I've been running Windows95 (beta - build 490) on my TP755CX (810Mb hard drive - 24MB memory) and the installation process went smoothly because I took the time to prep my system for the install. However, based on my experience of installing the beta versions on various systems over the past few months, I strongly suggest you "look before you leap". For ThinkPad users, IBM has prepared a pre-install document called tpwin95.exe which can be downloaded from their WWW site (http://www.pc.ibm.com/cgi-bin/ftpfiles?action=list&dir=34) or their FTP site (ftp.pcco.ibm.com). This document describes how to install the beta version of Win95 on various ThinkPad models and will probably still be accurate for the initial public release of Win95 scheduled for August 24 (build 950?). As a general observation, I haven't seen any Win95 install do exactly the same thing...probably because every system has different hardware and software configurations. In fact, until I started to use some of the preparatory procedures which follow, I found the Win95 install program to be somewhat inconsistent and unpredictable. I guess "plug 'n play" isn't perfected yet, but it does try hard to please. ;-) Here are some basic suggestions which might help you install Win95 on ANY system, including ThinkPads. First, I'm assuming you're already running some version of Windows (3.1, WFWG 3.11) and that it is working properly with all of your hardware: 1. Copy your entire Windows directory (with subdirectories) to a new directory...win3 works okay for me. From DOS, "cd" into your Windows directory and type: xcopy *.* c:\win3 /s /e /v /y This will copy everything into win3 on drive "c". 2. Do the same with your DOS directory...dos62 is the directory I created. From the DOS directory type: xcopy *.* c:\dos62 /s /e /v /y 3. Edit your autoexec.bat, config.sys, win.ini, and system.ini files. Remove your memory management stuff (i.e. QEMM) and any strange drivers. Make autoexec and config as "clean" as possible, but make sure you can still boot into DOS okay. You can add specific drivers back in after the install if necessary. "REM" out or ";" any unusual devices in the [386Enh] section of system.ini. It usually helps to "REM" out the "load=" and "run=" commands at the beginning of win.ini also. 4. Set your display resolution to 640x480 @256 colors before the install. Again, this just makes it easier on the install process. You can change it back to higher resolutions and/or colors later. Creating "backup" directories makes it much easier to recover from a "bad" Win95 install later. It might install just fine the first time around, but trust me, this is cheap insurance. Win95 will install over your existing Windows (in the "Windows" directory) and also significantly modify your "DOS" directory. If you do experience problems during the install process and want to start over again for any reason, you can use Win95's install program to "uninstall" Win95 and restore everything on your system to its previous configuration. Just make sure you answer "yes" when the Win95 install program asks if you want to save data for a possible uninstall later (takes about 6MB of storage). No matter what happens, you can easily restore everything from your two "backup" directories described above. Just delete the "Windows" and "DOS" directories and rename the backup directories (win3 and dos62) back to their original names (Windows and DOS). Easy, safe, and much better then reloading from scratch and your Windows "user" data (desktop setup, colors, etc.) is restored too. Even if you're impatient to do the install and don't want to prepare your system first, this backup procedure allows you to do your "smoke test" and still recover easily. ;-) My TP755CX came "loaded" with tons of software, but I decided to backup everything to tape, and reinstall "clean" versions of DOS and Windows with ALL of the latest and greatest ThinkPad drivers from IBM (see site info above). Win95 loaded fine the first time around. All of the ThinkPad hardware worked normally except the high-resolution (800x600 @65K color) display which loaded as a 640x480 display, but was easily changed to the high-resolution, high-color driver from within Win95 after the install. All builds of Win95 beta from 490 on support the CX's 800x600 @65K color display. If Win95 installs okay on your ThinkPad and/or desktop, I suggest you keep Windows 3.1 or WFWG 3.11 on your system until you're comfortable with the new operating environment. If you followed my suggestion of copying your existing Windows into a win3 directory, you'll have to edit a few files before you old Windows is fully functional again. Edit the system.ini, win.ini, and progman.ini files (in the win3 directory) and autoexec.bat and config.sys on your old DOS boot diskette to replace ALL references of c:\windows with c:\win3 and replace c:\dos with c:\dos62. Obviously, we don't want old Windows (in the win3 directory) looking for data in the new Win95 (Windows) directory or any programs looking for DOS commands in the new DOS directory. I also suggest you boot from an earlier version of DOS (not Win95's MSDOS 7.0) before running the old Windows program. Boot from diskette, "cd" into the win3 directory, and then type "win" >from there. Old Windows should work as before. Boot from the hard drive to load Win95's boot loader. BTW, on my desktop "server", I installed Win95 over Windows on my "C" drive and it recognized that NT3.5 was loaded on my "D" drive and simply replaced "MSDOS" in the boot loader with "Windows95". So, when I boot my system, the boot loader allows me to load Windows95 or NT3.5 from its menu or I boot MSDOS 6.2 from diskette and run my old WFWG 3.11 from my win3 directory as described above. Please forgive my somewhat long-winded and (possibly) oversimplified Win95 install suggestions and procedures. I realize there are other ways to accomplish the same goals, but these have worked for me with my ThinkPad and various desktop systems. It's possible that Microsoft's "official" Win95 release in August will install easily on your ThinkPad or desktop system without any system preparation, but I wouldn't "hold my breath". Remember, Mr. Murphy developed his famous "law" while he was part of the Windows95 development team. ;-) _\//__ --Sandy / _ _ \ ( @ @ ) +-----.oOOo--()--oOOo.-------+ | InterNet : sandy@sandy.com | +-------------- Oooo.--------+ .oooO ( ) ( ) ) / \ ( (_/ \_) From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Tue Aug 1 11:10:27 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA21740; Tue, 1 Aug 95 11:10:27 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA04423; Tue, 1 Aug 1995 10:59:56 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Tue, 1 Aug 1995 10:59:55 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from LGATE.vmedia.com by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA04413; Tue, 1 Aug 1995 10:59:53 -0400 Received: by LGATE.vmedia.com (IBM OS/2 SENDMAIL VERSION 1.3.2)/1.0) id AA0672; Tue, 01 Aug 95 11:01:03 -0400 Message-Id: <9508011501.AA0672@LGATE.vmedia.com> Received: from ITP with "Lotus Notes Mail Gateway for SMTP" id 6828D31AD9F09DB08525620B00514D76; Tue, 1 Aug 95 11:01:00 To: tp750 From: Michael Verne/VENTANA Date: 1 Aug 95 10:49:54 Subject: battery chargers Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain anyone know of an external charger for thinkpad batteries? looking for 360C, 755C and 755CD.

I've been using it with my ThinkPad 755CD batteries. It is pretty small. It connects between the TP power supply and the TP, and will simultaneously charge an extra battery in addition to the on in the TP. It is fairly llight... about 3 ounces.

To: TP750@CS.UTK.EDU Cc: Stanley Wasserman X-Mailer: SPRY Mail Version: 04.00.06.17 As a follow up to the Windows95 install suggestions I posted yesterday, there is one more important thing you should do BEFORE installing Windows95 over your existing Windows. Make sure to go into "Control Panel" under Windows 3.1 or WFWG 3.11, click the "enhanced" icon, and change your permanent swap file to a temporary swap file. Keeping your old permanent swap file could confuse Windows95's install program. Preparing your system before the install to make things as simple as possible will greatly enhance your chances of a success on the first try. I read something today I found amusing which I'd like to share with you. I received a copy of IDG's new "Windows 95 Journal" in the mail which appears to be an expensive monthly newsletter dedicated to Windows95. IDG (PC World publisher) apparently sent sample copies to "Windows Professionals" (anyone on Microsoft's beta tester list). I guess it is suppose to be written by high level Windows techies for other Windows techies. Well anyway, they made the following comment about installing Windows95: "Finally, if you expect Windows 95 to install over your finely tuned Windows for Workgroups 3.11 installation without a hitch, you should try this exercise. Stand 6 to 8 inches from a wall. Thrust your head forward until it comes into contact with the wall, and then pull it back. Repeat this action in a rapid fashion until you feel you've had enough." ;-) Like I said, "look before you leap". I'm sure you won't have any problems. _\//__ --Sandy / _ _ \ ( @ @ ) +-----.oOOo--()--oOOo.-------+ | InterNet : sandy@sandy.com | +-------------- Oooo.--------+ .oooO ( ) ( ) ) / \ ( (_/ \_) From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Wed Aug 2 03:48:02 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA11152; Wed, 2 Aug 95 03:48:02 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id DAA20859; Wed, 2 Aug 1995 03:38:46 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Wed, 2 Aug 1995 03:38:42 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from deneb.dfn.de by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id DAA20653; Wed, 2 Aug 1995 03:35:55 -0400 Received: from unixserv.rz.fh-hannover.de (rzgw.rz.fh-hannover.de) by deneb.dfn.de (4.1/SMI-4.2) id AA18838; Wed, 2 Aug 95 09:35:11 +0200 Received: from bidnix.bid.fh-hannover.de by unixserv.rz.fh-hannover.de (AIX 3.2/UCB 5.64/4.03) id AA26603; Wed, 2 Aug 1995 09:34:37 +0100 Received: by bidnix.bid.fh-hannover.de (Linux Smail3.1.28.1 #1) id m0sdYI7-000DPhC; Wed, 2 Aug 95 09:32 MET DST Date: Wed, 2 Aug 1995 09:32:34 +0200 (MET DST) From: Hanno Wagner To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Subject: TP755CD and Windows NT?

It comes with a Windows programs called QuickLink. No particular driver is given. I just use the C:\THINKPAD\AUTODRV.SYS driver with an AUTODRV.INI file which configures the modem on COM2. The card is detected as COM2 by MSD. Furthermore I can dial and connect to other sites. The problem comes with the voice part of the system. I have a TP360CSE (No Mwave). I have configured the QuickLink message center indicating that the modem has voice and fax capabilties and that the chipset is a Cirrus Logic one. Now when I try to run the CallManager (answering machine), it desperatly says that it is unable to detect the modem and exit. The main program although QuickLink message is OK with my modem settings. I wonder if someone has already had the same kind of problem with this software (perhaps on a TP with Mwave) ? Anyway, I also wonder how it is possible to record a greeting message from the telephone handset: no explanation on how the plug the telephone line (RJ11) ? Can someone help me on that point ? -------------------------------------------------------------------- St'ephane ERANIAN | Email eranian@chorus.fr Universit'e PARIS VII | eranian@litp.ibp.fr LITP - Laboratoire d'Informatique | Th'eorique et Programmation | 2 place Jussieu | 75251 Paris cedex 05 | -------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Wed Aug 2 09:13:16 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA28102; Wed, 2 Aug 95 09:13:16 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id JAA14680; Wed, 2 Aug 1995 09:03:44 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Wed, 2 Aug 1995 09:03:41 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from kitten.mcs.com by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id JAA14670; Wed, 2 Aug 1995 09:03:37 -0400 Received: from mailbox.mcs.com (Mailbox.mcs.com [192.160.127.87]) by kitten.mcs.com (8.6.10/8.6.9) with SMTP id IAA26694 for ; Wed, 2 Aug 1995 08:03:31 -0500 Received: by mailbox.mcs.com (/\==/\ Smail3.1.28.1 #28.5) id ; Wed, 2 Aug 95 08:03 CDT Received: by mercury.mcs.com (/\==/\ Smail3.1.28.1 #28.5) id ; Wed, 2 Aug 95 08:03 CDT Date: Wed, 2 Aug 1995 08:03:29 -0500 (CDT) From: Jeff Fayne Subject: PCMCIA Printer Port Avail?

