If you don't mind doing so, try taking off the cover, reseating the cable, turn it on, see if it works, if not, try again, and don't reseal it until you've got it done. Then the next problem is that the LCD might be messed up. And last but not least, it could possibly be the board level components, although I highly doubt it.

If I'm not mistaken the dockingsattion is a Dock II. It has a CD player and a tokenring ISA adapter in it. My problem is that win 95 is not able to detect neither the CDrmo or the tokenring card. Win 95 also looses all it's configuration (the PCMCIA tokenring adapter, and the settings for the screen) when inserted into the dockingstation. These settings do not come back when the TP is removed >from the docking station. My problem then is that I do not know what kind of cd player the dock came with (it's the standard black CD drvie from IBM that is made for the docking station) and how I get win 95 to recognise this drive and the tokenring adapter. Any help or hints are welcome. CU -- LArs Evensen, stud. techn.

Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu To introduce: I have a thinkpad 370C. It has a 10.4" TFT LCD, (4+16)MB RAM, and a 340MB HD. I run Linux, and there is a small portion of the HD for DOS. I'm in the process of upgrading the HD to a HITACHI DK225A-21 2.1GB, that I just got for HFL600,- (US$300). However, I got a problem installing the Hitachi HD. After switching on the notebook, the BIOS reported an error message related to the disk and the machine stopped booting. My first idea was to update the BIOS. I got the update (sytpw140) downloaded >from the net. When I entered the BIOS installation menu I got the message that a charged battery pack is required, and the installation program stopped. Unfortunately my battery pack died, and I do not want to buy an new one (I just use my thinkpad as a moveable desktop). Does anyone know of a way to install a new BIOS without a charged battery?

Pull on the=20 vertical part with your fingernail .=20 The right hook is very easy to get to .

It should unhook.=20 Now that you know what it looks like, do the same to the other side . = (grin) The other side (left) is almost invisible ...have lots of light .. = since there is no PCMCIA hole, your hand and screwdriver will block your view at first . Once it unhooks the whole bezel flips back and pulls out. Put the keyboard back and Latch it ! Those 3 very flat "ribbon type " cables coming from the keyboard are a = comon problem. The smallest one is for the trackpoint.=20 With all 3 cables pull back the FRONT part of the connector . It only comes out ~1mm ...use a fingernail(s) and pry back both sides = at once . Once they are loose,..so is the "ribbon cable", so pull it out. Check for any dirt etc....gently clean them..and put them back in. Reseat the connector . Boot the TP and try out the keyboard.=20 You can use the "EASY SETUP" to test the keyboard. Hold down the F1 key while turning on the power. Go to the "test" icon ..enter it. Do a CTRL A for advanced diags. Do a CTRL K for the Keyboard test. To put it all back together just work backwards ;-} It's easier to hold the keyboard and the bezel together a little above = the pivot point for the keyboard. Push the back of the bezel in while still holding the = keyboard a=20 little higher and then seat the "closer to you " side of the bezel.=20 Carefull!! don't pull on the keyboard cables.

I have a few questions about this machine: 1. Is the display color? (I am assuming it is; want to make sure tho') 2. I know it does not have a built in CD-Rom. But, I can hook up an external CD-Rom to the parallel port. Any problems with this set up? Or is there a better alternative? 3. This does not have a built in modem, but, If I buy a PCMCIA modem card, I should be able to dial anywhere. Correct me if I am wrong. 3.1. How about connecting an external modem (regular PC modem) to the serial port? Any problems with this setup? 4. This comes with only 8 MB of RAM. Can I add another 16MB, bringing the total up to 24MB? Any problems with that? 5. How about connecting external speakers? I have never owned a laptop, and my ignorance may be showing here. Basically, I would like to use it - while travelling - for everything, I normally use my desktop for - word processing, presentations, lite programming. Occasionally use the modem to get e-mail, web etc..., and sometimes use it for multimedia presentations. The usage is light. So, I don't need a bleeding edge laptop. I just need an adequate system. Will this do? All your comments are welcome.

I ran one of my USR Courier v.Everythings that way for a month at home until I stuck a faster PC card mdem/network card combo in it. I was moving and had already moved my "big" systems.

Assuming that you will be using OS/2 (from your X-Mailer line), be sure to look for one that supports OS/2. Personally, I'd rather choose SCSI, as it has a better throughput and doesn't over tax the system as much. That's what I use on my server. >3.

I got a new LCD cable from IBM today, took the darn thing apart again, put in the cable and a nice clear picture popped up! Since the 701 came with no HDD (and so no IBM 701-specific software), I'm sure I'll be asking you all for set up advice soon.

PCMCIA CDROMS are usually (not always!) faster, but less flexible (in that you can't also use it on your desktop machine). Incidentally, I just spend several days trying to get one drive (from CMS Enhancements) working on my 560; finally gave up, sent it back, and now have a genuine IBM drive (installed instantly, runs great, looks very cool). Moral: not all drives work with all machines (though PP drives should have fewer problems). If you only want the CDROM for software installation, and have access to another PC which *does* have a CD, then you can install over a cable and avoid the extra cost. > 3. This does not have a built in modem, but, If I buy a PCMCIA > modem card, I should be able to dial anywhere. Correct me if I am wrong. If by 'anywhere' you include more than one continent, it helps to have an "international" or "global" modem (which will recognize foreign dial tones, busy signals, rings, etc) - not essential, but very nice IMHO (my IBM "International" pcmcia modem works a treat in England, much more convenient than the motorola I tried the previous trip). - David R.

Problem is that IBM now has some kind of wierd nomadic web site setup, rendering it increasingly difficult to find stuff there. There are also two different search engines, the main one that never finds the thing you're looking for, and the useful one that you only stumble across if your computer is hit by a power surge while loading a web page from one of IBM's marginal divisions. Actually, if you call Easy Serve one of the first things the voicemail gives you is an option to learn where H&A adaptor information is available online.

Each has plusses and minuses neither of which should be a dealbreaker. On my first 560, I bought a parallel port machine with a printer pass-through port. The only downside was that I like to use an Iomega tape backup which also needs the parallel port. They don't work well together. The workaround is to manually change connections because they don't like AB switches either. On my new machine, I bought a PCMCIA CD. Its only negative, thus far, is that my PCMCIA modem is an Xjack. When the CD is connected threre's not enough room for the XJACK modem to be connected. Easy solution is to unplug one or the other. As above, minor problems in the overall picture, and if your modem isn't XJACK, there is no problem (at least with that issue).

I'm quite happy with mine, but I use both a laptop and a desktop, so when I feel like I need more horsepower for a particular task, I go to my desktop. Do keep in mind that laptops are inherently slower than the same-MHz desktop--i.e., a 560 running at 133 MHz is *not* going to be as fast as virtually any desktop running at 133 MHz. Just part of the tradeoff you make for the benefit of portability. Personally, I think the 560 is a great choice for people who want a quality, light, reasonably "fast" but not bleeding-edge fast laptop at what I consider to be a good price point. Sure you can by cheaper, but I think its worth it to have the major brands as laptops go--Toshiba, IBM, etc. ------- Randal J.

Just part of the >tradeoff you make for the benefit of portability. I think that the 560/133 is slower than a 133 desktop because the 560 does not have an L2 cache. Reviews of the latest 560 - the 233 mhz 560x - indicate that it is as fast as a 233 mhz desktop. For example: "The latest notebook PCs powered by 233MHz Tillamook Pentium chips perform on a par with 233MHz Pentium-based desktop PCs but, for what they cost, a company could buy a Pentium II desktop system and have money left over." http://www.zdnet.com/pcweek/reviews/1201/01note.html The article has a favorable review of the 560x.

DSTN is cheaper, has a narrow viewing angle so spies seated near you on the aircraft have a tougher time reading the screen. TFT is more expensive, better video quality, and a wider viewing angle. I had a NCR with a TFT and now have a TP365ED with DSTN. It seems later DSTN displays are good and I am happy with the DSTN display. My advice is to compare the two types and see which one is better for you. >2. I know it does not have a built in CD-Rom. But, I can hook up an > external CD-Rom to the parallel port.

I find this handy because one of the uses is to use a CD based map program for navigation. In my old setup I used a NEC portable CDROM with a separate Adaptec Slim Scsi card. I did this because I also use a zip drive and a Exabyte 8200 8mm tape drive for backup. I still use the zip drive and tape on my new machine. All my active computers have SCSI cards. I prefer Adaptec mainly because of the OS support, they have a web site, and they seem to work. >3.

I am surprised at how good my 365ED does when you max it out with 24 mb of ram. I also replaced the hard disk with a 1 gigabyte one. It is a 586 processor equal to about a P75 but I am amazed that it can do VoxChat (voice irc) program. So I would suggest you look at something like the 365XD as well. This has a better processor than the 365ED and it has the CD built-in. > >73 Eric ecottrell@doble.com From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Thu Dec 4 11:53:01 1997 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA243554380; Thu, 4 Dec 1997 11:53:00 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id LAA20748; Thu, 4 Dec 1997 11:52:44 -0500 (EST) Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Thu, 4 Dec 1997 11:51:14 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id LAA20617; Thu, 4 Dec 1997 11:51:13 -0500 (EST) Received: from mail.zrz.TU-Berlin.DE (mail.zrz.TU-Berlin.DE [130.149.4.15]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id LAA20597; Thu, 4 Dec 1997 11:50:59 -0500 (EST) Received: from sp.zrz.TU-Berlin.DE (actually cetus.zrz.TU-Berlin.DE) by mail.zrz.TU-Berlin.DE with SMTP (IC-PP); Thu, 4 Dec 1997 17:50:42 +0100 Received: from virgo.zrz.TU-Berlin.DE.zrz.TU-Berlin.DE by sp.zrz.TU-Berlin.DE (SMI-8.6/ZRZ-Sol-2.5) id RAA26209; Thu, 4 Dec 1997 17:50:41 +0100 Received: by virgo.zrz.TU-Berlin.DE.zrz.TU-Berlin.DE (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA20204; Thu, 4 Dec 97 17:50:41 +0100 Date: Thu, 4 Dec 1997 17:50:37 +0100 (MET) From: Stefan Hendrata X-Sender: henddjee@virgo.zrz.TU-Berlin.DE To: THINKPAD@cs.utk.edu Subject: [TP560] Problem with DSTN display. Please respond! Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu Hello TP560-Owners! I'm also an owner of a Thinkpad 560 (P100, DSTN) for about a month now. But since some days ago there's something with the display disturbing me: At the boundaries of the screen there is a grey-pink line. It's like a recatangular frame surrounding the screen. This frame doesn't belong to the contents of the screen and its width is about 1-2 mm. When I have a black background (e.g. DOS-Shell) this is quite annoying because these lines are shining lighter than the background. Can anybody owning a TP560 tell me whether (s)he has this effect, too? Thank you in advance! +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | _, | E-Mail: henddjee@sp.zrz.tu-berlin.de | | (_ |_| | Fax: +49-30-84709131 | | ,_)tefan | |endrata | pgp-key: send e-mail with subject 'send pgp key' | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Thu Dec 4 13:16:26 1997 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA257989386; Thu, 4 Dec 1997 13:16:26 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id NAA24984; Thu, 4 Dec 1997 13:16:13 -0500 (EST) Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Thu, 4 Dec 1997 13:13:01 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id NAA24830; Thu, 4 Dec 1997 13:13:00 -0500 (EST) Received: from torgo.punk.net (torgo.punk.net [207.114.150.54]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id NAA24804; Thu, 4 Dec 1997 13:12:49 -0500 (EST) Received: from localhost (sparker@localhost) by torgo.punk.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id LAA03112; Thu, 4 Dec 1997 11:11:10 -0800 Date: Thu, 4 Dec 1997 11:11:09 -0800 (PST) From: Steve Parker To: Stefan Hendrata Cc: THINKPAD@cs.utk.edu Subject: Re: [TP560] Problem with DSTN display.

