I am running Warp on a 750 mono with 20 megs ram and a 540 meg drive. I don't plan on carting this thing around the country, so portability is not a prime factor. Speed is the most important factor for my needs. People on this list have talked about the Panasonic portable drive, and I think I remember it being mentioned that Warp drivers are available. This option has the added benefit of an included SCSI PCMCIA card, which I assume can be chained to other SCSI devices. I like the fact that the SONY drive also acts as a stand alone audio cd player, but I can find no mention of WARP drivers for this. I have also seen adds for Zenith and Reno drives, but I've had bad luck with Zeniths in the past, and Reno is a pretty unknown commodity. Then there is also the SCSI card - external CD drive option. Do any of these options include a game port? Any advice and experience would be greatly appreciated. In the interest of keeping traffic down, please respond to me directly, and I will compile them for the list. Thanks. ________________________ Victor Kress Geophysical Laboratory 5251 Broad Branch Road N.W.

I remember that Windows 95 had major problems with running out of IRQ's on my 755CD as every thing loaded was fighting for one. If you use this to disable the offending COM port, and INFARED ports, you'll find that Win95 should stop detecting things that aren't really there. I remember turning them off in BIOS config didn't work... I think to use the MWave stuff I simply installed the original Windows Drivers from IBM (7 disk set). This worked for me with sound, although I don't use the internal modem. Hope this helps.

I've had lockups while messing with video under DOS, and DOS emulation under Linux (it gets unhappy about there not being a floppy drive). I think I've had one other unexplained lockup under DOS, but I consider this normal for the amount of use I've gotten in the last month. > also does it give you a low battery warning 10 seconds before the battery > dies? this happens on all 3 of my batteries (I bought 2 extra batteries). I've only run the battery down 4 times. Twice I plugged into AC within a minute (definitely longer than 10 seconds). The other two times it went into suspend a minute or two after the alarm. Hibernation is disabled on my 701. I assume you have the NiMH like I do? > it jumps from about 12 to 14% down to 0% almost immediately and won't > let me suspend or hibernate (it says battery power is too low to go > into suspend). I haven't been using that meter much. I'll do a rundown tonight and watch what happens. I *have* seen it at 10%, 8%, and 5% so I don't think I have your problem. ___________________________________________________________________________ John H.

The funny thing is, I realized my memory was corrupted whenever my available RAM or resources dropped to a particular level. Not that I was out of either by any means, but that a particular address would always cause the the whole system to crash... then resulting in an EMM386 error #6.

I have a strange problem: I have a TP750Cs running Linux that runs fine on batteries but will not run reliably on AC power, either from the Dock I or from the power brick. For example, I recently installed Slackware 3.0 from floppy disks and compiled a custom kernal. While on AC power, I repeatedly observed "segmentation faults", "swapper task failures", and the inability to "free pages" --- while on battery power, I had no problems. I have since observed the same behaviour compiling several large application packages: on battery power I have never had a problem; on AC power (from either the Dock I or the power brick), I almost always have one.

I know there are some issues with the dock and linux, but I'd also add that my observations have been that funny problems like this are usually a result of BIOS version.

I have experienced this problem on my 701 (2.5 mos old), unfortunately, quite a bit. The first few discharges (near reliable AC power, of course), went fine. Then I went abroad on a six-week trip involving many long plane flights and very uncertain access to reliable electrical power, and I began experiencing this problem - sometimes the battery would drain from 40% all the way to 0% in no time. Usually, this happened in the middle of a burst of creativity, with no access to AC power. :( As a side note, this all occurred in countries using 220V/50Hz power, rather than the US 110/60, so that might have somehting to do with it. We'll see... The latest BIOS update (3N) resolved one of my big complaints (coming out of suspend when you shake it), and hopefully the battery problem can be easily resolved. We'll see.... Otherwise, I love my 701.

By coupling the two, I will be able to use the MapExpert CD ROM in a real time mode, where the GPS receiver updates the map's location continually. The two link via a cable connecting the NMEA output of the Accunav Sport to the serial port of the TP750CD.

I have called the IBM support line often enough that I feel I know the good folks on their end of the line. Likewise, DeLorme offers no consolation. I have been carful to follow all suggested steps to turn the port on. I cobbled together a loopback DB9 connector and used CheckIt to test the serial port.

I don't have my Thinkpad handy to check but there is more than one place in the various set-up routines (various means Windows has some options and then in the Thinkpad Set-Up there are some more and maybe elsewhere too) - if you methodically go through everything you should be ok, this is what worked for me in a similar situation.

I just had this problem on a 755 CD. The solution was to run ps2 ir disable to disable the IR port (under DOS) then power the machine off and back on holding the F1 key to get to Easy Setup. Go to Config and Serial and set the serial port to port 1. Savem exit and restart and you should be there.

When I bought a 540MB IBM OEM drive I discovered the pin position of the new drive differs from the old one. I dare not to push it hard into the caddy. So I returned the drive to the vendor. Do you mean it is possible to put the new drive into the old caddy even the pin position does not fit? Thank in advance for your advice.

Nothing seems to work... I had a similar experience today. On receive or send it broke off or wouln't start citing communication error. Then another application warned that it couldn't find enough memory. I restarted windows, didn't run as much stuff, and it works again. I have a 755CD with 24 MB of memory. Now to MY unsolved problem. Whenever I run just windows 3.1 and suspend/ resume, all the status lights on MWAVE modem light up and it becomes useless. This doesn't happen in OS/2 or windows under OS/2. Since Faxworks (the one with Voice also) won't work under win/os2, that makes the "resume on ring" option rather useless! (it wakes up to find that mwave is dead, and it can't answer the phone.)

Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Got my dock 2 (after Airborne express decided that apparently, yes, delivery IS what they're supposed to do) and was delighted that it all came together with no problems. I'm dissapointed the monitor shelf isn't part of the deal, but I was happily suprised that all it took to boot off the SCSI disk was to pull the internal. (Yes, I'm sure I could alter the EZ SETUP boot sequence, but that seems to me to be more trouble... wouldn't it be nice if that was configurable from DOS/Windork/OS2 software?) In unrelated news, a strange problem - when I fire my JPEG viewer up, it links my Winsock.dll. A few weeks ago it was complaining about the non-existance of a dll that it doesn't use. Does anyone know of a Windows freakyness that would cause a program to link a dll other than the standard required dlls? (IE a DLL that it wasn't originally programed to load...)

I have an absolutely *terrible* time with these morons. They have regularly done a *rotten* job of picking things up or delivering when they are supposed to. Delays are the norm and frankly, you're lucky if they can find where you live or remember to bring that call tag they're supposed to bring. My most recent troubles with them concerned a pickup of Adobe PageMaker...which 4 weeks after the call tag was issued they *still* can't manage to get together...

Money, of course. When I worked with Wolf Camera, they dumped FedEx for AE based on sume signifigant price savings - most of the 120+ stores did daily FedEx Box shipments. It was a mess. AE failed to make pickups, took days to get "overnight" packages from Miami to Atlanta, apparently let Dumbo take tap dancing lessons on our packages, etc. I don't think there's a former Wolf Florida exployee from 1989 who doesn't hate them - they delayed paychecks on several occassions. Sorry to go off on a tangent of sorts, but it is related to purchases from PC Direct.... They were no prize in this either - I ordered the dock on tuesday and they got it out of the warehouse on sunday, despite it being in stock on tuesday. Sheesh.

When we tried using the driver that came with the machine, the card was not recognized. After talking with 3Com tech support, we switched to using this driver (ELPC3.OS2). However, the system crashes during boot with this driver. It appears that our problems might be with what we understand is called "Card and Socket Services", since this is required for their driver. When we go into the "Plug and Play PCMCIA" program and look at what it thinks are in the slots, we see a modem in slot 0, and a LAN card in slot 1, but the later is "not ready".

It runs fine and seems faster than the previous 170MB drive. Only it generates a high pitch noise that is noticeable in a quite room. After installing the drive I finally shifted to Windows 95. It also solve my assumption that the Panasonic portable CD-ROM SCSI card can be used with other SCSI devices. Now a ZIP drive is attached to this PCMCIA card to provide extra disk space. I could not do it in Win31. Thanks for the Panasonic new device driver and IOmega's WIN95GUEST the ZIP drive works very fine with its new partner.

I found only the old model of the 750 drive, may be only those early models, differs from other vendors. I've tried Toshiba and Quantum too. All the pin configuration are the same, except the old 750 drive. One pair of pins shift one position. I've changed to the new drive now. Thanks for the advices.

When we tried using the driver that came with the machine, the card was not recognized. After talking with 3Com tech support, we switched to using this driver (ELPC3.OS2). However, the system crashes during boot with this driver. [...] I've used this card with both OS/2 2.1 + TCP/IP 2.0 and with Warp Connect. What system are you using? With Connect, it's necessary to get the very latest driver, which identifies itself as version 1.6 -- the driver can be obtained from the 3com ftp site. OS/2 2.1 was less picky about this, and the older drivers should work OK. We noticed that the file \OS2\AUTODRV2.INI seems related to this. Is the an input or output file? Do we have to modify this file too? This is a configuration file, that should not be modified. It does not affect network cards.