Verne >michael_verne@vmedia.com >Systems Analyst and Tailgate Party Host >Ventana Communications Group, Inc. Hi Michael, Very good question and I forgot to address this in my previous posting. The simple answer is yes and no. ;-) You should be able to change back to a permanent swap file under WFWG as before and everything should work fine. On my system, this worked okay, but could cause potential problems on your system because both Windows95 and WFWG use the same name for their permanent swap file (not a bad idea as it turns out). The reason for possible conflict has to do with the fact that Windows95's permanent swap file is NOT a fixed-size configuration as it was under Windows 3.1 and WFWG. The new swap file arrangement allows the system to contract and expand the swap file as various applications open and close. The fix for this was recently discussed on page 272 in the August issue of Windows Magazine. I highly suggest you read this article because it basically reiterates and adds to my Windows95 install suggestions. To save you time, here is an excerpt >from that article: "The fix is to open Windows 3.x and once again set up its permanent swap file as desired. When the swap file is again operational, open File Manager's View menu, select the By File Type option at the bottom of the menu and put a check in the Show Hidden/System Files box. Then find the size of the hidden 386SPART.PAR file, divide it by 1,024 and jot down the number for future reference. Don't cheat by peeking at the PermSwapSizeK=xxx line in SYSTEM.INI's [386Enh] section or the size shown in the 386 Enhanced applet's Virtual Memory dialog box. Oddly enough, the actual swap file size is apt to be off by a few megabytes, and the actual size is important. Once you get the number you need, open the SYSTEM.INI file in the Windows 95 directory (not the Windows 3.x version). Add or edit the following two lines in the [386Enh] section: MinPagingFileSize=xxxx PagingFile=c:\386SPART.PAR The first line is new to Windows 95 and complements its Max counterpart in Windows 3.x. That is, it defines the lower limit for the swap file. By setting xxxx to the number you jotted down, Windows 95 will restore the file to that size when it closes. The next time you open Windows 3.x, a swap file of the correct size will be there waiting for it, and all will be well. If both these lines already appear in your Windows 95 SYSTEM.INI, and the xxxx value is correct, then all's well and there shouldn't be any problem when you revert back to Windows 3.x." Again, an important issue Michael and thanks again for reminding me. I hope this helps. _\//__ --Sandy / _ _ \ ( @ @ ) +-----.oOOo--()--oOOo.-------+ | InterNet : sandy@sandy.com | +-------------- Oooo.--------+ .oooO ( ) ( ) ) / \ ( (_/ \_) From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Wed Aug 2 16:56:48 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA00442; Wed, 2 Aug 95 16:56:48 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id QAA22784; Wed, 2 Aug 1995 16:45:47 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Wed, 2 Aug 1995 16:45:44 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from jupiter.cast.msstate.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id QAA22762; Wed, 2 Aug 1995 16:45:38 -0400 Received: from berea.cast.msstate.edu by jupiter.cast.msstate.edu (4.1/6.0s-FWP); id AA10241; Wed, 2 Aug 95 15:44:10 CDT Received: by berea.cast.msstate.edu (940816.SGI.8.6.9/940406.SGI) id PAA08892; Wed, 2 Aug 1995 15:44:02 -0500 Date: Wed, 2 Aug 1995 15:44:01 +36000 From: Valentine Anantharaj To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Cc: Valentine Anantharaj Subject: Re: Linux on TP755CE? - booting problems Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I am having problems booting-up.

I have tried 3 different sets of boot/root disks. I downloaded the latest from tsx-11 and tried the bare.gz and net.gz boot disks after gunzipping them and rawriting to floppies. The HD geometry seems to be recognized fine - it detects the 3 partions correctly. I get these errors: RAMDISK: 1474560 bytes starting at 0x.... VFS: insert ramdisk floppy RAMDISK: Loading 1440 blocks into RAMDISK .............................. ................... child XXX died with code ff00 The last line keeps repeating in aloop with XXX incremented each time. I had to reboot with the same problem. I also tried Dave Hind's (ftp://cb-iris.stanford.edu/pub/pcmcia) boot/root disks with PCMCIA support. But I had a different problem. The RAMDISK loaded fine. RAMDISK: loading 1440 blocks .... done. VFS: mounted root (minix filesystem) init: can't load library '/libc.so.4' No such library I am stumped at this point. I could use another sey of boot/root disks and give it a try. Any idea what I may be doing wrong? Regards, VGA Valentine G.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii 1. The external CRT display from my TP 755CD on an IBM 17P monitor seems a little unstable with some shimmer. Have others found this also? 2. Is it possible to put a high res graphics card into the Dock II to drive the monitor? I presume that would give a more stable image. 3. I've tried to load WordPerfect 6.1 onto the 755CD, but the system hangs after installation of the setup disk. Any concurrences/suggestions? 4. I've also tried to run MacLink Plus PC Connect between the 755CD and a PowerMac 7100. They just won't talk to each other. The cable is good and I've been successful in connecting the 7100 to other PCs. The problem seems to be with the 755CD. 5. When I try to print out of the Dock II thru the parallel port, I get a printer error message. When the same doc is printed directly out of the 755CD's parallel port, everything is OK. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help. Sorry for all of the questions! rls -- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Ronald L.

I have a Panasonic KXL-D720 cd-rom drive which came with a PCMCIA card. I believe that this card is a regular SCSI card. The question is if any one in the list has been succesful in using this card with other SCSI peripherals, and how can that be accomplished. I am specially concerned about the cable and connector, which seems to be smaller than other SCSI cables and connectors I have seen. Also, do I need any extra software? I have a TP355. My goal is to buy an external SCSI hard drive that would work with the Panasonic SCSI card, so any suggestion on this regard will also be appreciated. Thanks!

Unfortunately, the support group here has had limited success getting Microsoft Mail Remote running through the MWave modem. Mine works fine ( I have upgraded system, MWave DOS, MWave Windoze, and applied the MWave mail script from the IBM FTP site.). We applied same to "Dave's" Tp, but the modem never goes off hook when the script runs, and actually in most cases, never flashes "lights" when the script is trying to send strings to the modem. If I put my hard drive in Dave's TP, everything works fine. Dave's HD in my TP has the same problem. We have even copied the entire msmail subdirectory >from Windows to his HD, still to no avail. He is running Windows for Workgroups, I am running straight Windows. The support group's "fix" is to completely disable all MWave functions and plug in a PCMCIA card, so we are desperate. Please send any suggestions, fixes, magic, etc. Thanks.

If you have been experiencing trouble getting X to work properly with 3.1.1, you might want to upgrade. I installed the new server last night and it works well. It now supports a wider range of dot clocks, so I am finally able to get 800x600 working at a reasonable refresh rate. As an added bonus, there's a new program, xvidtune, to adjust the video parameters for your monitor. In addition to this, the new server supposedly fixes bugs that I've heard about but haven't seen: trashed video after exiting X, and good support for dual-scan models.

In MSMAIL.INI file (usually C:\WINDOWS\MSMAIL.INI) you need to add the Exclusive=0 line in the SFSRemote section, as in: [SFSRemote] Exclusive=0 This lets Windows do meaningful work even when remote dialing. Exclusive=0 will tell the MS-Mail remote to let the m-Wave application (a windows application remember!) run at the same time as MS-Mail remote. Interesting side effect of the Exclusive=0 option is you can use other Windows Applications while you are getting your e-mail. Just don't do anything that takes too long or MS-Mail remote will time out. You still need the MWave mail script, of course, if your other machines do not have it yet. ---------------------------------------------------- Timothy Nelson Chief Scientist, SHL Systemhouse Corp. internet: tnelson@shl.com, compuserv: 75017,2171 phone: (310) 809-4832, fax: (310) 860-9668 ---------------------------------------------------- ---------- > From: owner-tp750 > To: tp750 > Subject: MWave and Microsoft Mail > Date: Friday, August 04, 1995 1:39PM > > Hi, > > There is a group of us here who have 755CE's.

You need a 54G0441 adapter cable for this, which also supports a mouse. My understanding is you can't just plug a keyboard directly in (but I'm not goning to risk zapping whatever to find out).

It doesn't do any harm, but it doesn't work either. You _can_ plug a mouse straight in, as the little graphic indicates. There are clone adaptors too, but they also cost about $45. Computer City sells them, if you're of a mood to buy it in person and have one near you.

The server comes with an enhanced documentation (Readme.WstDig) that explains how to setup the famous XF86Config for this card. I made some test with an external display and have been able to get to 1024x768x8 with no particular problem.

The battery pack that came with the 750 was supposed to be "smart", by contrast with the one that came on the 360. You could interchange the battery packs, but if you used the dumb battery pack on the 750 then some of the features wouldn't work. The batteries for my 750 don't have "Intelligent" written anywhere on them, but they're definitely fancier than those that come with the 360.

MacLan is software for the Windows PC that gives it Appletalk capabilty (which, of course, every Mac already has built-in). Hence, assuming you have the Ethernet hardware setup, it can be run as an Appleshare client/server on a network with Macintoshes that have Appletalk built-in to them, allowing it to "see" files on a Mac and print to Mac printers as well as for the Mac to "see" files on a PC and print to PC (PostScript) Printers. Its great stuff for me, since I have a foot in both worlds and now my PC and Mac can *truly* communicate for the first time! I'm quite enthused, the more I play with it here. It acts as a simple Peer network for a number of PC's and/or Mac's all together. In my case, I'll hook up 1 Mac and 2 PC's (one of which is my ThinkPad), but generally just the 1 desktop PC and the Mac will be hooked up on a regular basis. I really like it--and there was a gentleman here on the TP list that recommended it to me. Trouble is, I can't remember who and I lost the message!

This is a "feature" whose intent was probably to improve performance on battery rundown tests. It's been there since at least the TP750. Assuming the 755CX does it the same way, use the DOS PS2 utility: PS2 BR N PS2 BR E I think N changes it to "normal" (full range of brightness) while E changes it to dim ("economy"?). ___________________________________________________________________________ John H.