I just dug through the IBM sites and did get fairly close to where the HAWIN95.EXE package was. After a little digging I found it.

I have 2 batteries for my TP 560 and generally I just swap between them every now and again. Unless I'm going on a trip where I want both batteries, I pretty much just leave one of them on the shelf, with the occasional swap just to keep both of them exercised. Is it possible to leave one on the shelf for too long? I think its been perhaps as long as a couple of months since I last swapped batteries around and now that I put my #2 battery back in, the system just plain *won't* charge it. Its not as though the battery won't "hold" a charge, its that it *never* GETS charged to begin with. System still works fine with my #1 battery. Now I've had batteries slowly die from constant cycling (the 750 series was guilty of this), but I haven't had a battery outright die just from sitting there for so short a time. It worked fine when I last used it! Help? Advice? Similar experiences? ------- Randal J.

I am very happy with my Panasonic Portable PCMCIA 4x drive, but read the documentation carefully!! It turns out that the drive will not work if you put the PCMCIA card in the top slot instead of the bottom. In fact, it crashes the system. Don't ask me why, but the warning in Panasonic's documentation is specific to the IBM 560 and I found out the hard way (of course I didn't read the manual, and ended up at Panasonic's tech support line). BTW, does anyone know *why* it won't work?

Indeed. I had the same trouble with an Adaptec 1460A (OEM version shipped with the Sony 4X CD Discman) and a 760C. At the time, I attributed it to a connector clearance problem -- the external dongle fit slightly better with the card in the lower slot. In my case, it worked reliably in the lower slot, but only rarely in the upper one. -- Tim Tyhurst tim@excelsior.com From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Fri Dec 5 00:51:06 1997 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA085101066; Fri, 5 Dec 1997 00:51:06 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id AAA22653; Fri, 5 Dec 1997 00:50:31 -0500 (EST) Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Fri, 5 Dec 1997 00:48:37 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id AAA22550; Fri, 5 Dec 1997 00:48:36 -0500 (EST) Received: from pacs03.infoave.net (pacs03.InfoAve.Net [165.166.0.13]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id AAA22538; Fri, 5 Dec 1997 00:48:26 -0500 (EST) Received: from linnskip (dial-18.r13.scsumt.infoave.net) by InfoAve.Net (PMDF V5.1-8 #23426) with SMTP id <01IQSNXU4VAG8ZZY79@InfoAve.Net> for THINKPAD@cs.utk.edu; Fri, 5 Dec 1997 00:47:47 EST Date: Fri, 05 Dec 1997 00:37:57 -0500 From: Linn Skipper Subject: Home & Away Modem/Network Card-Its working Now To: THINKPAD@cs.utk.edu Message-Id: <34879335.B54@ftc-i.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01 (Win95; I) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu Many thnaks to all who responded to my post.

I have no objection to the concept of using RFC 822 header fields for envelope information, as we've discussed before. However, it would be very strange for this information to affect response targets. Example: You send a message to drums@cs.utk.edu and ietf-822@imc.org. I receive it from drums with the drums List-* fields in my drums mailbox. I also receive it from ietf-822 with the ietf-822 List-* fields in my ietf-822 mailbox. Should my followup target depend on where I see the message? Btw, the current version of mutt will automatically add Mail-Followup-To: drums@cs.utk.edu, ietf-822@imc.org so followups will go to exactly the right addresses. ---Dan Put an end to fake mailing list subscriptions. http://pobox.com/~djb/ezmlm.html From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Sat Dec 6 01:58:33 1997 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA040841512; Sat, 6 Dec 1997 01:58:32 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id BAA09502; Sat, 6 Dec 1997 01:58:19 -0500 (EST) Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Sat, 6 Dec 1997 01:56:05 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id BAA09083; Sat, 6 Dec 1997 01:56:05 -0500 (EST) Received: from spot.cs.utk.edu (SPOT.CS.UTK.EDU [128.169.92.189]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id BAA09070; Sat, 6 Dec 1997 01:56:00 -0500 (EST) Received: from cs.utk.edu by spot.cs.utk.edu with ESMTP (cf v2.11c-UTK) id BAA02618; Sat, 6 Dec 1997 01:55:57 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199712060655.BAA02618@spot.cs.utk.edu> X-Uri: http://www.cs.utk.edu/~moore/ X-Pgp-Key: 2F07A741 ; 78 15 8E 8B C0 06 5D D1 BC 08 05 7F 42 81 7E 90 To: thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Subject: [admin] sorry about the previous message from Bernstein Cc: moore@cs.utk.edu From: Keith Moore Date: Sat, 06 Dec 1997 01:55:56 -0500 Sender: moore@cs.utk.edu Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu The message from Bernstein was intended for a different list that I maintain.

If I use my Thinkpad as standalone (either booting that way or having un-docked it from my Multiport II), then re-attach to my Multi-port II, my printer (on LPT 1) doesn't work. Going into Device Manager, under Ports, shows 2 LPT1, one with the settings and address for my floppy/parallel port (which is normally LPT2 when docked) and the other for my regular parallel port. When I reboot everything works fine until I un-dock and re-dock again. In the "Device Usage" area on the General page for the LPT1, I have tried both checking and unchecking the "undocked" box and that doesn't seem to have made a difference. It seems like something is not changing ports as it should when I undock and redock, but it had worked perfectly for a year before this started happening. Have you experienced anything like this. Any ideas for a solution? Thanks for any help!

What exactly means "cannot get it tuned"? Can you tell what graphics chip you have? If it's the Cyber9320, XFree86 3.3.1 is likely to be broken. I am using the 3.2 X server on my TP760EL (which has the same graphics chip) with the LCD and 3.3.1 with an external monitor (1024x768@75 Hz). If you were happy with the 3.2 X server, I'd keep using it.

The 2.5" HDs still spin at between 3,600 and 4,900 RPMS, significantly lower than desktop EIDE and SCSI, and have less throughput because of the size of the platters. The bus is slower, because you have to compromise for good battery life, CPU reliability, so it doesn't get too hot to warp the plastic, etc. As I might have mentioned earlier, you should have a specific reason to get a notebook, like size (if you have almost no desk), portability, weight when travelling, etc. No one buys a notebook because it's a speed demon.

We've talked about this here before. Max refresh rates and max non-interlaced resoltion are functions of *both* the card *and* the monitor. Sometimes even video card version (i.e., the Hercules Stingray PCI card can drive some monitors at hgher refresh rates than the VLB model). - David From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Mon Dec 8 01:08:50 1997 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA091051329; Mon, 8 Dec 1997 01:08:49 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id BAA29078; Mon, 8 Dec 1997 01:04:43 -0500 (EST) Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Mon, 8 Dec 1997 01:01:33 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id BAA28778; Mon, 8 Dec 1997 01:01:32 -0500 (EST) Received: from eye.rist.re.kr (eye.rist.re.kr [203.249.227.235]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id BAA28763; Mon, 8 Dec 1997 01:01:21 -0500 (EST) Received: (from bin@localhost) by eye.rist.re.kr (8.7.5/8.7.3) id PAA00892; Mon, 8 Dec 1997 15:03:45 +0900 Date: Mon, 8 Dec 1997 15:03:45 +0900 Message-Id: <199712080603.PAA00892@eye.rist.re.kr> From: mahn-soo choi Reply-To: mahn-soo choi To: thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Subject: Re: XF86-3.3.1 on TP365XD ?

Well, I tried with XF86Setup, and could get X to work, but poorly at 640x480 or something. Naturally, I was encouraged to believe that I may be able to fine tune the X. > Can you tell what graphics chip you have? If it's the Cyber9320, XFree86 > 3.3.1 is likely to be broken. Yes, mine is Cyber9320 according to the H/W specification. SuperProbe detects the chipset as tgui9320lcd, though. Of couse, I tried with the line "Chipset tgui9320lcd" in /etc/XF86Config. Not works as you expected. > If you were happy with the 3.2 X server, I'd keep using it. I do keep using XF86-3.2 .

That's certainly a major part of the equation.

It sounds as though this is a new event with the Tillamook chip package. Frankly I'm still suspicious though... Do remember we're talking about *systemic* performance, not just chip. And as a system, a laptop has *many* compromises that you don't see in desktops (HD speed, for one--video for another). All these compromises work to slow the system down compared to your average desktop. ------- Randal J.

It isn't very 'portable' though (the a.c. adaptor is huge). I have just placed an order for a new Notebook Zip drive ('ThinkPad Zip') which has been customised by VST Technologies specifically for use in ThinkPad 760's Ultrabay. It may be a while before I get the delivery of the product, I suspect, since Iomega just announced the release of their Notebook Zip drives a few weeks ago. When that time comes, I plan to get rid of the paralle Zip altogether. Should I anticipate any problems? Would I need to uninstall the parallel Zip drive (and all its associated software) before setting up the new ThinkPad Zip drive? If so, how do I go about this? Anyone had experiences with this drive? Any comments would be most welcomed and appreciated.

I think Randy meant a 16550, Yup. That's it. :-) It was quite an issue on the 750's, as their external serial port supported only a 16450-type UART chip, and that just wasn't fast enough for any decent, fast (then 14.4K) modem. ------- Randal J.

I have the Sony 4X CD Discman (PRD-250, with the Adaptec 1460A) also, but I haven't been able to get it working with my 701C [which has the 3O BIOS] under DOS/Windows 3.1 in either slot.

Could be a problem with the Toshiba; I know that the CMS drive that I couldn't make work on my 560 had a "doesn't work on the following Toshibas:..." warning in the FAQ. On this subject let me make another plug for the IBM portable CDROM drives (models 1969008,9,10,11).

Also interesting is that you can take off the 8250 or 16450 on older I/O cards and replace it with a 16550, because they operate exactly the same, but software determines whether you can use the advanced features of the 16550 or not.

I'm pretty sure they work with Linux too (at least, when I was web-surfing for product info, I ran across a discussion of how to get them to work with Linux). As for price: too expensive. My 4x was a refurb for $150, but the place where I bought it has no more. I think the newer 8-20x CAV versions retail for several hundred.

Here is what I ended up doing after I strongly considered going from Texas to New Jersey to do the Panasonic technical non-support people bodily harm.

They had me take it off "auto detect" and change the interrupt setting to 9 which worked like a charm. Ultimately I've sent the Panasonic unit back because I received such poor service and will probably buy and Addonics or something similar. Hope this helps. Stanley K.

