HDD Password (HDP) protects HDD data from unauthorized users. Once HDP is set, data on the HDD cannot be accessed without the correct HDP. Because the HDP is stored in the HDD, the data remains protected even if the HDD is removed to another system. The HDP password prompt appears: - Each time the system is turned on. - When the system is returned to normal operation from suspend mode. o The user can use the hook on the hard disk locking mechanism to leash with a user selected padlock and chain or cable. o The user can attach the Kensington** lock to the keyhole on the side of the computer. This prevents the keyboard from opening and secures the internal devices under the keyboard. User management is responsible for evaluation, selection, and implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and appropriate controls in application systems and communications facilities.

Now that there is a 3.3 volt part, it would seem reasonable to look for one. Also it would be nice to have all this stuff in the 701 form factor, rather than the 755 form factor. And finally a big zinc-air battery would be handy (see it is easy to never quite be satisfied). Anyone know about ship dates on the 755CX, or on the Pentium upgrades for the 755CE/D It is odd that there is no D ROM version of the 755CX announced.

We have a second unit, a 755CE, that we can get to work. The "Display" icon on the 755CE gives us option buttons for "Monitor" and "Device Driver" that let you set the resolution and color depth, virtual screen size, etc. The Display icon on the 755C doesn't have those button options. We have done a VINSTALL from the video disks, as well as INSTALLW on the Utility disk. Any help, hints, etc. would be most appreciated!

As a relatively new 755CE owner, I'd say that the CX is a decidedly better package for an initial purchase (assuming it's available). The two main improvements of higher-res screen and faster CPU are nice, but not overwhelming. As a graphics person, I always appreciate better screen densities, but I think would find myself going for larger fonts given that screen size isn't changing. And a P75 *should* be faster than a DX4/100, but qualitatively I'm not so sure. The L2 cache sounds interesting, however. When I come back from sabbatical in a year, I'm hoping there will be be a P100 or higher upgrade available. Can anyone in the know comment on the relative speeds of a P100 vs a good PowerPC chip?

I don't know that I'm "in the know", but from what I've read, the Pentium 90's and 100's, in raw terms, aren't as fast as the PPC 601 chip. However, in reality, after being encumbered by the various operating systems and other related hardware (specifically, Windows & the Mac's System 7.x OS), the Pentiums come out somewhat ahead of the PowerPC. This is partly due to the fact that the Mac OS is still not completely PPC-native, but rather in emulation mode (emulating the previous Motorola 68000 series chips). However, the next step seems to be the killer. Who knows when Intel will get the next generation chip out, though Pentiums running at 120 Mhz appear to be just around the corner. Before the end of this year however, you will see Macintosh machines with the next generation PowerPC chip--the 604--in them. From what I can see, the 604 will blow the doors off the Pentium and quite likely by the time Intel catches up with their next chip, Motorola will have the PPC 620 out, keeping one step ahead of them. In terms of market share, I doubt anything huge will happen, but it appears to be a safe bet that the PowerPC chip will make a decent dent, given its huge performance advantages and its relatively low price(s). I think if Win NT ever catches on (or OS/2 actually goes someplace), then the versions of these operating systems on the PPC chip will be real winners. ----- ___________________________ Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu | Practice random acts | USC School of Business (Fight on, 'SC Trojans!) | of senseless | (My opinions are mine, but since I'm | viol...err.. | right, they should be yours too.) | kindness! | --------------------------- From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Wed May 10 12:29:56 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA20943; Wed, 10 May 95 12:29:56 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id MAA22136; Wed, 10 May 1995 12:16:14 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Wed, 10 May 1995 12:16:10 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from GNAT.CS.NYU.EDU by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id MAA22120; Wed, 10 May 1995 12:16:04 -0400 Received: by GNAT.CS.NYU.EDU (5.61/1.34) id AA10800; Wed, 10 May 95 12:16:49 -0400 Date: Wed, 10 May 95 12:16:49 -0400 From: dewar@GNAT.CS.NYU.EDU (Robert Dewar) Message-Id: <9505101616.AA10800@GNAT.CS.NYU.EDU> To: elf@dgp.toronto.edu, whittle@chaph.usc.edu Subject: Re: New Model: TP755CX Cc: TP750@CS.UTK.EDU the power PC is MUCH faster than the PEntium for floating-point.

Randy, I'm currently working with the MIT Computational Structures Group on the StarT-NG supercomputer which is a parallel processor comprised of PPC 620's. I'm also on the Power Consortium's non-disclosure agreement. The 601 is has marginally faster (~10%) integer performance than a P5 running at the same clock rate. Floating point performance is significantly (~35%) faster. > Before the end of this year > however, you will see Macintosh machines with the next generation PowerPC > chip--the 604--in them. We have 120Mhz 604's right now, and they are not samples. > From what I can see, the 604 will blow the doors off the Pentium The 604 integer unit is a 64-bit version of the 601's integer unit, so you won't see much performance improvement there. They've expanded the on-chip cache, and improved the floating point unit. The big difference is the vastly increased clock rate. By the end of the year AIM is expecting to ship 166Mhz versions. If it makes any difference, the PowerPC is a much more elegant architecture IMHO than the P5. In all fairness, the PowerPC design was not crippled by an installed user base. The P6 chip, btw, is a beautiful design. A true RISC processor with 4 execution units. They provide backward compatability by executing x86 instructions as macros (remarkably similar to how the Alpha can execute VAX instructions as macros). > and quite likely by the time Intel catches up > with their next chip, Motorola will have the PPC 620 out, keeping one > step ahead of them. Unfortunately the 620 is probably not going to reach the mass market. The 620 has four execution units, compared to three on the 601 and 604, a better floating point unit and an on-chip L2 cache interface. AIM feels that the only market for this chip will be the scientific/research community. They believe that they will make more money selling enhanced versions of the 604, which is much less expensive to make. The next big PowerPC chip will be the 630, which will probably be a VLIW (very long instruction word) processor, with 18 execution units or so. > In terms of market share, I doubt anything huge will happen, but > it appears to be a safe bet that the PowerPC chip will make a decent dent, > given its huge performance advantages and its relatively low price(s). Agreed. In the PC market anything can and will happen.

As for where things are going, I don't think we're very far away from a fast PPC or Pentium, truecolour, 1k*1k TFT, hardware MPEG/digital video machine. I would be really surprised if such a box is more than a year away. Reality Engine level graphics in two or less. The question is whether the software will keep up. I once thought UNIX hung together by a thread until I started playing with DOS/Windows and the like. The sheer amount of software to play with is exciting, but the quality of the base OS's on PC's leave a lot to be desired. I have been able to do "serious" work with Linux, however. But unless something magical happens, I can't see that Linux and other PC UNIX implementations can keep up the pace, especially if they go beyond the Intel architecture. Eugene Fiume.

I doubt IBM will ever leave the Intel based behind completely. I believe the first PPC notebook is due sometime this summer... late summer. The machine itself is almost ready, but OS/2 for Power is not. Some says it's slow and not stable.... takes 5 mins to boot then crash. As soon as the OS/2 team gets the version for PPC out, the whole 'war' will become very interesting. and PPC running NT will also be very interesting. I heard that the price of the PPC notebook will cost quite a bit, initially, it was in the 5 digit range, but i hope IBM will realize no one will buy a 5 $digit notebook....definitely not everyone can afford one. But it got some neat features such as built in CD-ROM and camera. Again, Applications is what it counts. Everyone (lay people) is so used to MS products that it will be difficult to use something on a non-MS system... Double non-ms is gonna driver some people nuts.

They decided NOT to include utility and driver diskettes, but instead to make them available only on the preinstalled hard disk using disk factory. BUT, they neglected to document this, so the documentation says, contact your dealer if these diskettes are missing, and mentions nothing about disk factory. I got a pile of conflicting information from both by dealer and IBM. Some people at IBM were sure diskettes were included, some were sure they were not included. What a mess! The first time I have seen a mess of this magnitude in connection with TP's. Anyway, I am pretty sure I have the straight informatoin now, you should NOT expect to find diskettes in the packaging.

Randy, I was talking to a couple of IBM engineers a while back, and they mentioned that one of the reasons the ThinkPad battery is so expensive is because it contains an 8051 microcontroller, voltage regulator, and charge circuitry. In other words, the battery supposedly contains all the charging logic. With that in mind, does anyone know if the Lithium Ion batteries will work in older ThinkPad models, especially the 755C :) Robert -- ___________________________________________________________________________ Robert George Computer Engineer (408) 656-3316 Fax: (408) 656-2814 Army Research Laboratory/AMSRL-SS-IC/2800 Powder Mill Rd/Adelphi, MD 20783 URL: http://cs.nps.navy.mil/people/phd/george "I am Homer of Borg, prepare to be assim...