This is a decoder that supports Half Horizontal Resolution. This allows MPEG2 streams to be played from 4X CDROM drives (full MPEG2 streams require 5X drives). The True Lies clip is as cool as people say it is. There still appears to be a bug w/ the driver because it leaves a one pixel vertical line of garbage on the right. The Thinkpad also comes installed w/ 256 color drivers whereas the demo needs 64K color drivers...no idea why IBM didn't install 64K color video drivers as the default. I still haven't been able to play the common Xing MPEGs that are common nowadays; these MPEG's only contain I-frames. The media player doesn't show anything :-( 2) 12.1" Screen This is finally a good size for laptops. 10.4" screens are just too small and the 9.5 ones were worse :-) One interesting thing to note is that the manual for the thinkpad lists the specs on the display as being able to show 16.7M colors. Could it be that the chipset VRAM is limiting the display capabilities? 3) Enhanced Video S-video in/out is supported. Playing games in 800x600 mode (HVexp on :-) works relatively well. The resolution on my TV (a Panasonic GAOO 27") looks like it is slightly below 400 interlaced lines in resolution. Win95 on the TV is mostly unreadable (the text on the taskbar is unreadable) in 800x600 mode. Presentations should be done in 640x480 mode or large fonts should be used in 800x600 mode. I haven't tried video capture as the manual indicates that at least 12MB of memory is required. 4) Mwave Under OS/2 Warp Connect loses characters according to the slip program. It can't write characters to the Mwave driver (possibly because of the heavy swapping) at times. The modem doesn't like hooking to Hayes 28.8K modems at full speed but a Microcom Deskporte EP I have does. It hooks up to USR 28.8K modems with no problems. The games mode doesn't allow me to use SBPRO mode with Effects or Qsound. It complains of insufficient resources. This happens in MSDOS mode under Win95. Hong Kong MahJong Pro can't see the DAC in SB emulation mode, so there is no voice output :-( IMPROVEMENTS ------------ 1) PCMCIA Door The doors are now spring-loaded and fold inward as you put the PCMCIA cards in. This is better than the old 75x series pull-off door. 2) LCD Fuel Gauge This is useful extremely useful in telling you how much charge the system has left. The Fuel program doesn't have to be run any more :-) 3) Lithium Ion Batteries One battery generally lasts me 4 hours unless I am trying to boot Warp Connect on 8MB RAM (where each boot sucks up 4% of the battery)-: PROBLEMS -------- 1) MPEG2 driver bug (minor, see feature description above) 2) When I put it into suspend by closing the cover w/ a battery plugged in, I managed to get it into a hung mode where the power switch didn't work. I think I was looking at the memory expansion area. The fix was to pull the battery out, then plug it back in. 3) The memory expansion door bulges outward a little. This can be fixed by adding a front edge tab similiar to the ones on the sides of the door. 4) Be careful of the EM shielding fingers on the memory expansion door. They can be bent pretty easily. They contact some copper tape on the inside of the door; this tape looks like a last minute hack. 5) My floppy drive couldn't write to most diskettes because it complained everything was write-protected. On the one disk it formatted, it only formatted to about half capacity. After a call to IBM Easyserv, I got a replacement in a day. I guess this is the best reason for spending the extra $$$ for Thinkpads :-) 6) VGA non-compatibility bug caused difficult installs of some operating systems. GRIPES ------ 1) Can't install the floppy drive plate without removing the battery. This makes floppy/CDROM swaps on the road a pain. The problem is the floppy drive gap filler. Someone on the thinkpad mailing list pointed out that you don't have this installed to put the floppy drive in, but then you have dust problems with the big hole around the floppy drive. 2) The wrist rest is not deep enough. When I use the wrist rest as I normally use my desktop wrist rest, my fingers end up on the QWERTY row of keys instead of the normal home position for a touch typist. As someone else mentioned, my palms also seem to cover the speakers when I'm typing. 3) Fit and finish are good but need a bit more work. The memory expansion cover (see Problems section above) comes to mind. The external power jack also seems to be too high because I can see the silver part of the internal connector inside the case. 4) There is no uninstall program for all the software they give you and also no way to reinstall anything after you delete it. IBM should send out uninstall REXX scripts and a CDROM which you can use to reinstall the factory drive setup and separate programs. The CDROM could have a copy of the gzipped tar image I made and a full disk image of the C: drive. At the very least, an electronic description of what is in each directory would be helpful in deciding which directories to scrap. 5) I can overrun the key rollover buffer in the keyboard. I don't have a problem w/ my desktop's Northgate keyboard. 6) I'd still like some way of swapping the ctrl and capslock keys as I can do with the Northgate. Using my thumb to control the ctrl key doesn't feel right. On the thinkpad keyboard the proximity of the ctrl/alt keys also causes me to hit the fn key when I want the ctrl key. INSTALLATION ------------ 1) Backup I backed up the entire drive (I can't believe they formatted the 1.2 Gig drive as one huge FAT partition!) using the OS/2 version of tar which preserves extended attributes. The result was a 187MB gzipped tar file. 2) Repartitioning I repartitioned the drive using Partition Magic. I made a D: partition that was 150MB for Warp Connect. I shrunk the first partition down to 550MB. The rest of it is a partition for data and a 2MB partition at the end for Boot Manager. 3) Windows 95 Installed this onto the C partition with no real problems. The display blanked out (probably because of the VGA problem described below) during the install, but a reboot caused it to continue. It recognized the Trident chip and installed 256 color drivers automatically. It also recognized the IBM Etherlink II card I borrowed from a friend; Win95 picked up the IRQ/IO settings automatically which neither Warp Connect nor NT did. There is a conflict with the Win95 CDROM drivers and the DOS-based CDROM drivers; the CDROM is only visible if you are in Win95 or Win95 restarted in MS-DOS mode, but not both. This and the VGA problem are detailed in the Win95 install manual packed with the machine. You have to disable the DOS CDROM drivers for Win95's CDROM support to work, but when you do this, you can't see the CDROM drive when you shutdown into MSDOS mode to play games :-( 4) Warp Connect This is not described in the manual that comes with the system. I copied the \os2image files and modified the Disk 1 as described in the manual. However, Connect wants more because it didn't think the stuff on E: was the CDROM. I ended up labeling the partition LANCLNT to match the CDROM. I also copied everything in the root directory of the CDROM to the partition and also the \grpware directory. After the initial install, I put the CDROM back in as suggested in the manual and the LCD screen turned black. OS/2 wasn't hung because hitting return still worked. The IBM PC Co. Web site had a VGA driver fix that solved the problem. Installation was a little tricky, but documented. Someone on the thinkpad mailing list mentioned that the .cmd script is buggy, so I copied the four fix files by hand. Installation of the network drivers failed because I hadn't copied the \cid directory over; editing the \grpware\client\lanstart.ini file to reference the CDROM drive allowed me to continue installing the networking components. Be sure to specify a "Non Listed IDE CDROM" when you do the initial install or you won't be able to see the CDROM. If you intend to use Warp Connect, be sure to get more than 8MB of memory; Warp (unlike NT and Win95) doesn't understand that network protocol drivers don't have to be loaded if there is no ethernet card in the system. Warp Connect with 8MB is like watching icicles grow on a winter day. Before you install the Mwave drivers, be sure to install the system management driver (aodbsmd.sys) or the Mwave stuff won't work. Mwave also needs more memory or you will get these weird 15sec delays between opening a window and having sound come up. 5) Windows NT This was the trickiest of the installations. Turn off the OS/2 Boot Manager partition using fdisk first; otherwise, you will boot into NT's boot loader first, then OS/2. Place the CDROM in the drive and boot to DOS. Run winnt.exe with the /b and /x switches to do a floppyless install. This will copy all the install files onto the hard drive. Replace the CDROM drive with the floppy drive. On the second reboot, boot using a DOS diskette and copy the NT Trident lcd.sys driver from IBM's Web site over the vga.sys in the \winnt\system32\drivers directory. If you do not do this, you'll be greated with the lovely blank screen which is the symptom of the VGA problem. Install NT as usual, then copy the old vga.sys back in after you boot up. At this point, set up the NT video drivers as usual. Do not ever go into emergency VGA mode in NT; this will use the buggy NT vga.sys driver again. I still haven't gotten NT to recognize the ATAPI CDROM drive. 6) Convert drives to HPFS At this point, I converted my D: and E: drives from FAT to HPFS using Partition Magic. The reason I did this is that HPFS has a lot less wasted space when you have a lot of files. My development environments are mainly OS/2 and NT with Win95 relegated to games :-) 7) Tried installing a Xircom IIps ethernet card. Oddly enough, this works in NT, but the driver doesn't load in Win95. In Warp Connect, the whole system hangs hard (power cycle is needed). After talking to Xircom tech support, I found that the configuration info was in the registry for Win95. I deleted the key, reinstalled the card, and Win95 even knows how to bring the network up if you put in the card after you boot Win95. This is definitely how networking should be, unlike the horrible OS/2 network install process which still doesn't work. :-( SUGGESTIONS TO IBM ------------------ 1) Increase the depth of the wrist wrest by half an inch. The 13.3" model next year will need a larger case anyways, and this would be a good time to do it. 2) Include an external floppy drive cable w/ the 760CD. This would have made the installs a lot easier. Anyone buying the system should probably get the external floppy cable. 3) Switch to using ultrabay cartridges that can be hot swapped. The CDROM and floppy are difficult to swap because the battery has to be removed each time. The holder for the hard drive for the ultrabay will then no longer be necessary; the holders for the hard drive should also be available for no extra charge if the current Ultrabay design is kept (though not shipped unless needed because most people don't use two hard drives). 4) Provide some sort of hardened case for the floppy and CDROM. They are both very fragile if the warning labels are correct, so they can't really be carried around. 5) Upgrade the 760CD memory to 16MB to compete w/ the Toshiba Tecra CT. The system preload of Win3.1 and OS/2 feels sluggish with the normal 8MB. The system is useless when running Warp Connect w/ 8MB :-( 6) Add PCI and Cardbus support and a PCI dock. I almost could do without my desktop if I didn't want a 3D accelerator PCI card. This should happen later this year...anyone want to buy a 9month old 760CD this Fall when the new Thinkpads come out? ;-) 7) Add dual processor support. Have a desktop/dock with a Pentium and when the thinkpad is docked, you have a dual processor with twice as much processing power and FAST Wide SCSI drives...uh..maybe I'm dreaming too much ;-} FINAL COMMENTS -------------- The 760CD is a nice system. The disk size and display size are very usable for development. Base memory is lacking at only 8MB. If you don't need the extra features, consider the 760C instead; there are less features, but less IRQ's, ports, etc. are used, so you have less chances for conflicts with PCMCIA cards. If you are using it for development, get the 1.2GB hard drive; I used half of it for tools and operating systems already and I may consider using 2nd hard drives for each client's tools. The 760CD is not quite perfect, but it is probably the closest of the laptops available with solid support from IBM if anything goes wrong.

My problem/question is that before I installed 95 my hard drive got corrupted, so I did a format and installed 95 over a fresh DOS/3.1 setup, without MWave or anything installed on the system. Now, the MWave instructions say to install the DOS disks before the Windows disks. Do I need to still do this with 95? Should I install it into 95, or into a MS-DOS session that I rebooted into from the "Shutdown" item? Or, can I just install the two Windows MWave disks and forget the DOS disks? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have a 360c - have had it for about 8 months. Works great really - I mostly run Linux/XFree86. My question is: My original battery has bit the dust. It won't hold a charge, and I've had to go buy another. I try to be good about letting it run down between charges. I'm pretty disappointed that I only got 8 months out of the battery.

Yes. I did, as the MWave for Windows asks for the DOS Stuff. Also if you ever need to run programs (games) that have to unload Win95 before running then you will need the MWD stuff to have any access to sound/modem etc. > Should I install it into 95, or into a >MS-DOS session that I rebooted into from the "Shutdown" item? I don't think this will really matter that much as the install only creates the MWD directory and modifies your Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files. If the worst comes to the worst and the install fails, its really easy to manually install all the relevant data into the above files. If your at all worried then go for the safe option and install from a Command Prompt Only boot. > Or, can I >just install the two Windows MWave disks and forget the DOS disks? I think you kind of answered your own question on this one. To be honest, if you can, then there's no real need as MWD is pretty small and provides extra features that you just might need one day.

I just didn't want to bring the whole system down by formatting... ken p.s., I'm probably going to drop my review onto a web page because it has some useful undocumented install tips (especially since IBM tech support only supports the installed operating systems). If anyone else has some good install tips for different operating systems, let me know. Or if anyone else gets the MPEG2 hardware to do anything else but play their True Lies demo... p.p.s., Xircom got back to me on how to get their IIps card working under Warp Connect (it involves changing the parameters to the ibm02ss.sys file in the config.sys). I can now go into Warp Connect without hanging, though only at quarter thruster speed because of the 8MB of memory :-( ftp transfers on a non-busy ethernet clock in at around 419KB/sec which is decently fast.

Ah, yes, but the kicker is that it was a Micro-Channel drive (using IBM's wanna-be standard Micro-Channel Architecture, or MCA, which never took off and was eventually canned by IBM). Nobody makes MCA drives anymore, and Sigma Data's solution is some kind of high-priced work-around. It's clever, though. I guess if you absolutely need to upgrade your 700 or 720, this is the only solution other than using an external hard drive chassis off of the parallel port. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kevin Prince | Check out the Road Warrior Outpost kevin@warrior.com | at ---> http://warrior.com/ <--- 714/418-1400 x 101 | Resource for the high-tech mobile professional ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Wed Jan 10 13:35:34 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA15254; Wed, 10 Jan 96 13:35:34 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id NAA15707; Wed, 10 Jan 1996 13:34:31 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Wed, 10 Jan 1996 13:31:40 -0500 Received: from chaph.usc.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id NAA15425; Wed, 10 Jan 1996 13:31:37 -0500 Received: from [128.125.223.76] (comserv-f-04.usc.edu [128.125.223.76]) by chaph.usc.edu (8.7.2/8.7.2/usc) with SMTP id KAA08260; Wed, 10 Jan 1996 10:31:27 -0800 (PST) X-Sender: whittle@scf.usc.edu Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Wed, 10 Jan 1996 10:40:34 -0800 To: "Murray W.

That mini charge, as Randy pointed out, definitely _kills_ batteries. I believe the term battery "memory" applies to NiMH unlike Lithium batteries. When partially discharging a NiMH battery repeatedly to a similar level, i.e. leaving the laptop unplugged overnight or every weekend and then recharging it, the battery eventually refuses to recharge beyond that point.

The docs I got with my 701C and the NiMH specifically states that not only is it unnecessary to discharge the battery completely between charges but that doing so may do damage to the batteries. I often leave the battery in while running off the charger and check the battery level occasionally to make sure I didn't knock the adapter out of the wall. According to the on screen indicator I have not noticed less than 100% charge after full charge is first reached. ---------- Microsoft Network is prohibited from redistributing this work in any form, in whole or in part.Copyright Joseph Christie, 1996.

What has your experience been? Pretty much the same as yours, I'm afraid. My 360Cs' original "dumb" NiMH battery is pretty much dead, despite my having treated it according to the directions in the manual. The 360 series does not have the battery conditioning circuitry that the 75x units have. I also have one of the 750-series "smart" batteries, which is starting to demonstrate the same problems. I've tried to condition it a couple of times in a 755, but I haven't been able to do so frequently enough to be effective. I tried to condition the dumb battery the same way, but as I recall, the 755 didn't even recognize the presence of the battery. I haven't heard any of the people I know with 75x units complain about this problem, so it seems that the discharge/charge cycle feature does indeed help prolong the lifetime of the NiMH batteries. -- Tim Tyhurst tim@excelsior.com From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Thu Jan 11 00:21:31 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA16683; Thu, 11 Jan 96 00:21:31 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id AAA05249; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 00:20:43 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Thu, 11 Jan 1996 00:19:08 -0500 Received: from nile.gnat.com by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id AAA04946; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 00:19:06 -0500 Received: by nile.gnat.com (5.0/1.20) id AA27096; Thu, 11 Jan 96 00:10:12 EST Date: Thu, 11 Jan 96 00:10:12 EST From: dewar@gnat.com (Robert Dewar) Message-Id: <9601110510.AA27096@nile.gnat.com> To: Kenneth_Yee/CAM/Lotus.LOTUS@crd.lotus.com, jfriedl@nff.ncl.omron.co.jp Subject: Re: My review and experiences w/ 760CD Cc: tp750@cs.utk.edu One thing that is really annoying about the 760CD is the silly pre-installation, which makes one big FAT partition.