I've done that with a few IO cards. Unless they are socketed it is hardly worth it. I've desoldered 8250's and 16450's from a few IO boards, installed sockets and stuck in 16550's. It mattered a lot more about 3-7 years ago when I mainly had '386 and '486 boxes and IO boards with 16550's were both expensive and hard to find. Having a good desolder station makes it practical. Not having one makes it fairly difficult. Nowadays you can also get a 16650 which increases the buffer to 32-bytes. This helps at 230.4Kbps and 460.8Kbps speeds and higher. They no longer use the same pinout and usually have 2-4 ports worth in one IC. ============================================================================ ==== Help crack RC5 64-bit encryption -- http://www.distributed.net/rc5 ==== ============================================================================ From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Mon Dec 8 23:28:08 1997 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA018271685; Mon, 8 Dec 1997 23:28:05 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id XAA19536; Mon, 8 Dec 1997 23:27:54 -0500 (EST) Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Mon, 8 Dec 1997 23:27:04 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id XAA19391; Mon, 8 Dec 1997 23:27:02 -0500 (EST) Received: from mtigwc04.worldnet.att.net (mtigwc04.worldnet.att.net [204.127.131.33]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id XAA19334; Mon, 8 Dec 1997 23:26:42 -0500 (EST) Received: from infinia ([12.65.130.74]) by mtigwc04.worldnet.att.net (post.office MTA v2.0 0613 ) with ESMTP id AAA2921 for ; Tue, 9 Dec 1997 04:26:10 +0000 Reply-To: From: "Stanley Chen" To: "Thinkpad" Subject: Re: Not enough Memory Date: Mon, 8 Dec 1997 22:26:29 -0600 X-Msmail-Priority: Normal X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1155 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-Id: <19971209042608.AAA2921@infinia> Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu * Try running your larger applications first and your smaller ones last. * Change wallpaper to: pattern of 50% Gray or None * If you don't need what's on the clipboard, clear it. * Run non-Windows programs full-screen instead of windowed. * Iconize any Windows programs that you want to keep open; otherwise close them. * Remove unused fonts from your system using control panel. * Decrease the size of your disk cache. 1Mb cache works well on most systems.

Yes, the 16550 pinout is the same as the 8250 and 16450. I said the 16650 [which isn't by NS as far as I know] uses a different pinout. I also have heard of one with a 1K FIFO [might have been 2K] but I don't recall a part number for it. I think Startech makes them. I know they make 2 port and 4 port versions of the 16550 called the 16552 and 16554. I haven't read anything about them for about 9 months though. ============================================================================ ==== Help crack RC5 64-bit encryption -- http://www.distributed.net/rc5 ==== ============================================================================ From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Tue Dec 9 07:32:24 1997 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA086360743; Tue, 9 Dec 1997 07:32:23 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id HAA11636; Tue, 9 Dec 1997 07:32:13 -0500 (EST) Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Tue, 9 Dec 1997 07:30:29 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id HAA11427; Tue, 9 Dec 1997 07:30:28 -0500 (EST) Received: from kendall.chenoweth.net (kendall@[205.246.12.253]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id HAA11407; Tue, 9 Dec 1997 07:30:20 -0500 (EST) Received: from localhost (kendall@localhost) by kendall.chenoweth.net (8.8.3/8.8.3) with SMTP id HAA00530 for ; Tue, 9 Dec 1997 07:30:09 -0500 X-Authentication-Warning: kendall.chenoweth.net: kendall owned process doing -bs Date: Tue, 9 Dec 1997 07:30:08 -0500 (EST) From: Kendall Don Chenoweth X-Sender: kendall@kendall.chenoweth.net To: IBM Thinkpad Listserv Subject: Win965/Thinkpad 365X/Ultima8 Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu Hello, I am trying to run Ultima 8 on windows 95 using a Thinkpad 365X.

You have to make some changes to the installation diskettes. Check out Ty Shrake's Warped Thinkpad page at http://www.tpwarper.com/. I followed the procedure he details there; on the second reboot, OS/2 couldn't find my CD because the PC Card drivers weren't installed yet. That was easily remedied by booting to a command prompt, copying the drivers from the diskette and editing CONFIG.SYS on the installation drive. It's possible that putting the line SET COPPYFROMFLOPPY=1 in the CONFIG.SYS on Diskette 1 could obviate the need for that step. I'm not sure what you mean by "SCSI utilities".

Hi, Old thread, but I thought I might raise it again now that the 560X is out. Was the comment about the NeoMagic chip speculation that they would change to it? The 560X as released so far is still SVGA and the technical specs they publish still mention the Trident chips. Any other experience? Too bad they haven't taken it to 1024x768 yet, but on the other hand the ability to run XFree86 is a even better bonus!

Unlikely, unless neomagic changes their policy on releasing programming information. If the XFree86 programmers can't get that information, they can't do the port.

As a consequence, I am unable to use the middle button which is supported by the driver only when the trackball is accessed via a serial port. So I want to use the Communications Port (re-enabled and configured to COM2 via the CMOS setup) to access the trackball. That means the Panasonic CD-ROM would have to use a different IRQ.

It's choices according to the manual are 3,4, 7,9,10, 11, and 15. If I could assign IRQ 11 or IRQ 15, I would be home free to configure the rest of the IRQ's the way I want. However, when I got to Control Panel/System Properties/Xircom CD-IIps CreditCard Ethernet Adapter/Resources and attempt to change the IRQ, I find that Windows 95 OSR2 limits my selection to 3, 4, 7, 9 or 10. Neither 11 or 15 are not offered as viable options. If I attempt to manually enter 11 or 15, Windows tells me that the setting is not valid for this device and automatically chooses IRQ 3 instead. > >Paul, can you (or anybody else reading this) tell me how to use IRQ 11 or 15 for the Xircom network card given this situation? My suspicion is that this is a Xircom driver related problem, but that being said what can I do about it? > Hmmm, I haven't even touched 95 except for interupting a screen saver in about 3 or so months. I know that in OS/2, you can map things like parallel or serial to different ports if supported, but I'm not sure about Windows 95, in the case of the Xircom adapter. For example, I have the Internal modem, COM2 on the multiport, and my Home & Away card, and the H&A is on IRQ 11, COM3. I do wish that the BIOS would allow you to remap the IRQ like that though. Have you tried also contacting Xircom yet?

Its in the top slot, not sure if I've ever had it in the bottom slot. The one thing that stopped it from working was when the 32 bit drivers were enabled (I'm using W95). The internal modem did not work reliably at first, but has since I updated the sound card drivers. I've used a couple of services, using w95 hyperterminal and tcp stack. __________________ peckham@netcom.com On Tue, 9 Dec 1997, Stanley Chen wrote: > Has anyone in the group come across problems loading ISP software.

I got it for around $120, direct from IBM. Expensive, and i could only find a version with clicky keys, when i prefer silent keys - but still worth it, i wouldn't do without it. I'm sort of a fanatic about keeping my hands in place on the keyboard when i'm working steadily at the computer, and find the trackpoint to be worlds ahead of anything else i've tried in that vein. The quality of the IBM keyboard seems quite good, though i still would prefer if the keys didn't click. I'm curious about the alternative trackpoint keyboards, like the adesso, but haven't tried any of them at any length. Anyone have any experience to speak of, with them?

I've got a Thinkpad 340. I found the computer really hard to use with Windows 3.11 . When I would upgrade to somthing like a PCMCIA modem, the driver wouldn't work. I was also having trouble connecting to my new service provider so I had to use Trumpets Winsock which I really hate. So it was time to upgrade to a new operating system. I admire you guys who are still using Windows 3.11, I found it hard to use in this day and age. Anyway, I installed Windows 95 from a set of floppies first to be sure my computer would handle it. I was told the computer would be really hard to use because it would be so slow (only 4 megs) . Boy was it! So I installed an 8 MEG upgrade card. This has helped tremendously. Although it is not as fast as my desktop I am wondering if I can speed it up a bit. Here's what I have upgraded it to (and other specs) as of now: 12 MEG Ram total 28.8 PCMCIA modem Windows 95 The hard drive is aparantly 120 MEG. Windows 95 is a hard drive hog so I have about 25 MEG to spare as of now. The microprocesser is a 25/50. This was explained to me but how to I know if I am running in 50 MHZ mode? Also has anyone had any luck using DriveSpace? One guy told me not to use it because he did and it screwed his Packard Bell desktop up. But another guy said if I compressed my hard drive it would speed the computer up and he has had good luck with it. I'm kind of weiry about using compression programs. Has Anybody had any luck using DriveSpace? Has Anybody had any problems using it? I would really like to avoid using it for fear it might mess something up but my hard drive is close to getting Maxed out. Is the small space left on the HD really slowing the computer down? Also how to I upgrade to 50 MHZ and how do I tell if I am running in 25 MHZ mode? Under performance my computer says : 80486 Also the battery is stone dead. Is there any harm of leaving it in there? I know charging a dead battery on a car will make it swell and leak. Is there any chance of this happening on my Thinkpad? I always use it when I am near a phone jack and electrical outlet so I really don't need a battery. Does IBM or anybody else make a "Dummy" battery which fits in place of the battery? For this reason I leave the computer upplugged when I am not using it. I tried charging it for 10 hours the other day and it still won't hold a charge. Thanks.

It's something screwy with the SCSI interface on the drive itself - I tried it with both the Panasonic (QLogic) card, and with an Adaptec 1460A card. Windows could see the drive, Linux couldn't.

Even 12 megs of memory is pretty small for W95 - it only really becomes usable at 16 megs, and pleasant at 24 megs.

Use the Drivespace version 3 that comes with Plus (or with the more recent OEM version of W95); the version of drivespace that came with the old W95 was less stable. For maximum safety, don't compress the whole drive - leave an uncompressed partition containing critical files (system, etc). Of course, with only 120 megs total this doesn't leave you much to compress! > Is the small space left on the HD really slowing the computer down? Could be - your virtual memory cache has probably shrunk to nearly zero.

I > know charging a dead battery on a car will make it swell and leak. Different battery technology (nicad vs. lead acid), though you might eventually get some corrosion followed by leakage. I would check the battery every so often for damage.

If so, how does it feel and etc. I was at a computer store just last week and saw a box for a "natural" keyboard (left and right halves tilted to better fit your hands) with a trackpoint/joystick thing in the middle.

(I didn't get one with mine.) This would be extremely useful for crash recovery. (2) To use the CDROM under DOS I apparently need some DOS socket services; this drive (an IBM) apparently cannot talk directly to the controller (as can some). I know that there is a DOS PC Card director available from the IBM web site; is this sufficient? Alternately, can I use PCDOS 7.0 socket services on the W95 version of DOS? Thanks, David R.

I now know that to use it successfully, you must have an "IBM" approved CD. If you don't have a unit that their software recognizes, even though it works in normal configuration, you may be in for an unpleasant surprise AFTER you reformat the hard drive. Neither my Addonics CD running off the parallel port nor a Quick-CD using the PCMCIA slot was recognized by the installation software which came with the recovery CD. Also others may know, but I didn't until yesterday, Thinkpads don't like IE 4.0. They think it caused my machine to crash and even after 3 hours or so with their tech support it appears that nothing short of rebuilding the drive from scratch will help.