All else being equal, this would seem to deliver about twice the amount of charge time. Of course, obviously, something is *not* equal. :) ----- ___________________________ Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu | Practice random acts | USC School of Business (Fight on, 'SC Trojans!) | of senseless | (My opinions are mine, but since I'm | viol...err.. | right, they should be yours too.) | kindness! | --------------------------- From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Sat May 13 10:49:15 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA00442; Sat, 13 May 95 10:49:15 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA02890; Sat, 13 May 1995 10:41:52 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Sat, 13 May 1995 10:41:50 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from chaph.usc.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA02880; Sat, 13 May 1995 10:41:49 -0400 Received: from alcor.usc.edu (whittle@alcor.usc.edu [128.125.253.169]) by chaph.usc.edu (8.6.12/8.6.4) with ESMTP id HAA01187; Sat, 13 May 1995 07:41:47 -0700 Received: (whittle@localhost) by alcor.usc.edu (8.6.12/8.6.7+ucs) id HAA07357; Sat, 13 May 1995 07:41:46 -0700 From: Randal Whittle Message-Id: <199505131441.HAA07357@alcor.usc.edu> Subject: Re: 755CE & Lithuim Ion ?

[today, I ran the CX continuously in high power mode, doing lots of diskete and disk IO, I have 40 megs memory total, and the battery lasted 3 hours 15 minutes). So the pubvlished specs, which show a much smaller advantage lie, and merely reflect the fact that the Nicad figures are inflated while the LI results are not (I talked to one of the support people, and noted that, and he said that he was glad to hear it, and perhaps marketing had finally got the message from the help center guys complaining about the bogus battery life figures!) The MWave modem works fine, but I had to get a special 4 page FAX >from the help center to tell me exactly how to get it to work. By the way, I was tremendously impressed by those guys, they are very sharp and really work hard to assist. I had one glitch with my CX, which is that hte little blue ribbon came off the battery.

Ouch, you really know how to hurt a guy :) You do have a point, I'm going to give it a few weeks into June, just in case though. When I bought my 755cs I settled for a 350 because my previous machine had died, and I needed a new one quickly (would have had to wait for a bigger drive). 810 is a significant enough amount of space, but I could probably find something to do with the other 400 :) ____________________________________________________________________ http://www.hooked.net/bin/jesse.home After seven years, I was sent home to my family.

The 600 x 800 mode works only in 256 colors. Unlike a CRT where you can modify the resolution, the resolution of a TFT is of course fixed. This means that if you want to work in 64K color mode, you work with a small 480 x 640 image centered in the screen (note that full screen DOS sessions are also shrunk this way). 2. You cannot have both the TFT and an external VGA (480 x 640) display at the same time (for the same basic reason, the TFT is fundamentally 600 x 800 and cannot be operated at 480 x 640).

Hello All, I just ordered a 755cx and was "stunned" by its availability. I've been working in high-level Marketing positions with various computer manufacturers here in Silicon Valley for almost 16 years and still don't understand how/why some manufacturers distribute new product the way they do. I shouldn't be surprised, but was in this case. Once I decided it was time to buy a new laptop, I quickly narrowed my choices down to several of the new (and I thought) available Pentium models. I called several resellers looking for price and availability for the new TI-5000 TravelMate and the response was mostly laughter because apparently TI (and many retailers) are advertising it heavily, but don't have it in stock. Several, including CDW (Computer Discount Warehouse) indicated that they didn't expect delivery on the TI-5000 until sometime in June. No problem, if I have to wait anyway, I figured I'd wait for the IBM 755cx (which is virtually invisible in magazine advertising and only briefly mentioned on the net (this mailing list, the laptop newsgroup, and IBM's WWW Page). So, I call IBM Direct (2-days ago) for price and availability and I'm told that the 755cx won't be released until June 6th (540Mb model) and June 27th (810Mb model). Okay, I can wait...I place an order. Why call other resellers to get price and availability if IBM tells me its new laptop won't be released until June? Yesterday, I call my sales rep at CDW (I REALLY like them - one of the best mailorder houses anywhere) to order a non-related product and mention the fact that I ordered the 755cx directly from IBM and was wondering when CDW expected delivery (they're are big IBM reseller). My rep is pretty knowledgeable about the products they carry and figured mid-June would be the earliest delivery date, but decided to check his computer database anyway. To BOTH our surprise, they had just received 36 units and could ship immediately (at a lower price and NO sales tax). The 755cx shipped yesterday and will arrive via Fed-X tomorrow morning. Obviously, I cancelled my order with IBM Direct. My point is, don't believe everything manufacturers tell you. The sales rep I spoke to at IBM Direct was VERY knowledgeable about their products and didn't make a mistake. I even asked him when IBM resellers would receive their first shipments of the 755cx and he quickly told me that IBM makes them available to IBM Direct first and then resellers. He told me mid-to-late June would be the earliest and many resellers wouldn't receive them until July and August. I'm sure glad I called CDW yesterday. By the way, I have no connection with CDW except that I'm a very happy customer. I buy lots of computer stuff throughout the year and CDW is the best mailorder house I've ever purchased from. They sell most popular brands and must maintain a huge inventory because they almost always have what I want in stock ready to ship. They ship the day you order and I have NEVER had any delivery problems. But the most important things about CDW is their 30-day no-questions-asked return/refund policy and their low prices. My CDW sales rep will generally match or beat any price. Use CDW's advertised prices as a reference and then call for your best deal. Call Derek at 1-800-800-4239 x7342. Tell him Sandy sent you (I should receive a sales commission for this ;-). Call other places first, get your best price, THEN call CDW. _\//__ --Sandy / _ _ \ ( @ @ ) +-----.oOOo--()--oOOo.-------+ | InterNet : sandy@sandy.com | +-------------- Oooo.--------+ .oooO ( ) ( ) ) / \ ( (_/ \_) From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Thu May 18 16:26:42 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA27928; Thu, 18 May 95 16:26:42 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id QAA18837; Thu, 18 May 1995 16:14:37 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Thu, 18 May 1995 16:14:36 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from shell1.best.com by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id QAA18827; Thu, 18 May 1995 16:14:32 -0400 From: Received: from 204.156.137.12 (sandy.vip.best.com [204.156.137.12]) by shell1.best.com (8.6.12/8.6.5) with SMTP id NAA01840 for ; Thu, 18 May 1995 13:12:59 -0701 Date: Thu, 18 May 1995 13:12:59 -0701 Message-Id: <199505182013.NAA01840@shell1.best.com> Subject: Re: 755CX first impressions (1.2 gig, 28.8modem?)

Wait a minute...let me get this right...I missed the initial discussion. Are you telling me the new 755cx I bought (which is being delivered Friday) does NOT support 800x600 resolution at 65K colors??? This is probably the number one reason I purchased the 755cx. I do alot of image editing on my desktop system and wanted to be able to do atleast some of the work on my new laptop. The color depth is VERY important for this type of application and IBM specifically states that its active-matrix display DOES support 800x600 at 65K colors. Here is an exact quote from the 755cx product description I took from IBM's WWW site: "Now, with the ThinkPad 755cx, we bring you another 10.4-inch diagonal SVGA Black Matrix TFT displays that give you 65,536 colors at 800 x 600 resolution".

What CD drivers? Do you have a 755CD (486DX100) or 755CX (Pentium 75)?? The new 755CX (75Mhz Pentium with 800x600 @65k color display) doesn't have or need CD drivers (unless you're talking about an external CD drive). I called IBM today and their Engineering Support people confirmed that the 755CX Black active-matrix TFT display DOES indeed have a screen resolution of 800x600 at a color depth of 65,536 colors. The 755CD might support 65K color depths at 640x480, but that's a different machine with a different display. The topic reads "RE: 755cx". Which model are you talking about? Either your information is inaccurate or the 755cx video drivers and display do not support 800x600 @65K colors and IBM is guilty of false advertising. I should be able to add more to this discussion after I receive my new 755cx tomorrow. _\//__ --Sandy / _ _ \ ( @ @ ) +-----.oOOo--()--oOOo.-------+ | InterNet : sandy@sandy.com | +-------------- Oooo.--------+ .oooO ( ) ( ) ) / \ ( (_/ \_) From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Thu May 18 21:34:16 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA13264; Thu, 18 May 95 21:34:16 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id VAA05352; Thu, 18 May 1995 21:24:55 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Thu, 18 May 1995 21:24:54 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from merle.acns.nwu.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id VAA05342; Thu, 18 May 1995 21:24:52 -0400 Received: from conrad.res-hall.nwu.edu by merle.acns.nwu.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.16/20.3) id AA278156688; Thu, 18 May 1995 20:24:48 -0500 Message-Id: <199505190124.AA278156688@merle.acns.nwu.edu> X-Sender: sting@merle.acns.nwu.edu X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Version 1.4.4 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Thu, 18 May 1995 20:23:56 -0500 To: TP750@CS.UTK.EDU From: conrada-b%nwu.edu@nwu.edu (Conrad H Albrecht-Buehler) Subject: Re: 755cx - Mailorder YES, IBM-Direct NO (Long) Concerning CDW. I'd like to give the other side of the coin. I live near to CDW and have visited them a number of times in the past few years. two years ago, I saw they had a BJ-200 for $179. I called to confirm the price and the rep told me absolutely. They had gotten a great price from Canon and were passing teh savings on to their customers. Anyway, I was so excited I drove right over, grabbed a sales rep, and told him I wanted to buy one. He was nice and said "sure." He rang it up, and asked for my Visa. "the total is $389.47". I told him there must be a mistake. I only wanted ONE. He said that was the price on teh BJ200. I was so frazzled, I didn't know what to say. I told him teh phone rep had quoted me a MUCH lower price. I couldn't remember exactly how much it was, but I was sure it was under $200. He looked shocked, and said that was impossible. IT HAD NEVER BEEN SOLD FOR A PRICE EVEN NEAR THAT. "but because I see you may have gotten conflicting info, I'll see what I can do" He sold me teh printer for $210+tax. On the way out, still somewhat confused I spied a brochure, and RIGHT ON THE COVER was teh BJ200 for $179! I went back to the rep, and he said,"uh, I don't know. We don't have anymore of those. uh, what's the matter? Look, I figure you'd be greatful for my giving you such a low price." First of all it was obvious he'd lied to me completely about the price, and that it had never been sold for that price. As a naive teenager, I shyly left, still terribly confused. A week later, my friend went there, with the ad in hand, and bought another BJ200 from the same rep, and got it for $179! I went and complained to the store, and was totally ignored. CDW has not been a cheery experience for me. When the woman posted about the 755s, my admittedly uninformed first guess, was that they may have gotten them shadily. I have no way of supporting such an impression, so I won't stand by it. Also everytime I call, the phone rep gives me a guilt-trip for not immediatly buying whatever product's price I ask for. I have been very dissatisfied with CDW. I just wanted to give the other side. see ya. --Conrad -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- conrada-b@nwu.edu "You know, my father only gave me one piece of advice.