PS2 BR N will make it normal (ignores if AC is used or not) and PS2 BR E for economy mode. The FAQ says that people have noted a difference of 15 to 30 minutes as a result of disabling economy mode. ========================================================================= Donald Alan Whiteside MDCC Wage Slave School of Computer Science Official Usenet Dork for the week of Jan 9-13, 1995 GCS d-- -p+(---) l u+(-) e+ m+ s !n h f g+ w+ t+(++) r- y++ "The universe is not in the habit of giving up explanations to cursory examinations" - Garth Thornton ========================================================================= From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Fri Aug 11 16:08:21 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA12837; Fri, 11 Aug 95 16:08:21 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id PAA00194; Fri, 11 Aug 1995 15:58:34 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Fri, 11 Aug 1995 15:58:33 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from martigny.ai.mit.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id PAA00173; Fri, 11 Aug 1995 15:58:32 -0400 Received: from slip-cph.lcs.mit.edu by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA11770; Fri, 11 Aug 95 15:58:16 -0400 Received: by omerie.ai.mit.edu (IBM OS/2 SENDMAIL VERSION 1.3.14/1.0um) id AA0061; Fri, 11 Aug 95 15:58:38 -0400 Date: Fri, 11 Aug 95 15:58:38 -0400 From: Chris Hanson Message-Id: <9508111958.AA0061@omerie.ai.mit.edu> To: manning@cs.vassar.edu Cc: TP750@CS.UTK.EDU In-Reply-To: Msg of Fri, 11 Aug 95 15:17:26 EDT from manning@cs.vassar.edu (Joseph Manning) Subject: TP-755CX screen dims using battery From: manning@cs.vassar.edu (Joseph Manning) Date: Fri, 11 Aug 95 15:17:26 EDT The screen on my new SVGA TP-755CX dims considerably whenever I remove the AC power cord and it switches to battery power.

My questions: - is this normal, or do I perhaps have a weak battery? - if it is normal, then is there any way to circumvent this dimming, even if it shortens battery life? I don't know specifically about the 755CX, but on older models there is a power-saving mode called "economy brightness mode" that is the default. This mode can be changed using the PS2 program under DOS: * PS2 BR N puts the machine in "normal" mode, in which the screen is the same brightness whether using AC power or battery power. * PS2 BR E puts the machine in "economy" mode, in which the screen is dimmer when using battery power.

The comamnd PS2 BR N is quite deliberately undocumnted. Best guess is that IBM does not want magazines to benchmark battery life with "full power options" including the bright screen. That makes perfectly good sense, battery life is something that any idiot reviewer can measure and report on, whereas it is much less likely that you get criticized for a dimmer screen on battery power.

Does anyone know of a set of stuff > that will work with minimum hassle? I used the IBM PCMCIA Credit Card Adapter II and IBM TCP/IP (most of the OS/2 networked software out there is for IBM TCP/IP). TCP/IP is horribly expensive for what you get -- there are numerous additional kits you have to buy for additional functionality like X, DOS compability, etc. Figuring out the installation between TCP/IP and the ethernet card was a pain, but is simple once you figure it out (the instructions included with both the card and TCP/IP are very poorly written). Fortunately I've done it enough times that if you buy the card and software I can tell you the exact procedure. One way to cut down on cost is to subscribe to DevCon (something like $125/yr for students, $195/yr for everyone else). This gets quarterly CD-packs with a license for OS/2, tons of development software, as well as the TCP/IP 2.0 base kit, DOS compatibility kit, developer's kit (including Winsock docs), and maybe a couple other things. I'll just mention there are "unauthorized" ways to get X working without buying it (don't quote me on that :). Another option might be to use Warp Connect, which includes TCP/IP 3.0. Eventually, I figured out 95% of the software I ran under OS/2 was ports of Unix tools so I got myself Linux. Surprisingly, the current Linux PCMCIA drivers identifies and uses the IBM CCA2 automatically. (too automatically -- I still haven't figured out how to get it to use IRQ 5 instead of stealing IRQ 3 from the modem) I'm currently trying to get it set up for DOS and it is a major pain. Between the required PCMCIA drivers and networking drivers, I end up with about 430-460k of low memory and Novell Lan Workplace's TCPIP stack refuses to load for some reason. I'm going to try Trumpet Winsock this weekend, hopefully with better luck. All I need it for is Internet Phone since IBM is holding up the Linux sound drivers for the TP750. ___________________________________________________________________________ John H.

On my 750C, it can be circumvented at the DOS line by typing "PS2 BR N". PS2 is the command for invoking ThinkPad features (as you know), BR stands for "Brightness", and "N" is "Normal" (rather than "battery save". On the 750's it was undocumented--I don't know whether it is known (or even *works*) on the newer ones. ----- ____________________________ Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu | WWW Hope Page: | USC Graduate School of Business (Fight on 'SC!)| http:// | "Did you really think you could call up the | www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle/| Devil and ask him to behave?" ---------------------------- -Fox Mulder on T.V.'s "X-Files" speaking to an occult practitioner From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Fri Aug 11 23:38:34 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA12767; Fri, 11 Aug 95 23:38:34 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id XAA28725; Fri, 11 Aug 1995 23:28:44 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Fri, 11 Aug 1995 23:28:38 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from nile.gnat.com by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id XAA28708; Fri, 11 Aug 1995 23:28:37 -0400 Received: by nile.gnat.com (5.61/1.34) id AA01766; Fri, 11 Aug 95 23:29:22 -0400 Date: Fri, 11 Aug 95 23:29:22 -0400 From: dewar@nile.gnat.com (Robert Dewar) Message-Id: <9508120329.AA01766@nile.gnat.com> To: dmoore@dill.lcs.mit.edu, tp750@CS.UTK.EDU, whittle@chaph.usc.edu Subject: Re: HELP WITH MWAVE MODEM FUNCTIONS - 755CE I am running WARP on a 755CX and the modem works just fine for me.

I don't know about "TP-certified" but I got a 16M module for my 755CX a week or so ago for $639 + $6 2nd-day FedEx shipping from First Source International.

Interesting comment Robert because I can't help wonder if some magazine reviewers are totally oblivious to this "undocumented feature" too. For example, look at the review of various "Super VGA" portables, including the IBM 755CX ThinkPad, in the September issue of Mobile Office Magazine. Although they picked the IBM 755CX as the best all-around Super VGA notebook, their only negative comment was: "Aside from its TFT Display, which falls short of the LCDs from NEC and AT&T in brightness, the ThinkPad comes close to perfection". Also in their +/- summary they say "TFT display slightly dimmer, colors slightly duller". I looked at most of the notebooks available today (many side-by-side) before I purchased my 755CX. My impression was that the IBM 755CX had the brightest, sharpest, cleanest, most vibrant color display I saw and made my purchase based on this observation. In fact, my application for the notebook (portable photographic/graphic editing) demanded that I buy the best possible display available (money was NOT an issue). Sure, I saw other LCD displays with similar characteristics, but none came close to the ThinkPad's Super VGA display at 65K color depth. I wouldn't be at all surprised that the Mobile Office reviewers were totally "in the dark" about this undocumented ThinkPad display "feature". :-) This just exemplifies why I have always taken magazine product reviews "with a grain of salt". Even if you believe the magazine's review is unbiased (you know it's very unlikely any magazine is going to "bad mouth" any of its large advertisers), most reviewers don't spend enough time with the product to properly evaluate it anyway. I think most magazine product reviews are useful to help narrow down the choices to a few and then it's up to us to evaluate them BEFORE we buy. _\//__ --Sandy / _ _ \ ( @ @ ) +-----.oOOo--()--oOOo.-------+ | InterNet : sandy@sandy.com | +-------------- Oooo.--------+ .oooO ( ) ( ) ) / \ ( (_/ \_) From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Sat Aug 12 20:07:57 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA19629; Sat, 12 Aug 95 20:07:57 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id TAA10015; Sat, 12 Aug 1995 19:59:56 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Sat, 12 Aug 1995 19:59:55 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from nile.gnat.com by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id TAA09999; Sat, 12 Aug 1995 19:59:48 -0400 Received: by nile.gnat.com (5.61/1.34) id AA25452; Sat, 12 Aug 95 20:00:30 -0400 Date: Sat, 12 Aug 95 20:00:30 -0400 From: dewar@nile.gnat.com (Robert Dewar) Message-Id: <9508130000.AA25452@nile.gnat.com> To: TP750@CS.UTK.EDU, sandy@sandy.com Subject: Re: TP-755CX screen dims using battery I noticed that review and was puzzled by the comment on the brightness of the screen, so you are probably right in your analysis.

I have never seen any documentation of this command, and it certainly was not documented early on. I agree the dimming is documented, but is the fix? What wnet wrong with your 720C, that's very unusual experience, and it sems like you should be able to get it remedied. After three unsuccessful attempts at repair, it becomes clear something is fundamentally wrong, and I would have thought that an attempt to complain at a higher level would be successful.

I can't say the three previous attempts were failures, but after using Warp for awhile, things would wreak havoc and i would end up dumping it all for DOS/WIN setup. The basics worked fine but fine tuning Warp didn't go well. So anyways.... I was wondering if there is a someone out there that has gotten Warp to run on their TP750. As for some Specific: - is there any other device drivers, Fixpacks, patches, etc. that i need? - How well have you been able to get sound to work in Warp, WinOs2, DOSinaBox, full screen DOS to work. ( i.e. games, MIDI, etc.) - Associatings files... I can do it manually, but i would like Warp to automatically associate files like Word docs, Excel xls, Jpegs, etc. so when a save it to the desktop its assocaited to the correct program. I noticed hat warp will do it for text files, wav, mid, and some others but can't figure out how. - Whatever other info or other neat little trick that you have found with Warp and ThinkPads that you are willing to share...

Just got the monitor saturday, i notice when switching from Full DOS scrn back to Warp, the pcture is a little pilled up at the top. Switching to LCD and back to the monitor fixes it.

In all seriousness if you are using OS/2 Warp Connect the install on a 750C goes without ANY problems. If you are using the red box (Warp for Windows) then you need to obtain fixpack number 5 ASAP. In addition if you are using a dock II (not sure about a dock I), the PCMCIA drivers in the base red box CD rom by default conflict with the dock's scsi controller. This is resolved in the fixpack but you may have trouble getting to the fixpack. > > I was wondering if there is a someone out there that has gotten Warp to > run on their TP750. I have had the red box, and now Connect, running for many months. The only issue which I still have with OS/2 on ANY portable is when you attempt to use different screen resolutions. When switching between the different resolutions the desktop/folder layout can get hosed up. There is a NEW video driver kit (from the OS/2 people, not IBM mobiles) for WARP. You must install this kit to have any hope of getting crt/lcd to work. In addition, on the 750 with this kit THE MOUSE TRACKING SPEED IS MUCH GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE! > > As for some Specific: > > - is there any other device drivers, Fixpacks, patches, etc. that i need?