The cat's tounge trackpoint cap I got from IBM's EasyServe started flaking after only a couple of weeks. I went back to a smooth one, but that got cruddy after two weeks, so now I'm constantly rejuvinating my original cat's tounges in an ultrasonic cleaner. Doesn't clean it all the way, but definitely better than nothing or rubbing it on a pant-leg... By the way, on the other thread: low amounts of free disk space definitely do slow down OSs a lot. Just from experience. It also makes defragging futile since there's no room to maneuver. Are the larger harddrives by toshiba, etc., also faster than the original IBM 340 or 540 MB HDs used in the 701s? axel From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Thu Dec 11 10:44:46 1997 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA025205085; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 10:44:45 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA22479; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 10:03:31 -0500 (EST) Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Thu, 11 Dec 1997 10:01:18 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA22274; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 10:01:17 -0500 (EST) Received: from mail.airmail.net (mail.airmail.net [206.66.12.40]) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA22261; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 10:01:13 -0500 (EST) Received: from mail.airmail.net from [204.251.28.51] by mail.airmail.net (/\##/\ Smail3.1.30.16 #30.216) with smtp for id ; Thu, 11 Dec 97 09:35:53 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: To: Thinkpad List Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Post Road Mailer for OS/2 (Green Edition Ver 3.0) Date: Thu, 11 Dec 1997 09:35:52 CST From: "Mark O.

The I.E. 4.0 problem is not a thinkpad problem. It is an IE problem. If you don't have the "correct" release of Win95 that it expects it can and does cause major problems. My ISP has sent a warning to all users. I didn't pay much attention.

I got a big surprise the other day: I was working on someone's Toshiba notebook and, for reasons I won't go into, had to partition his drive into two, using Partition Magic. When I was done, I re-joined the partitions into one, exactly the same as the original, but, due to dropping the cluster size from 32 Kbytes to 4 Kbytes, he recovered, on a 1.3 Gb. drive (FAT-32), 200 MEGABYTES. I was suitably impressed. Yes, that will make access of larger files slightly slower, and no, it won't have that big an impact if you have mostly large-ish files, but 200 Mb for "free" is something I won't toss aside lightly.

Though perhaps it might start showing up at discounters now (I bought my 4x fairly inexpensively this way). I'm not terribly surprised to hear that the preload won't work on my unit; as I've posted here before, IBM seems to have the philosophy that any option, once superceded, is not worthy of further notice, and in fact should be expunged from discussion ASAP. Fortunately, they haven't applied this philosophy to the computers themselves. Yet. - David From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Thu Dec 11 18:44:20 1997 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA122543860; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 18:44:20 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id SAA20669; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 18:01:13 -0500 (EST) Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Thu, 11 Dec 1997 18:00:43 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id SAA20572; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 18:00:42 -0500 (EST) Received: from math.hawaii.edu (math.hawaii.edu [128.171.50.21]) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id SAA20559; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 18:00:32 -0500 (EST) Received: from tarski.math.hawaii.edu by math.hawaii.edu (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id NAA10530; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 13:39:09 -1000 Received: by tarski.math.hawaii.edu (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id NAA29180; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 13:42:20 -1000 From: ross@math.hawaii.edu (David Ross) Message-Id: <199712112342.NAA29180@tarski.math.hawaii.edu> Subject: [TPall] Re: Trackpoint caps (and mice) To: nnj@ornl.gov Pall]Re:Trackpoint cap (Nathan L.

The problem i have is that it would not boot to the C: drive. I get the error message telling me to reseat the boot device. First I flashed the BIOS with the provided disk and everything went O.K. THen I installed DOS 6.22 and everything went fine. But on restarting the machine (750c) It tells me to reseat the boot device. I checked it several times and the best I can tell is that its in. I put the old HD in and it works like a charm. I checked the BIOs settings and they show the boot sequence as a: c: ( as it should be). I did RTFM that came with the HD and it refers to the users manual for installing the HD (which I don't have) I have a tech manual and it gave no new clues. Anyone got suggestions??? Thanks Linn Skipper askipper@ftc-i.net P.S. If anyone wants a tech manual for the 340x, 355x, 360x, 370x, 700x, 701x, 720x, 750x, and 755x, i know a guy that has some more.

Has anyone looked into prices/availability on NiMH batteries and the ac adaptor/charger with the movable plug? A second question from a pal who says his 701C/24 meg finds the trackpoint arrow frozen when reopening the screen after having suspended (close lid).

IBM charges like $5 for three, and will charge a flat rate on shipping, kinda dumb to spend like $7.50 for shipping! I bought a bunch (like 5 packs) and I rarely seem to change them, like once every 6 months. BTW: The new IBM Trackpoint mouse is nice. I like it better than the MS cl*t mouse. The Trackpoint III there however is a ROUND stud. So your Thinkpad caps won't work on it. Only one spare given with the $60 mouse, and the cap is violet...how pretty....as the mouse's stud and cap is a bit smaller than the Thinkpad's, I wonder if that will be the new incantation.

A couple of companies (e.g., www.powerit.com) sell outboard batteries for laptops (i.e., batteries which can run your laptop for many hours). However, they are kind of pricey. In the VCR/camcorder world, there are several companies that make 12 volt power packs for camcorders at a decent price. For example, Bescor makes a pack that weights under 3 pounds, comes in a shoulder pack, has an auto cigar lighter output, and produces 3 amp hours at 12 volts for less that $40, and a 5.5 pounder with 7.2 amp hours for about $45. (Compare to the TP560 battery, which is 2.2 amp hours.) It seems to me it *should* be possible to hook one of these to the TP using the auto adapter, and get lots of extra time (perhaps some lost to inefficiency of the connection). So, my question is: Has anyone tried this? If not, can anyone who knows more about such things than I comment on the plan? BTW, I would just go ahead and try if I already had the auto adaptor for my TP, since the battery is so cheap, but I hate to buy the adaptor for the experiment. - David From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Sat Dec 13 21:56:24 1997 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA061178183; Sat, 13 Dec 1997 21:56:23 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id VAA08456; Sat, 13 Dec 1997 21:55:27 -0500 (EST) Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Sat, 13 Dec 1997 21:49:01 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id VAA08196; Sat, 13 Dec 1997 21:49:00 -0500 (EST) Received: from ritchie.loop.com (ritchie-inet.loop.com [207.211.60.70]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id VAA08184; Sat, 13 Dec 1997 21:48:55 -0500 (EST) Received: from p24.hwts11.loop.net (p24.hwts11.loop.net [207.211.62.129]) by ritchie.loop.com (8.8.6/8.8.6) with SMTP id SAA29344; Sat, 13 Dec 1997 18:43:56 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199712140243.SAA29344@ritchie.loop.com> From: "Paul Khoury" To: "ThinkPad List" , "David Ross" Date: Sat, 13 Dec 97 18:38:55 Reply-To: "Paul Khoury" Priority: Normal X-Mailer: PMMail 1.95a For OS/2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Re: [TPall] big outboard batteries (was: 701 chargers...)

Paul, I think you miss the point. I don't intend to plug the battery straight into the power jack on the laptop - this would certainly not work (since the TP wants 16 volts).

There's some thread which isn't shutting down properly when you go into suspend. The most common cause of this is running IE4, the second is not having the most current BIOS revision. Check to see which programs are running before you try to suspend, and eliminate them one by one until you don't have the problem. Two more suggestions: try to suspend from the start/suspend button instead of the TP hardware button (this does a better job of resolving W95 threads before suspension), and/or try to suspend from the DOS PS/2 program (which you probably wiped before installing W95, but should find and reinsall). BTW, before changing from 701 to my 560 I was running OSR2 w/no problem. - David > > My recent upgrade to OSR2 did not go as smoothly as I had hoped.

Okay, I suppose you might be able to try it, but I don't know how long the battery will last, though, since I'd imagine that the ThinkPad needs a fair amount of power, since it might also need to recharge the battery as well.

Problems normally turn out to be caused by the X11R6 configuration, namely by the graphics chip. In this case, IBM chose to use the Trident CYBER9397 (http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/products/thinkpad/5fb6_11da.html). Chances are that it would work with the existing SVGA server but YMMV.

NT seemed a more complex and unwieldy program which needs a lot of resources to operate. If memory serves, the supposed advantages are increased stability (this does not seem to be the case), security (which seems a proxy for "users have a hard time running unauthorized programs") and file system. Disadvantages include driver and power management support which is not as good as win95. Is this right?

Normally you'd think this is a mouse driver problem. But the 701 uses a hardware mouse - Windows only reports the mouse position to the video card, the card draws the mouse. So what could be happening is the graphic of the mouse is not being redrawn after a resume, even though the pointer is really there. Try "moving" the mouse around and clicking to bring up a menu or highlight something. I've often gotten past this problem in Win3.1 by slowly "moving" the mouse past a frame or something that changes the shape of the mouse pointer. This seems to refresh the mouse pointer graphic, making it visible again. Dunno if an updated video driver will help. -- John H.

Yes and no; early versions of doublespace (like the one with OSR1, like you have) had some problems (though are still safer than FAT32). If you can get the later version (i.e., with Plus!, or the even later version off someone's OSR2 CD - it might even be available at the MS web site, though somehow I doubt it), this is quite stable.

Not noticeable with a fast processor. Remember that disk-access rates are the main bottleneck nowadays, especially on laptops; the fact that a compressed file takes less time to squirt through this bottleneck than the uncompressed version often more than makes up for the CPU load in decompression. I think there is some degradation on files which require lots of seeks (as opposed to sequential reads). BTW, it helps to defrag often, even when only 1 or 2% fragmentation is reported (1% of a gigabyte could be your whole app+data!). - David From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Mon Dec 15 16:21:56 1997 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA224570916; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 16:21:56 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id QAA03551; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 16:20:26 -0500 (EST) Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Mon, 15 Dec 1997 16:18:27 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id QAA03233; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 16:18:26 -0500 (EST) Received: from docws007.shl.com (docws007.shl.com [159.249.56.7]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id QAA03216; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 16:17:57 -0500 (EST) Received: from ottmsooc02.ooc.shl.com (ottmsooc02.ooc.shl.com [159.249.112.25]) by docws007.shl.com (8.8.6/8.7.3) with SMTP id PAA05240 for ; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 15:19:21 -0600 Received: by ottmsooc02.ooc.shl.com with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Connector Version 4.0.994.63) id <01BD0975.9E0B0D70@ottmsooc02.ooc.shl.com>; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 16:22:20 -0500 Message-Id: From: "TROTTIER, Tom" To: "jseabolt@preferred.com" , "ross@math.hawaii.edu" Cc: "thinkpad@CS.UTK.EDU" Subject: RE: [TP340] Re: Thinkpad 340 questions Date: Mon, 15 Dec 1997 13:07:17 -0500 X-Mailer: Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Connector Version 4.0.994.63 Encoding: 79 TEXT Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu I have a 340 with 8 Mb total running w95.