Most companies seem to forget that the employees we (as customers) interface with ARE the company from our perspective. A company is only as good as the person representing it. In your case, the CDW rep was a numbnut, so your impression of CDW is negative. Upper management at CDW probably had no idea that this guy was pissing customers off. I would have asked to speak to a manager and his manager if necessary until someone provided the service I expected. This kind of feedback is useful to companies and usually helps to improve their service. Unfortunately for most companies, human nature is to say screw-em, walk out and never do business with them again. Based on my personal experience with CDW and on similar experiences from friends who have also purchased from CDW, I know they are a really good company and I feel very comfortable dealing with them. Next time call Derek at the number I posted earlier and I think you will change your feelings. All I want from this relationship is the best possible price, friendly (knowledgeable) service, and quick delivery. CDW (Derek) has fulfilled my needs. Sorry for the CDW digression, but selecting the "right" reseller is almost as important as selecting the right ThinkPad. _\//__ --Sandy / _ _ \ ( @ @ ) +-----.oOOo--()--oOOo.-------+ | InterNet : sandy@sandy.com | +-------------- Oooo.--------+ .oooO ( ) ( ) ) / \ ( (_/ \_) From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Fri May 19 00:28:15 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA08224; Fri, 19 May 95 00:28:15 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id AAA16110; Fri, 19 May 1995 00:19:57 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Fri, 19 May 1995 00:19:55 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from GNAT.CS.NYU.EDU by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id AAA16100; Fri, 19 May 1995 00:19:54 -0400 Received: by GNAT.CS.NYU.EDU (5.61/1.34) id AA08140; Fri, 19 May 95 00:20:38 -0400 Date: Fri, 19 May 95 00:20:38 -0400 From: dewar@GNAT.CS.NYU.EDU (Robert Dewar) Message-Id: <9505190420.AA08140@GNAT.CS.NYU.EDU> To: TP750@CS.UTK.EDU Subject: 755CX >sorry, the CD was a misprint.

On another occasion, I had Thanks Ron, good feedback and I totally agree. Customers should be assertive and standup for what's right. I'm sure CDW would have honored the lower price or given Robert a refund if he spoke to a supervisor or manager. That's one of the neat things about being a customer of a large company with multiple levels of management. If you believe "they've done you wrong" and the manager you're talking to isn't any help, you can go above his head and follow the chain of command until you find someone who will help you. Most good managers don't want a customer going their boss and, even in difficult situations, will generally find a way to satisfy the customer. If Robert is correct about the new 755cx not supporting 65K color depths at a resolution of 800x600, IBM is going to have an opportunity to see some of my assertiveness.

I thought it would be my trackpoint that would die from all the Doom I'm not playing, but instead it looks like the right shift key on my CE is acting up. Minor problem: it has lifted about .5 cm to the point where I can see the underlying metal brace when looking from the side. No such lift on the left shift. It still shifts fine but it looks like it's worth fixing. Is there something obvious I should try before I bring it in?

I'd rather pay 2% more across the board than constantly wonder if item 5 of 200 has been artifically inflated in price. Add to your list of "reliable companies" DC Drives in Texas - they have always been above board with me. Also Micro(/Mac/Systems/Network)Warehouse, who lacks the best prices but always tells you if it's really instock, shipps overnight for reasonable prices, never charges till it's out the door, etc, etc. If CDW had pulled that stunt on me (and made the fatal mistake of doing it in the STORE!) I'd have been screaming at the top of my lungs. I'm not a screamer, but behavior like that (jacking the price up 50% just to see if it could be done, then _still_ selling for $40 more when called on it) should be advertised to everyone in earshot. You want to charge a premium for service, fine - I used to work in a reseller like that. We were more than the local competitors, but our policies were more flexible and out support more extensive. You want to be bargain basement and provide a minumum of service, fine. But to make up the prices as you go along and always follow the screw-em-if-you-can method is unacceptable.

When I bought a pair of T3400's from CDW (one for me and one for my dad), the price the were asking was around $1500, I thought that was a pretty good price... until the next morning. I checked the comp.sys.laptops news groups, and somebody reported buying new, complete T3400's for $1000, from PC's Complet. I called to verify, and they had 50 3400's that they were selling at that price. So, I decided to call CDW and see what they would do, after all, they do have a policy of matching prices, and it wasn't 12 hours after I had bought the machines. They wouldn't budge more than about $50 at first, but after a little persistance, and speaking to a couple of other people I got the to throw in a 8MB RAM card into the deal at no extra charge. Not exactly what I wanted from CDW, but not too bad anyway. We lost money on the deal, but CDW probably did more than it needed to to insure a happy customer. -Mike From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Fri May 19 12:34:47 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA00261; Fri, 19 May 95 12:34:47 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id MAA08989; Fri, 19 May 1995 12:22:13 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Fri, 19 May 1995 12:22:11 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from chaph.usc.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id MAA08975; Fri, 19 May 1995 12:22:08 -0400 Received: from alcor.usc.edu (whittle@alcor.usc.edu [128.125.253.169]) by chaph.usc.edu (8.6.12/8.6.4) with ESMTP id JAA14766; Fri, 19 May 1995 09:22:01 -0700 Received: (whittle@localhost) by alcor.usc.edu (8.6.12/8.6.7+ucs) id JAA00975; Fri, 19 May 1995 09:21:59 -0700 From: Randal Whittle Message-Id: <199505191621.JAA00975@alcor.usc.edu> Subject: Re: 755cx - Mailorder YES, IBM-Direct NO (Long) To: fox@FIRST.CS.NYU.EDU (David Fox) Date: Fri, 19 May 1995 09:21:58 -0700 (PDT) Cc: TP750@CS.UTK.EDU (TP) In-Reply-To: <9505191411.AA22813@FIRST.CS.NYU.EDU> from "David Fox" at May 19, 95 10:11:27 am X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL21] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > Certain mail order companies seem to have a "no bull***t" culture > which makes this work, or so it seems to me.

Interesting. I've personally bought from them about 3 or 4 times, and dealt secondhand with them several other times. One was a return of a broken drive, which they did with no problem (though they would not crossship, but not entirely unusual in the cheapo drive market). Perhaps I've been lucky, perhaps they've changed their spots in the 6-8 months since I last dealt with them.

The CD-ROM pcmcia card also works fine in the slots on my thinkpad port replicator. All in all, the Panasonic PCMCIA cd-rom co-exists just fine with the thinkpad.