There is a DOS utility out there that allows you to repartition on the fly. It hacks off some unused part of a pre-existing partition and makes a new partition out of it, leaving the old one untouched except for its size. I used it to create a partition on which I could put Linux. From the Linux Install guide: NOTE: There is a non-destructive disk repartitioner available for MS- DOS, called FIPS. Look on sunsite.unc.edu in the directory /pub/Linux/system/Install. With FIPS, a disk optimizer (such as Norton Speed Disk), and a little bit of luck, you should be able to resize MS-DOS partitions without destroying the data on them. It's still suggested that you make a full backup before attempting this. Again, this is a DOS program that just happens to be useful if you want to create a partition to install Linux -- I don't believe that there's anything Linix-specific about it.

Could you please specify what fiddling did you have to do, and which "annoying VGA fix" you are referring to? I am planning to rearrange the HD to install Boot Manager, OS/2, Dos, WfW and WinNT within the next couple of weeks." You have to run TP VGA Fix for OS/2 twice. First you follow the directions for installing image files from the CD ROM onto the hard drive. Now start the OS/2 install. At the point where it wants to restart to continue the installation, instead use diskettes 0 and 1 to get an OS/2 command prompt. At this point, I found I could NOT run the repvga command file, despite the documentation, but you can find the relevant files and replace them manually. Now continue with the installation. At the end, instead of restarting again load diskettes 0,1 to the command prompt, and now you can run repvga as in the documentation. the idea is that the standard vga drivers do not work, they must be replaced or you will get a blank screen (so much for compatbility!)

You may want to look into Partition Magic by Power Quest (ht tp://www.powerquest.com) in addition to being able to repartition with out losing data (if you have free space that is) Partition Magic allows you to change a FAT partition to HPFS including converting the data for you! It has worked nicely for me on the two occasions I have used that feature. ____________________________________________________________ ___ Kevan P.

First of all, exact this warning is written in the readme-files of fips. Second, there is described how to use fips: first, check your harddisc, then do a defrag, then check again, make backups if you want and then use fips. I used fips and it worked very well for partitioning my disc for a linux partition.

The problem was not with the TP755, but was in the documentation of the linking software. One person gently suggested that I RTFM. Well, I did RTFM and the problems turned out to be NITFM . ***for those interested, the following is a description of the setup and how it works*** I have an Eagle Accunav Sport hand held GPS receiver. There are four pins on the back. One is a common, one is an NMEA-183 input, one is for supplemental power and the last is for NMEA-183 output. The input pin is for coupling the GPS to a differential LORAN receiver for increased accuracy. The output pin outputs an ASCII stream that includes longitude, latitude, time, date and altitude of the receiver. Software from DeLorme Mapping accepts the input stream from the serial port of the Thinkpad and slaves the street map program MapExpert (on CD ROM) to the output. The result is that the street map stays centered on the laptop's screen as the laptop is moved around- as in a plane, car or boat. The refresh rate is adjustable, such as every 2-3 seconds and a dot or "breadcrumb" can also be left on the map every so many updates. For those not familiar with MapExperty/ Street Atlas USA (DeLorme), it is a CD ROM that contains every street, alley, road, highway, lane, river, creek, town, airport. . .etc. in the USA, including Alaska and Hawaii. The end result is incredible. By fastening the little GPS receiver to the back of the 755CD's screen and sticking the GPS's antenna (a little plate about 2" square) to the windshield, I can see where I am and where I've been anywhere I drive in the continental USA. When coupled with a trip-planning CD Rom, such as MapNGo (also by DeLorme), I can plan a vacation trip and see where I am as I travel. Accuracy of the GPS is degraded by our government, except in time of war, so that a terrorist couldn't use it to guide a cruise missile or to guide an airplane as a cruise missile. This degradation of the accuracy is presently in the +-50' or so range. That means your "trail of breadcrumbs" might wander from one side of the road to the other- but who cares? Without the degradation of the GPS accuracy, accuracy in the 10-15' range could be expected. However, by coupling the GPS to a Loran Differential beacon, accruacy of about 10' is expected even with the degradation of the GPS signal. Another side benefit of the GPS receiver is that you have an incredibly accurate time displayed for setting your watch . Thanks again to the good people who sent me their suggestions. DeLorme's support folks came through by having me set the baud rate to 4800 from the 9600 recommended setting (ITFM) and changing one other variable. Now- my next task is to get the modem working.

According to the on screen indicator I have not noticed less than >100% charge after full charge is first reached. As you point out, the 701C (which I also now own) specifically tells you NOT to run the batteries down all the way. I don't know *anything* about the technical details, but I do know they can make NiMH batteries that do not exhbit this memory effect. I think the tradeoff is that the battery doesn't have as many charging cycles in its lifetime (my Father used to work for a battery company, so he knows more about this than I do). Motorola uses this type of battery technology on its 2-way radios (I don't know about its cellular phones), since these are usually something that has to be constantly charged to capacity to get maximum usage out of it, and that necessity overrides charge-cycle life. I presume IBM finally figured out the same thing when it made the 701 and used that same type of technology for that model's batteries. The tradeoff, of course, is you'll have to buy a new battery more often--but unless you were diligent in not recharging it too much in the first place, you would have had to do that even sooner with the old technology. ----- ____________________________ Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu | WWW Home Page: | USC Graduate School of Business | http:// | "Did you really think you could call up the | www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle/| Devil and ask him to behave?" ---------------------------- -Fox Mulder on T.V.'s "X-Files" speaking to an occult practitioner Southern Cal--Rose Bowl Champions, 1996!!

I'm on my third battery in my TP750, and probably going for a fourth soon (it doesn't help that it sits on my shelf as a Linux server, although I do try to completely cycle the battery once every week or two). IBM has never given me a hassle about replacing the battery. The first time I was asked if I'd done various things to it to see if I'd abused it. The second time I'd barely said the word "battery" when the guy said they'd send a new one overnight. I dunno what I'll do when the warranty ends in November. ;) Toshiba only covers their battery for a year. ___________________________________________________________________________ John H.

I just installed MWAVE 2.00 for DOS and Windows on my 755CX. Now when Windows comes up I get a shrieking, static sort of noise coming from the speaker. It goes away when I leave Windows. The new software had worked for a while and then all of a sudden this noise started. I was in Windows but wasn't using the TP at the time. If I disable the DSP device in the DSP setup, the shrieking doesn't occur the next time I bring up Windows. Should anyone have an answer, please let me know. I'd really appreciate the help.

I just got my machine out. In the MWAVE ThinkPad program group, there's an entry (in mine) called "Audio Control". If I go into that and change my "Input Source" to "Mic", I get a nice shrieky feedback (to be expected since the speaker is close to the mic).

I've got a Toshiba 1.3gig in my 755cx. It works fine, other than I haven't found a satisfactory case for it. The one that I got with it almost fits, except the little wire handle for pulling it out sticks up too high, so the keyboard won't close correctly. I purchased the one from ISN, for $50, and after I got it, saw why it cost half as much as other cases. It's only half a case! It only comes with the top half, and doesn't come with the bottom half with a little slide out lock. I've been using the one from ISN simply cuz it does fit better, and I've decided locking the ThinkPad down with the slide out lock isn't real secure anyway. The tab that sticks out bends much too easily, and I'm sure if I bent it back and forth a few times, it'd simply break. I haven't had any problem with suspend, but I'm not sure about hibernate since I don't ever use that mode. --- Chris Osborn, Network Administrator Voice: 707 253 3130 Napa Valley College Fax: 707 253 3063 2277 Napa-Vallejo Hwy., Napa, CA, 94558 MIME ok, NeXTMail tolerated From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Fri Jan 12 19:59:53 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA16326; Fri, 12 Jan 96 19:59:53 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id TAA27374; Fri, 12 Jan 1996 19:59:30 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Fri, 12 Jan 1996 19:57:05 -0500 Received: from sentinel.synapse.net by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id TAA27256; Fri, 12 Jan 1996 19:57:03 -0500 Received: from harp-18.synapse.net (harp-18.synapse.net [199.84.52.188]) by sentinel.synapse.net (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id TAA05226; Fri, 12 Jan 1996 19:56:57 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199601130056.TAA05226@sentinel.synapse.net> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Patrick Hong" To: st94m8dn@dunx1.ocs.drexel.edu (Mark Bell) Date: Fri, 12 Jan 1996 20:00:21 +0500 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Subject: Re: 755CX Screen Extension....

This means that the cluster size is the partition size (roughly) divided by 32k, rounded up to the nearest power of two.

You might check >there just to be sure. Thanks Michael. I checked Western Digital's Web site, and the information you provided is indeed accurate. To wit, this is what I got from the web site in some FAQ buried umpteen layers deep... ;-) Here goes: --------------- QUOTE MODE ON: 17: How come I'm getting a message that I am out of disk space after loading in 800 mb of data when I have a 1 GB drive? In DOS, every file that is stored gets at least one allocation unit (called a "cluster") no matter what the size of the file is. The size of the cluster grows incrementally with the size of the partition. If you have a 1.08 gig partition, the cluster size will be 32k. This means that even a 62 byte batch file is going to consume 32k of storage space (the difference between the 32k of the cluster and the 22 bytes that the file really needs is called "slack space"). The only feasible way to reduce the cluster size is to reduce the partition size.

I'm planning to ditch OS/2 (sadly, because I need to run some 32 Bit Windows apps.) My question is this: I have to choose between NT WS3.51 and '95 (Yeeeeuck!). Of course, I'd rather run NT because it really does multitask, and it really is fast. However, I have the distinct imprssion that trying to get NT to do anything beyond bare-bones operation on a 755cx is going to be a fruitless effort. Has anyone figured out how to get MWave 2.0 fired up under NT? How about the 800x600 video? PCMCIA? Of course, I have yet to actually TRY any of this, and I might be a bit to pessimistic. Let me know if/how I can do any or all of these things.

I would recommend Wind95 to run the Win32 apps. Then just switch back to OS/2 and get some real work done. BTW, if the apps are Win32s compliant then you could run them in a Win-OS/2 session.

I'm planning to ditch OS/2 (sadly, because I need to run some 32 Bit Windows apps.) My question is this: I have to choose between NT WS3.51 and '95 (Yeeeeuck!). Of course, I'd rather run NT because it really does multitask, and it really is fast. However, I have the distinct imprssion that trying to get NT to do anything beyond bare-bones operation on a 755cx is going to be a fruitless effort. Has anyone figured out how to get MWave 2.0 fired up under NT? How about the 800x600 video? PCMCIA? Of course, I have yet to actually TRY any of this, and I might be a bit to pessimistic. Let me know if/how I can do any or all of these things.

I am planning to do the Pentium upgrade for it. If I understand correctly, the upgrade is to a 75MHz Pentium. I though that a 100MHz DX4 system had a clock rate of 33MHz. In order to run a 75MHz Pentium, doesn't this mean that the system clock has to be changed to 25MHz? If this is the case, won't the reduced system clock speed slow down other aspects of the system, like disk and video throughput. Is the Pentium upgrade really an improvement?

On a TP related note, I dropped my 755cx down the subway stairs the other day (fell out of my backpack)-: It appears to have hit on the hinge near the PC slots -- that whole area is toast, as is the opposing side of the hinge near the phone connector. Still works, though, although the right 20% of the LCD no longer works (although bumping things causes pretty patterns to flicker -- seems something is shorted out). The LCD itself doesn't seem to be cracked, so hopefully it'll be fixable. Sigh. Have to tell my boss now.....

The reason for the leap years is that the calendar "drifts" in regards to the equinoxes. That is why Othrodox Christmas is in January. The fractional part of the number of days in a year causes the drift. The rules use to be simpler but drift still occurred. The rules were then made more complex to make the drift even less. The simpler version would work if the year was exactly 365.25 days. 73 Eric WB1HBU --IMA.Boundary.821804855 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; name="RFC822 message headers" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: cc:Mail note part Received: from [128.169.94.1] by doblegate.doble.com with SMTP (IMA Internet Exchange v1.04) id 0fb09450; Mon, 15 Jan 96 21:11:18 -0500 Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id VAA24350; Mon, 15 Jan 1996 21:16:15 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Mon, 15 Jan 1996 21:16:00 -0500 Received: from rmii.com by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id VAA24303; Mon, 15 Jan 1996 21:15:57 -0500 Received: from ns2.rockymtn.net by rmii.com with smtp (Smail-3.1.29.1 #4) id m0tc0rs-000JMmC; Mon, 15 Jan 96 19:11 MST Received: from ocgw.ig.omron.co.jp by ns2.rockymtn.net with smtp (Smail-3.1.29.1 #4) id m0tc0uG-001ZH2C; Mon, 15 Jan 96 19:13 MST Received: by ocgw.ig.omron.co.jp; id LAA22531; Tue, 16 Jan 1996 11:10:16 +0900 Received: from unknown(192.168.254.20) by ocgw.ig.omron.co.jp via smap (g3.0.3) id xma022529; Tue, 16 Jan 96 11:10:11 +0900 Received: by ocgwin.ig.omron.co.jp (8.6.8+2.4Wb-o2.0/2.8Wb-ocgwin) id LAA11170; Tue, 16 Jan 1996 11:10:53 +0900 Received: by hamlet.wg.omron.co.jp (8.6.8+2.4Wb-o2.0/2.8Wb-hamlet) id LAA04242; Tue, 16 Jan 1996 11:10:08 +0900 Received: by othello.nff.ncl.omron.co.jp (8.6.8+2.4Wb/2.8Wb-othello) id LAA16734; Tue, 16 Jan 1996 11:10:06 +0900 From: Jeffrey Friedl Date: Tue, 16 Jan 96 11:08:45 +0900 Message-Id: <9601160208.AA00416@shibuya.nff.ncl.omron.co.jp> To: rdslon01@mik.uky.edu Cc: lee@rmii.com, husc.harvard.edu!chan4@rmii.com, cs.utk.edu!tp750@rmii.com In-Reply-To: rodney d slone's message of Mon, 15 Jan 1996 20:54:32 -0500 <9601160 154.AA01926@mik.uky.edu> Subject: Re: the year 2000 -- is the tp750 bios ready for it?