Yipee!! Now. Anybody out there have one of these? I don't know what some of the function keys are for as I don't have the documentation. Also, could somebody tell me how to enter the CMOS setup? Tried Ctrl+Alt+S, which works on Phoenix and/or some flavors of Award BIOS. Tried F10 which works on Compaqs and I seem to recall some PS/2s, but nothing happened. For those who might be interested, I took it all apart (down to the point that there wasn't a THING in the case) and thought I'd share what I found. I was hoping the DX2/66 CPU would be socketed so I could put an AMD 5x86 in it but no such luck. Here's what I didn't know and what I couldn't find on IBM's web page or >from anybody on the web: 1. As stated, the CPU is surface mounted. I know that there IS an upgrade module for it (for $300! yowee!). Anybody have any experience with these upgrade modules? Does somebody actually resoulder a 5x86 CPU on the motherboard, or what? 2. The hard disk, floppy disk and battery are all accessible by lifting the keyboard at the front of the unit. Hard disk pulls straight out. I was worried that it was proprietary (meaning an expensive HD upgrade) but it turns out that IBM just used a proprietary cabinet and inside is a standard 2.5 " laptop hard disk. Cool. 3. This thing has the 8MB memory upgrade card and it's for the 700 series notebooks, so it looks like memory is interchangable between the two. 4. If you ever want to see the CPU in your 360PE have fun. It's about as burried in the system as it could possibly be. 5. Components: The following systems are simple, removable components, meaning if you had to replace it you could do it yourself (and it wouldn't require a new motherboard): PCMCIA units, floppy, hard disk, battery, CMOS battery (and some other kind of cmos battery, perhaps for the standby stuff?), AC --> DC converter unit, and sound unit. Everything else is on the system board. Well, that's everything I learned. Hopefully someone will benefit from me typing all of this...and maybe I'll get a couple answers too :) From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Tue Dec 16 00:25:31 1997 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA144359930; Tue, 16 Dec 1997 00:25:30 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id AAA27203; Tue, 16 Dec 1997 00:22:58 -0500 (EST) Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Tue, 16 Dec 1997 00:20:22 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id AAA26862; Tue, 16 Dec 1997 00:20:21 -0500 (EST) Received: from stevie.loop.com (stevie-inet.loop.com [207.211.60.71]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id AAA26838; Tue, 16 Dec 1997 00:20:16 -0500 (EST) Received: from p12.hwts15.loop.net (p12.hwts15.loop.net [207.211.62.237]) by stevie.loop.com (8.8.6/8.8.6) with SMTP id VAA09449; Mon, 15 Dec 1997 21:18:40 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199712160518.VAA09449@stevie.loop.com> From: "Paul Khoury" To: "richard" Cc: "David Ross" , "thinkpad@cs.utk.edu" Date: Mon, 15 Dec 97 21:09:26 Reply-To: "Paul Khoury" Priority: Normal X-Mailer: PMMail 1.95a For OS/2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Re: [TP560] Re: osr2 on 560 Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu On Mon, 15 Dec 1997 07:24:57 -0500, richard wrote: >On Sun, 14 Dec 97 20:46:30 , "Paul Khoury" wrote: > >>If you're really worried about fragmentation and cluster size, you might consider >>OS/2, or Linux, with the HPFS and EXT2 file systems, respectively. > >As far as I know, neither OS/2 nor Linux runs Microsoft Word 97 or a few other >programs I need for work > >>And I think NT has controllable cluster size, too. > >I think you're right.

If you need driver and power management, and controllable cluster size, consider Linux or OS/2. Both have those abilities, plus they are networkable, have been around for a LONG time (at least regular UNIX has!), and there is good APM support for both OS/2 since 2.1, and also Linux. There are also other good things about it, but I will explain later.

I've seen this a lot on modems because the discovery of them is = tricky, and 95 checks for new ones on every boot of the OS. When it = "finds" one, you may not even notice. Try this procedure, specifically: Start--->Settings--->Control Panel---->System-->Device Manger-->Modems Verify your modem is there and only once. Sometimes discovery = dupliation causes two modems to appear here. If not goto step B. If there are two modems, (usually one has a red X through it), write = down the manufacture and model, delete them both and restart your = laptop. Win95 will usually discover just one now. Note: This also = happens when multiple, similiar versions of the same modem driver are = installed in \windows\inf. You should track this down, because it will = probably happen again. If restarting discovers nothing, search for new hardware, as in: Start-->Settings-->Control Panel-->Add New hardware.

Step B: My Computer-->DialUpNetworking-->FailingConnectionName(right = click)-->Properties-->Configure modem This will verify your modem is properly associated with the (failing) = connection .

Oh, and on my PE Fn+F5=volume up and Fn+F6=volume down. > With standby, the machine is still on, but the processor speed is reduced, and the LCD shuts off. On suspend, the memory is backed up by battery, and the machine "sort of" powers down, only resumeable by the Fn key. On the 355 or 360, it should beep every time you suspend or resume from suspend or hibernation. With hibernation, the machine saves the RAM and Video RAM to a file on the HD, and powers off. When you power on again, the machine resumes to where you left off. From what I mentioned (in that order, that is), you resume the quickest, but conserve the least power. And again, that's in order of those mentioned. Hopefully this will give you a better understanding of the differences.

I agree with that. OS/2 might be easier to use, however, and if the modem supports it, you can give it any available IRQ for more COM ports and modems. For example, under OS/2 Warp 4 I can give my Home & Away modem IRQ 11 for COM3, which is something I doubt you can do under 95. And this "plug and play" has always been an inconvience for me anyways. One of the reasons I took 95 off my ThinkPad, anyways!

If it is about the same thickness but a bit longer then it probably fits the 760 or the dock I or II. If it is either of these and you can't use it, I could.

Does the hard drive password still work with a Toshiba drive? Finally, someone said something about bridging or cutting pins on a Toshiba drive to get it to work. Is that necessary?

A question about Socket Servives on OS/2 (Warp v4 on a TP760ED): On OS/2, there are 2 drivers for Socket Services: IBM2SS04.SYS is for R2-PCIC (whatever that means) IBM2SS14.SYS is for CardBus OS/2's online help tells me that "/s0=1" can be specified as a parameter in order to make the driver believe that there is only one socket to support. Same should be with "/s0=2 /IG0=2". I need this for my Xircom CreditCard Ethernet 10/100. It has a direct enabler and thus only works when it has its own slot without socket services. With /s0=1 specified, the Xircom in Socket 2 should not be touched by Socket Servies. However, it doesn't work here. I don't know exactly which of the two drivers needs the parameter, so I tried all 3 possibilities (IBM2SS04, IBM2SS14 or both) with a 3com 3c589d inserted in socket 2 (and my Adaptec 1460 in socket 1). I thought that the 3com won't work when I found the right choice. But it worked. In any case, "Plug and Play for PCMCIA" detected 2 sockets. So I replaced the 3com with the Xircom. With choice 1 (IBM2SS04), it stopped booting when loading the Xircom driver. Same with choice 2 (IBM2SS14) and 3. rem-ing out IBM2SS14 makes the Xircom work, but then the Adaptec driver fails to load. rem-ing out IBM2SS04 makes the Adaptec work, but not the Xircom. Now, is there any way to have a PnP Card in one Socket and a card with direct enabler in the other?

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu I have a Thinkpad 701C with A 360M HD. Unfortunatly Linux deserves a little more than the 100M I've partitianed for it so I'm considering upgrading the hard drive. I've seen some reasonably priced 2.5" drives (Specifically Maxtor's 251010 1.0G) and I'm wondering if these can be installed into the caddy. The connector on the caddy that makes contact with the inside of the TP701 isn't a standard IDE connector. (some of epbrowns helpful posts suggested that the caddy might be a PCMCIA-IDE adapter.) So I'm wondering if the other end of the flat Printed Circuit cable (inside the caddy) has an IDE connector that will work on any 12.5mm IDE hard drive. It's hard to imagine there is any room in there for a normal IDE connector. Has anyone successfully upgraded the hard drive? What brands/models work, do any of them come with caddys? Are blank HD caddys still available for this machine? (I'd rather not take this one apart.) Has anyone tried the Maxtor 251010 (12.7mm) hard drive? I appreciate any help you can provide on this subject. Thanks.

Does the hard drive password still work with a Toshiba drive? Finally, someone said something about bridging or cutting pins on a Toshiba drive to get it to work. Is that necessary?

At one point I cut the computer off and when it booted up the display was black but not like the computer was turned off. It's really hard to describe. It had a tint to it but I couldn't see any objects or anything. It's as if you cut the brightness and contrast all the way down. I started fooling with the brightness and contrast adjustments but this had no effect on the LCD. After Windows 95 stopped booting I cut the computer off. Then I turned it back on. This time the LCD worked but there were these horizontal lines going up the screen. After 3 or 4 minutes the lines stopped and the screen looked normal. I'm curious, does this mean the monochrome display is going out? Or possibly the video driver? Could this just be a fluke or soemthing? What would cause this to happen?

Sometimes my testbench LCD does that, which is a mono LCD connected to an ISA card. It happens when the cable is loose. On average, I'd say a mono LCD costs about $25-500, depending on where you get it, especially if you get it from overpriced IBM's stock.

I just bought a 40MB PCMCIA III hard disk (mainly because I've had no experience with PCMCIA and now wonder if I want to :) It's a Western Digital drive. It plugs into slot 2 (no other options). When I run EZPLAY (this is a PC DOS 7 system with PenDos) it identifies the card, but I think incorrectly. Here's what the first screen looks like: Socket Information No. Status Card Type Card Information 1 Empty 2 Ready Memory E: 3 Empty 4 Empty It looks like it thinks it's an SRAM card to me, but I don't know. When I enter the detail screen it says "Write Protect: Yes" Huh? If I try to F9/Init the drive it returns "Initialization error has occurred!". Any ideas on this? Should I also have some kind of driver for the drive itself? I'm just using the latest PCMCIA services disk I got from ibm.com. Oh, and I've already checked and it DOES have the most recent BIOS.

I called Western Digital because I was thinking of getting the same thing for my 701 to use with OS/2. They said it only works with Windows 3.1, and maybe DOS, and that they discontinued it because of it's various problems. Normally, PCMCIA isn't that hard to configure, and personally I find them easier than some ISA cards to configure, especially where I can give nonstandard I/O and IRQs, so they don't conflict. You might want to opt for a ZIP drive if you need large removable storage medium. Good luck!

Make sure that you have the latest BIOS revision for your machine, as this problem was fixed by an earlier revision this year. On another note, a company called Active Components has some decent prices on hard drives with caddies for Thinkpads. They have an IBM 19mm 1.2 GB drive in an aftermarket caddy for $189, and an IBM 12.5mm 1.08 GB drive in an IBM caddy for the 760 for $159. I ordered the 1.08 drive and it seems fine, although the IBM seal had been broken on the box. Other capacities and manufacturers are available. I don't have their web address with me at the moment, but their number is 1-719-477-1862. If anyone wants their web address then e-mail me and I will find it for you.

This note is probably old news but the other day I was in "Big Lots" which sells allot of closeout merchandise. On a carousel I found a neat little mouse made by a company called "Fellows". It's not black (4 different colors) but is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. I had to take it apart and straighten one of the tabs on the "right click" button (Made in China) but it works great with the Thinkpad and is small enough to look like it was made for it.

There's this low-key whir, sorta like the sound a vacuum cleaner makes when it sucks up a patch of dirt, then goes over a clean, smooth bit, then hits a dirty patch again. Very steady, mild, cyclical vibration that maybe was always there, but seems louder somehow. The unit has never been totally silent, and I'm not sure what to make of this. I think there's time left on the warranty (it was built 1/96). I'm the second owner. Have never used EZ-Serve, though I've read lots about it (good and bad) off this list... Any thoughts on my best move? Another issue: I have a screen saver (3D pipes) set to kick in after 1 minute. With the ac adaptor plugged in, the screen saver stops after a minute or two, and the screen turns black. When I tap the eraser cap, the screen saver returns. Is this normal behavior? If it matters, I'm running Win95 w/24 megs of ram. Thanks in advance.