Hello All, I received my 755cx today with new SVGA display and have confirmed that it does allow a color depth of 65K colors at an 800x600 resolution. I was able to install the driver without any problems under Windows. IBM's interactive ThinkPad demo program looks great at this resolution and color depth. Very impressive. Also, I know that bad pixels (TFTs) are, as IBM says on page 205 of the 755cx manual, "an intrinsic characteristic of TFT LCD technology and is not an LCD defect". I was wondering how many bad "TFTs" you can see on your ThinkPad display? My display has a single bad TFT (dot) just right of center, but the bright red color makes it standout. I find it a little distracting, but probably will get use to it. I've read several discussions of bad TFTs in LCD displays on several newsgroups. Some of the engineers who design these displays have confirmed that almost all LCD displays have some bad TFTs, it's just a question of what percentage of bad ones are acceptable to the computer manufacturer who buys them. When I've had more time to "evaluate" the 755cx, I'll post my overall impressions. So far, I'm very impressed. _\//__ --Sandy / _ _ \ ( @ @ ) +-----.oOOo--()--oOOo.-------+ | InterNet : sandy@sandy.com | +-------------- Oooo.--------+ .oooO ( ) ( ) ) / \ ( (_/ \_) <---- End Included Message ----> _\//__ --Sandy / _ _ \ ( @ @ ) +-----.oOOo--()--oOOo.-------+ | InterNet : sandy@sandy.com | +-------------- Oooo.--------+ .oooO ( ) ( ) ) / \ ( (_/ \_) From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Sat May 20 02:44:34 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA23061; Sat, 20 May 95 02:44:34 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id CAA03135; Sat, 20 May 1995 02:35:54 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Sat, 20 May 1995 02:35:52 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from ix4.ix.netcom.com by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id CAA03125; Sat, 20 May 1995 02:35:48 -0400 Received: from by ix4.ix.netcom.com (8.6.12/SMI-4.1/Netcom) id XAA05137; Fri, 19 May 1995 23:33:43 -0700 Date: Fri, 19 May 1995 23:33:43 -0700 Message-Id: <199505200633.XAA05137@ix4.ix.netcom.com> From: johnhc@ix.netcom.com (John Chan ) Subject: Re: 755CX - Color Depth / Bad "Pixels" To: Cc: TP750@CS.UTK.EDU You wrote: >My display has a single bad TFT (dot) just right of center, >but the bright red color makes it standout.

I understood that dead pixels were a fact of life, but the fact that the pixel was orange and close to the middle of my screen was too much for me! Luckily IBM Pc Direct was great about the exchange and even paid for the shipping (although Airborne Express keeps sending me bills, but that's another story ). So I guess it all boils down to how high your tolerance level is. Some people seem to get used to the dead pixel(s), while others (like me) find that the little buggers start to grate on them over time. BTW, I can't remember what is the exact number of dead pixels before IBM considers a screen defective(something like 7 or 8), but I've heard it's the lowest in the industry. - John P.S.

Hi All, My new TP755CX came with a program called TranXit which allows infrared transfers between the TP755CX and any computer which is properly equipped. The software manufacturer recommends and sells an Adaptec infrared adapter for my other PC ($99.00) to complete the infrared link. It appears transfers at speeds up to 115.2K/sec are possible. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience using infrared as a transfer medium and could comment on the pros and cons of using this link for transferring data between systems. It seems like a very convenient way of linking my TP with my main system. The software looks very similar in capabilities to laplink and allows transfers via serial or parallel cable besides the infrared. Any other manufacturers making IR adapters for this purpose? _\//__ --Sandy / _ _ \ ( @ @ ) +-----.oOOo--()--oOOo.-------+ | InterNet : sandy@sandy.com | +-------------- Oooo.--------+ .oooO ( ) ( ) ) / \ ( (_/ \_) From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Sat May 20 20:43:51 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA20082; Sat, 20 May 95 20:43:51 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id UAA05399; Sat, 20 May 1995 20:32:00 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Sat, 20 May 1995 20:31:56 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from armon.rain.com by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id UAA05387; Sat, 20 May 1995 20:31:51 -0400 Received: by armon.rain.com (Smail3.1.29.1 #4) id m0sCyvk-000DzUC; Sat, 20 May 95 17:31 PDT Message-Id: From: mehdi@armon.rain.com (Mehdi Attaran) Subject: Re: Infrared Data Transfer To: sandy@sandy.com Date: Sat, 20 May 1995 17:31:40 -0700 (PDT) Cc: TP750@CS.UTK.EDU In-Reply-To: <199505202139.OAA03523@shell1.best.com> from "sandy@sandy.com" at May 20, 95 02:39:29 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text > I was wondering if anyone has had any experience using infrared > as a transfer medium and could comment on the pros and cons of > using this link for transferring data between systems. It seems I have used the IR link between 755CE's and 755CD's quite a few times... It works as advertised. The IR window in front of the TP's is very small, and I didn't have much luck with the machines that were docked (i.e. had to use the front port.) We've been able to transfer huge file (i.e. AVI files as large as 100 megs) without any problems. I like how TranXit works... it is very much line LapLink. I've never tried distances over a couple of feet between the machines. The only other machines with IR capabilities that I'm aware of are the Sharp Wizards, and the HP palmtops. I bought an HP Laserjet 5MP which also had IR built in, but HP recalled them before I had a chance to see how wireless printing works. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Mehdi Attaran mehdi@armon.rain.com ..!uunet!m2xenix!armon!mehdi | | Data: (503) 642-3270 Voice: (503) 649-0719 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Mon May 22 02:19:30 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA26129; Mon, 22 May 95 02:19:30 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id BAA14381; Mon, 22 May 1995 01:59:41 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Mon, 22 May 1995 01:59:39 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from garm.adm.ku.dk by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id BAA14371; Mon, 22 May 1995 01:59:36 -0400 Received: from odont.ku.dk (server1.odont.ku.dk [130.225.107.2]) by garm.adm.ku.dk (8.6.10/8.6) with ESMTP id HAA15087 for ; Mon, 22 May 1995 07:59:29 +0200 Received: from TS/MERCURY by odont.ku.dk (Mercury 1.21); 22 May 95 07:59:14 +1 Received: from MERCURY by TS (Mercury 1.21); 22 May 95 07:59:12 +1 From: "Anders Nattestad" Organization: Dental School, Univ. of Copenhagen To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Date: Mon, 22 May 1995 07:59:11 GMT+100 Subject: Introducing me and my tp755c Priority: normal X-Mailer: Pegasus Mail/Windows (v1.22) Message-Id: <46533232EFF@odont.ku.dk> Hello all, I have recently bought a 755c with 20 Mb RAM and 340 Mb harddisk. I removed the dos+windows installation and placed the preview release of windows 95 (build 347) on it. I have had no real problems with the installation, but are still lacking 256 color support and sound. I suppose I could use the old drivers, but I have gotten around to this yet. I am quite happy with the machine, but shocked by the high prices on extensions. For instance, I wanted to upgrade my memory from the initial 4 Mb to more. The price of the original 16 Mb ram from IBM was 10.000 danish kroner (appr. 1.800 US$). I then found another supplier which sold me 16 Mb Transcend RAM for half. Then I wanted to get a larger harddisk, but again could not afford the original IBM 810 Mb harddisk and bought an IBM OEM 720 Mb harddisk for a third of the price of the original 810 Mb. Now however this has lead to some problems, because the new harddisk was not recognized by the system and after trying the new one -. the old one does not work. IBM hotline says there is a mechanical error = bad news. Well I suppose this will be sorted out . I am interested in sharing experience with both Windows 95 and Linux on the 755c. I was supposed to install Linux this weekend - but the hardware failure stopped this. BTW I am a research scientist and university teacher in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and must I admit: somewhat of an addict for getting the most out of my equipment and money.

I have a 755Cs with 540 HD and 8MB RAM, just so you know what I am using Jason Sethi jollymon@expert.cc.purdue.edu From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Mon May 22 10:56:57 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA21209; Mon, 22 May 95 10:56:57 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA17542; Mon, 22 May 1995 10:06:58 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Mon, 22 May 1995 10:06:54 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from esdmaster.dsd.northrop.com by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA17531; Mon, 22 May 1995 10:06:50 -0400 Received: from mail-relay.dsd.northrop.com by esdmaster.dsd.northrop.com with smtp (Smail3.1.28.1 #6) id m0sDY8e-0004tfC; Mon, 22 May 95 09:07 CDT Received: from bart.dsd.northrop.com by mail-relay.dsd.northrop.com with smtp (Smail3.1.28.1 #5) id m0sDY8c-0002nbC; Mon, 22 May 95 09:07 CDT Received: by bart.dsd.northrop.com (Smail3.1.28.1 #7) id m0sDY8b-0002wvC; Mon, 22 May 95 09:07 CDT Message-Id: From: strat@dsd.northrop.com (Scott Stratmoen) Subject: Re: 755cx - Mailorder YES, IBM-Direct NO (Long) To: conrada-b%nwu.edu@nwu.edu (Conrad H Albrecht-Buehler) Date: Mon, 22 May 1995 09:07:16 -0500 (CDT) Cc: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU (ThinkPad 750 Mailing List) In-Reply-To: <199505190124.AA278156688@merle.acns.nwu.edu> from "Conrad H Albrecht-Buehler" at May 18, 95 08:23:56 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit [lots of stuff deleted] > see ya. --Conrad > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > conrada-b@nwu.edu > "You know, my father only gave me one piece of advice.

This means that when someone gives you a price, ask for a better one. Then tell them that you are a stock holder and want the stock holder discount. (No kidding it does work.) Humor aside, when you get a price that you like out of CDW you must place the order on the spot. Even if you live down the street, put the item on will call. The people in the store have no reason to honor any deal which was discussed over the phone. As you can see, I have dealt with CDW a few times myself.... -- Scott A.