(most other ibm dx4/100's are, much to their own undoing, clock-doubled on a 50mhz board.) most pentiums, i'm told, run 3 instructions per 2 clock cycles, so a 75mhz pentium runs on a 50mhz board. i don't know if this applies to this particular upgrade, but i would also want to find out if this pentium chip is of the p24t variety. if so, don't do it. the p24t technology is like a pentium sx. it's 64 bit internally, but 32 bit externally, and the 75mhz version runs (according to ibm) about 10% slower than a dx4/100.

I called IBM Canada's sales support line. It sounds like the upgrade is the P24T, because they tell me that it isn't as fast as a true 75MHz Pentium due to the 32-bit external data path. Not surprisingly, the person that I talked to didn't know anything about a 10% performance degradation compared to a 100MHz 486DX4. Is there an on-line source for this information? Scott ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: 755cd pentium upgrade Author: Michael Verne/VENTANA most dx4/100's, *including* the tp 755cd are clock-tripled on a 33mhz board. (most other ibm dx4/100's are, much to their own undoing, clock-doubled on a 50mhz board.) most pentiums, i'm told, run 3 instructions per 2 clock cycles, so a 75mhz pentium runs on a 50mhz board. i don't know if this applies to this particular upgrade, but i would also want to find out if this pentium chip is of the p24t variety. if so, don't do it. the p24t technology is like a pentium sx. it's 64 bit internally, but 32 bit externally, and the 75mhz version runs (according to ibm) about 10% slower than a dx4/100.

I have a GlidePoint connected to my desktop at home, which I disconnected and hooked up to the TP750CE when I brought it home. Apparently, the only way to set up the tap-clicking is to install Glidepoint's drivers, which (in all likelihood) clobber the Trackpoint. Since the TP actually is used in our office for training, I didn't mess around with installing the GlidePoint drivers. Of course, I'd be ecstatic to see if anyone else knows otherwise! \ Dennis J.

"....What is the downside of running 50/100?

Any ideas? Anyone know when the next release of > the MWave software is expected? I'm having similiar problems under Warp Connect. I thought it was related to swapping problems because I only have 8MB.. My setup is using the 760 as a router for a small home network with another OS/2 machine and an NT machine. The 760 is running SLIP w/ Mwave 2.0 to a system running TIA. The other machines are told to default route through the 760. After SLIP comes up, the 760 stops swapping, so it's definitely not that. The symptom is that telnets work (although response times are slow). The SLIP window puts out a lot of warnings that only x of y characters were written with x < y. ftp's seem to go for a while (both ways), then die as if they lose sync.

Well, I use it largely to POP into my provider to get and send mail using Eudora, do Web surfing, and anything else on the 'net. The symptoms are that if I don't back down to 19200 on my dial-up, I get assorted hang-ups, dead connections, inability to do name resolution, and it hardly ever works. Unless, sometimes, I connect at a pure 28.8. It seems that any backoff isn't working properly. It's now seems to be having these symptoms at 19200, also. I'm not sure that it doesn't also have something to do with my provider. At least, that's how it seems to me.... Cheers, ssh -- Steve Hultquist Worldwide Solutions, Inc.

The reason for the rules is of course that the period of rotation is not an exact number of days (think about it, there is no reason the speed of rotation of the earth should have any relation to the speed of rotation around the sun). The length of the year is almost 365.25 days, so a leap day every fourth year is almost right, but it is not exactly 365.25, so higher order corrections are needed. The above statement of rules is nowhere near complete :-) From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Thu Jan 18 11:50:51 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA11247; Thu, 18 Jan 96 11:50:51 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id LAA24076; Thu, 18 Jan 1996 11:50:06 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Thu, 18 Jan 1996 11:46:56 -0500 Received: from serv0.cae.wisc.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id LAA23737; Thu, 18 Jan 1996 11:46:53 -0500 Received: from hobie.engr.wisc.edu (hobie.engr.wisc.edu [144.92.12.58]) by serv0.cae.wisc.edu (8.6.12 CAE/8.6.10) with SMTP id KAA23800 for ; Thu, 18 Jan 1996 10:46:43 -0600 Message-Id: <199601181646.KAA23800@serv0.cae.wisc.edu> X-Sender: redmond@serv0.cae.wisc.edu X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.1.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Thu, 18 Jan 1996 10:46:43 -0600 To: tp750@cs.utk.edu From: Michael Redmond Subject: Hi color 800X600 on 755CD/CE I am setting up my 755CD for Win 95. I looked over the FAQ (too out of date), though I assume this has been discussed before. Are there Win 95 drivers to allow external 800X600 displays in hi-color (16bit) mode for the 755CD (and CE)? Where can I get them? I actually got the hi-color to work at 800X600 by using the 755CX Win95 driver, so the hardware is in some ways capable. BUT it looked like it was in interlace or 43Hz mode AND whenever I tried to use any other IBM graphics setup (for enhanced graphics), the screen went bonkers (looked like viewing through a fish tank and at wrong resolution). The WD90C24 Win 3.11 drivers for the 755CE and CD do seem to support the 800X600 high color mode, but they are not Win 95 compliant. Also, I had trouble getting the external SVGA to even find the high-resolution modes when first starting Win95. I had some help to get it set up, but it is a hassle. You set CRT mode in the IBM Display options, shutdown Win95 and the computer, hold F1 when powering up to get the Easy Setup options, hit Config, hit Initialize, exit, restart Win95, "remove" the Western Digital display adapter, and then reinstall it. After restarting, you get the other resolutions (at least 800 X 600 @ 256, and 1024 X 768 @ 256). Again, a definite hassle. Thanks for any help. I have other questions about why the 755CD is so flakey with Suspend and Hibernate and why the Glidepoint pad clicking doesn't work...but I'll ask those later (soon).

What I was not able to do was use a tap on the pad as a click rather than clicking the button itself. Why? I haven't a clue. The Alps GlidePoint documentation specifically states that you can plug it in and use it, but that drivers must be installed to provide tap/click capabilites. With the TP safely (?) back at work, I plugged the ALPs Glidepoint into my desktop PC running Win 3.1 and was able to use it, but did not have tap/click capabilities until I ran the Install program on the disk.

DATE: January 17, 1996 INDEX: [1] ORDER NO: 357783# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Las Vegas, Electronic Engineering Times via Individual Inc. : IBM Corp. is readying a palmtop PC that combines a pager, digital still camera, portable phone, network client and PDA. The tiny (1.32-pound) 486SX/33-MHz-based 256-color unit drew big crowds at a sneak preview at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which closed last week. Designed by IBM Japan, the IBM Palm Top PC 110 uses a lithium-ion battery and can run full PC functions based on the PC/AT architecture. "We built something that is so portable, so versatile and yet fully functional as a PC," said Joe Takemura, advisory manager of strategic mobile computing for worldwide strategic marketing at IBM Personal Computer Co. (Tokyo). Simply by changing a PCMCIA card with different functionalities, the unit becomes one of several consumer products: PDA, FM radio, digital camera or portable phone. A PCMCIA card slot houses two Type II cards or one Type III card. With 4 Mbytes of main memory, the unit has a 4-Mbyte storage space made possible by internal flash memory, and it supports PCMCIA boot. The Palm Top PC comes with a 4.7-inch double-supertwisted-nematic color LCD panel supporting 256-color, 640 x 480 VGA. When connected to an external display, the Palm Top is capable of 800 x 600 Super VGA. The main body incorporates Chips and Technologies' 65535 graphics chip with 512 kbytes of video RAM. An integrated speaker offers 8-bit monaural sound. Interfaces include a fax/modem, compact flash port, phone head-set jack and port-replicator bus. A port replicator is a docking station onto which the Palm Top PC can be placed, to take advantage of a floppy-disk drive and a PC card with a 260-Mbyte hard-disk drive using Windows 3.1. What's more, the Palm Top provides an internal telephone receiver and microphone on the front panel, so that the unit can be employed as a telephone receiver. By inserting a tiny, 270,000-pixel charge-coupled-device color camera mounted onto a PCMCIA Type II card, the Palm Top PC becomes a digital still camera, storing JPEG-compressed, true-color digital pictures. Three modes The camera, made by Canon, has three selectable modes. Standard mode uses as much as 30 kbytes to store one still picture, with detail mode at 60 kbytes and half-rate at 15 kbytes. Once digital pictures are taken, you can use the Palm Top's telephony capability to transmit them over a phone line. The Palm Top PC has a small keyboard, a pointing head and click buttons, but it can also be connected to a full-size, external traveling keyboard and a mouse for serious word processing. Separately, IBM demonstrated an SRAM PC card, ChipCard TC-100, in PCMCIA Type II. The card comes with an LCD panel for 72 x 24 graphics display, a 24-button keypad and an 8-bit microcontroller. In Japan, a basic Palm Top PC without a docking station costs $1,690; with a docking station, $2,890. A PCMCIA Type II card-based camera, designed and made by Canon, costs $398. IBM Japan has been shipping Palm Top PCs in Japan since October. No U.S. launch is planned. <> --- By Junko Yoshida [01-17-96 at 19:22 EST, Copyright 1996, CMP Publications, Inc., File: c0117024.8mp] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Entire contents (C) 1996 by Individual, Inc., 8 New England Executive Park West, Burlington, MA 01803 - Phone: (800) 414-1000 or (617) 273-6000, FAX: (800) 417-1000 or (617) 273-6060. ----- ____________________________ Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu | WWW Home Page: | USC Graduate School of Business | http:// | "Did you really think you could call up the | www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle/| Devil and ask him to behave?" ---------------------------- -Fox Mulder on T.V.'s "X-Files" speaking to an occult practitioner Southern Cal--Rose Bowl Champions, 1996!!

Anyone with Japanese contacts or Japanese Mail |> order (with English speaking sales reps, please) It's my experience that IBM will not sell a product outside its intended market. IBM Japan told me no-way when I wanted to order a US-market 755CX (I didn't want the Japanese-market keyboard), and IBM USA told me no-way when I asked that they ship one here. <> I just checked IBM-Japan's home page (http://www.ibm.co.jp/) and the Japanese pages are really rinky-dink -- no information at all. The English pages seem to have more, including a link on the Palm Top. The PT page (http://www.ibm.co.jp/jpccinfo/thinkpad/palm_110) is in Japanese, but it has a picture. I wonder why this wasn't on the Japanese page??? Mmm, the English page hasn't been updated for four months -- maybe they just never took it off. Now that I've seen the picture, I remember seeing (and playing with) this thing in the store once. I remember being impressed with something about how you can very quickly zoom to the area around the cursor to make things more readable. Don't remember much else. I do think it was smaller than it seems to be in the picture (the model must be very dainty, or at least have a hand that is), but it's not in the same league as HP's Palmtop, in either size (much bigger than HP) or power (much more than HP). Anyway, on http://www.ibm.co.jp/ibmj_eng/contacts.html I find: Japan Product Support Desk (JPSD) - The JPSD's mission is to provide question and answer support for IBM customers and business partners outside Japan using Japanese versions of IBM products (primarily PC and workstation software such as DOS/V, AmiPro/J, Win/J, etc.). Please contact the JPSD by FAX or Email. FAX: 81-44-200-8646 Email: jpsd@vnet.ibm.com so go for it. Note that Japan is 14 hours (half a day + two hours) ahead of EDT...

Frankly, as a networking kinda guy, I think it's likely to have something to do with the TTL values, lost packets, or corruption of the transmission. I think the MWave 28.8 is buggy, in short. I'm wondering if the 14.4 code paths are the same as they used to be, but the 28.8 paths are all new and have some timing problems (my suspicion at this point).