Check out the migrate command and it's database file. You may need to modify the database, or migrate the apps to os/2 if you have not done that already.  ___ Scott A.

( i.e. games, MIDI, etc.) The confusing thing about sound on the TP is that there are two sources for drivers: one from OS/2 development, and the other from Thinkpad development. The one from OS/2 (ships with Warp, recommended by the Thinkpad folks) does *not* support Soundblaster/Adlib/Roland emulation in a DOS box. What I did was install multimedia, but no sound drivers. Then I installed the OS/2 2.1 sound drivers that came with my Thinkpad. These seem to be somewhat buggier, sometimes crashing. They've also released an update disk for OS/2 and WinOS2. Get both from ftp.pcco.ibm.com in /pub/mobiles. Whatever you do, make sure you DON'T install BOTH drivers (Warp and Thinkpad). That's almost guaranteed to crash OS/2 every time you try to use DOS sounds. Device drivers operate at a higher priority level than programs and can hose a protected system like OS/2. > - Associatings files...

Yes, there's a way. Pop up the settings folder on the app, and there should be a section on associations or something. Just add the *.??? extension to the list. Note that you can associate more than one app with a file type -- one is the default and the others can be called up with the pop-up menu (right mouse button) on the file. > - Whatever other info or other neat little trick that you have found with > Warp and ThinkPads that you are willing to share...

The 3Com PCMCIA is, IMHO, the best all-around card. For Warp Connect, just make sure you have the latest drivers or else you'll have the biggest friggin headache.

That's nice for you. However, I know a number of users who have had problems with both WARP and NT, and they traced the problem to subpar RAM. The problem is real. It wouldn't surprise me to hear that the ram that goes into notebooks tends to be of higher quality, since the value added ratio of the hardware is higher. Or some such shit. :-) Roger J.

Assuming you are using MS-DOS, you need a device driver in your config.sys. You can download the IBMCDROM.SYS driver from IBM, or you can use the Future Domain driver FDCD.SYS (which works great, and is WAY faster). The Future Domain driver is included on the IBM CD-ROM support files disk that came with my CD-ROM for the DOCK I, however, its existence is told only by a one line reference on one of the card inserts, and in a README file that, after a page or so of installation instructions, says "oh by the way, if you want better performance from your CD-ROM, use the FDCD.SYS included in this disk." The installation commands and instructions do the IBMCDROM.SYS only. If you cannot find the FDCD.SYS on your own, you can e-mail me and I will help you find it. ---------------------------------------------------- Timothy Nelson Chief Scientist, SHL Systemhouse Corp. internet: tnelson@shl.com ---------------------------------------------------- PS: I have a 750Ce with a DOCK I and IBM CD-ROM.

First, thank you for taking the time to respond and help. Here's my problem step by step. I plug in all cables, insert the 100meg disk in the Zip Drive and place the 3.5 diskette in the Thinkpad. From Windows I run Setup from the diskette in the Thinkpad. Everything goes fine and Iomega tells me its going to restart Windows...it exits Windows and stays at the c:\ I then have to start Windows cause Iomega didn't restart it automatically. When I come into Windows Iomega asks me if the 100meg ZipTools disk is in place (it is properly in place) and then Iomega tells me that it can't find the ZipDrive and it's ZipTools. At this point nothing has been installed...no assigned drive letter, no ZipTools, and nothing from the 3.5 diskette. Could you please tell me how you installed it, step by step?

I wanted to add that you can use (if you have a scsi cdrom available) a Trantor (Adaptec bought 'em) MiniScsi cable to install OS/2 from CDROM. OS/2 installs the PCMCIA drivers too late in the boot process to be able to use PCMCIA stuff to install OS/2. I found that I was able to get the OS/2 drivers from Trantor for their parallel printer cable type of controller (also came with the controller) and was able to modify the OS/2 boot disks to install their driver. With that setup I installed OS/2 Warp from my Toshiba 3401 scsi cdrom. Then, since I have the Adaptec PCMCIA scsi controller, I was able to modify OS/2 Warp after it was installed to use the PCMCIA controller. This gave me a much higher rate of speed for all my scsi devices. The parallel port controller works well but is not very fast. Since you already got OS/2 installed this whole note may be useless to you but I hope you find it somewhat useful for reference. Don.

Try http://peipa.essex.ac.uk/tp-linux/tp-linux.html It has XF86Config files for the TP755CS which should be the same dual scan as your 360CSE. > The X -probeonly makes my screen go wild, and I must reboot to get it > back. How do I combat this? I wasn't even able to get this to work on my TP750 mono, which doesn't have the complication of dual-scan. I had to generate the file manually with the help of the above site. Speaking of XF86 3.1.2, I tried it and it complained that it wanted more current libc and libm files (I have the slackware 2.3 distribution, 1.2.8 kernel). I got those and installed them. It came up beautifully, but then most of the X apps I tried (everything except xeyes and xterm) complained they couldn't understand the new lib files. So I went back to 3.1.1. Did I mess up somewhere, or is this going to be a problem until new versions of all these X apps are released? ___________________________________________________________________________ John H.

The only difference I noticed from previous version comes from the way the screen is reset when exiting X. The 3.1.2 now fully supports WD90C24 which is the chipset I have in my 360CSE. > The X -probeonly makes my screen go wild, and I must reboot to get it > back. How do I combat this? > Where can I get more information? Anyway, you can get useful information from the README.WstDig in the doc directory under /usr/X11R6. It explains the differents settings for WD90C24 cards. If you want to access this resolution however, you still need to run the PS2.exe command under DOS to active "high performance mode" for display (remember my previous mail on this list). For the LCD display, you still need Michael Steiner's tpdualscan program to hide the upper 512MB of RAM. Here my .xinitrc that starts everything: $ cat .xinitrc tpdualscan -d xrefresh fvwm& exec rxvt -8 -font fixed > I would like to run it in 800x600. I have 1024 ram and it apparently is all > recognized. You're talking of 800x600 on the external CRT ? The XF86Config I enclosed at the end of this mail does have the required parameter from this resolution. There are commented in because not usable on the LCD display. > Thanks for amy and all help.

Everything is working as far as I can tell, but I notice that my CD drive is running in "MS-DOS compatibility mode". From what I read in IBM's tpwin95 document, it sounds like Win95 should automatically recognize the CD-ROM drive and use the native support automatically. However, if I don't load IBMTPCD.SYS (and MSCDEX), Win95 doesn't see and can't find the drive (when asked to look for new hardware). I believe I've followed the directions in the tpwin95 document and I am running the v1.30 system. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I don't quite remember the model of the card ... 3C7509 or something like that. Anyway, I can relate my experience on ordering the same card from Germany last year. The promo was only being run out of the US HQ, but they had no objections to shipping overseas to anyone with a valid credit card. However, because you can't normally dial a US 1-800 number >from continental Europe, I had to call the normal (non-toll-free) corporate switchboard number and navigate through a maze of people who knew nothing about the deal, until finally I ended up with someone at the Promotions Department who took my order. Maybe this will save you a bit of time. (Sorry, don't have the corporate HQ number anymore, but you should be able to get it from a US computer magazine).

Works fine in VGA mode and sound is superb. When I try and configure FS5 to be SVGA it asks what vidoeboard I have, thee are about 5 choices, things like VESA 1.2, Trident, TSENG etc. If I select VESA 1.2 the screen goes to junk and the game won't run. So I called IBM, they say the VESA is in the hardware, but is 1.01 and not 1.2 compatible. So I looked at the Microsoft knowledge base to see if they have any drivers for the Western Digital chip that used in the TP755s. No joy. Anybody got FS5/SVGA working on a thinkpad? I'm going to cross post this to the flight-sim newsgroup and will send out an answer later. Thanks !

It cost around $250 with tax and shipping. I just unhook my external CDROM from my desktop system and use it mostly to install new software on my TP755C. Several other vendors offer similar products, but I'm not sure about driver support. With this configuration I can attached several different SCSI devices including a CDROM, and I should be able to use them simultaneously (eg tape drive, external hard drive, R/W optical, etc). I've only used a CDROM thus far. Several negatives which were common to most competitive products: 1. Could not use CDROM to install Warp. Someone earlier proclaimed that this was not possible with PCMCIA SCSI, but I doubt this assertion. The Warp install includes two diskettes which boot Warp initially, then everything else is installed from the CDROM. These two diskettes are pretty full, so IBM limits the device support here because it can't put all the various drivers needed to support more esoteric configurations. I believe that I could copy the boot diskettes, add the appropriate drivers manually, edit CONFIG.SYS manually, and install Warp from the CDROM. I haven't had any need to reinstall Warp (still running great), so I haven't verified this claim. 2. There are restrictions on system use when running with the adapter. Among these, you can't "hot-swap" or insert the card and use it without a system reboot. Also I know hibernation won't work with the PCMCIA card inserted - I'm not sure about suspension, but I don't think it works either. My problem with competitive products was the reluctance of the vendors or resellers to guarantee the products would work with OS/2. Most often they just didn't know or weren't sure, and would make vague statements like, "I _think_ it works with OS/2, but I'm not sure about Warp" or "We're working on OS/2 drivers and they should be shipping any day".

Also, I got a tip the other day that may help you with the tape problem. If your tape drive is SCSI I (which I believe all of them still are), and your card is SCSI II (which it must be or you wouldn't get the smaller connector), your card is probably set to 10Mb/s internal xfer rate, which SCSI I devices can't handle. We were unwittingly doing this on one of our file servers, but by bumping the SCSI xfer rate down to 5Mb/s, the tape drive could handle the I/O flow & stopped crashing. It was actually the tape drive that couldn't keep up with the card. Since 5Mb/s is faster than a CD rom can move data, you won't lose any performa nce. Michael J.

I suppose, but its a sort of knowledge I'd rather not spend my time obtaining. I'd just assume buy from the company that prints the lowest price rather than obtain a written quote and getting a $5 lower price, since the company that prints the low price is doing me the favor of enlightening me with the truth.