The Raven has the identical specs as the Panasonic, it has the same drivers, and it's made by Matsushita. I haven't seen the Panasonic as distributed in the U.S., but if looks like a duck, ... . I largely agree with the above sentiments; my only beefs are a lack of drivers for OS/2 and for Linux. Anyone have any word on either of these? I'm especially interested in a Linux driver, but I think that it may be far off. Apparently, an OS/2 driver is in the cards, but after having given OS/2 an honest shot, it doesn't have anything to recommend it that Linux doesn't do better (OK, so I'm a UNIX bigot). The last straw was the information hypeway stuff they put in the Warp Bonus Pack: a badly assembled, badly documented package that didn't even include real TCP/IP support. The Windows shareware or Linux alternatives are far superior. Oops, I went off topic. One small thing I noticed that argues for an internal CD is that your footprint dramatically increases the moment the hook up the CD player to your laptop. On the other hand you have to find a place to stick the floppy disk drive on the 755CD, and I still use the floppy a surprising amount. Eugene Fiume.

I didn't say the above, but I can offer a view. The difference between a CE and a CD here after lots of bargaining was about $CDN1500. After the CD-ROM, that left $CDN1000, and for that, I'm losing a MIDI port, and low-quality (remember I'm a graphics guy) video scan conversion. I really would have liked both of these features, but they're easy to buy for less than $1000. Unfortunately I'm sure I'd end up spending more than that on the video, given my "quality" pretensions, so I'm trying to keep away from the stores. As for Robert's points regarding the Panasonic, he's quite correct. I don't bother with batteries on mine (though I will when in Europe). Warp doesn't support it nor can install it from CD-ROM. So I created 30 floppies and felt sorry for myself, thinking I should have got a supported quad speed CD player through a parallel port. But then I realised that almost anyone who updates either PCMCIA or video drivers under WARP is going to have to make some diskette images (but not 30 diskettes worth). Again, Linux is better on this score. I can't install Linux from my CD-player, but I can take the entire Linux distribution off CD-ROM and put it in a DOS/Windows partition, and build Linux from there. EZ. The Warp people could easily have done this too. Eugene Fiume.

You can use Windows 95's Western Digital drivers for 256 color on the LCD (actually shades of grey on my machine, a TP750 mono) and 256 colors at up to 1024x768 on an external monitor. The trick is having the following line in CONFIG.SYS: DEVICE=C:\IBMVESA\VESA.EXE Make sure that the file is there and that there is also a properly configured file called FRATE.DAT in the same directory. The Video Features Disk installation handles this. The VESA.EXE program is apparently some kind of BIOS extension. I've seen at least one other machine (an AT&T Globalyst) with the same kind of situation under Win95. Note that this device driver can't be loaded high; don't waste your time trying. The Win95 drivers are great; you can change resolutions on the fly. I work on my external monitor most of the time in 800x600. When I start crowding the screen with lots of windows, I just go into Desktop Properties and switch to 1024x768 and wait for about 2 seconds. The ThinkPad drivers for Win3.1 work also, but there's no reason I can see to use them. As for audio support, you'll have to use the ThinkPad Win3.1 drivers here. The good news is that they work just fine for WAV and MIDI. Just run the install program on the Audio Features Disk. For some reason, though, the install program doesn't properly update SYSTEM.INI. The README on the Audio Features Disk indicates the proper settings. Win95 seems especially stable on my ThinkPad, more so than on other machines I've tested it on. I think you'll like running it on your 'Pad.

I've been contemplating this myself, yet there's one parameter concerning the operation of these modems that's proven extremely difficult to pin down, and that concerns the time it takes for data to make their way through one of these devices. It's only milliseconds, but the difference between 150ms and 600ms is very significant, especially when running an interactive session on the called system. One is zippy and the other is a slug, especially with any typing ahead. These numbers are in fact the actual performance of a Telebit T-3000 vs. the MWave modem in a TP-755CE. So - what would really help here is if those who have these could make some measurements and report them, so a list could be assembled and comparisons made. I realize this is not an easy thing to accurately determine without proper test instruments, however a pretty good informal observation can be made via the ping utility supplied with most of the TCP/IP software packages. First, traceroute to your IP gateway ('hop check' in Winsock). The first hop shown may or may not be the same place, in any event note the address of the first hop (often a terminal server) then ping it and get the round trip time. It may take 20-30 pings to get a good average, and if it's varying wildly it'd be best to try again some time when the system isn't as significantly loaded. What I've learned so far - Telebit T-3000 (reference) 150 ms TDK 14.4 PCMCIA 270 ms MWave software V1.0 650 ms MWave software V1.1 600 ms Of course these are all taken at 14.4, but the basic idea remains the same.

Cc: Joshua Hosseinoff It was the right hand hinge next to the status LEDs. It was a very common problem on the 700 series that the hinges had too little lubrication. The case would creak as you opened it. The hinges were just flexed too much every time it opened and the right one finally gap'd open about a quarter of an inch. My IBM guy had tried to lubricate it about a month before it broke but to no avail. There were warning messages posted on the Compuserve Thinkpad Forum to the effect that you could ruin the color display if you tried to oil the hinges. I figured that my IBM guy would just get me a new display if he messed it up with his lubricant but he ended up replacing it because of the cracked hinge instead. Hope this helps you isolate your problem. Don. >Sorry, could you explain which hinge specifically as I have a problem on >my 700 and was wondering if it's what you describe.

I've ordered a ThinkPad 755CD and am waiting anxiously for it to arrive (around June 5th they say). In the meantime, I am looking to sell/trade my current system, a Toshiba 4600C. Here are the details: Toshiba T4600C, 486SL-enhanced 33MHz 12 MB RAM TFT Color Active Matrix Screen (perfect - NO stuck pixels) 340 MB Hard Disk, 1.44 MB Floppy 1 Type II, 1 Type III+ PCMCIA slots 40 MB PCMCIA Hard Disk 2 MB SRAM PCMCIA Card Parallel/SCSI Adapter 2 AC Adapters 2 BallPoint Mice (mouses?) w/QuickPort connectors (snaps on side of unit) 2 Toshiba NiMH Batteries Dual Battery Quick Charger Black Toshiba Carry Case DOS 6.22, WFW 3.11, OS/2 Warp Stacker, Procomm Plus/Win, Office 4.2 All the standard Toshiba stuff (MaxTime, etc.) Printed & HyperText Manuals I used to use this to shuttle between the office and home, but now I have a home office and no longer need it. The forthcoming '755CD will be my main machine (I also ordered a Dock I). I am still looking for a light weight machine to replace my paper-based PIM (a Franklin Day-Planner). The Toshiba is just too heavy/bulky. Mayble something along the lines of a ThinkPad 500 series, or a GateWay Handbook, OmniBook 600, Dauphin DTR-1, etc. You get the idea. If you have a small/light machine and would like to trade (or partial trade) for the above mentioned Toshiba system, please send email to jlee@ece.orst.edu. I promise not to clutter this group further with non-ThinkPad stuff (but after all, I *am* waiting for one to arrive...)

This is one heck of a machine in a "subnotebook" form factor. Except that the expanding keyboard is the same size as the 755CD, as is the dual-scan or active matrix screen. While IBM couldn't find enough real estate for the MWave, they do have a DSP for sound and 14.4Kbps modem. -- Adam Lee Wilkinson Portable Computing Technology Specialist Ford Motor Co. - Marketing & Sales Systems awilkin1@ren0010.so.ford.com From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Wed May 24 11:28:58 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA23682; Wed, 24 May 95 11:28:58 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id LAA17187; Wed, 24 May 1995 11:12:11 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Wed, 24 May 1995 11:12:08 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from esdmaster.dsd.northrop.com by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id LAA17174; Wed, 24 May 1995 11:12:06 -0400 Received: from mail-relay.dsd.northrop.com by esdmaster.dsd.northrop.com with smtp (Smail3.1.28.1 #6) id m0sEI6H-0004uIC; Wed, 24 May 95 10:11 CDT Received: from bart.dsd.northrop.com by mail-relay.dsd.northrop.com with smtp (Smail3.1.28.1 #5) id m0sEI6F-0002nbC; Wed, 24 May 95 10:11 CDT Received: by bart.dsd.northrop.com (Smail3.1.28.1 #7) id m0sEI6E-0002wvC; Wed, 24 May 95 10:11 CDT Message-Id: From: strat@dsd.northrop.com (Scott Stratmoen) Subject: Re: 28.8 PCMCIA modem recommendation To: whittle@chaph.usc.edu (Randal Whittle) Date: Wed, 24 May 1995 10:11:53 -0500 (CDT) Cc: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU (ThinkPad 750 Mailing List) In-Reply-To: <199505240223.TAA28856@alcor.usc.edu> from "Randal Whittle" at May 23, 95 07:23:53 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > Mine does fine.

A friend of mine who is an engineer there says that they will be bringing out a PCMCIA version of their Power series of 28.8 modems later this summer or so. The main problem they are having is that the transformer used in the DAA to interface to the telephone line doesn't downsize well to fit in a PCMCIA case. It changes the characteristics of the thing so much that it affects other stuff in the modem. When they get the problems ironed out I plan to get one of their modems. The Power series of Motorola modems uses flash memory for the DSP and the program rom so you can upgrade both using software. I understand that only the DSP code in the Megahertz modem is in flash rom so you can not upgrade the code later if a problem is found in the modem's code. My friend also said that the company that started V.FC wants royalty payments for V.FC and that AT&T will *never* pay royalty payments to another company for an essentially obsolete protocol. Thus the modems based on the AT&T chip set will never be V.FC compatible. There is a lively discussion of modems/modem technology in the newsgroup comp.dcom.modems for those that are interested.