The eject and insertion of cd's is done manually, it's not a motorized tray or anything. When the cd is playing or reading after that there is no vibrations, just a slight whirring sound that you would expect to hear.

But now I have the TP 770 with a 14.1" screen. An excellent machine. I have two glitches so far, neither disastrous. First, sometimes the screen disappears, and won't come back. This seems to be related to the power management, and in fact since I turned Presentation Mode on, it has not hapenned again, although I still see it if (under OS/2), I try to hot swap between the floppy and the CD ROM in suspend mode. Certainly something that I can live with. Second, every now and then, the trackpoint-4 registers an unexplained event as though the left mouse button had been pressed when it has not. Again, slightly irritating, but managable. One quick note on the 770, the floppy is unusual in that it can run either in the Ultra-Bay or outside it *without an extra case*. This was not clear to me at first, until I called up to ask how to install OS/2 (incidentally, there are a good set of instructions for installing OS/2 available from IBM, but annoyingly left out of the online instruction book -- which has a section on OS/2 installation that is incomplete). I have 160meg memory installed, and my first battery outing gave 2 hrs 55 mins on each of two batteries. This is in full power mode, but with the screen in normal, not high mode. Actually I usually find that I do not operate the screen in its brightest mode in most settings. This is a very bright screen, *too* bright at its maximum setting most of the time (but of course the extra brightness is VERY welcome in high intensity ambient light situations). One extra thing. No one at IBM knew if extra batteries came with the necessary gizmo for putting them in the Ultrabay, but the answer is that they definitely do! (it is a pity you cannot get higher capacity batteries that would fit only in the right hand bay, but anyway, 3 hours is not bad). By the way, the surround sound (done by creating a 3D sound field with two speakers, presumably by clever phasing) is very impressive. I have Zork Nemesis installed, and people sit in front of the machine and start looking around for speakers, since it is hard to believe that the non-directional effects are coming from the speakers in front of you. The sound is *worlds* ahead of the (rather tiny and tinny) speakers on the Tecra 740. The keyboard is excellent, my only (minor) complaint is that it is very quiet except if you hit the space bar other than in the center, which makes a slight clack. The trackpoint-4 is nice, the push to select is very useful (although I wonder if it is the source of my phantom button pushes, interesting thought, I will disable it and see). I find the scrolling button of limited use and would prefer to make the big button below the keyboard be the left button, I guess this could be accomplished easily enough by hackin the driver, mabe someone will do that. All in all, a VERY nice machine, a useful step up from my Tecra 740 (incidentally, as always, you get a fantastic deal by buying behind the bleeding edge, I have seen Tecra 740's advertised as low as $2499, which is a VERY good buy).

Odd, well. It is the "standard" SCSI-1 cable connector IBM used with all their smaller machines, PCs and RS/6000. IBM also has cables which have this connector at one end and a standard 50pin Centronics at the other. They are quite old-fashioned, though.

You will have to make a tradeoff between color depth and pixel resolution. In your case, the Cyber9320 graphics chip can only deliver 16bpp I believe.

My 701 hinge is stiff and squeaks. What is the approved method and material? While I'm at it what is the procedure for keyboard service. In both cases I am concerned as I don't want to affect my warranty. Has anyone asked IBM? I did ask them a while back about the mushy feel of the left Trackpoint button and their response was that it might be failing and I could send it in for service...they didn't recommend a cleaning method but I didn't think to ask at the time.

Mitchell ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: 701c noise & screen saver questions Author: Peter Lewis at Internet Date: 12/22/97 10:14 PM Seems like my 701c is getting noisier. There's this low-key whir, sorta like the sound a vacuum cleaner makes when it sucks up a patch of dirt, then goes over a clean, smooth bit, then hits a dirty patch again. Very steady, mild, cyclical vibration that maybe was always there, but seems louder somehow. The unit has never been totally silent, and I'm not sure what to make of this. I think there's time left on the warranty (it was built 1/96). I'm the second owner. Have never used EZ-Serve, though I've read lots about it (good and bad) off this list... Any thoughts on my best move? Another issue: I have a screen saver (3D pipes) set to kick in after 1 minute. With the ac adaptor plugged in, the screen saver stops after a minute or two, and the screen turns black. When I tap the eraser cap, the screen saver returns. Is this normal behavior? If it matters, I'm running Win95 w/24 megs of ram. Thanks in advance.

My name is Jim Michael and I have a TP 380D which I bought primarily for writing programs and keeping up with web/email while traveling. It is running Win95 on 16 MB at the moment but I plan to install another 32MB sometime soon. The only toy I have bought for it so far is a DeLorme Tripmate GPS with the Street Atlas 5.0 software. I like the 380D, the tactile response of the keyboard and extended wrist rest make a great combination for programmers.

If you meant the Centronics connect, personally I favor that over the 50 pin HD, because of cost, ease of use, and it's just plain better. Just my 2 cents.

I can't seem to get the browser part of my AT&T software loaded. I keep getting a variety of I/O error messages that seem to pop up under a variety of conditions. When I'm not getting those the install simply hangs on a file. The most maddening part was that one time I got it to disk 5 of 5 and 99% loaded before it hung. It seemed to be a faulty floppy drive and IBM agreed with me and sent out a replacement: No Joy! with either the original AT&T software disks or replacements that they sent me. So I tried installing it from their CD-ROM through the PCMCIA, but the machine keeps telling me that the disk is not ready. Has any of you out there experienced similar problems loading software? I'd be happy to try just about anything at this stage. I bought the machine largely to check email on the road. Stanley K.

Has it been fixed? I'm thinking of getting a similar model as you have, the specs are: Thinkpad 560-FNE Pentium 133 mhz 8 mb Ram (max 40mb) 1.08 Gb HDD / 1.44 Ext. FDD 2 PCMCIA type II 16 bit stereo sound card 12.1" TFT SVGA color Win95 Weight: 1.86kg FREE: add. 8 mb Ram Do you have any tips on how to check if it has the same screen defect? Saw your review on the 560 at your web site ( hey, have you disabled the links? can't see it anymore). I have 2 questions: 1. Can you connect to an external keyboard, mouse and monitor at the same time? 2. Would you say the performance is comparable to a Desktop Pentium 60 mhz? (just wanted to know what kind of performance trade-off I have to live with, in exchange for the portability) Many thanks in advance.

(Boy, I kind of like the old pen services better...kind of miss the gestures and so forth). I still have a problem with the video, though. I believe the video card has 1MB, but the only drivers I could find for it (on ibm.com) is a DOS TSR (VESA.EXE) that you load either in config.sys or autoexec.bat. When I load it, I can see 256 colors at 640x480, but MAN is it slow! The whole system lugs along when in 256 color mode. It is so slow that it really makes the pen functionality useless. If I drop back to the native Win95 drivers (16 color...sigh) then the pen runs fast enough to be acceptable. I'm sure this is because the drivers are real mode. Has anyone out there found a better Western Digital driver for this model than the ones offered on ibm.com? I wonder if microsoft.com would have better drivers? I consider 256 colors to be a minimum for any kind of functionality (I don't play games on this machine, but 16 colors is just too limiting), but I can't stand the slow down! Also, has anyone out there heard if Win98 is going to have pen extensions? I wonder if I'll be able to upgrade to that OS when the time comes???

Is this the original battery that came with the machine? That would make it about 4 years old--maybe more. I think its a safe bet to presume its outlived its useful life in that period of time.

I just bought a starter TP360PE for my sister-in-law and had two questions that maybe some of you might help me with in between wrapping presents! 1. Can the pen features be enabled under Win 95? She's an artist. 2. Has anyone changed the hard drive? It's in a modular caddie under the keyboard. I'd like to put it a 1 gig Fujitsu I have but thought I'd get some advice first on taking the caddie apart. BTW...I got it at Computer Renaissance for $699 in Boca Raton, Fla. Not the best deal ever but if anyone is looking for this model, they have 10 in "as new" condition with 20 megs of RAM.

Well, get a load of this - I heard that they made a Pentium 50 (!) during development, and might have actually come out with out. Talk about one slow Pentium.

My experience with my 750P are Are you teasing me? Your experience with your 750P are WHAAAT? :) Well, as I said, I have everything working. I've just finished spending a couple MORE hours trying to find native Win95 drivers for the WD90C24 chipset (video). This notebook has 1MB RAM, so it shouldn't have any problems showing 256 colors, but the native Win95 drivers only work correctly in 16 color mode. You have to load an external driver called VESA.EXE (which you can get from Western Digital and ibm.com and probably other places). VESA.EXE is a DOS TSR, so it's a 16-bit thunk and is s-l-o-w! The 256 colors works fine, including animated cursors and that sort of thing, but it's just so slow it all but defeats the pen features. For example, if you open Paint and start drawing circles with the freehand tool, they don't come out as circles but instead are more like connected lines. If you move reeaaaaaly slow, you'll get circles, but who wants to do that? This isn't a problem if you unload VESA.EXE and run it in 16-color mode, but then who wants to run in 16-colors? I've checked Western Digital and all I could find was the VESA.EXE extensions. There's Win 3.x, Win NT 3.x and DOS drivers. Nothing else appears to be out there. It appears the VESA extensions aren't loaded in the notebook version of the bios, so you have to load this external VESA driver. There IS a commercial package out there (forget the name, but it's something I ran into while messing with all of this) and it supposedly DOES support the chipset. However, after installing it, I still couldn't get it to do more than 16 colors without VESA.EXE. > > Also, has anyone out there heard if Win98 is going to have pen > > extensions?

I think I remember hearing that Pen > Services 2.0 was almost killed before Win95 was released. Really? Well, that's too bad. I've noticed that Windows CE has pen services and don't know how they compare to, say, the capabilities and accuracy of the Newton, but I actually liked Pen 1.0 better than 2.0 anyway. Only problem is, all of this really dates the system! I'll bet you can run Win98 just fine on the 360 and probably 750 if you're willing to give up the pen, but that's the whole point! :) From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Sat Dec 27 07:47:43 1997 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA148186862; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 07:47:42 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id HAA02212; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 07:47:24 -0500 (EST) Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Sat, 27 Dec 1997 07:46:23 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id HAA02101; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 07:46:22 -0500 (EST) Received: from smtp1.teleport.com (smtp1.teleport.com [192.108.254.21]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id HAA02089; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 07:46:17 -0500 (EST) Received: from user2.teleport.com (usertest.teleport.com [192.108.254.19]) by smtp1.teleport.com (8.8.7/8.7.3) with ESMTP id EAA02087; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 04:46:16 -0800 (PST) Received: (from pccare@localhost) by user2.teleport.com (8.8.7/8.8.4) id EAA25839; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 04:46:15 -0800 (PST) Date: Sat, 27 Dec 1997 04:46:15 -0800 (PST) From: Patrick West To: Paul Khoury Cc: ThinkPad List Subject: Re: Quick question In-Reply-To: <199712270536.VAA01364@ritchie.loop.com> Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu Paul, I have a TP360 CSE running Warp 3.0 red box. I looked at running Warp 4.0 Merlin GA as I do on my desktop. Warp 3 was my choice because of the lower system requirements, and the lack of default networking. I use NPS and I dug out my old Lotus SmartCenter so the basic look and feel are similar. I am not running SmartSuite 96 on it. I have the old OS/2 freelance & 123 from the old Smartsuite.