I'd just assume buy from the company that prints the lowest price rather than obtain a written quote and getting a $5 lower price, since the company that prints the low price is doing me the favor of enlightening me with the truth." You mean the truth about how low they would be willing to go? Fine, you just express the opposite of the bargaining mentality, and it is true that a lot of Americans hate to bargain. It's not in the culture, but someone willing to bargain will almost always be able to do better. That's life. THe Wall Street Journal did an article a few years ago (in the height of the recession), and found they could bargain everywhere, at gas stations, at department stores, at restaurants. It was quite amazing. I bought a power book at Rockwell a few months ago. The price on the power book was good, but they wanted $899 for memory. I told them too much, that I could get it from CDW for $699. They were willing to match, given they would be selling the power book. If you can do it (I certainly am not good at it), you can save a lot of money by bargaining in the computer field. It's easy to see the dynamics. Suppose someone buys a memory card for $500. They figure that to pay the rent, overhead, salaries, and make a profit, then need, given their estimate of the competition and elasticity of the market, to sell the card at $700, so that is what they advertise. Now if someone comes along, bargains hard, and offers $550, it is worth it on a single shot basis to sell one unit at $550 and make a small incremental profit of $50. But that does not mean that the "truth" is that they can afford to sell all the boards at $550, on the contrary, they might well go broke doing it. So you see, the "truth" in this kind of pricing situation is an elusive thing. I know this is a bit off topic for the Thinkpad mailing list, but perhaps not so *very* much off topic, when obviously a lot of people are concerned with getting the very lowest possible prices. One thing that will help is for people to post deals they have managed to make. This mailing list is small enough that we can do that without disrupting the market. Of course if you advertised the prices you got on national TV, you would blow the deal!

Everything works great, *except* I can't seem to get X to run in 800x600 on the LCD (active matrix, not dualscan). It runs fine at 640x480, and I can get all resolutions from 640x480 to 1150x900 on an external monitor. None of the Linux docs have helped me, nor has IBM or the ThinkPad manual.

Unfortunately, the procedure doesn't work. No matter what settings I try, the ThinkPad always shows the same screen - the top 2/3 show alternating white & black scan lines, while the bottom 1/3 of the screen is black except for a vertical white stripe near the right-hand edge of the screen. I have tried all possible dot clocks from 28MHz up through 80MHz. It *should* work at about 36MHz, but it doesn't. The modeline that I *thought* should work is this: ModeLine "800x600" 36 800 824 896 1024 600 601 603 625 Again, this works perfectly fine on the external monitor, but gives garbage on the LCD.

I was beginning to think it wasn't possible... Anyway, the magical missing piece I needed was to run "PS2 MODE3X ON" under DOS (to apparently install video mode 3 extensions), then boot into Linux using LOADLIN.EXE. Then my XF86config worked the first time (I posted the modeline in a previous message). Now, I'd like to run a pure Linux machine without DOS, so I decided to write a C program for Linux to perform the same function as "PS2 MODE3X ON". I tried to disassemble the PS2.EXE program under DOS using the latest version of Sourcer, but Sourcer says that PS2.EXE is a "modified Windows NE executable format", and refused to touch it. Next, I fired up Turbo Debugger to try and step through it, but Turbo Debugger complained that it was an "unsupported executable format". So my question is this: Does anyone know how the MODE3X function works internally? Is it something that's a documented part of the Western Digital chip? Or does the PS2 program simply enable a different BIOS INT 10H handler? (OK, so it was three questions :-) If anyone can help me with this, I would greatly appreciate it. I also intend to release the completed program to the Linux/Thinkpad community at large (assuming I don't have to sign an NDA with IBM to get the information!)

Notice that the same it also true if you try to run Windows at these resolutions. I came to the same conclusion as you. It would be great if we could get an equivalent of the PS2.exe command under Linux. Desperatly, I am not a expert in assembly language and so I could not really help you there. But I hope there is another way to get the information about this mysterious command so as we can port it to another OS. Anyway, I actually do support your initiative. -------------------------------------------------------------------- St'ephane ERANIAN | Email eranian@chorus.fr Universit'e PARIS VII | eranian@litp.ibp.fr LITP - Laboratoire d'Informatique | Th'eorique et Programmation | 2 place Jussieu | 75251 Paris cedex 05 | -------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Wed Aug 23 09:55:52 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA17685; Wed, 23 Aug 95 09:55:52 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id JAA24312; Wed, 23 Aug 1995 09:44:50 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Wed, 23 Aug 1995 09:44:49 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from shadow.net by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id JAA24300; Wed, 23 Aug 1995 09:44:42 -0400 Received: (dwhite@localhost) by shadow.net (8.6.10/jc-1.0) id JAA21225; Wed, 23 Aug 1995 09:49:26 -0400 Date: Wed, 23 Aug 1995 09:49:26 -0400 (EDT) From: Don Whiteside To: Thinkpad List Subject: Lose95 on the horizon... Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII With a number of people probably suffering from Upgrade Fever and the new release of the Windows virus being released at midnight tonight, I thought I'd remind all of you (and inform the ones who might not know) that IBM wrote a little tech document about installing Lose95 on your Thinkpad. The document includes, amoung others, specifics about using the 755C/Cs, 340C, 750, 701C with Win95. (There are others, that's all I know off the top of my head.) Anyways, if you're going to take the plunge, I've put the document up on my Thinkpad page - http://www.shadow.net/~dwhite/thinkpad.html - and you can read it there if you with. IBM also has it on their pages, I just don't know the URL off the top of my head. The document I have was written on July 10th, if they've updated it as far as anyone knows, mail me and I'll grab the newer one for the page. May Bill have mercy on your souls. ========================================================================= Donald Alan Whiteside MDCC Wage Slave School of Computer Science Official Usenet Dork for the week of Jan 9-13, 1995 GCS d-- -p+(---) l u+(-) e+ m+ s !n h f g+ w+ t+(++) r- y++ "The universe is not in the habit of giving up explanations to cursory examinations" - Garth Thornton ========================================================================= From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Wed Aug 23 11:33:10 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA23338; Wed, 23 Aug 95 11:33:10 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA00329; Wed, 23 Aug 1995 10:43:41 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Wed, 23 Aug 1995 10:43:38 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from alsys1.aecom.yu.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA00313; Wed, 23 Aug 1995 10:43:36 -0400 Received: from yu1.yu.edu by alsys1.aecom.yu.edu with SMTP id AA02977 (5.67b/IDA-1.5/AECOM-RIT for ); Wed, 23 Aug 1995 10:43:32 -0400 Received: by yu1.yu.edu (AIX 3.2/UCB 5.64/4.03) id AA13856; Wed, 23 Aug 1995 10:42:19 -0400 Date: Wed, 23 Aug 1995 10:42:19 -0400 (EDT) From: Joshua Hosseinof To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Subject: Multimedia PCMCIA from IBM Message-Id: Organization: Yeshiva University Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Also an ISA version of this which i cut out of this announcement.

Select from four new multimedia products. The 16-Bit DSP Wavetable Sound Card is based on the latest Mwave(R) digital signal processor (DSP) technology, which provides Sound Blaster(1) compatibility and outstanding audio performance for business and home use. The 3D PCMCIA Sound Card, also based on the Mwave DSP, is the only product of its kind that supports many applications written to the Sound Blaster interface while also providing superior sound quality through wavetable synthesis. An optional accessory, the 3D PCMCIA Sound Card Attach Module, provides a built-in microphone and connections for MIDI devices or a joystick. If you only require the playback of DVI video files, the ActionMedia II Lite Video Player offers a lower priced alternative to the popular ActionMedia II products.

The powerful Mwave DSP drives the Wavetable MIDI process without impacting your computer's CPU. The result is high-quality wavetable sound, often without slowing down your computer, preserving the horsepower required to play games or run your presentations. This product is one of the first DSPs available in a PCMCIA sound card, and with that comes the advantage of future software upgrades that add more sounds and capability. Included with the 3D PCMCIA Sound Card are: o A cable that attaches to the card and provides connectors for line-in (microphone, stereo system) and line-out (headphones, stereo system) o Earphones (earplug-style headphones) o Automated installation software o Software support for PC DOS, Windows, and OS/2 (OS/2 support available fourth quarter 1995) o Installation manual and user's guide A precision analog to digital converter (ADC) turns your voice or music into stereo, CD-quality digital files that enhance your business presentations or entertain family and friends. Sound this crisp makes playing games a whole new experience. 3D sound will surround you when Q-Sound** is unleashed. Advanced, IBM-patent-pending technology enables the 3D PCMCIA Sound Card to play the music plus all the exciting sound effects in popular Sound Blaster-compatible games. Many other portable solutions only give you the music. With high-quality wavetable sound, you have the option to use highly efficient MIDI files instead of resource-consuming digital .WAV files in your business presentations. The sound quality of wavetable synthesis is superior to FM synthesis because it is based on digital recordings of the actual instruments. If you need to play digital .WAV files, the DSP processor has the power to play multiple files at the same time. Product Positioning: This product addresses a new tier of PCMCIA audio product, with higher function and price compared to the PCMCIA Audio Adapter (87G9748). The IBM 3D PCMCIA Sound Card is for portable PCs that you want to add audio to, or upgrade the existing audio to wavetable sound and game/joystick support. Especially beneficial with older portable PCs, the DSP on the card does most of the work and can therefore operate in systems with older processors and less system memory.

IBM advertises it as capable of 65536 colors, but I've noticed that several companies say the same thing when their TFT apparently isn't capable of that many colors (the notebooks can show 16- or 24-bit color depth on an external display). Hooking the TP up to an external monitor, setting it up for simultaneous display, and comparing the TFT to the monitor on a 24-bit JPEG should be a good way to test it. I had a chance to compare the 701C (advertised 256 colors) and 755CD (advertised 65536 colors) side by side today. The TFT display on the 755CD is much brighter than the 701C. Unfortunately the store had some stupid program installed that prevented me from running an external program to test the color depth. Also, has anyone been able to compare the Apple Powerbook TFTs with the IBM TFTs? ___________________________________________________________________________ John H.

We have several 755CE, CD, and CX models. All are capable of displaying 640X480 at 65K colors on the LCD and external monitor. Since this was one of requirements, we tested the LCD display on them very throughly. They work as advertised.

This should be identical to the other TP750's, and the TP755C/CS. He is supposedly working with IBM's intellectual property people on getting the thing released, but we all know how slow IBM can be. If anybody has gotten it working, I would *love* to know. For more info, check out: http://peipa.essex.ac.uk/tp-linux/tp-linux.html The TP755CSE/CE/CD/CX/CV use the MWave DSP for soundblaster emulation. I'm not well versed on the particulars, but given the problems with drivers for OS/2, I would think Linux drivers are rather unlikely unless it emulates the SB in hardware without having to load drivers. ___________________________________________________________________________ John H.

At first I was upset that IBM would do this, but then when I really thought about it, it was okay. I have a port replicator at work that uses the original power supply. So, my TP will charge during the day at work. The new charger will charge my TP overnite if the TP is not turned on, and besides, I like the new compact package.