I have been using the Optima 28.8 PCMCIA for a couple weeks now. It works just fine. It has flash BIOS and X-Jack. The Thinkpad PCMCIA drivers recognize the card with no problems. Additionally it powers down to a mode where it only uses 5 mA. The Megahertz 28.8 only powers down to 50 mA. Maybe those batteries will last longer!

Don Ramsey. The problem with comp.dcom.modems is that for the most part the people contributing to that group are mis-informed. Those in the know are either not interested in the usenet or are bound by one or more NDAs. For example have you ever asked yourself why there may be 50 modems reviewed by Computer Shopper which use the SAME chip set but have different performance? Basically the DAA for high speed QAM modems must be very linear. Some companies get cheap and play with the reference DAA design. But what is a reference design? All (most?) modem chip companies will supply you (under a NDA) a reference design for the complete modem and documentation. All you need to start your own modem company is to stick some plastic around their design, change a few things for product differentiation, modify the supplied documentation into your manual and come up with a slick marketing plan. In other words, for the most part, all these modems are basically the same! Brand loyalty is amusing to watch.... -- Scott A.

I will be shortly...just placed the order yesterday after reading through the latest issue of BYTE magazine. They did a review of PCMCIA (now called PC Card) modems, with the results as follows: 1) Practical Peripherals ProClass 288 2) Hayes Optima 288 3) Megahertz V.34 All three of these modems sport the x-jack style connecter, so the Megahertz is no longer the only ball game in town. Just to quickly summarize BYTE's results, the Hayes had the highest throughput, the Practical ProClass had the highest "interoperability" (a measure of the likelihood of making a V.34 connection), and the Megahertz had nothing special. As has been previously pointed out in this thread, the Megahertz modem only supports the V.34 standard, while the other two support both V.34 and V.FC. Both the Practical and the Hayes modems use Rockwell chipsets, while the Megahertz uses an AT&T chipset. My decision to go with the Hayes was based upon its respectable test scores along with its lower price, about $50 less than either 1 or 3 above. Also, for you OS/2er's out there, Hayes is the only manufacturer which claims to support OS/2. This may be important with respect to initialization strings for native OS/2 comm/fax software. Thanks to all who responded to my questions. I'll post my findings once I get up and running. Regards, -- Karl E.

Since this isn't a modem group I first need to ask what "the DAA for high speed QAM modems" means. Furthermore, if they are basically the same why do they have different tested performance?

Brand loyalty is amusing to watch.... Only when it's based on the belief that the performance will be signifigantly different. My modem criteria have always been, in decreasing order: Price, Warrantee period, and how much hassle they will give me in warr replacement (if I know). Megahertz tipped this a bit by adding "Really cool feature" into the list, but their 5 year replacement policy was a big plus. Plus, for anyone who somehow still doesn't have a PCMCIA modem, they are way cool about replacing the modem. They FedExed me a replacement when I was on vacation once I convinced them I had made all the adjustements possible. Had it in my hand in less than 14 hours and a full 30 days to mail the original one back to them. Didn't have to provide a receipt, whatever. (Of course, with the modem model less than a year old, it _had_ to be in warr....)

NeXTStep is notorious for system requirements. I don't know anything about the specifics of running NS on a Thinkpad, but I have looked into running it on my desktop. 8MB is probably not enough RAM to do anything useful, but the system will boot in 2-bit mono. As for 340MB of disk space, that'll be enough for the base setup, but the developer's edition requires 400MB. The system would have to be installed off of CD-ROM, so you'd also have to have a compatible drive and adaptor. Seeing as how NS is so expensive, personally I'd want be able to run it quite well. An 8/340 config won't. If you want more help, I might be of limited assistance, but you should also try the comp.sys.next.{hardware|advocacy|misc} newsgroup hierarchy. Good luck, and if you do try, let me know how it goes. -Mike From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Fri May 26 23:12:34 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA00498; Fri, 26 May 95 23:12:34 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id XAA06900; Fri, 26 May 1995 23:06:04 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Fri, 26 May 1995 23:06:02 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from chaph.usc.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id XAA06888; Fri, 26 May 1995 23:05:59 -0400 Received: from alcor.usc.edu (whittle@alcor.usc.edu [128.125.253.169]) by chaph.usc.edu (8.6.12/8.6.4) with ESMTP id UAA15879; Fri, 26 May 1995 20:05:57 -0700 Received: (whittle@localhost) by alcor.usc.edu (8.6.12/8.6.7+ucs) id UAA13616; Fri, 26 May 1995 20:05:56 -0700 From: Randal Whittle Message-Id: <199505270305.UAA13616@alcor.usc.edu> Subject: Re: NeXTSTEP on Thinkpads To: mschaef@cs.utexas.edu (Mike Schaeffer) Date: Fri, 26 May 1995 20:05:55 -0700 (PDT) Cc: TP750@CS.UTK.EDU (TP) In-Reply-To: from "Mike Schaeffer" at May 26, 95 08:25:53 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL21] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > NeXTStep is notorious for system requirements.

As for 340MB of disk space, that'll be To me, the question is: what software is there available for running on the NeXTstep OS? If an operating system is to be judged on merits and technical prowess alone, then perhaps NeXTstep or OS/2 would be king of all PC's-- but without significant native software, what good is the OS (unless you have highly specialized requirements)? Yet another reason I find a Mac preferable to OS/2--a Mac has apps written to run on it (and hey, it can even emulate Windows fairly well). Sure, I wish it could multitask 1/4 as well as OS/2 can, but at least I don't have to run Windows apps to make my Mac useful. If I were to be mean, I'd say the Lotus SmartSuite is about the only reason OS/2 has for living. ;) I presume NeXTstep has the same problem? What software is available for it? Perhaps it is useful for persons with highly specialized needs. ----- ___________________________ Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu | Practice random acts | USC School of Business (Fight on, 'SC Trojans!) | of senseless | (My opinions are mine, but since I'm | viol...err.. | right, they should be yours too.) | kindness! | --------------------------- From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Fri May 26 23:40:03 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA11434; Fri, 26 May 95 23:40:03 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id XAA08536; Fri, 26 May 1995 23:34:59 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Fri, 26 May 1995 23:34:58 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from shadow.net by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id XAA08526; Fri, 26 May 1995 23:34:56 -0400 Received: (dwhite@localhost) by shadow.net (8.6.10/jc-1.0) id XAA17926; Fri, 26 May 1995 23:39:00 -0400 Date: Fri, 26 May 1995 23:38:59 -0400 (EDT) From: Don Whiteside To: Thinkpad List Subject: Replacement HD Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I am on the horns of a dilemma.... I've decided that I absolutely can't live with this 170M anymore. So time to replace this HD. I'm gonna buy a 2.5 and put it in the plastic case. I guess I'll pawn my 2.5 off on someone somewhere... So in the course of looking around, I found a Toshiba 810M for $615! Except, it's 19mm high. Oops. The IBM in the case is 17mm and fills the case. I can get the Toshiba 540M for $540 and it's just 12mm high, but paying $1 a M chafes me, and I think I would outgrow it eventually. I'd like this drive to last me the life of the 'Pad... Toshiba apparently has two models of 2.5 drives, the "V" series (the MK1926FCV is the 815M version) are 12.7mm high, the others (the MK2628FC is the 810 Worldwide Technologies has) are 19mm. Anyone done this little surgery with a slightly larger drive? The IBM 810M drive appears to be about $800, so it's a respectable price savings. I haven't found a price on the Toshiba V series yet....

Wouldn't you know it, right after I deleted the latest batch, I find out I'm doing a presentation next week on a 1024x768 LCD projector. I'll be using Lotus Freelance for Windows so I need to get external SVGA support under Win-OS/2 working. Here's the situation til now: I installed Warp with Win-OS/2 in VGA mode. Tested Win-OS/2 in VGA mode -- worked OK. Connected an external monitor and installed WD90C24 drivers. Changed resolution to 1024x768x256. OS/2 came up in 1024x768x256, but double-clicking the Win-OS/2 full screen icon results in a "Cannot start -- make sure the path is correct..." error. I was able to start Win-OS/2 by typing "win" from a DOS full screen prompt, but it came up 640x480x???. I switched back to 640x480x256 and was still unable to start Win-OS/2. I suspect if I went back to VGA everything would work OK, but that defeats the purpose of all these contortions I'm going through. Has anyone got a setup similar to this? I'm on a TP750 mono. Ideally I'd like 1024x768 in both OS/2 and Win-OS/2 when hooked up to an external monitor, with the TP autosensing and dropping back to 640x480x256 for both when there's no monitor attached. I'll settle for 1024x768x256 in *any* way under Win-OS/2. Help! -- John H.