I haven't researched this, but I was under the impression that the VESA TSR just provides some extensions so that the WD driver knows how to set up the video mode. I don't think it's actually used by the driver after initialization. In any case, I used it for a couple of years on a 360Cs and found the 256 colour performance to be perfectly adequate. My guess was that it's the pen extensions (in particular the inking code) that is the problem. I presume it's optimized for the VGA 4bbp palette, since that would be the most common. Not many Pen devices support 8 bit colour. > Only problem is, all of this really dates the system!

It ran, although it was pretty slow. (This is with 36 megs of memory, too). I think that the quoted minimum for Win98 is going to be a 486 DX2/66, though. tim From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Sat Dec 27 11:25:05 1997 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA234779904; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 11:25:04 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id LAA05390; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 11:24:34 -0500 (EST) Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Sat, 27 Dec 1997 11:23:23 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id LAA05170; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 11:23:22 -0500 (EST) Received: from dogmead.dogmead.com (dogmead.dogmead.com [198.73.240.1]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id LAA05120; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 11:23:08 -0500 (EST) Received: (from tim@localhost) by dogmead.dogmead.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) id QAA14971; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 16:23:00 GMT From: Tim Tyhurst Message-Id: <199712271623.QAA14971@dogmead.dogmead.com> Subject: Re: Quick question To: pkhoury@loop.com Date: Sat, 27 Dec 1997 11:23:00 -0500 (EST) Cc: thinkpad@cs.utk.edu In-Reply-To: <199712270537.VAA01371@ritchie.loop.com> from "Paul Khoury" at Dec 26, 97 09:43:44 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu > Does anyone here have either a ThinkPad 360PE or 360CE running > OS/2?

You could be correct about VESA. From what I could tell (from what it sounded like on the old Paradise site) is that the notebook versions of the Western Digital WD90C24 chip (and similar models) does not have VESA in BIOS as they do in desktop computers. So I was thinking it was a plug-in BIOS code of some kind. What is happening with that bios code is anybody's guess. > My guess was that it's the pen extensions (in particular the inking code) > that is the problem.

That occurred to me when I first started noticing the speed problem. There's clearly a lot more "crud" with pen 2.0 than in 1.0 and it could very well be a dog. But the pen speed is perfectly acceptable in 16-color mode which is why I lean towards suspecting video. And the palette?

Did you have the pen services working too? I wonder if Windows 95 drivers are going to be compatible with Win98? I guess that as long as Win32 doesn't change it doesn't REALLY matter if I have Win98 or not. I do want to be able to run 32-bit software, but don't care if it's the latest OS or not. Oh, and as my TP only has 12 MB and tops out at 20, if yours was slow with 36MB (wow!) then I bettery shy away from it. I also just tried installing the old Win31 video drivers (that's pretty ugly and would involve the same thunking, but I thought maybe it would speed things up a bit). Still required VESA.EXE. Sigh... Oh, and one other thing. Have you tried installing Pen Services 1.0 on Win95? (smile). I really liked it better! Might not be quite as intuitive at first, but once you learned the gestures it worked well and got out of your way. The whole pen thing is kind of interesting. I would have never even bothered with it had I not ran across an old Grid 2050 and played around with it for a while. I didn't think I'd like the pen, but it turns out to be a nice additional component (I still like having the keyboard). Having discovered this, it seems to me that the pen wasn't marketed well enough on the pc. I think everybody would find it useful for certain tasks. Thanks for all your feeback...

Do a DejaNews search for "Home & Away" in comp.sys.laptops; this question has come up before. The answer is yes, the card can work under OSR2 but you have to replace the Windows\System files CARDDRV.EXE, CSMAPPER.SYS, FLS1MTD.VXD, FLS2MTD.VXD, PCCARD.VXD, SOCKETSV.VXD, and SRAMMTD.VXD with the same files from the original release of Windows 95. Microsoft changed the PC card support under OSR2 in a way that broke IBM's unsupported Windows 95 driver and the only way to get the card to work is to revert these Microsoft files to their original versions. The rest of OSR2 doesn't seem to suffer any side effects as a result of replacing these files.

What kind of phone cord do you plug into an xjack modem on the bottom slot that would allow ANY pc card to fit into the top slot of a 701? Not the standard RJ11. Not on my 701.

The latest drivers will delete your current Mwave installation and then install the latest from diskette. I tried to copy the drivers onto the hard disk and load from there but never succeeded. It looks for the diskette in the A: drive when it reboots your computer. However, the MIDI files can be all copied to a single subdirectory and loaded >from the hard disk. Hope this helps.

But does this happen at all while you are using the machine, other than when it starts up? If it happens intermitently, it could be a cable problem. Sometimes I have problems with my 701, where the whole screen will dim down or up, and I press the display bezel because of the loose cable, but active matrix displays are different. My guess would be a loose cable.

The only caveat about the TFT is that it's more expensive (duh), and 1 inch smaller (8.4") than the DSTN or mono (9.4" for both).

That has >always been my impression, other than convience. Nope, I've mistakenly stood up with an x-jack still connected, and it's pulled the card from the laptop without hurting the jack. In fact, I've had two problems with these in about 3 years, both resulting in the modem replaced for free: My PPI (now in a friend's possession) had the little copper wires that connect to the phone break. This was apparently common for my model at the time, and Practical Peripherals fixed it without batting an eye. Later, the jack in the modem wouldn't stay in, about a year later. Worked fine, just would always stick out. I only sent it in because at the time, my model was too old for the downloadable upgrade to 33.6. They replaced it again, and the replacement was made later so I could perform the flash. The USR/Mhz has never had a problem, despite it's being bent from when a guest dropped it, then stepped on it. The modem made all sorts of fun crackly sounds, and remains creased to this day. But it's worked fine ever since. epbrown Stop by the Portable Computing Center for reviews, editorials, and the FAQ on laptop computers. http://www.enteract.com/~epbrown Laptops: Kiwi 680TX and IBM Thinkpad 560 From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Sun Dec 28 07:17:13 1997 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA124571432; Sun, 28 Dec 1997 07:17:12 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id HAA07438; Sun, 28 Dec 1997 07:16:47 -0500 (EST) Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Sun, 28 Dec 1997 07:16:04 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id HAA07323; Sun, 28 Dec 1997 07:16:04 -0500 (EST) Received: from colin.muc.de (root@colin.muc.de [193.174.4.1]) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id HAA07311; Sun, 28 Dec 1997 07:15:56 -0500 (EST) Received: from slarti.muc.de ([193.174.4.10]) by colin.muc.de with SMTP id <86034-1>; Sun, 28 Dec 1997 13:15:50 +0100 Received: from seneca.muc.de (uucp@localhost) by slarti.muc.de (8.8.5/8.8.5) with muc.de id NAA08634 for thinkpad@cs.utk.edu; Sun, 28 Dec 1997 13:15:30 +0100 (CET) Message-Id: Date: Sun, 28 Dec 1997 12:53:00 +0100 From: hm@seneca.muc.de (Harald Milz) Subject: Re: DISPLAY FOR LINUX ON 760EL To: thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Organization: Linux.DE X-Pgp-Signed: Id=0x7ADC4839; access-type=Finger; Address=hm@muc.de; X-Nospam: I do not want to receive unsolicited advertising!

The version of your X server is relevant instead.

Did find a couple of refs to the CC1560 on DejaNews. If I use the bottom slot on my 701C, the dongle on the CDROM card in the top slot will interfere with it. Don't use the CDROM al the time, so maybe I'll just have to not use it when on line. Or maybe I'll have to order (if possible), the CC1560 directly from 3Com and pay list price. -- Stan Mocek mocek@enteract.com From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Sun Dec 28 10:36:32 1997 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA202553391; Sun, 28 Dec 1997 10:36:31 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA11088; Sun, 28 Dec 1997 10:35:33 -0500 (EST) Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Sun, 28 Dec 1997 10:34:56 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA10997; Sun, 28 Dec 1997 10:34:55 -0500 (EST) Received: from Arizona.EDU (Penny.Telcom.Arizona.EDU [128.196.128.217]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA10985; Sun, 28 Dec 1997 10:34:50 -0500 (EST) Received: from spectra.Opt-Sci.Arizona.EDU (spectra.Opt-Sci.Arizona.EDU) by Arizona.EDU (PMDF V5.0-5 #2381) id <01IRP8YKXUBKHSTMLD@Arizona.EDU>; Sun, 28 Dec 1997 08:34:37 -0700 (MST) Received: from d765 (cx-p.Opt-Sci.Arizona.EDU [150.135.52.53]) by spectra.opt-sci.arizona.edu (8.8.6/8.8.6) with SMTP id IAA13363; Sun, 28 Dec 1997 08:33:42 -0700 (MST) Date: Sun, 28 Dec 1997 08:34:31 +0000 From: "Stuart F.

My TP560-120 benchmarks at close to the same speed of my 90MHz Pentium with 512K L2 cache. The lack of a L2 cache causes a significant performance penalty, but it still isn't too bad for what I do. A Pentium 90 is a little weak for a game machine by todays standards, but it is still a great work machine if given adequate RAM. ============================================================================ ==== Help crack RC5 64-bit encryption -- http://www.distributed.net/rc5 ==== ============================================================================ From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Sun Dec 28 18:43:45 1997 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA103592624; Sun, 28 Dec 1997 18:43:44 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id SAA01086; Sun, 28 Dec 1997 18:43:21 -0500 (EST) Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Sun, 28 Dec 1997 18:42:24 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id SAA00935; Sun, 28 Dec 1997 18:42:23 -0500 (EST) Received: from colin.muc.de (root@colin.muc.de [193.174.4.1]) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id SAA00922; Sun, 28 Dec 1997 18:42:16 -0500 (EST) Received: from slarti.muc.de ([193.174.4.10]) by colin.muc.de with SMTP id <86019-2>; Mon, 29 Dec 1997 00:42:07 +0100 Received: from seneca.muc.de (uucp@localhost) by slarti.muc.de (8.8.5/8.8.5) with muc.de id AAA12934 for thinkpad@cs.utk.edu; Mon, 29 Dec 1997 00:41:44 +0100 (CET) Message-Id: Date: Sun, 28 Dec 1997 22:55:00 +0100 From: hm@seneca.muc.de (Harald Milz) Subject: Re: change address still get posts?

From the IBM website you'll need: 1. The MSCDEX CDROM driver to install Win95 from CD. You probably = already have this. 2. Thinkpad features, 2 disks. 3. Mwave for Win95, 3 disks. Mwave for DOS if you might boot there. The MWAVE installation is less tedious with Win95. Although two = irriating things haven't changed since you loaded it last. You still = need to pull out the floppy drive to load the above IBM distributed = stuff. But worse, Mwave 2.25 is still crap. Its finicky on phone line = quality producing non-robust connection drops. The 33.6 speed (not 28.8) = disables Mwave sound. The CPU drag when the Mwave modem is in use is = very noticable. I think the Mwave modem was designed for use with a = terminal or fax program, not a PPP stack and internet apps. I = recommend a PCMCIA modem. I can only comment on Mwave performance in = Win31 and 95. You also asked about OS/2. Anyone know if Mwave modems = have this behavior in OS/2? about a year or so ago, i sent to this list some detailed instructions on setting up an mwave thinkpad from scratch to win95 at 28.8. does anybody still have that, or instructions of their own? (i assume the mwave is at 33.6 by now, and i assume the process is still more tedious than it should be) i left my sysadmin job (and this list) about 8 months ago, so i no longer maintain a fleet of thinkpads. now i'm a student again, and i just bought a used 755cd from my former employer-- one that i used to work on, in fact, but it's stripped and they've lost both my documentation, and my driver disks. i don't have any of my old bookmarks, so i'd also like to know where i can d/l the latest drivers. also, about the time i left this list, people were starting to talk about osr2-- what works, what doesn't work on the tp's. i'm setting this up from scratch, so i'd like to go ahead & run osr2 since it's on my desktop and i like a lot of the features. any bumps in the road i can expect on the tp? thanks in advance. --=20 Michael J.