I have a 755Cs with 8 MB of ram and I upgraded to windows 95 less than a month ago. Everything is working pretty smoothly except for one thing. I am unable to suspend/resume my computer or place it in hibernation mode. Prior to installation of win 95, i ran the win 95 update and the sytps141 disk from the ibm ftp site and those seemed to work fine. i didn't have ftp access for a month and so i couldn't download the updated utility disks and stuff. Now, I have done that too and all my files have been updated. However, I still cannot enter hibernation mode or suspend it. I am running win 95 with ms plus and qemm 8 and magnaram 2. is there some option that I'm missing to get it to work? I've looked under the general faq of this list but was unable to find any relevant information. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. paul From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Fri Jan 19 11:56:20 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA16960; Fri, 19 Jan 96 11:56:20 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id LAA17572; Fri, 19 Jan 1996 11:53:01 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Fri, 19 Jan 1996 11:49:12 -0500 Received: from biobase.dk by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id LAA17132; Fri, 19 Jan 1996 11:48:59 -0500 Received: by biobase.dk; id AA04603; Fri, 19 Jan 1996 17:50:04 +0100 From: Paulo Magalhaes Message-Id: <9601191650.AA04603@biobase.dk> Subject: TP750Cs memory upgrade To: tp750@cs.utk.edu Date: Fri, 19 Jan 1996 17:50:04 +0100 (MET) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Hi! My old faithful TP750Cs deserves a little more memory, to serve me a little better. At the moment it has 8Mb [4 (internal) + 4 (IBM IC-DRAM card; P/N 40G1838)]. Now, if I remember right, there are two ways to go about this: 1) a new DRAM card, or 2) a DIMM adapter and 1 or 2 DIMM cards. Has this list taught me correctly?... What are the pros and cons of each alternative? Does anyone have rough prices for different cards (16 or 32 Mb)? And, while I'm at it, what does one do with the old 4 Mb card?!...

If you disable the Trackpoint in the ThinkPad setup under Keyboard_Pointing Device, the Glidepoint works with pad tapping. However, unless there is some trick, this change requires a reboot (NOT plug and play), so whenever I detatch from my port replicator, I will have to shutdown and restart. This isn't what I had in mind, so I may have to give up on the Glidepoint tap function. If anyone knows of a way to turn the Trackpoint on and off without rebooting, please let me know (ie...is there a trackpoint plug and play driver that has a manual switch for enable/disable?)

This is a real problem since you have to suspend the machine to change floppy/CD-ROM drive. What typically happens is that, on return from suspend, the keyboard and mouse look totally locked up (I'm using an external glidepoint and APM is at advanced). This may also happen occasionally with hibernate, though I haven't tested that fully yet. I have been removing the power before doing a manual suspend (after opening the cover while port replicated). This seems to work the first time, then sometimes fail if I have to do it a second time. Now that I am done whining...have others had a similar problem? Is this a glitch with the IBM bios that they know about or not, and in any case needs to be fixed? And does anyone have a workaround for now? My goal is to have a machine I (A) take in the office, connect to PCMCIA net and port replicator, power on from hibernate, work, suspend, disconnect from PCMCIA and port replicator, go home and work (whatever), hibernate, comeback to office and start from A.

Although my symptoms aren't as bad as yours, my ThinkPad 755CX running Windows 95 also behaves differently with the AC attached. Without the AC, everything works as expected. With the AC, I can suspend, but cannot hibernate. Also, I have safe suspend turned on, and when I suspend without AC, all works as expected; without AC, the machine suspends, but doesn't save the safe-suspend file. My workaround, as yours, is to unplug the AC before I need to hibernate or safe-suspend. As soon as the machine starts writing the hibernation file, I can plug it back in again. I don't have the problem of the workaround becoming unreliable after a couple of times. It is pretty clear there are some bugs here.

Probably because those of us who owned them paid so darn much for them that we can't bear to see them sell for so little! ;-) By the way, over the life of the TP750 series, I have seen *several* of them in the Classified's section of the L.A.

I have Win95 running very well on my 750Cs. now it's time to make it do neat tricks (or at least try :) I have it connected via a PCMCIA Ethernet card to my lab's NT 3.51 network. I can share printers and connect network drives. I have a gateway service running on one NT server and therefore get full Net access. I can also map a remote CDROM to a specific drive letter and use it from my 'Pad. There are two things that I would like to do, and haven't been able to do them yet. The first one is to start a backup of my local drive on a remote tape w/o going to the remote machine (I can do it from there). I'm guessing that I just need some software, but haven't found anything to support our Exabyte DAT drive (from Win95) The second thing, and perhaps more difficult, is that I would like to fool Win95 into thinking that it has a local CDROM drive and map it to the network drive. Occasionally, if I try to run some software from the CDROM, it starts but at some point it will stop saying that it can't detect the CD Drive. I think that I have traced this to the registry (there is no way to select a drive there under the CD subheadings) but can't figure out a way around it... anyone has any pointers on this matter?

I'm inclined to doubt this, though I never tried it. Reason being is that this is a very seperate, discrete component--virtually no interface with the computer at all. Based on that, I doubt you can re-direct the output to the external video jack. >does the ibm adaptor receive pal and/or secam in addition to ntsc ? I'm pretty certain it does not do PAL--only NTSC (at least that's all it mentions in the manual). >does the ibm adaptor convert audiovisual a/v cable signals? In what sense? Yes, you can plug RCA-type Video & Audio-in cables in you wish to view a tape from a video camera (for instance). But you cannot capture these for computer use--viewing using the whole screen only. ----- ____________________________ Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu | WWW Home Page: | USC Graduate School of Business | http:// | "Did you really think you could call up the | www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle/| Devil and ask him to behave?" ---------------------------- -Fox Mulder on T.V.'s "X-Files" speaking to an occult practitioner Southern Cal--Rose Bowl Champions, 1996!!

Could they be extremely buggy, and each time IBM puts them on the site and then finds some nasty problem with them?? personally, the win16 drivers work well enough that i am not certain i want to run non-officially resleased alpha software drivers... could the folks who grabbed a copy please post here how well they do or dont work. thanks. what other motivation could IBM possibly have for yanking them off ? anyone from IBM on this list care to comment? >At 06:44 1/22/96 +0000, you wrote: >>Just checked and these files are gone.

Yes, definitely. Battery, floppy or cdrom drive, etc. They are not needed to observe and repair your problem, shipping is safer especially without the battery (it's heavy) and this way nothing can get lost. The AC supply should be included, as it's part of this problem. IBM also includes a checklist wherein you can indicate whatever you do leave in that isn't part of the basic machine itself. Billy Y..

It had some error with playing the .WAV sound I'd associated with that event. Now, it cleanly empties the "recycle bin" silently if I'm using the MWave modem. My connections also seem to be a little more stable. Is it worth a huge effort to obtain and install the Win95 MWave drivers? Probably not. I installed them largely because I was reinstalling everything anyway. If I were still working as a Sysadmin, I'd put the files up for anon FTP; but I'm just a lowly student now. If anyone has a site they want to put the files on, I'd be happy to upload them. One other thing I noticed, not related to the MWave, but a big reason for why I wiped and rebuilt my 755cx's disk, is that I can now suspend WITH my 3Com 3c589b PCMCIA ethernet card inserted and active. The previous setup was such that if I was running on AC power, I had to "stop" and physically remove the card in order to suspend my thinkpad. After installing Win95 on a cleanly formatted disk, it will suspend with the card inserted and active; it will only disallow suspending if another machine has my hard disk "mapped". It doesn't seem to have any difficulties if the card is removed while the machine is suspended, such as taking the laptop to the library. NOW, I'm impressed. :) -- Lew At 10:11 AM 1/22/96 -0600, you wrote: >... could the folks who grabbed a copy >please post here how well they do or dont work. thanks. >--------- >Todd Tannenbaum >CAE Model Advanced Facility >email: tannenba@engr.wisc.edu ph: 608-262-3118 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lew Jansen lrj2@cornell.edu From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Mon Jan 22 13:13:35 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA23648; Mon, 22 Jan 96 13:13:35 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id NAA00786; Mon, 22 Jan 1996 13:11:07 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Mon, 22 Jan 1996 13:10:03 -0500 Received: from nvc.cc.ca.us by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id NAA00555; Mon, 22 Jan 1996 13:09:57 -0500 Received: by nvc.cc.ca.us (NX5.67e/NeXT-2.0-FZ-2.2) id AA19359; Mon, 22 Jan 96 10:09:22 -0800 Received: by marauder.nvc.cc.ca.us (NX5.67f2/NeXT-2.0-FZ-2.2) id AA00423; Mon, 22 Jan 96 10:07:49 -0800 From: "Chris Osborn" Date: Mon, 22 Jan 1996 10:07:48 PST Reply-To: fozztexx@nvc.cc.ca.us To: "Todd Tannenbaum" Subject: Re: The Elusive MWave for Win95 is back!

I grabbed a copy of the files as soon as I saw the message. I previously had no modem support using the Windows 2.0 drivers under the 1.40 BIOS. As soon as I put the Win95 drivers on, the modem started working again, at least sorta. I still haven't been able to actually get a 28.8 connection with it.

The answer to your question is however that your Thinkpad more than likely is working just fine. The problem is with the tip of the AC plug that attaches to your Thinkpad. It is a removeable plug that IBM normally replaces. If you can't afford the time to drop into an IBM service depot, just use a pointy device and wedge the end off. The contacts on the side of the plug need to be crimped outward a bit and then just reattach the plug back into the socket. I experienced this problem first hand and watched them repair it. Like I said, they normally replace the part but if you can't afford the time, it's something than can be easily accomplished in 2 minutes. By the way, if anyone has a loose display panel on their 755XX model, don't wait to get it tightened. While it is possible to tighten the display panel yourself, it can be troublesome to get the cover off. It's best left up to the IBM techies who can do it within 10 minutes. No need to drop off your machine, as they can repair it on site. The reason for tightening the display? The technician said, if it gets any looser, it could damage the hinge mechanism. I watched them tighten my 755CX on-site and noticed the 4 screws which required tightening. Consider yourself warned! :) Hope this is helpful... patrick > Hi, I have a 755CD which is about 6 months old. The connection for the AC > adapter is becoming flaky.

Has anyone else had this problem? Can IBM fix >it? Its under warranty--of course it can be fixed (or replaced). Are you sure it is the computer's-end plug, or is it the cable you're sticking into it? I know I had a similar problem with my 750C a year or so ago--that little "spark arrester" thing near the end of the cable was twisted to often that it wore an opening in the plug so the wires were exposed. A quick call in and I received a new one--no questions asked. I sent the old one back. This is the kind of service that you pay that huge premium on an IBM ThinkPad for--and I really like it. Had it happened with my old Sharp notebook computer I wouldn't even have a phone number to call, let alone that kind of quick service. > Also if I have to send my tp in, should I remove things like the hard >drive, extra memory, etc? Yes--don't send in anything that is easily removable unless that removable item requires repair.

This happens when the TP is docked with the screen closed, and then the screen is opened while it is still on and docked, followed by closing the screen. The suspend light is off, yet nothing can "wake" up the TP. I can't undock it, reboot it, or turn it off.. even when I pulled the plug out from the dockII, the battery power still keeps the TP on this strange mode. My only solution was to open the compartment and take out the battery. Does anybody else have the same problem? My co-worker also expriences the same thing under Win95. I tried doing it under Win3.1 and TP still behaved normally. The BIOS installed is the latest one (1.40). Any suggestion?

I am not sure if it is yet time for a petition, but it sounds like the Suspend on thinkpad 755's is messed up. My characterization is that Suspend fails (almost always?) when it is invoked and the power supply is attached. Hybernation also typically fails since it appears to invoke Suspend before it completes to hybernation. Another glitch is that if you suspend with the clamshell closed (when port replicated or docked), you unsuspend when you open the clamshell which wastes time to redo the suspend (this often will happen with 755CD and 760CD owners that need to change floppy/CD on a docked system). Can we ask IBM folks if the following can be corrected?: --Fix bios/whatever to do a clean suspend when power supply is attached? --Disable unsuspend on clamshell open when suspend on clamshell closed has been selected from the power control panel? Is that all we need? IT doesn't sound like a lot to ask...

It isn't clear to me exactly which model(s) Mike is talking about having problems with. The problems with A/C attached have been with the TP series since at least the 750 family. I personally gave up on Hibernation when I upgraded my 750 RAM to 20Meg and felt I didn't have enough disk space to handle the hibernation file and also lacked the patience to deal with the problems hibernation had. I have never missed it. With the 755CE, I found that the suspend on A/C problems continued, until I installed SYTPE140 BIOS. Of course, to be fair, around that time, I also installed the Mwave 2.0 stuff, which made the Mwave modem functions work, which meant that I could yank my XJ2144 PCMCIA modem. Way back in the back of my mind, I have this feeling that whenever I had no PCMCIA cards inserted, that suspend on A/C worked. So, maybe it isn't a fix in the BIOS, but rather the fact that I don't currently need a PCMCIA card. Before this, I had resigned myself to the fact that I would have to unplug before suspending, rather than unplug after suspending. No big deal. Ron.