You can try using "floppy=thinkpad" on the lilo boot prompt to get around this problem. The "floppy=thinkpad" is only supported in later kernels (above 1.1.70 ish?) so it may not work. Newer Thinkpads don't seem to have this problem anymore. If the Slackware you are booting doesn't work then either upgrade to a newer slackware or there are some disks you can get with a kernel compiled with the disk change sense reversed. Hope this helps.

I got mine right before I headed back to HK for vacation. Anyway, there WAS quite a wait (backorder) on the Zip Drive and Disks. I got mine from PC Connection CDW sells them too. Both are US Mail order companies. As far as I know, they do ship internationally, so you might want to check that out. I don't know their non 800 number, but CDW has an email address: info@cdw.com You could probably ask them for a non-800 number. BTW, the ZIP drive works great. But one thing! They came with a 110volt AC Adapter. They sell a Universal one. I ordered mine, but never received it. I guess I left since. Anyway, good luck in finding the numbers. //---------------------------\\ \\ WAI-SHAN LAM // //---------------------------\\ \\ waishan@ibm.net // // Wai_Shan_Lam@Brown.edu \\ \\ 72124.2644@CompuServe.Com // //---------------------------\\ From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Mon May 29 15:22:36 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA18034; Mon, 29 May 95 15:22:36 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id PAA29309; Mon, 29 May 1995 15:04:06 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Mon, 29 May 1995 15:04:01 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from asimov.cnam.fr by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id PAA29297; Mon, 29 May 1995 15:03:58 -0400 Received: from (eronald@localhost) by asimov.cnam.fr id VAA15977 (8.6.12/); Mon, 29 May 1995 21:03:44 +0200 From: eronald@cnam.fr (Edmund Ronald) Date: Mon, 29 May 1995 21:03:44 +0200 Message-Id: <199505291903.VAA15977@asimov.cnam.fr> To: sting@merle.acns.nwu.edu, tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Subject: Re: Linux Help tell lilo, floppy=thinkpad and locate the thinkpad linux FAQ.

Furthermore, if they are basically the > same why do they have different tested performance? Am I missing the > point? Sorry. Good questions. DAA stands for "Data Access Arrangement" It's not worth going into the politics of why they exist or info how they are designed. Basically the DAA is the circuitry that couples the modem to the phone line, protects the line / modem from each other and detects ringing (sometimes also deals with caller ID). QAM is Quadrature Amplitude Modulation. Typically QAM is used for modems 2400 baud and above (except for Telebit which used multi-carrier AM modulation). (Its that noise you hear when modems are talking). For what its worth, with QAM amplitude and phase reproduction is important. Many modems use the same chip set (i.e. from AT&T or Rockwell). The only difference is the manufacture of the modem's implementation of the DAA. If the DAA does distorts the signal (i.e. adds amplitude or phase distortion) errors are introduced. This translates into a lower overall throughput (i.e. lower performance). -- Scott A.

It's not clear that there is "a lot" of cost difference between a great modem and a poor modem (given the same basic modem chip set). What does happen is that when you build one million modems, plus, per year every cent adds up. That is when cost becomes a driver. "Performance is expected, but cost is still king." Good words, but many times the expected part is ignored. -- Scott A.

All I need is a copy of that message.

Martin Smith mailed me his system.ini and I was able to figure out the problem. Apparently the gamma copy of Warp with Win-OS/2 I have failed to add an entry for the WD90C24 driver. The entries for the WD90C31 were there so I guess this is (was?) a bug in the installation program. I manually copied Martin's entry (4 lines) and it worked. While I'm at it, has anybody gotten 1024x768 non-interlaced on an external monitor under Warp? I've tried messing with the TP video stuff and the frate.dat file with the tpadvesa program but it doesn't seem to change anything except DOS mode stuff. _______________________________________________________________________ |\ ______________________________________________________________________\ | | | | | John H.

A little unusual for us, as Mac resellers, to be selling into the Intel market, but we just brought into inventory some IBM brand ThinkPad batteries for the ThinkPad 750 and 750c. These are NiMH style, which fortunately avoids the memory affect so often found in cheaper Nickel-Cadmium style. FRU p/n is 66G2820, and p/n otherwise is 66G2846. Please do not ask me if they will work in other ThinkPads - I have no way of knowing but assume not. You may try this for more info: IBM - 800-765-4747 Phone 24 hrs; 7days; Online: AOL, Prodigy Condition of these is like-new in opened IBM box. Dealer cost is a cool $150, with retail somewhere near $200, for these "True-Blue" batteries. All have the plastic protector/cover to prevent accidental shorts while being carried outside the notebook. Warranty - "DOA" warranty only. Price is as follows: Qty 1-2 pricing - $79 Qty 3-5 pricing - $70 Qty 6-10 pricing - $65 Qty 11 or more pricing - $60 Note: Three pieces are loose without IBM box. Still like-new condition and in our opinion, the best value if you intend to use these immediately and not resell them. We'll sell these for $60 each, but you must take all three to get these. DOA warranty still applies. Please - counteroffer considered for entire lot only. Or we'll trade two (2) batteries for one (1) piece of 4-meg, 72-pin, 70ns SIMM or faster, up t the entire inventory. That's an incredible deal if you sell IBM parts. Total pieces available are 30-40. Terms: We ship COD-cash/money order/certified check (approved dealers and previous customers-in-good-standing can pay company or personal check). No credit cards or international sales.

Tell us what kind of machine you have, how it's configured (how much memory/disk, what accessories, etc.), and what operating system(s) you are using. Thanks, Robert, for getting me in here. Sorry for geeking out on you. I'm a systems analyst in a company of about 100 PCs & Macs, including one 755CD, one 755C, one 360 and an ever-increasing number of 360C's (about 12 right now): typically 20 x 340, all on WFW 3.11, all with USR Sportster 28.8 PCMCIA modems (except the 755CD, of course) and Xircom PCMCIA Ethernet Cards, using the Netware 4.0 client vlms on _802.3 and _II frame types (haven't yet flown solo on the _II). Several are on docking bars for external monitor, keyboard, etc. Most are running WIN32s and WinTCP (some are on Chameleon), in a dual boot configuration for the LAN & remote access to Lotus Notes. Possibly going to QEMM v7.5, if it doesn't conflict with the video & the rapid resume-- I'm testing it this week. Yeah, it keeps me busy. We are buying IBMs because they're the easiest to open up & troubleshoot/upgrade (we also have 5 other brands in the house, which we no longer buy) and nobody's Trackpoint knock-offs have come close to the original-- yet. My current dilemma is getting the 755CD to accept DRAM cards. Even IBM's crap out after a couple of weeks. Any tips would be much appreciated. ___ @( oo )@ ( .. ) Michael J.

Hi, Brian Perry , Senior Software Engineer, Olivetti North America. I am the NT systems support engineer for a infrastructure group supporting open systems banking applications. I am experimenting with tools running on the ThinkPad for customer support. I have an IBM 360C with 20 Meg RAM, 510 Meg HD, and IBM audio system. The OS is Windows NT 3.5.1 ( 944 Build ), dual boot with WFW 311. Expect to upgrade soon to Windows 95. I use a Parallel Pocket Ethernet Adapter for Network ( WFW only ) connectivity and Microcom VFAST external modem for remote ( use RAS under NT and WFW ). Evaluating PCMCIA network and modem cards for use under both operating systems. Does anyone have any info on display drivers that run under NT for 640X480 256 colors? I know that the IBM360C supports that mode under Windows but I can not find drivers for the same under NT. Several of the software packages do not diplay correctly with 16 colors. I have installed the IBM Audio accessory in the IBM360C and it works great under Windows. I would like to have it work for Windows NT. Are there any drivers available for the IBM Audio for Windows NT ? Thanks for your help.. :-} Brian Perry, brianp@mail.spk.olivetti.com Olivetti North America brianp@nbslib.isc-br.com Spokane, Washington, USA voice: (509) 927-5146 0800-1700 PST8PDT M-F Pager 1-800-946 4646 pin 1122397 FAX: (509) 927-5613 24 hrs.

On a different but related subject, I too was in contact with both the mobiles group and the OS/2 group today about problems with APM functions under Warp. I couldn't even get anyone very interested in these problems which were first reported in November of 1994, let alone assurance that a fix would eventually be provided. In fact, the only suggestion they could offer was to upgrade to a newer machine which uses the MWave chip and therefore also uses a newer, different BIOS than that which is used in the TP355, 360, and 750 series machines (!). I would expect this type of reply from one of the second-tier manufacturers, but coming from IBM, this really surprises me. I don't want to do as Scott has done and dump OS/2 in favor of Windows, but these features ought to work as advertised, dammit! The APAR which was generated to deal with these problems in 11/94 (#15544) has now been closed out without any type of forthcoming fix...good work, IBM! Anyway, I'm not done with these guys just yet... Can anyone who is running on either a TP701 or a TP755 verify that APM functions such as suspend/resume and hibernation work as advertised under OS/2 Warp? Thanks much. -- Karl E.