I am currently running NT 4 (SP-3) on a 765D using the current Mwave NT driver (along with the NT power management stuff from IBM). Mwave also seems to work fine after suspend/resume and hibernate cycles under NT (that didn't work under the preload Win95 that came on the 765D and that was one of many reasons I went to NT on the 765D). I have never had a connection drop if it was established and this includes long distance calls when traveling such as from a hotel in Japan to my office in Tucson Arizona. Previously I used Mwave with a 755CX under OS/2 Warp (mostly current FixPacks and most current Mwave for OS/2 drivers). Always had good luck there also. I did have a few connection drops at first but that turned out to be when water got into my home phone line during construction of the house next door - hasn't happened since I convinced a US West repairperson to look at and then fix my connection at the box on the street (the repair people on the phone would NOT do anything). Since then I have no drops. I normally dial a PPP server at work (10 miles and at least two US Worst switches away). Server is a Sun running Solaris with the bundled PPP. I must say that I don't normally use sound except for when some error triggers something. Also each machine has maximum RAM (40 for the 755CX and 104 for the 765D). One other thing to note about Mwave as compared to two different PCMCIA modems: I have never gotten an overrun on the Mwave (that I know of) but get them transferring binary files under Warp and Sun Solaris x86 (on either notebook) using PCMCIA. In each case some protocol in the signal chain notes the problem and the packet(s) are retransmitted and the files are OK. It may happen under NT but I don't know if (or how) I would find out if there was a problem. Under Solaris, overruns are noted in the "console" window and under Warp the error shows up in the "Dial Other Internet Provider" app window. Just my $0.02.

Although two irriating things haven't changed since you loaded it last. You still need to pull out the floppy drive to load the above IBM distributed stuff. But worse, Mwave 2.25 is still crap. Its finicky on phone line quality producing non-robust connection drops. The 33.6 speed (not 28.8) disables Mwave sound. The CPU drag when the Mwave modem is in use is very noticable. I think the Mwave modem was designed for use with a terminal or fax program, not a PPP stack and internet apps. I recommend a PCMCIA modem. I can only comment on Mwave performance in Win31 and 95. You also asked about OS/2. Anyone know if Mwave modems have this behavior in OS/2? Stuart F.

There seem to be quite a number of files related to getting the correct display drivers working, but I haven't had any success so far... In a file called VG760102.TXT, it mentions:- 11. Install the SVGA (800x600 or more with 256 colors or more) video mode driver using the "ThinkPad Video Features Diskette for OS/2." Does anyone have a filename for this diskette image? I assume it's available from:- ftp.pc.ibm.com/pub/pccbbs/mobiles Could anyone who has installed Warp 4 let me know which *.DSC files they have in c:\os2\install. I suspect that my initial installation may not have worked properly...

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu I've talked with a few folks here about trouble I'm having with installing my PCMCIA hard disk on my ThinkPad 360PE. There's something really screwy going on and I wonder if anybody has seen something like this. The drive is brand new, but I'm starting to think it's already crashed or something. Either that, or I'm missing a driver I don't know about. Drive model.......40MB Western Digital Caviar CU-140 Card software.....PhoenixCard Manager Plus v3.01 for PC DOS (Includes IBM card mgr v3.01) Utility version...Phoenix PCMFDisk version 1.0 When I install PCM (PhoenixCard Manager) "fresh" (only the hard disk in the slot) it says it found a Ricoh RF5C266/RF5C366 controler. That sounds odd, but maybe Western Digital used a Ricoh controler? First of all, I tell PCM that I have 2 sockets. I don't have a docking station. On the setup screen there are some parameters I don't understand: CIS window address (range C000-EF00h) I've been using DF00 Token ring speed (range 4-16) I've been using 4 Card settle time (ms) (range 1-1000) I've been using 660 I don't know what this "card settle time" is for. I'm pretty certain that there aren't any IRQ or memory conflicts. THE PROBLEM ----------- Note: I am running only DOS for the following: When I first got the Western Digital drive, I plugged it in, loaded the PCM software, rebooted, ran PCMFDisk, rebooted, then ran a regular DOS FORMAT on the drive. It formatted without errors. I prompty copied several files to it to give it a quick test. Then if I just try reading the files (COPY *.* NUL) I copied, DOS soon returns a "General Failure reading D:" error. I can do a binary compare (using FC.EXE) on the files and the ones that it can read pass okay. So then I tried running ScanDisk and Norton Disk Doctor. Neither of them know how to address the drive. Then I tried CHKDSK. It tells me there are all kinds of problems with the FAT. I try fixing it, but it has trouble writing to the drive. Sigh... So I thought maybe I should just repartition the drive and try again. I go through the whole process again, but when I get to FORMAT, it returns: Formatting 40.66MB... Invalid Media or Track 0 Bad I know that error. On any normal hard disk, this means the media is bad (or maybe a head crash). Then I do a DIR on the drive and there's all my files as before! That's strange! PCMFDISK should have wiped it all out, not to mention FORMAT, right? Okay, so I remove all memory managers et. al. and try rebooting several times. Same thing every time. But here's what's really got me scratching my head. When I first boot and do a DIR D: I get "Invalid Media" which is what you'd get on a non-formatted disk. Then I try FORMAT and get the "Track 0 bad" error. ONCE I HAVE DONE THIS I CAN READ THE DRIVE AGAIN. It's like FORMAT is sending a yoohoo to the drive that kicks it on or something. This is the first time I've tried installing a PCMCIA card of any kind. I'm a programmer and have built literally hundreds of desktops over the years, but I don't know what's going on with this PCMCIA business. Of course, I don't have the original Phoenix software. It came installed on the notebook when I bought it (used). Could I be missing a file of some kind? Please help, or at least loan me a bazooka or flame thrower!

That also includes my own benchmarking of my P120-based ThinkPad 560 as well as my desktop Pentium Pro 200 for your comparison. Please note that there are some Winstone scores that just won't show up. For some reason, there are certain tests that my 701 just *won't* complete--it hangs on the Netscape Navigator test and the PowerPoint 97 test, in particular. Unfortunately, this in turn messes up some of the overall test scores because it fails in these areas. Until Emanuel can set that up and you can get over to see those, I thought I could pass along the results of some of the "simpler" tests--that of Norton System Information (2.0--included in Norton Utils for Windows 2.0) and Wintune 95. The "Stock" 701C yielded a Norton SI score of 4.0. The SI score after the upgrade was 6.7. For comparison, a "typical" (I presume desktop) 386SX-16 serves as the baseline at 1.0. A 486-33 (I presume desktop) is a 5.9, and a Pentium 90 is 20.4. That gives you some idea of what Nortn SI thinks of the upgrade. Keep in mind this is a CPU-only benchmark. Please note that the following is *exactly* what the benchmark reports. In particular, the AMD 486 thing. Supposedly, this new CPU is an AMD "Enhanced"5x86, but no, that doesn't make it a Pentium. The benchmark apparently isn't fooled either--they see it as a 486 at 100 MHz. Basically it appears to be a clock-quadrupled (as opposed to tripled, as is the stock CPU in the 701) 25-MHz-based 486, plus the added advantage of AMD's floating-point math-coprocessor being extra fast (you can see that in the Whetstone score below). For Wintune 95, here's the details: Upgraded 701C Stock 701C -------------- --------------- CPU AMD 486 Intel 486DX4 Clock 100 MHz 75 MHz Dhrystone 36 MIPS 25 MIPS Whetstone 16 MFLOPS 6.9 MFLOPS Video Speed 2.9 MP/s 2.1 MP/s C: Cached Speed 4.4 MB/s 4.7 MB/s C: Uncached " 1.1 MB/s 1.1 MB/s RAM Read Avg. 84 MB/s 70 MB/s RAM Write Avg. 28 MB/s 30 MB/s RAM Copy Avg. 15 MB/s 13 MB/s If you just *can't* wait for Mr. Brown to put up the Excel file with the Winstone and Winbench scores on his web page, upon request I can send you the Excel file. Just let me know in private E-mail. I am reluctant to just send the file to the list because not everyone wants to or cares to see it. ------- Randal J.

I was able to capture 160x120 at 30fps. I'm not sure how many bits of color it was using. I wasn't able to increase the resolution and maintain 30fps without getting dropping frames. There are a few different video format options and audio format options in the Asymmetrix Digital Video Producer (DVP) capture program, although you can't seem to compress while capturing. Once captured and run through the DVP editor, you can dump out in more formats (with compression), although it seems you can only generate different flavors of .avi files (i.e., you can' t seem to create MPEG). You can play things back full-screen, and you can even watch the incoming video live at full-screen in overlay mode, but I'm not sure what the capturing limits really are at this point. Let me again say that I am not fully experienced with the video capabilities of the 770, so I might be selling it a bit short. --Lee Hetherington From owner-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Wed Dec 31 14:16:12 1997 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA060505772; Wed, 31 Dec 1997 14:16:12 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id OAA03597; Wed, 31 Dec 1997 14:15:54 -0500 (EST) Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.7); Wed, 31 Dec 1997 14:14:45 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (cf v2.9s-UTK) id OAA03363; Wed, 31 Dec 1997 14:14:44 -0500 (EST) Received: from ritchie.loop.com (ritchie-inet.loop.com [207.211.60.70]) by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id OAA03272; Wed, 31 Dec 1997 14:14:20 -0500 (EST) Received: from p19.hwts05.loop.net (pkhoury@p19.hwts05.loop.net [207.211.61.184]) by ritchie.loop.com (8.8.6/8.8.6) with SMTP id LAA28338 for ; Wed, 31 Dec 1997 11:06:48 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199712311906.LAA28338@ritchie.loop.com> From: "Paul Khoury" To: "TP List" Date: Wed, 31 Dec 97 11:13:34 Reply-To: "Paul Khoury" Priority: Normal X-Mailer: PMMail 1.95a For OS/2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Re: UPDATE: 701 Upgrade by PEP Comment: to {un}subscribe, send mail to thinkpad-REQUEST@cs.utk.edu On Wed, 31 Dec 1997 07:32:11 -0800, Randal Whittle wrote: >Hello All, > >Lest you all forget (and I apologize for the length of time this took), we >were doing benchmark testing on a 701C with a CPU upgrade by PEP (Portable >Enhancement Products).

No doubt, though, instead of a simple "yes" or "no," most who answer your question will say something along the lines of: "It depends on what you want the machine to do." Personally, I'd say that unless you're writing space shuttle code, don't upgrade. Peter At 06:49 PM 12/31/97 -0500, Geovanny M. Ortiz wrote: >All these numbers are too technical for me.