I had to patch the kernel init source to get Linux to recognize 37 lines in text mode (it figured out the 100 columns correctly). Now everything works correctly, *except* I get about 1/2 line of garbage text at the bottom of the screen. Looks like about 8 scan lines high. Apparently there must be some additional tweaking of the 90C24 that is necessary. I'm waiting for the Western Digital data book... The real reason for posting this message, however, is that I discovered how to get the MWave soundblaster emulation and modem functions working under Linux! Since I need to boot DOS first to enable 800x600 mode via the PS2 command, I tried running the 'MWGAMES ON' (for soundblaster) and 'MWMODEM ON' (for modem) commands before launching Linux, and they work! Forgive me if this is common knowledge, but I couldn't find references to anyone else using the ThinkPad's DSP chip under Linux, so I thought I'd share my experiences...

This is the version released October 1994 without WinOs2. I have always used 640x480 on the LCD and never tried getting a higher resolution on an external monitor. Lately I took over >from a colleague an NEC MultiSync 4FG monitor in the office but try as I might I have been unsucessful in getting a higher resolution on this monitor. According to the 750 manual there should be a "ChangRes" and a "SetCRT" batch file after installing the latest drivers from PCCO (ver 1.33) but these drivers are for OS/2 2.1 only, the docs accompanying the drivers state that if the user is using Warp, the video drivers from Warp should be used. My drivers were installed when installing Warp but there is no indication of how to get higher resolution or is this not possible? If any on this list can shed light on this matter, I shall be obliged.

This appearance seems to be completely independent of which combination of clock and mode timing parameters I specify in XF86Config. --Ted Baker From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Fri Aug 25 10:18:52 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA23873; Fri, 25 Aug 95 10:18:52 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA10740; Fri, 25 Aug 1995 10:07:43 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Fri, 25 Aug 1995 10:07:42 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from martigny.ai.mit.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA10730; Fri, 25 Aug 1995 10:07:40 -0400 Received: from slip-cph.lcs.mit.edu by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA22342; Fri, 25 Aug 95 10:07:26 -0400 Received: by omerie.ai.mit.edu (IBM OS/2 SENDMAIL VERSION 1.3.14/1.0um) id AA0040; Thu, 24 Aug 95 22:07:25 -0400 Date: Thu, 24 Aug 95 22:07:25 -0400 From: Chris Hanson Message-Id: <9508250207.AA0040@omerie.ai.mit.edu> To: wyip@nicotra.com.sg Cc: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU In-Reply-To: Msg of Fri, 25 Aug 95 10:30:28 EDT from Wilson Yip (Wilson Yip) Subject: OS/2 Warp - Changing Resolutions Date: Fri, 25 Aug 95 10:30:28 EDT From: Wilson Yip (Wilson Yip) According to the 750 manual there should be a "ChangRes" and a "SetCRT" batch file after installing the latest drivers from PCCO (ver 1.33) but these drivers are for OS/2 2.1 only, the docs accompanying the drivers state that if the user is using Warp, the video drivers from Warp should be used. My drivers were installed when installing Warp but there is no indication of how to get higher resolution or is this not possible? In the Warp user's guide, see chapter 16, "Video Procedures". Basically, with the external display connected and with the video switched to use that display, you must run the command "svga on" in a DOS full-screen session. After this is done, the "System" icon in the "System Setup" folder will have three different resolution settings for you to choose from. The "ChangRes" and "SetCRT" commands don't exist in Warp. Everything is done by means of the "System" icon in the "System Setup" folder, and the "Display" icon in the "ThinkPad Features" folder.

You should not be using the Thinkpad (mobiles) drivers with WARP. With the current WARP drivers you will get 640x480 on the LCD and higher resolutions when an external monitor is connected. Connect up a monitor such the the LCD is off. Then from a FULL SCREEN DOS session run "svga on". You will then find under the system setup notebook that other (higher) resolutions are available.

Hmm. I have my 'pad set to spin down the HD after 15 minutes even in AC mode. Perhaps that has something to do with it, but I _promise_ all of you it _is_ charging on this adaptor. Perhaps someone would like to try an experiment - with a run down battery, shut the cover and leave it on overnight.

Do not do this if you are using video features disk v.1.33!!!! I just did, and scrambled video on my tp750 in a big way. Before you do anything, look at the readme.os2 file on the video features disk. It will save you lots of grief. I did as S.S. suggested above. No change was evident, so I went to system setup. Every time I tried to start it, it crashed, and put the system into it's long recovery convulsions*. I shut down the system, and it would not restart without the alt-f1 restart vga routine. I then had to re-install all my svga drivers. as per instructions on video features disk. By the way, the included instructions specify that to set the external CRT: 1) open OS/2 full screen 2) enter SETCRT 3) select external crt from the list 4) shut down 5) power off 6) connect crt and reboot. Having tried all this, the only option I can generate under system settings on my 750 is 640x480x256. Perhaps this is a tp750 limitation. Additional lessons: When the system goes into recovery convulsions, and you have archiving on, it is writing your former settings to archives. Only the last three are accessable, so don't do this 3 times and expect to get your original settings back. *Recovery Convulsions: Rare OS/2 malady characterised by blank screen and lots of disk activity for a couple of minutes.

If you are on a monochrome 750, it is more complicated. The status of the video (high-performance or not) makes a big difference. I found that if I installed the video drivers in hi-per mode (i.e. LCD or CRT only, can't do simultaneous), switching high-performance off scrambled my LCD. Likewise, if I installed the drivers with hi-per off, switching it on scrambled my LCD. This is a bug in the OS/2 drivers and the way they interact with the mono LCD. Apparently there are so few of us mono OS/2 users that IBM doesn't feel it's worth the effort to fix this bug (it's been there for over a year). Note that toggling the hi-per mode will not take effect until you reboot, and switching hi-per off will disable all SVGA resolutions on a CRT except 640x480. Since I almost never needed the simultaneous display but wanted SVGA on a CRT, I opted to install with high-performance on. Then the procedure Scott described works beautifully AS LONG AS YOU DON'T TURN HIGH-PERFORMANCE BACK OFF. Disclaimer: I haven't used OS/2 for several weeks so I may be wrong about the exact details. I do know for a fact though that one of the Thinkpad video settings will toggle your mono LCD from normal to scrambled depending on what mode it was in when you installed the video drivers. It took me several reinstalls of OS/2 and the video drivers to map out exactly when it happens, and of course I never wrote it down. :) ___________________________________________________________________________ John H.

Off the topic, but you can change this behavior via the power management settings. I found waking from a suspend didn't wake up the PCMCIA devices, so my TP just turns off the screen when I close the cover. ___________________________________________________________________________ John H.

The Readme file is nearly identical with 2 glaring omissions in the recent version.

On a good side, yesterday I made a SCSI Toshiba CD-ROM work with a Bust Toaster PCMCIA card. It worked superbly. All I needed to do is 'mount -t iso9600 /dev/scd0 /cdrom' and I was done. The build in CD-ROM for 755CD is IDE ATAPI, and it was identified as such. but the file ide-cd.c in the kernel drivers/block directory seems to have bugs. Your Caldera drive is also ATAPI, so it points to the same source of problems. > A possibly related problem is that when I had the CDROM in my Thinkpad, > my PCMCIA Ethernet card (GVC NE2000 compat) was going nuts and I geting > errors.

I use a Kingston EtheRx card and it appears to work fine in both PCMCIA slots. This one needs an entry in pcmcia/config which is a copy of the IBM Credit Card adapter's entry. Thank you. -- Marek R.

Ditto (though for different reasons), so the "of course" doen't apply to me. And my 85% battery has charged up to 98% as I sat here and read mail, so that's not why my small charger charges the batt w/ the machine on.

It is a Linux installation like Slackware and just happens to be the first CD I've really tried to use with my 755CD. I am using the builtin CDROM drive of the 755CD and so am having the exact same problems as you! The good news is I stayed up almost all last night and finally fixed it! What I had to do was get the source code for linux/drivers/block/ ide-cd.c from the linux-1.3.0.tar.gz source code. The ide-cd.c code in this release mentioned a fix for some drives that sounded like our problem and when I copied it over and re-built my 1.2.11 Linux kernel, everything works great! As an added note - many thanks to someone who recently mentioned that some DSP stuff works if you boot DOS first and then Linux by using loadlin. I did that and I can now use audio-cds in my 755CD and have the sound go through to the speaker! Also I built a kernel with the sound stuff built-in and it says it found a Sound Blaster 2.0 card. Sadly when I tried to use linuxxdoom all I got was load-white noise (and I think an error from sndserver about can't play 16bit sounds or something?). So at least a little but works and I'm going to play around with the Soundblaster stuff some more and maybe I can get it working without even writing Linux MWave drivers! > > A possibly related problem is that when I had the CDROM in my Thinkpad, > > my PCMCIA Ethernet card (GVC NE2000 compat) was going nuts and I geting > > errors.

My charger will charge the battery when my TP 755C is turned off, but not when I am using it. Which version of the BIOS are you using? I upgraded my BIOS to part # 91G0724 / power management version 1.21 about a month ago. Is there a newer version available?

To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU X-Mailer: SPRY Mail Version: 04.00.06.17 Hi All, Has anyone experienced power management problems using Windows95? Although I've been using Windows95 on my 755CX for a couple of months, I just noticed that "Suspend Mode" (Fn+F4) does not work. If I close the cover or press Fn+F4, the ThinkPad reacts like it's going to implement my command (momentary disk access, etc.), but does nothing. Standby Mode seems to work okay (display turns off). As far as I know, I'm running the most recent firmware and IBM support software. I'm using the "preview version" of Windows95 (build 490), but I'm about to install the "official release" (build 950) if this will make any difference. Comments. Suggestions? Thanks. P.S. - Although this may not have anything to do specifically with ThinkPads, I still can't get Windows95's power management to work with my NEC XP-21 monitor eventhough it is fully "Energy Star compliant". Power management (standby, suspend, etc.) worked great under WFWG, but not at all under Windows95.

Cc: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Another way to get rid of these files is to boot OS/2 from diskette, break out to the command line (obviously you don't want to actually install), and use the OS/2 erase to get rid of these files del "ea?data.?sf" which will certainly work. To boot OS/2 from diskettes, just start the installation process, and then break out with ESC when it asks you what you want to do. You will then be at an OS/2 command prompt.

It's a bit of a kluge fix for an archaic file system. I understand that Win 95 uses a similar, though less capable, system. With this in mind, it is understandable why they make these files difficult to delete. These files don't exist on NTFS or HPFS drives, as extended attributes are included in the individual files. ---------------------------- Victor Kress Geophysical Laboratory 5251 Broad Branch Road N.W.