Using hte keyboard controls I can suspend but never hibernate. Using the pushbuttons on the "Fuel" tool, I can suspend, and I can hibernate *after* I have gone through one suspend cycle. It's not an ideal situation, but I had to play around with thing a lot to get them so they would work even that well.

No big deal. > >Ron. > > > I have a 755CD where having a working suspend/hybernate is more critical since you need to use at least suspend to swap between floppy and CD-ROM drives. I actually have my system working "reliably" with suspend or hybernate so long as a) I turn off the 3com PCMCIA ethernet card before hybernating (usually I don't have to do this for suspend) b) I make sure the cover is open before I suspend if I was going to open it anyway (say to change a drive) c) I pull the power connector or turn off the power to the power supply before hitting the suspend or hybernate icons. Then these glitches still occur: 1) Sometimes (?not always) putting in the CD-ROM drive after suspend locks up the mouse (either glidepoint or trackpoint). This is assuming I am swapping from floppy to CD-ROM. It doesn't seem to lock up going the other way around (from CD-ROM to floppy) 2) The battery state goes a little haywire. When I plug power back in, the battery wants to discharge even though it is 99%, and the hours remaining often goes into the flashing (8.88) mode. All of this is under WIN95. I can live with most of this (except the mouse locking up) to save the rather excessive time of doing a reboot each time I have to move the machine. I think I have the latest BIOS (I think it is 1.40 needed for WIN95), and that didn't seem to help. Also, hybernate seems to do a suspend, so if suspend works, hybernate generally will too, except for those devices that can't reliably be powered down (PCMCIA cards that don't quite plug and play).

The leap-second has to do with the fact that the length of a day varies a bit. The rules about leap-years have to do with the number of days it takes for the earth to rotate around the sun.

This device driver checks to see if a Thinkpad Space Saver keyboard with Trackpoint is plugged in externally and disables the internal Trackpoint III if one is detected. This looks exactly like what those of us with Glidepoints need to automatically disable the Trackpoint III when we plug in the Glidepoint by itself or with a dock/replicator, assuming plugging something like that in is close enough to "simulating" a Space Saver Keyboard to initiate the qutomatic switch. I tried to UNREM this line and nothing seems to happen. Bootlog doesn't give an error, but there is no indication that $ibmhipd is loaded in memory when doing the mem command. Is there something I am missing here? Does anyone have any additional details about this driver that says it is somehow incompatible with Win95? Has anyone successfully used it on Win 95 (or otherwise for that matter)? Is the leading $ somehow significant for the loading and visibility of the load in memory? Does the driver only load at bootup if it detects the specific conditions (Thinkpad Space Saver keyboard attached) at boot time, meaning it won't do it dynamically and that it really is specific to detecting this one model keyboard? This looks practically perfect for the need, but it just doesn't seem to load...

The parts you want are: Rail Kit for mounting CD in 1/2 Height Bay, Part# 85F009 Cost is 11.75 + $4-5.00 for shipping. You have to get it from the IBM Parts Order Center in Boulder, 800-388-7080. We just received our new IBM 1.08GB SCSI drives today. price was $305.00 plus shipping from PC Direct (1-800-426-2968). Part Number is 06H8891. They were in stock last week. You will also need the SCSI Device Installation kit, Part #66G3538. Cost is, I think $65.00, though maybe more like $105.00. They sent us the wrong installation kit initially so that's why I am not sure about the price. Very simple installation, takes about 15 minutes. The installation kit instructions reference only the Dock I, don't worry, it works fine w/ Dock II. You won't need the SCSI cable provided with the install kit as your Dock II already has a cable to make the connection.

I was wondering if the SCSI cable that was included in the kit was a standard 50-PIN SCSI cable on both ends or was one end the mini 50-pin conection like the IDE interface. I order kit #84G5253 and the cable included was a standard 50-pin on both side. I'm using a Dock I and the SCSI connection is a mini 50 pin just like the mini 60-pin IDE interface. thanks in advance for the info.. -john sterni@scf.usc.edu From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Tue Jan 23 21:51:57 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA12078; Tue, 23 Jan 96 21:51:57 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id VAA23593; Tue, 23 Jan 1996 21:50:44 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Tue, 23 Jan 1996 21:47:51 -0500 Received: from smtp1.interramp.com by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id VAA23350; Tue, 23 Jan 1996 21:47:47 -0500 Received: from .interramp.com by smtp1.interramp.com (8.6.12/SMI-4.1.3-PSI-irsmtp) id VAA18252; Tue, 23 Jan 1996 21:47:45 -0500 Date: Tue, 23 Jan 96 18:44:15 PST From: Fred Peters Subject: FW: misdirected mail To: tp750@cs.utk.edu X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-Mailer: Chameleon 4.6, TCP/IP for Windows, NetManage Inc.

If Scott has none of the above, make the system floppy, and buy a bunch of additional floppies and start copying. :) Good luck, Vince On Jan 26, 11:04am, Lolo LaSida wrote: > Subject: Re: need good ideas for transferring hard drive contents > > The best way is just to laplink the whole image of your original drive. > > >-- End of excerpt from Lolo LaSida -- Vince Wayland Onsite at The National Environmental Supercomputer Center (517)894-7671 for Cray Research, Inc. veg@nesc.epa.gov NESC, 135 Washington Ave., Bay City, MI 48708 From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Fri Jan 26 11:39:15 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA28226; Fri, 26 Jan 96 11:39:15 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id LAA06237; Fri, 26 Jan 1996 11:37:09 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Fri, 26 Jan 1996 11:36:33 -0500 Received: from eros.britain.eu.net by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id LAA06159; Fri, 26 Jan 1996 11:36:28 -0500 Received: from 192.100.144.1 by eros.britain.eu.net with SMTP (PP) id ; Fri, 26 Jan 1996 16:35:51 +0000 Received: from tiree.quantime.co.uk (tiree) by quantime.co.uk; Fri, 26 Jan 1996 16:33:59 GMT Message-Id: <24596.199601261637@tiree.quantime.co.uk> Received: from lajudd.quantime.co.uk by tiree.quantime.co.uk; Fri, 26 Jan 1996 16:37:15 GMT X-Sender: ajudd@tiree.quantime.co.uk X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.1.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Fri, 26 Jan 1996 16:40:21 -0500 To: "scott.newman" From: Alex Judd Subject: Re: need good ideas for transferring hard drive contents Cc: tp750@cs.utk.edu BTW the fastest way to do this is to dump it all over a network (Thinkpad to Thinkpad) or (Thinkpad - Temporary store - Thinkpad).

It's a beautiful unit and I am enamored with it really. Anyway, I spent the day dutifully building disk sets and then wiping the drive clean. Certain of my uses require that I reluctantly give OS/2 the axe in favor of Win95. Now I have done a clean '95 Install. Things seem to work pretty well, with a few minor glitches which I assume can be chalked up to pilot error. Perhaps you all could point me in the right direction: 1) Can I get the Win95 CD-ROM 755cx Video Driver to make use of the entire screen? I successfully got the Windows 3.11 drivers to work this way, but given the fact that any 16 Bit Code slows EVERYTHING down, I'd much rather use the 32 Bit driver *if* I can make it use all 10.4 inches of this great display. 2) '95 sees my Dock II's PCMCIA slots but mt Network card won't work in either of them. It works fine in the laptop's onboard slots. No conflicts are in evidence. Ideas? (The card worked fine in the Dock when I used a 360ce.) Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Yes. Go into Display in Control Panel. Make sure that you have the Display Type properly set,and the 755cx driver selected.

For this, make sure that you've enabled the 32-bit PCMCIA drivers. Control Panel, System, Performance -- it should give you the option of adding the 32-bit PCMCIA drivers (REM them out of your DOS files if you want). Reboot. You should be very happy!

Why? 2) I *still* haven't gotten my Ethernet card to function in the Dock II's PC Card slots, regardless of the fact that I'm using the 32 Bit '95 PC Card drivers and '95 does see the slots. I get an error that says, "Your Ethernet Adapter is not installed correctly. You may need to reinstall." The card functions fine in the CX's slots, and used to work great in the Dock when I used it with my 360ce under '95. Ideas? 3) I have the MWave 2.0 for DOS drivers installed but I get a Bad Command or File Name error on the AUTOEXEC line that says CALL MWAVE START NOSHOW. Note that I have the drivers installed only in the DOS AUTOEXEC and not the '95 one, so that it will only load the DOS drivers when I restart in DOS. The '95 MWave drivers for '95 work wonderfully. * Side Note: Has anyone designed a little app for '95 that detects a machine's docked/undocked status and loads a particular startup group depending on what it sees? This would be VERY useful I think. I would like to auto-load my E-Mail Checking program when docked, (connected to the network), and not load it when I am not. Suggestions? Volunteers?

Try deleting the card from the registry and letting Win95 autodetect/config it. I had to do this to a Xircom card after I changed the IRQ for NT and OS/2. The config info is stored in the registry for this card. ken From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Tue Jan 30 00:48:47 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA20626; Tue, 30 Jan 96 00:48:47 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id AAA21613; Tue, 30 Jan 1996 00:48:12 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Tue, 30 Jan 1996 00:44:46 -0500 Received: from news.connectnet.com by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id AAA21353; Tue, 30 Jan 1996 00:44:31 -0500 Received: from max-lj-87.connectnet.com (max-lj-87.connectnet.com [204.252.3.87]) by news.connectnet.com (8.7.3/CN-CONFIG-0.3) with SMTP id VAA02118 for ; Mon, 29 Jan 1996 21:43:59 -0800 (PST) Received: by max-lj-87.connectnet.com with Microsoft Mail id <01BAEE92.DB5F4600@max-lj-87.connectnet.com>; Mon, 29 Jan 1996 21:43:41 -0800 Message-Id: <01BAEE92.DB5F4600@max-lj-87.connectnet.com> From: Joshua Gerber To: "'TP'" Subject: memory upgrade Date: Mon, 29 Jan 1996 21:43:21 -0800 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I still have that 8 meg IC DRAM card for a 75x TP, IBM part #40G0276, I'd like $275 or so for it.

However, I did find a new version of power.exe in the IBM ftp site under dos/util that is newer than the one that came with my TP. The file is d70power.zip. My first test seemed to come out better than before. But the second time I tried a suspend, my mouse/pointer locked up as usual. That seems to be the main lockup mode, and it may be due to problems with APM and the Glidepoint pointing device I use on my port replicator.

(The dock also has a 2 GB SCSI disk with Warp Connect on HPFS partition). The machine has 40 MB of RAM and the SVGA 800x600 display. Because of problems while doing this the first time, I built a boot floppy that had the SCSI driver and the CD ROM driver (from the Dock II diskette and the CD-ROM disk). I then did a floppy boot and an install from the CD-ROM. I have the 1.4 BIOS installed. The install went fine. Selected 800x600 hi color. Works fine in the dock. Selected 32-bit PCMCIA drivers. Installed Mwave for DOS 2.0. It complained about no autoexec.bat. Made a autoexec.bat file with a single REM line. Reinstalled Mwave DOS 2.0 without complaint. Installed Mwave for Win95 2.1. Installed MWave MIDI samples 1.0. Installed TP utilities. Shutdown and removed from the Dock II. Connected to a Port Replicator (one with PCMCIA slots). Started the 755CX - Win95 noticed the change and reconfigured itself. I changed the name to Port_Replicator rather than Dock2. I reselected 800x600 and hicolor. Rebooted and it came up fine. Shutdown. Disconnected from the Port Replicator. Powered up - Win95 noticed another change and reconfigured again calling it Undocked. I reselected 800x600 and hicolor. Rebooted and it came up fine. Shut down and put in the Dock II. It booted immediately into the Dock configuration! Installed MS Office Pro for 95/NT from CD - worked without a hitch. I can suspend when connected to the Port Replicator or undocked (have not tried in the Dock II yet) using the fuel icon suspend button or the Win95 button from the start menu. Have not tried hibernate (got to make the file first I suppose but it sure is BIG with 40 MB). Now if I can only figure out how to have the Win95 PPP connect to the Solaris 2.4 PPP at work (I can get a terminal open but I can't get PPP to work). Modem dials fine and I can login as a text mode user fine. I know the PPP works on the Solaris end and the TP hardware is fine as I have OS/2 Warp with PPP on another HD and it connects fine. Suggestions anyone? It seems that it is best to do a CLEAN install of Win95 without ANY real mode drivers if you can. The first attempt I made by using a disk with a DOS partition with Win 3.1 installed didn't work nearly as well (crashes, would not shut down, ...). Now for NT 3.51? or do I dare?

What are you using as your PPP driver on Solaris? You might need to write a script, depending on the login prompt and some other things. >Now for NT 3.51? or do I dare? Why?