I'm running OS/2 Warp with a TP755Cs. All the APM features work, except that I have not tested hybernation, which I have no interest in. It is best to install the OS/2 Thinkpad features APM stuff from the features diskette that comes with the TP. It has more options than the APM that ships with Warp, although the latter do work fine with the TP. ----------------------------------- Roger J. Buffington 1L, USC Law Center AB6WR Go Trojans!!

I use suspend and hibernation all the time on my 750 with no probs. Perhaps this is a 3xx specific problem. I never use the password, but I thought that that problem was fixed several thinkpad disks back. I have only two nits, which some might call problems. I used to hibernate at least every day, but recently I've taken to leaving the battery out of the machine and taking the power brick home instead in order to save my battery. The machine will not let you hibernate without the battery in place (unless you booted with the battery in place!). This means I have to boot at least once a day, or pop in the battery. Another bother is that I have to reinitialize my PCMCIA cards (pop them out and back in) after hibernation. Everything works afterwards. This is in contrast to Windows, where hibernation with TCPIP software installed led to a lockup of biblical proportions on wakeup. My guess is that the problem is fixed, and the person you talked to at IBM is (typically) clueless. ---------------------------- Victor Kress Geophysical Laboratory 5251 Broad Branch Road N.W.

Adaptec is the only one, as far as I know, which also support OS/2. I use the Adaptec with my NEC CD-ROM and Zip Drive. Both work fine. the only possible problem are connectors.

Hook up an external monitor and disable the LCD display. Start a full screen DOS session and run the command "svga on". Go back to OS/2's setup notebook and you should find options for 800x600 and 1024x768. Select one and reboot.

Clueless, yes. Fixed, no. First of all, Chris Hanson was correct when he stated that the suspend/resume problem only occurs when the power-on password is enabled. Maybe no big deal to some, but my situation here at work requires that I use the password. With the password enabled, the machine will lock hard more often than not when attempting to use suspend/resume. Secondly, this is not 3xx series specific. In fact, I was first made aware of the problem by one of the 750 users on this mailing list. To demonstrate this to yourself, try this: With your PCMCIA card installed and your AC adapter plugged in and powered-up, start your machine and then initiate hibernation. Now power your machine back on with the battery removed and see if it doesn't result in a lockup which requires the sevices of the reset button in order to recover from. To be experiencing these problems is one thing; to have IBM just blow it off as unimportant is another. I had assumed (incorrectly, I guess) that IBM would stand behind its products. I don't think it's too much to ask that IBM's products work as advertised. -- Karl E.

The standard wd0c24 drivers shipped with Warp refuse to go higher (don't even get the option) and installing the old 2.1 video features disk really messed up my system. Once you have installed the 2.1 video features, you're in real trouble. I did this once and was only able to fix it by reinstalling Warp. A friend also did this, and we were able to patch his system into a working state by manually comparing the files in his \os2 directory with the files in mine, and copying two or three of the Warp files back onto his machine. Reinstalling the Warp video drivers doesn't work, because it doesn't seem to overwrite all of the necessary files. Unfortunately, we didn't write down the list of files that we munged at the time, and now I no longer remember. What you should do, if you can, is find someone else running a 755c with this version of Warp (I can help with this if you have FTP access, but hurry since I'm upgrading to Warp Connect in a week or two). Get a copy of their \os2 directory on your machine somehow, then run `diff -rq' on the two directories (using GNU diff). Then you'll have to poke through the diff output to decide which files are important and which are irrelevant, and copy the important differences back into your \os2 directory. If you're not sure how to distinguish which files are important, I'll be happy to help -- I think I can figure it out if I see it again. Once you've recovered the original Warp drivers in a working state, you should follow the instructions in the Warp book describing how to enable SVGA modes. That will perform the initialization required to turn on the other resolutions for external monitors.

I haven't installed Warp yet but twice I have attempted to install SVGA drivers for OS/2 2.11 and messed it up. First time, OS/2 hung on booting (just at the point of trying to display the hour glass - the first PM display) and I was told buy our IS guys I had to reinstall OS/2 from scratch. Next time I tried switching back to standard VGA having installed an SVGA driver, again OS/2 would no longer boot up. Before reinstalling OS/2, I tried looking in the OS/2 reference (Wow - what a novel idea!). There is a helpful little entry in the index which reads "VGA Support, restoring mode". Referring to this section describes the steps required: Simply boot up with the OS/2 installation diskette (don't ask me what you CD-ROM users have to do!), and when you get to install disk 1, you elect to exit to an OS/2 prompt without going any further. Change to your \OS2 directory and enter SETVGA C: (or whatever your OS/2 drive is). Follow on screen instructions and when you reboot everything works again in glorious VGA! It's amazing what you can learn from the manuals. Although I can't speak for Warp... Regards, Gwyn. Micro Focus Ltd Tel. (44) (0)1635 565294 26 West Street Fax.

So I now have used the SCSI card for a SCSI device other than the Panasonic drive, and it's using the ASPI support to do it. Whoo hoo! By the way - I still need a male SCSI2 to centronics adapter so I can use this PCMCIA card with traditional SCSI devices. If anyone knows a US source, please let me know.

Actually I am still running WARP (red box). Currently I am using rodent to speed up the mouse (trackpoint). This has the effect of causing WARP to crash on a suspend / resume. IBM's reply what that APM is broken under WARP and I should comment out apm and vapm. When these drivers are commented out the PCMCIA stack, card and socket services, are shielded from power events. Thus saving the state of a device such a modem doesn't occur. This means that I have to reboot after a suspend if I want to use the modem. On the other hand, suspend with the APM drivers install always was strange under WARP (w/o rodent). The suspend process takes many seconds and is accompanied by numerous beeps. In addition, many times the machine simply fails to go into suspend (i.e. disk activity continues beyond the period of time allotted to a suspend to occur). IBM appears unwilling to fix these problems. -- Scott A.

Usually this kind of error means you have a bad memory card/chip of some sort. If so, you may have had it all along and never knew it, because you never really maxed out your memory until you did something stringent like this. ----- ___________________________ Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu | Practice random acts | USC School of Business (Fight on, 'SC Trojans!) | of senseless | (My opinions are mine, but since I'm | viol...err.. | right, they should be yours too.) | kindness! | --------------------------- From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Wed May 31 21:02:24 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA17183; Wed, 31 May 95 21:02:24 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id UAA10384; Wed, 31 May 1995 20:39:54 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Wed, 31 May 1995 20:39:52 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from chaph.usc.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id UAA10374; Wed, 31 May 1995 20:39:50 -0400 Received: from alcor.usc.edu (whittle@alcor.usc.edu [128.125.253.169]) by chaph.usc.edu (8.6.12/8.6.4) with ESMTP id RAA14787; Wed, 31 May 1995 17:39:48 -0700 Received: (whittle@localhost) by alcor.usc.edu (8.6.12/8.6.7+ucs) id RAA20901; Wed, 31 May 1995 17:39:47 -0700 From: Randal Whittle Message-Id: <199506010039.RAA20901@alcor.usc.edu> Subject: Re: Panasonic KXL-D720 PCMCIA CDROM.

They are the SCSI MASTERS (though they are very Mac-oriented). Their cabling is the highest quality (the last think you want to screw around with in multiply-linked SCSI devices is a bad cable somewhere driving you crazy), but the prices ain't the cheapest. Personally, I think the quality more than makes up for the price. At any rate, you can call them at (800) 325-6316. I think they are located in Missouri. Also, you can e-mail them: sales@apstech.com support@apstech.com service@apstech.com (they have other addresses, but I don't think they'll do a lot of good until after you buy from them--i.e., support, etc.) ----- ___________________________ Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu | Practice random acts | USC School of Business (Fight on, 'SC Trojans!) | of senseless | (My opinions are mine, but since I'm | viol...err.. | right, they should be yours too.) | kindness! | --------------------------- From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Wed May 31 22:33:29 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA28519; Wed, 31 May 95 22:33:29 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id WAA16043; Wed, 31 May 1995 22:10:06 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Wed, 31 May 1995 22:10:04 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from shadow.net by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id WAA16012; Wed, 31 May 1995 22:10:02 -0400 Received: (dwhite@localhost) by shadow.net (8.6.10/jc-1.0) id WAA08159; Wed, 31 May 1995 22:14:02 -0400 Date: Wed, 31 May 1995 22:14:01 -0400 (EDT) From: Don Whiteside To: Randal Whittle Cc: Michael MacDonald , TP Subject: Re: 755cd and Asymetrix DVP problems In-Reply-To: <199505312359.QAA20025@alcor.usc.edu> Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Wed, 31 May 1995, Randal Whittle wrote: > > I recently attempted to capture video on my TP755cd for the first time, > > using Asymetrix Digital Video Producer.

My desktop machine has 16M in is and I used to get a memory parity error if I really pushed the system hard. But it didn't start up till over 6 months after I put the new chips in. Turned out to be a freaky Windows problem. (Is there any other kind?) If I did a clean Windows install and ran all the same apps, no error. No tester ever found the problem (though I stopped short of taking them out and having them properly tested). And now that I've dumped Windows and went to OS2 on that machine, I have had no problems. So if the problem persists, you could (ick) try a total re-install of your programs and copy back your data files.