I have read the "Linux on the IBM ThinkPad" paper, but the section on configuring for a Dock I CDROM is not clear to me. I have probed the SCSI card and it does identify itself as an "IBM F1 BIOS V1.2009/23/93" so that matches what I expected. But it's clear that there is more.

One of my projects here at work is a machine that I've plopped the Netscape server onto, and with the T1 link just around the corner (it's currently a HORRID 56K pipe.. ew.) I was thinking of moving the Thinkpad page over there. Now, it's not worth doing unless I spruce it up a bit, and the things I'd like to see improved are: some archived or linked TP tech documents An improved HD upgrade page A list of memory sources we've all had positive experiences with Links to other Thinkpad pages Links to Linux on Thinkpad pages/info Links to FreeBSD " " " Links to OS/2 " " " Links to Lose95 " " " An HTMLized FAQ (if possible) with links to tips and stuff Majordomo "how to unsubscribe" info and stuff etc I'll be glad to coordinate and implement, but I need some assistance. Is there sufficient interest? The current home of the page has some serious storage limitations, but the new one I can spare 50M or so easy.

While transferring files from one machine to the other, I noticed that the CX disk seemed to be a little slower than the CSE disk. Both are 810MB disks. I did a Norton sysinfo for the disks and came up with 12.4 for the CSE and 10.0 for the CX, confirming my subjective feeling that the CX disk was slower. So I tried switching disks. I put the CSE's disk in the CX, and vice-versa, then ran sysinfo again. The disk in the CX was still rated at ~10.0 and the one in the CSE was still rated at ~12.4. So I guess the slower speed of the disk comes from the machine, but I don't understand why. I guess I assumed that the 100Mhz CSE and the 75Mhz CX would have similar disk bus speeds, or at least that the CX would not be _slower_ than the CSE, but that appears not to be true.

Moreover, the TP755CX does not have any wider bus than the 755CSE-- i.e. both are 32-bit VESA bus. Thus, the CX IS a slower machine in some respects than the CSE, especially for operations that involve data transfers over the memory bus. Moreover, the Pentium being a 64-bit processor, I would also expect some tendency toward memory starvation, even for those computations where the wider register size might pay off. Until IBM gets around to putting a 100MHz Pentium in, the benefit of upgrading is not clear. --Ted Baker From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Mon Aug 28 16:50:12 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA18401; Mon, 28 Aug 95 16:50:12 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id QAA25914; Mon, 28 Aug 1995 16:39:53 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Mon, 28 Aug 1995 16:39:51 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from shadow.net by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id QAA25897; Mon, 28 Aug 1995 16:39:49 -0400 Received: (dwhite@localhost) by shadow.net (8.6.10/jc-1.0) id QAA08401; Mon, 28 Aug 1995 16:44:32 -0400 Date: Mon, 28 Aug 1995 16:44:31 -0400 (EDT) From: Don Whiteside To: David Hite Cc: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Subject: Re: Disk slower in 755CX In-Reply-To: <9508281717.AA13545@cyclone.mitre.org> Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII It's a suprise to me, however IDE drives _are_ PIO, meaning that the CPU is involved in the transfer of data. I'm amazed that would have any impact - the disk is SO much slower than the CPU or memory - but it's theoretically possible that the recovery time from all those interrupts is marginally faster on the faster computer.

Yes, it has an external 64-bit address and data path, but the internal chip architecture is 32-bits wide. Each 64-bit transaction on the local bus is broken up into 2 32-bit transactions internal to the chip.

I've got one of those hypothetically different cases (we never did find out exactly why they were different). The only difference I found was that when you screw the connector into the plastic case, the pin receptacles are offset from the disk's pins by one pin (one of the pins is missing on the drive, and on the old drive it lines up with a capped receptacle on the connector. On the new drive this cap is offset by one pin). I played with the flex-cable until I could force it to fit. I was concerned the solder joints would eventually break from fatigue, but it's held up for over a year (including a dozen or so swaps back back and forth from the original disk). I don't know how any of this would relate to a 3rd party drive. There is nothing physically different about the connector, just the position it lines up at when you place the drive in the case. If the 3rd party drive is smaller in width than the IBM drive by about 1mm, either connector will work without problems. If they're the same, you may have to do what I did. ___________________________________________________________________________ John H.

I have read the "Linux on the IBM ThinkPad" paper, but the section on configuring for a Dock I CDROM is not clear to me. I have probed the SCSI card and it does identify itself as an "IBM F1 BIOS V1.2009/23/93" so that matches what I expected. But it's clear that there is more. So, does anyone have a description of what I need to do to get this going? This has apparently been accomplished by someone -- check out this URL, then select "The Docking Stations" for the details: "http://peipa.essex.ac.uk/tp-linux/tp-linux.html" Actually, I have yet to get the mouse to work as well... The mouse should be a standard PS/2 busmouse. You need to enable this support in the kernel to get it working. It's possible that there's something funny about the Dock I mouse interface, but this is unlikely.

To fix, try these steps in order until it works (from IBM's Hardware Maint. Manual) - 1. Reseat the keyboard Track Point II cable at the interposer card (what it plugs in to). 2. Replace the keyboard if this doesn't work. 3. Replace the external mouse (if you are using one). 4. Replace the system board. As for when you remove whatever and then this doesn't happen, well - I have no idea what that means, nor does the Maint. Manual say anything about it. I imagine another work around might be turning off the TP-II and using a mouse. Billy Y.. > I have had trouble in getting a TP750 to boot.

And as has been mentioned in another note stream, the ON/OFF switch is ignored while in suspend mode. I could never even get suspend to work with OS/2 2.11, so when I had this occasional problem on Warp with resuming from suspend, I put it down to the oft-discussed bug where suspend/resume is affected if you use a power on password (like I do). However, I've recently discovered that resume is in fact working! If you have a power on password, it prompts you to type it in on resuming, and what I have seen is that sometimes when using the LCD, the screen doesn't come up. However, if you assume it has in fact displayed the prompt and you enter it normally, then the screen comes to life and OS/2 returns! So I guess it is just an issue with resume on Warp sometimes failing to restart the display at the prompt stage of the process. Since I discovered this, I have never had suspend/resume fail - it is just 50/50 whether the password prompt is actually visible.

While the PB screen is smaller (9.5 vs. 10.4), it *is* considerably brighter. I owned the 755C before the 540C, and I thought the screen was pretty bright, until I started working with the 540C. The brightness is definitely noticable. Clarity wise, both are 640x480, but the PB540 screen is 640x480x256 *or* 640x400*65,535.

Yes? OK, don your striped shirt ... I'm having a lot of difficulty raising the keyboard on my 'Pad. It seems to me that the releases were assembled incorrectly. When I described the problem on the phone to someone at IBM, he agreed with me. So I sent it in for repair, but got it back today with a note to say that there's nothing at all wrong with it. OK, here's what seems to be wrong. At the front corners of the keyboard are two little metal tabs, which are moved forward by the two small sliders on the side of the unit. On my machine, these tabs look like: __ __ | | | | \ | | / ........ Exhibit A \| |/ whereas is seems to me that they should instead look like: __ __ | | | | | / \ | ........ Exhibit B |/ \| Could you please take a moment to look at your 755CX, and let me know whether yours is like A or B? Right now, the only way I can get the keyboard to open is to pull the tabs to one side with my thumbnail and then slide them forward. Thanks very much! Since this is unlikely to be of great interest to the entire group, perhaps it's better to just e-mail me rather than posting. Cheers, Joseph PS: Impressive service from IBM! -- I called in the problem on Wed, they shipped me a box by Thu, I sent the 'Pad on Thu, and I had it back today, Mon.

Second, I investigated a 750C and a 755C, and both have the wrong way round catches. Remembering more clearly, I believe in fact that it was with the arrival of the 750C that I started to have this problem. I clearly remember that at least one of the earlier machines (700C and or 720C) did NOT have this problem. I really think that Joseph has put his finger on exactly the right explanation.

Well if you want brightness, turn it on! Comparing the 755C with brightness turned down (the normal default for baterry power), with a PB is an uninteresting comparison. I was of course comparing the 755C with the brightness turned up (PS2 BR N) with the power book. I see any other comparison as pretty meaningless. Incidentally, I often find I prefer PS2 BR E when operating from battery power, since this most usually happens on planes and trains, where the ambient light is low, and full brightness is too bright. the 520C screen is MUCH slower than the 540C screen, which is what you would expect given the technologies.

I am considering buying TV tuner for my 755C but the IBM ftp site seems to be devoid of any information about this device. If anyone on this list has bought this accessory I'd like to hear their opinions. In particular I'd like to know: - Is it compatable with both PAL and NTSC - Does it accept an external video input - Can it work alongside applications (ie can I watch tv and word process at the same time) - Can you run it at full screen For your information I have been quoted a price of $573 canadian dollars from pacific blue. Is this a good price as I have not seen it advertised anywhere else. Also I remember the processor upgrade for the 755C (DX2/50 to DX4/75) being discussed on this list before. Pacific Blue have conifrmed that it is user installable and costs $1450 CAD. Thank you all very much for your time.

I owned the 755C before the 540C, and Before this gets completely out of hand, IBM changed the TFT between the 755C and 755CD/CE. That's why if you look at the subject heading, I specifically asked about the CD/CE/CX. The old TFT could only do 8-bit color, the new one can do 16-bit color and has some sort of glare filter to improve contrast. So if you're comparing, make sure to mention which model Thinkpad you're using. ___________________________________________________________________________ John H.

I never had a problem opening the keyboard. If I pull the slider back until they hit a stop, I can open the LCD cover. If I use a little more force and pull past the stop, the keyboard pops open. I do recall having some problems opening the keyboard before I got it replaced to fix the letters coming off. ___________________________________________________________________________ John H.

What may be happening is that people are comparing the screens under different lighting. Sometimes the anti-glare makes the TP look brighter, sometimes they're the same or the Powerbook is brighter (they *are* advertised as backlit). Of course the other unthinkable possibility is that TFTs vary so much in quality that you can't be sure if you'll get a bright or dim one. ___________________________________________________________________________ John H.

Well to summarize this thread, someone claimed that the TP screen was significantly dimmer than a PB screen. I contested this. Later the original poster noted that he had been comparing the screen in economy battery mode with the PB, and yes of course the TP is then not as bright, no question, but also no surprise, and also easily changable if that is what you want. So I think we have no great mystery here. In full power mode, machines are comparably bright, with TP in dim mode, it is dimmer :-) From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Tue Aug 29 15:43:07 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA24838; Tue, 29 Aug 95 15:43:07 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id PAA21337; Tue, 29 Aug 1995 15:31:57 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Tue, 29 Aug 1995 15:31:56 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from mail04.mail.aol.com by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id PAA21327; Tue, 29 Aug 1995 15:31:55 -0400 From: Received: by mail04.mail.aol.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) id PAA23328 for TP750@cs.utk.edu; Tue, 29 Aug 1995 15:31:19 -0400 Date: Tue, 29 Aug 1995 15:31:19 -0400 Message-Id: <950829153118_86323587@mail04.mail.aol.com> To: TP750@CS.UTK.EDU Subject: Panasonic KXL-D720 PCMCIA CD-ROM & 191FF error Hi!