On Jan 11 I wrote: There is a DOS utility out there that allows you to repartition on the fly. It hacks off some unused part of a pre-existing partition and makes a new partition out of it, leaving the old one untouched except for its size. I used it to create a partition on which I could put Linux. >From the Linux Install guide: NOTE: There is a non-destructive disk repartitioner available for MS- DOS, called FIPS. Look on sunsite.unc.edu in the directory /pub/Linux/system/Install. With FIPS, a disk optimizer (such as Norton Speed Disk), and a little bit of luck, you should be able to resize MS-DOS partitions without destroying the data on them. It's still suggested that you make a full backup before attempting this. Again, this is a DOS program that just happens to be useful if you want to create a partition to install Linux -- I don't believe that there's anything Linix-specific about it.

It works very well, within certain restrictions. The one thing it can't do is expand or shrink a partition beyond a cluster-size boundary. (e.g. you can't make a 300M partition a 100M partition and vice versa) You can slide partitions around though, so that you can shave some space off of one partition and give it to another one. -- Lew Jansen, lrj2@cornell.edu At 06:50 PM 1/30/96 -0800, you wrote: > >I still happened to have a brochure: > > Powerquest Corporation > P.O.

This tends to happen when I am communicating. Any suggestions on what I should do? I have installed the latest BIOS from Sys 1.40 disks." Is there any reason to think that this is other than what it says, namely a parity error? The reason for using parity memory is after all to detect parity errors! It seems quite likely that you have a bad memory module. Try reseating both the DIMM and its adapter.

There are 2 drivers for 32-bit operation: sparrow and sparrowX (alternate). The alternate driver gives a fatal error while loading. The other driver loads fine and appears to operate correctly... except that none of the attached devices (HD, CD-ROM, Zip drive) is detected. The card works without any problem with 16-bit drivers and with Linux. I read that the TP750 does not support Win95 plug-and-play. Is this a consequence of that ? Thanks for any help or comment, even about other PCMCIA cards.

Lots of small problems. But I hope some reader of the newsgroup can help me with the following big ones. Some of these may have been discussed in earlier months, before I joined the newsgroup. If people recall such discussion, could they point me in the right direction? Thanks for all help. 1. The hard disk in my machine (760 Meg) makes a continuous whine. I sent the machine back on EasyServe, and they replaced the HDD. But the technician observed that the new one made the same sound, and that "this is a problem IBM will have to address." I assume this means I am not the only person with the problem. Anyone else have success getting IBM to rectify it? 2. The keyboard on my 760C has a mushy feel unlike any other ThinkPad keyboard I've ever tried. EasyServe replaced the keyboard too, but the new one has exactly the same feel. About one time out of three, the space bar doesn't register a space: I have to really beat on it. The other keys also skip sometimes. Anyone have this problem? Any fixes? 3. When I am working in Windows (3.11) with Winword (6.0C) and put the machine into Suspend mode (Fn+F4), or when the machine goes into Suspend according to the ThinkPad Features time out that I set, I get a page fault when I resume: "Progman caused a Page Fault in module MWMPARSW.DLL at 0007:0450". The machine goes belly-up until I reboot. This happens regularly under the conditions described. Any ideas on how to prevent this? I'd be grateful for any assistance with these.

Problem: Make Warp, IBM credit card adaptor and SCSI Zip drive work together. (Imperfect) Solution: The file IOMGDRV.FLT that ships with their os2 drivers v.2.34 is not compatible with the IBM (aka Future Domain) FD16-700.ADD driver that ships with the IBM card. the solution is to REM out the BASEDEV=IOMGDRV.FLT statement in config.sys. You can then format/read/write 100 meg zip disks in FAT format, but you cannot use iomega's special high-speed format (Sounds like a HPFS-FAT crossbreed). You cannot use any of the zip tools, because these depend on their special format. Otherwise, everything works great. Iomega is working on this problem, and expects to have a solution soon. People considering this move should know that this configuration is not very fast. It is faster than a floppy, but *much* slower than even a slow hard-disk. I got the SCSI because I wanted speed (and I expect to get a CD at some point). In hind sight, I cannot imagine that the enhanced parallel port version could possibly be much slower, and it is more flexable. The speed problem could be the IBM card, the fact that I'm not using their zip format, or my expectations are too high :). In any case, 100 meg floppies are really nice. Thanks particularly to Chris Hanson, who gave me tips on how he installed the drive with an Adaptec card. By the way, he did not encounter the same problems with his Adaptec card that I did with my IBM. ---------------------------- Victor Kress Geophysical Laboratory 5251 Broad Branch Road N.W.

This is a bit of a tangent, but I recently put in an "ActionTec" SCSI card hooked to a Syquest 135 drive (which claims 13.5 ms, ~2.5mB/sec sustained transfer). I'm guessing the PCMCIA SCSI card is the limiting factor on transfer speed. The only time it is noticeably slower than the internal drive is on long reads like the movie file in the 755 demo program which gets rather jerky. It costs a bit more than a zip drive, but the 3.5 inch cartridges hold more, are cheaper/megabyte and its faster. Anyhow, the SCSI card said OS/2 Compatible in large letters across the box, but I haven't installed that driver yet. -Don Perley perley@cadence.com From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Thu Feb 1 16:48:58 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA00480; Thu, 1 Feb 96 16:48:58 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id QAA01485; Thu, 1 Feb 1996 16:46:50 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Thu, 1 Feb 1996 16:36:46 -0500 Received: from martigny.ai.mit.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id QAA00531; Thu, 1 Feb 1996 16:36:34 -0500 Received: from omerie.ai.mit.edu by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA00255; Thu, 1 Feb 96 16:36:18 -0500 Received: by omerie.ai.mit.edu id (Debian /\oo/\ Smail3.1.29.1 #29.33); Thu, 1 Feb 96 16:36 EST Message-Id: Date: Thu, 1 Feb 96 16:36 EST From: cph@martigny.ai.mit.edu (Chris Hanson) To: kress@ctpsun.ciw.edu Cc: tp750@cs.utk.edu In-Reply-To: Msg of Thu, 1 Feb 1996 11:28:59 +0100 from kress@ctpsun.ciw.edu (Victor Kress) Subject: Followup: Warp SCSI installation Date: Thu, 1 Feb 1996 11:28:59 +0100 From: kress@ctpsun.ciw.edu (Victor Kress) People considering this move should know that this configuration is not very fast. It is faster than a floppy, but *much* slower than even a slow hard-disk. I got the SCSI because I wanted speed (and I expect to get a CD at some point). FYI, my experience with the Zip drive under OS/2 is that it is _very_ slow. I believe this has nothing to do with the drive, or whether it is SCSI vs. parallel, but is almost entirely a problem with the OS/2 disk driver. The real problem is that the FAT disk cache is not used for removable devices -- obvious, when you consider that a floppy could be ejected at any moment -- and that access to the FAT file system is quite slow without a cache. I am able to get similar miserable performance out of this drive under DOS when I disable the disk cache. In contrast, DOS with a cache has very reasonable performance. Linux is even better, but Linux has particularly effective disk caching integrated into the kernel, so it's not quite fair to compare it to the other systems.

As your system has never known about Win 3.1, I guess that you are using 32-bit drivers (Sparrow.mpd or SparrowX.mpd). You can verify it in the device manager. If it works, I would advice you to keep things unchanged. The new driver mainly adds tuning parameters, like disconnect/reselect, synchronous/asynchronous transfert, number of LUNs, etc. Excerpt from the Readme file: 4. Advantages over SPARROW(X).MPD ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This driver is designed specifically for your Bus Toaster. It will work with any version of the card. This version will also work for the Toast 'n Jam card and the NOTEWORTHY Bus Toaster. It also contains the following enhancements: - Smart termination to conserve your laptop's battery power. - Easy configuration of SCSI driver parameters in Device Manager via the Options property page. - Better support for hot-ejection of the card. BTW, how do you use the Zip drive ? Guest95 seems to look only for IOmega SCSI adapters (but it may be a consequence of my other problems, which I haven't solved yet).

Does anyone know who makes/sells a connector that goes from standard IDE to a Thinkpad hard drive connector? Also, has anyone had any experience using these?

While they can still refer y ou to the proper resource, they are out of the laptop business. Pity because our company purchased our 7 755cx's, plus peripherals, from PCDirect and were generally pleased with the service and prices.

Yes, I do find it skipping occasionally but on the other hand it is > MUCH quieter than the keyboards on other thinkpads. When I first received my 755CE it had an occasional probelm with keys not working - that is while the key was struck nothing happened, then the for at least the next few 100 times it worked fine, then it'd fail again. This was fairly random and happened with many keys, although it was just about impossible to purposefully reproduce. I finally sent it in and and got a new keyboard, which for a few months worked great - now it may be starting the same thing again. It's hard to tell as I type lightly and the throw of the keys seems a bit long.. One thing I would like to know is how the throw (how far down one must press before the key works) on the 760 compares? And is anyone else having the above problem on the 755? Thanks, Billy Y..

I'm not sure what the exact difference was, but the key travel may have been a bit smaller. Anyway it's a very subjective matter; try for yourself and decide which you like better. Or if you buy a 760 without trying it first, don't be surprised when you find it's different.

I'm trying to get Linux to talk to a BusToaster PCMCIA SCSI II card to which I want to connect a Panasonic KXL720 PCMCIA CD-ROM (no native Linux driver for this machine, but it should talk regular SCSI). I'll also want to connect a SCSI ZIP or SYQUEST unit someday. I've read the basic docs on SCSI and CDROMs for Linux, but I've got some pretty fundamental questions yet. I'd appreciate it if someone in the know could tell me: (a) What SCSI controller does the Bus Toaster emulate? (b) What class of generic CDROM driver support do I use to access the Panasonic? (c) What LILO or loadlin command line do you use? This looks like stuff of marginal interest to most of this community, so an e-mail response is probably preferable. I'd be glad to post a working response. I'm using kernel 1.3.56 right now. Thanks, Eugene Fiume.

I was trying to get the above stuff running on "vanilla" Linux without inherent PCMCIA support. It simply isn't worth it. I wasted a couple of hours doing that. Then I downloaded David Hinds' pcmcia package, compiled and installed it. Installed the modules package, and rebooted. After literally 30 minutes including download time I had a functioning plug-and-play system that understands the above configuration and then some. I've never seen such a good excuse for loadable modules as pcmcia plug and play, and Hinds' package appears to be excellent. Eugene Fiume.

In my case, its still a fixed SCSI HD, but I also have a removable SCSI HD--not that it should make any difference to the software (it doesn't to any other software). The key might be this difference: Do you *boot* off your SCSI HD? In the case of having a mixed environment (i.e. IDE & SCSI drives), you have to boot off the IDE and use drivers to handle the SCSI drive(s). I'm thinking the fact that the SCSI drives (in my case) are driver-driven might prevent Parition Magic from doing its thing. ----- ____________________________ Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu | WWW Home Page: | USC Graduate School of Business | http:// | "Did you really think you could call up the | www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle/| Devil and ask him to behave?" ---------------------------- -Fox Mulder on T.V.'s "X-Files" speaking to an occult practitioner Southern Cal--Rose Bowl Champions, 1996!!

Believe it or not, yes. I saw this behavior on my old PowerBook when I went on vacation for a week+ and came back to see my e-mail app still up and running. When I closed it, there was an e-mail ghost on all of my other apps. However, the effects of the 'burn' seem to dissipate with time and are not quite as marked as those on CRT's. I think it relates to a 'memory' effect in the liquid crystal.

No. Its an LCD--not a CRT with "glowing" phosphors that can be burned-in. You therefore have no need for a screensaver or anything of that nature. Although there is a remote possibility that your backlight could burn out, but that's another issue (and a very unlikely one--your machine will be long obsolete before that's a concern--especially the way you cycle through them, Robert!). ----- ____________________________ Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu | WWW Home Page: | USC Graduate School of Business | http:// | "Did you really think you could call up the | www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle/| Devil and ask him to behave?" ---------------------------- -Fox Mulder on T.V.'s "X-Files" speaking to an occult practitioner Southern Cal--Rose Bowl Champions, 1996!!

I live an work in the Southern California, (San Fernando Valley) area. I am a department manager, (safety, health, environmental affairs and security), in a C3I division of an aerospace/defense corporation. I have been using a TP 750C for almost 2 years. The TP is pretty much as it came out of the box, 8MB RAM, 350MB HDD. There is a 14.4 fax/modem in one slot and a Xircom ethernet card in the other. The company uses Banyan Vines as a network operating system. After a few month of trying to keep a desktop PC and my TP in synch vis-a-vis files and programs I gave up the desktop and now use the TP as my primary machine without an external display. The only problem I have had in almost 2 years with the TP is a TrackPoint malfunction. The TP went to IBM's Easy Service via FedEx, spent a day there, and a day on the road back to me. Great service, under warranty, and about as hassle free as anything is these days.