I've examined this on several 755CX models and the ability to slide forward "smoothly" definitely varies from unit to unit. One of the five units I examined did slide smoothly while releasing the keyboard, but most tabs had to be moved slightly towards the outside of the case (just like you described) in order to release the keyboard. I suppose if you spoke to an IBM marketing person, they would tell you that this is a design "feature" to prevent some bad guy/gal >from opening your keyboard too easily and stealing your battery or hard drive. My educated guess is that this is just a manufacturing "flaw" which varies from unit to unit depending on how close to specs the keyboard frame and release tabs are built. Since it only requires a little extra effort to release the keyboard, I'm personally not too concerned about this issue. If IBM won't help you and you are really bothered by this problem, I'd suggest using a very fine file to "fine tune" the tab or keyboard frame until it slides the way you want. Just be careful about getting metal filings into your unit. _\//__ --Sandy / _ _ \ _ ( @ @ ) _ | |------.oOOo--()--oOOo.--------| | | | Internet : sandy@sandy.com | | | |--------------- Oooo.---------| | | | .oooO ( ) | | | | ( ) ) / | | | | \ ( (_/ | | | | \_) | | | | |\ _,,,---,,_ | | | | zzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_.. | | | | |,*< ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' | | | | '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | | ^ ^ From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Tue Aug 29 20:06:14 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA18079; Tue, 29 Aug 95 20:06:14 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id TAA11354; Tue, 29 Aug 1995 19:51:30 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Tue, 29 Aug 1995 19:51:29 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from taurus.cs.nps.navy.mil by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id TAA11344; Tue, 29 Aug 1995 19:51:27 -0400 Received: from holmes.cs.nps.navy.mil by taurus.cs.nps.navy.mil (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA09173; Tue, 29 Aug 95 16:50:19 PDT Received: by holmes.cs.nps.navy.mil (950215.SGI.8.6.10/940406.SGI) for tp750@CS.UTK.EDU id QAA03195; Tue, 29 Aug 1995 16:50:04 -0700 From: "Robert George" Message-Id: <9508291650.ZM3193@holmes.cs.nps.navy.mil> Date: Tue, 29 Aug 1995 16:50:03 -0700 In-Reply-To: dewar@nile.gnat.com (Robert Dewar) "Re: Display on CD, CE, CX" (Aug 29, 1:39pm) References: <9508291739.AA20305@nile.gnat.com> X-Mailer: Z-Mail (3.2.0 26oct94 MediaMail) To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Subject: Re: Display on CD, CE, CX Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii On Aug 29, 1:39pm, Robert Dewar wrote: > Subject: Re: Display on CD, CE, CX > "> I cannot see any difference whatsoever in brightness between a 755C and > > a 755CX, they look identifical in this respect (and are sitting side > > by side). > > They *are* different, or IBM is going to be up for a false advertising > lawsuit:" > > Read what I said, I compared brightness, nowhere do > > "Of course the other unthinkable possibility is that TFTs vary so much > in quality that you can't be sure if you'll get a bright or dim one." > > Well to summarize this thread, someone claimed that the TP screen was > significantly dimmer than a PB screen.

The color depth has nothing to do with the panel -- TFT's are analog panels, so they are capable of an inifinite number of colors. The color depth is determined by the number of bits in the RAMDAC's in the LCD controller chip, and the amount of video ram allocated for the panel. So the 755C has an 8-bit LCD controller, where the 755CD/CE have 16-bit LCD controllers, but they have the same TFT panel. What is especially suspicious is that the resolution and contrast ratio is identical on the 755C/CD/CE panels -- while the next generation panels, such as the Toshiba panel on the 755CX, has 800x600 resolution, and a higher contrast ratio. Also, since Sony manufactures the Thinkpad, the Powerbook, and the Dell Latitude, I would be surprised if they didn't all have identical TFT's within the same generation products.

These same problems exist or have existed for those running Windows 3.1 and OS/2 as well. IBM has managed to fix some of these problems through various BIOS updates, but problems remain and I have my doubts as to IBM's willingness to do the right thing. > I've contacted IBM but they say it's Micorsoft's problem. Typical. You can also expect Microsoft to respond in kind and point the finger right back at IBM. I fought this same APM/Thinkpad battle with the OS/2 people a few months back. In the end (so to speak), I was told that a system board replacement would be necessary. I'll leave it to you to draw your own conclusions, but this doesn't sound like a software problem to me...

They design the laptops there, and send the specifications to Sony. The Dell story is more compilcated. The VP in charge of Powerbook development for Apple left to run the Dell Latitude project, which was having problems. This VP was sending all his Powerbook designs to Sony to be manufactured, so when he moved to Dell, he had them use the same manufacturer. As a convenient cooincidence, Dell was looking for something to differentiate their laptop from their competitors, and Sony was looking for a mass-market for their prototype Lithium-Ion batteries...

The Dell story is more The 700's, 720's, and 750's were designed in Japan. The 350's and 701's were designed in the U.S. I'm not sure where the 755's and 360's are from. Despite my less than stellar batting average with facts recently, I am sure that this is correct -- three IBMers, two from Thinkpad development, told me so. :) Most of the TFT LCD's are from a joint IBM-Toshiba plant in Japan. ___________________________________________________________________________ John H.

I've met some of the guys at Austin from the Thinkpad design group. We discussed some of the design issues related to the 755's, so I assumed at the time that they were responsible for the design. I'm sure there is an extensive design cycle, though, where the EE's design the laptop, the manufacturing engineers say it can't be done that way, and so on. > Most of the TFT LCD's are from a joint IBM-Toshiba plant in Japan. The joint IBM/Toshi plant is in upstate New York. It was built there to avoid the tariffs the US placed on the Japanese for dumping.

If you want the brightness of the TP to be the same as the brightness of the PB when operating on battery, just ask for it. What your sentence really meant was "the PB is brighter when both units are running off of battery, and you operate the TP at low brightness level" I don't know if the PB can reduce the brightness of the screen or not. If not, then this is a clear advantage of the TP to have this control (yes yes I know IBM doesn't document it properly :-) From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Wed Aug 30 18:27:37 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA18835; Wed, 30 Aug 95 18:27:37 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id SAA27187; Wed, 30 Aug 1995 18:19:54 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Wed, 30 Aug 1995 18:19:49 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from armon.rain.com by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id SAA27173; Wed, 30 Aug 1995 18:19:44 -0400 Received: by armon.rain.com (Smail3.1.29.1 #4) id m0snvTk-00012zC; Wed, 30 Aug 95 15:19 PDT Message-Id: From: mehdi@armon.rain.com (Mehdi Attaran) Subject: Re: Win95 and Panasonic CD-ROM To: riddlera@wfu.edu (Randy A.

Anyways I rebooted the machine before I could recover ): Now, I thought that should be fine if I just popped in a floppy boot disk and "fdisk /mbr" it. The TP started up did a self-check - mem, floppy and HD - beeped again (normal so far) and proceeded to boot as specified by the BIOS (ie. the HD then the floppy). It tried to read from HD but nothing and then proceeded to read the floppy.. stil nothing! Surprisingly no startup password check as well! Did a BIOS system test, all's fine and no record of failure from the HD, system board and floppy - before the BIOS setup screen I was prompted for a startup password which was normal. So I checked it with another TP and isolated the problem to the HD! I guess I must have hosed the MBR and partition tables, but it shouldn't hang the whole system disallowing me to boot from floppy (floppy read light on but nothing happens). Any ideas on recovering the HD? Cheers. __________________________________________________________________ kevin cheong mlp program iss nus From owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Thu Aug 31 03:43:40 1995 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA25848; Thu, 31 Aug 95 03:43:40 -0400 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id DAA01387; Thu, 31 Aug 1995 03:34:38 -0400 X-Resent-To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU ; Thu, 31 Aug 1995 03:34:36 EDT Errors-To: owner-tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Received: from imag.imag.fr by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id DAA01368; Thu, 31 Aug 1995 03:34:24 -0400 Received: from safran-28 (safran.imag.fr [129.88.29.1]) by imag.imag.fr (8.6.11/8.6.9) with ESMTP id JAA09452 for ; Thu, 31 Aug 1995 09:34:15 +0200 Received: (elf@localhost) by safran-28 (940816.SGI.8.6.9/8.6.4) id JAA27441 for tp750@cs.utk.edu; Thu, 31 Aug 1995 09:34:15 +0200 Message-Id: <199508310734.JAA27441@safran-28> From: Eugene.Fiume@imag.fr (Eugene Fiume) Date: Thu, 31 Aug 1995 09:34:14 -0600 X-Mailer: Mail User's Shell (7.2.5 10/14/92) To: tp750@CS.UTK.EDU Subject: Linux and MWAVE modem There was a flurry of messages about getting some MWAVE functionality in linux if you load the MWAVE modem and SoundBlaster emulator before booting linux. I read some reports of (partial) success, but I don't think I got a direct answer to the question: Has anyone actually got the MWAVE modem to run under Linux? As I mentioned in my message, I got as far as getting some part of the software to respond "OK" to my "AT", but when I tried to actually initialise the modem, I got a "HOST DRIVER TIMEOUT". Given what little I know about MWAVE, I would be (very pleasantly) surprised if things *did* work as easily as just turning the darn thing on before booting. I go through DOS to initialise my ethernet card anyway. However, it is interesting that when mwmodem is turned on, Linux does indeed see a 16550A UART on COM2, which is where the modem sits. Anyway, if someone has got the modem working under Linux, please reply. Thanks, Eugene Fiume.

The solution is to get their latest Win95 beta driver, released Aug 29th 1995. This is the second beta they have released. I have placed a copy at: ftp://ftp.engr.wisc.edu/pub/todds-area/d720_w95.exe It ends up wanting to call itself as a "KXLC001 SCSI Controller" as opposed to a "CD-ROM Controller", which I personally find encouraging! (for possibly using other devices with the card) Everything seems to work well, including hot swapping and the Win95 CD-ROM "Auto Play". The only "gotcha" is be certain to STOP the PCMCIA card before ejecting it, else things get real ugly and you'll may have to reboot. To STOP the card, you can simply left mouse click on the PC-Card tray icon on the task bar, or go to the control panel and click on "PC Card". I'll check with Panasonic in a few more weeks for the official "release" version of the driver, and let folks know when it appears .