I was still having problems with the Glidepoint (and trackpoint III) pointing devices locking up after a restart from suspend. This is after changing the power.exe to a newer version. I also saw on News that someone using a Logitech with the Logitech driver was having the same problem in the same way (after resume from suspend, the pointer freezes once it centers on the screen). I have (tentatively) concluded that the fault is with the Glidepoint (and Logitech) driver software. I assume that those drivers are not fully APM aware and therefore have spurious faults due to interrupt states or recovery of registers or whatever when restarting from suspend. I completely removed the Glidepoint driver and went back to the PS/2 mouse driver. I had to modify mouse.ini to have only two lines: [mouse] MouseType=PS2 (Glidepoint put a bunch of stuff in that made the mouse jerky). The glidepoint now works fine as a basic PS/2 mouse replacement. That seems to have cleared up the lockup problem (so far). I of course lost any chance of using tap click mouse operations on the Glidepoint. Hopefully, Glidepoint will fix their driver to work properly with the ThinkPad APM. It would also be nice if it knew enough to disable the Trackpoint interference when it was detected and thus allow tap click mouse operations. I will try to call Alps some time about this. I couldn't get into conferences on the Alps BBS, so I don't know if this has been discussed there.

Wel, as I was looking throught some tech supp. docs I saw this: If you are using a SCSI harddrive with SCSI utilities, you cannot use the DOS FDISK or FORMAT commands that make use of INT13h. The reason for this is that the Bus Toaster does not support using the INT13h interface. Instead, you must use the format utility which came with the CORELSCSI software. This was in the Docs to the New Media Bus Toaster PCMCIA SCSI. I am not sure about other SCSI controllers. Just thought I'd through this in for gerneral use. BTW, I have a Bus Toaster that i iuse for hooking my Zip Drive up to my 701C in Win 95 it works great! I have also connected it to a regular old SCIS HD powerd by an other machine and it worked fine too, even withthe zip drive too. I didn't format or FDISK the HD though, just copied files.

Several days ago, the machine beeped several times and went on "battery" power, while still connected to the inverter. When the battery fully discharged, the power brick still wouldn't provide external power- even when plugged into the wall. That evening, I again tried plugging the power brick into the wall and was rewarded with external power and a recharge of the battery. The following day, I again plugged the power brick into the car's inverter and got flashing lights, reboots and the screen flickering between high and low intensity. Logic would dictate that the inverter was at fault. However, there are several unanswered questions. 1) Why would the external power not be available the first time I tried powering the brick from a wall socket. It had almost 2-1/2 hours to "cool down" if such a thing would be necessary. 2) I have had problems intermittently with the "refresh" cycle. When I tell the machine to cycle the battery, it discharges, but fails to recharge until I depress the red button in the back of the machine. 3) I wiggled the plug at the laptop and all seems to be tight.

By the way, how would I get around the same problem if I am booting from bootdisk. My harddisk is 1.2 G and I found out a bit too late to set a small partition < 1024 cylinder to put lilo on, so meanwhile lilo is having problem because it was installed in the same linux partition which sit in partition much greater than 1024 cylinder.

Laplink was mentioned as were a few other ideas. Here's something I tried this past weekend and it appears to have worked surprisingly well (considering Win95 was involved!). I did this to move a disk setup containing DOS/Win31 & Win95 (installed in separate directories with multiboot capability) from a 540MB to an 810MB disk. (This disk did NOT have OS/2 installed, nor were any partitions compressed whatsoever.) 1. With Win95 running, I grabbed doslfn10.zip from SimTel PC archives. This was the key to my even undertaking this exercise since Win95-based backup packages still scare me to death. doslfnbk seems to know how to back up and restore Win95 long file names, saving them to a nice simple file. Using it offered me several significant benefits: - I can boot my old Emergency/Backup disk from DOS 6/Win 31 to perform the backup/restore. - I can use my 'ol reliable already-paid-for DOS-based backup utility that knows all about SCSI backup devices (disk/tape/...), or even such staples as good 'ol pkzip 2.04g. - I don't have any trouble loading the SCSI drivers for my parallel-port SCSI adapter which Win95 pukes on. - I don't have to load *any* software on the new hard drive just to do the restore. This saves a *lot* of floppy swapping for such ilk, since I'd normally have to load: DOS 5, DOS 6.22 upgrade, Win31, Win95 upgrade, topped off with still-buggy Win95 backup software. What kinda drugs is Microsoft on that they expect users to do this? No wonder Win95 ain't catchin' on in corporate circles! - doslfnbk is based on an approach Microsoft has "blessed" by their providing a similar lfnbk tool on the retail Win95 CD. doslfnbk is much easier to use than Microsoft's tool, which requires finagling with Win95 registry settings before backing up LFN's and after restoring them. doslfnbk also runs on pre-Win95 versions of DOS. I heard about this tool through a local users group rag (BCS PC Report, current issue) and found it by searching for "doslfn10.zip" using DEC's blazingly fast Web search tool (http://altavista.digital.com), but don't recall the URLs of the file itself). I unzip'd & install doslfnbk.exe on my existing harddisk in C:\ and read it readme.txt documentation. 2. I reread doslfnbk's readme.txt file, memorizing it. 3. I probably should have backed up my registry and emptied my Recycle Bin in preparation for the backup, but didn't. Not doing the latter caused some minor but easily recoverable problems later on (see step 12). 4. I rebooted Win95 to DOS mode (Command Prompt). Ran doslfnbk per the instructions on each of my logical partitions on my harddrive (I had partitioned it into large C: and small D: thinking someday I might want to compress C: while still having some uncompressed space available on D:). 5. I booted my 'ol DOS/Win31 Emergency Boot Disk which contained my old reliable backup software: the simplistic TMATE II that came bundled with my Trantor parallel-port SCSI adapter. I then proceeded to back up both my C: and D: partitions to an Exabyte 8mm SCSI tape drive. If I had a SCSI disk with enough space handy, I probably could have chosen to back up to disk using pkzip 2.04g or Win95's xcopy (for the latter, you'll have to boot from Win95 Emergency disk instead, since I'm pretty sure earlier versions of xcopy don't handle hidden/system files well). I think command lines for using either of these would look something like the following (but did not test): pkzip -r -p -whs e:\c-backup.zip c:\*.* or xcopy c:\*.* /s /e /h /k e:\c-backup.dir ^^^^^--include hidden/sys files & preserve attribs Laplink (older non-Win95-compatible version) would probably work well here too, assuming it can copy hidden/system files. (I've never used this product.) By booting from floppy to simplistic DOS mode, I avoided issues of turning off/on virtual memory (to prevent corrupting swap file) or having to deal with file sharing violations, etc. 6. I had a nice breakfast while the backup meandered along. 500 MB took about 45 minutes, I think. My SCSI adapter doesn't go into EPP mode despite all my attempts to configure my 'pad's port for EPP, so it's throttled to around 200 KB/sec throughput in bidirectional mode (sigh!). 7. I shut down & installed new (810 MB) hard drive. 8. I booted Win95 Emergency Disk and used fdisk to set up large C: and small D: partitions the way I wanted, and "activated" C: for boot. (If you don't "activate" a partition, you'll got BIOS error I999305 when you try to boot from the new drive...a lesson I learned my first pass through this procedure :-) I then used format to format both C: and D: for DOS file system. For C:, I used format's /s option, even though I expected the restore to replace the files copied over: command.com, io.sys, msdos.sys, and drvspace.bin. I don't know if I could have done this with an older DOS' fdisk/format, but decided not to take the chance. Anyone know if Win95 installs its own boot blocks code different from previous versions of DOS? I suspect it does, but don't know for sure. 9. I booted my 'ol DOS/WIN31 Emergency Boot disk and restored C: and D: from my backup. I let it replace the system files that had been copied over by the format /s to C:. This seemed prudent particularly since I couldn't remember whether the backed up versions were left from a previous multiboot to old DOS/Win31 or Win95. (Multiboot keeps Win31 and Win95 versions of each of these, renaming them as needed depending in which flavor to boot; if I'd last booted my old disk to DOS/Win31, then leaving these alone on the new disk would imply my old DOS was Win95's not DOS6/Win31--who knows what Win95 would do with that!) If I'd used pkzip or xcopy, I probably would have tried the following to restore C: pkunzip -d -Jhrs e:\c-backup.zip or xcopy e:\c-backup.dir\*.* /s /e /h /k c:\ and answered "Yes" to any prompts about overwriting existing files. If it complained it couldn't or wouldn't replace the hidden/system files previously installed by the format /s, I'd probably attrib them so they could be deleted, delete them, and restart the restore. 10. I ran doslfnbk to restore my long file names, per the instructions. I did this while still booted on my DOS/Win31 disk which doesn't seem to support the lock or unlock commands mentioned in doslfnbk's readme. But given that I was booted to old DOS, not doing multitasking, essentially no TSRs, no network, and not running Win95, I didn't think this was a big deal, and it didn't turn out to be one. 11. I removed boot floppy from floppy drive and rebooted to new harddisk. I chose to boot to Win95 >>Safe Mode<<. (My MSDOS.SYS has bootmenu=1, but if it didn't, I would have hit F8 just after the "Starting Windows 95..." message appeared to get the menu and select >>Safe Mode<<.) 12. I ran scandisk and jotted down the things it found. It complained about my C: Recycle Bin being corrupted by apparent bad long filenames, but scandisk was able to repair this such that the problem did not reappear in subsequent scandisk runs. This may have exposed a bug in doslfnbk, or perhaps I should not have run doslfnbk from Win95 Command Prompt boot, but from older DOS boot. At any rate, it's highly likely the problem could have been avoided by emptying the Recycle Bin in Step 3 before doing the backup. scandisk had no troubles with LFN's in any other place, and I had over 4000 of 'em. To be safe, I also decided to empty the Recycle Bin after scandisk had fixed it...that worked without a hitch. 13. I rebooted to full Win95 and have been working fine since. 14. In the event things hadn't work out (they didn't my first attempt because I forgot to activate C: in step 8), I had at least the following: - My old disk which still works just fine.

The "120" MHz Pentium model was suppose to be available later this month or March, but I just received an interesting phone call from Stan, my sales rep at CDW (Computer Discount Warehouse) which indicates otherwise. Stan tells me that CDW just received a notice from IBM that production of the 760 (all models) has been suspended until at least the middle of March. IBM "claims" component shortages as the reason for the delay. I question IBM's explanation for this production halt and delay because I've read several postings on other USENET groups from IBM 760 owners that indicated that "false advertising" law suites may be or have been filed against IBM for falsely advertising specific features of the 760 that it clearly doesn't have. I believe full-screen capture using MPEG2 was one of the features mentioned which in reality displays captured video at 160x200, not exactly full screen (confirmed by Ken Yee - active on this mailing list - thanks Ken). Has anyone else heard anything about this production suspension and/or false advertising claims? I guess I won't be seeing my 760CD-120 for at least another month or two and possibly longer. :-( Anyone have any inside information about the new "top of the line" ThinkPad models to be announced next Fall? I already heard 13+" LCD screens in a slightly larger box. Any other features worth waiting for? By the way, I've been buying my ThinkPads and lots of other computer hardware/software through CDW for several years now and have been extremely happy with their prices and service. They are definitely a class act for a mail order house (and one of the largest in the world). Call Stan Oien at 1-800-800-4239 x7365 or send email to STANOIE@cdw.com, he has been wonderful to deal with. Tell him Sandy sent you. ;-) I'm not affiliated with CDW, just a long time happy customer. As I've stated previously on this mailing list, call around for the best price on an item first and THEN call CDW. They will usually meet or beat anyone's price (if it's real) and usually have most items in stock or can get it within a day or so. _\//__ --Sandy / _ _ \ ( @ @ ) +-------.oOOo--()--oOOo.-----+-------------------------+ | InterNet : sandy@sandy.com | Reflections By Design | | Web Page : www.sandy.com | Web Design & Production | | Location : Cupertino, CA | Info?

I have created a multi-session CD, that is, I wrote data to it on two separate occasions. In theory, "any CD player that supports CD-ROM XA" can read it and see all the data from both sessions. The warning the CD-ROM Writer documentation gives you is "can only be read on CD-ROM drives that support multi-session CDs". In theory, since the TP755CD's CD-ROM has a "photo CD" label on it, it should be able to read a multi-session CD, since Photo CDs are often multi-session CDs. However, my TP755CD can only read the first session. Period. If I plug in a Panasonic KXL-D720 CD-ROM I can read all the data on the multiple session CD, so it is not the way the CD is written. I can also read it with various Compaq and IBM PCs around the office. I searched IBM and Microsoft's web sites... nothing specific for this problem can be found. Ideas?

It does not imply that all photo CD drives can read multi-session CDs. The first drives made by Kodak only did mono session. Now, I do not know for the TP755CD. I just say it is possible that it is only mono session.

I'm still not sure about this. I haven't seen anything mention full-screen MPEG2 capture.

The report is long, but quite ontopic for this group. I have "mined" this group for a number of questions I've had as I explored the system and the report might be of interest to any of you who might be considering such a system. The following is a report about using software by DeLorme Mapping with a laptop computer (with CD ROM) and a Global Positioning Satellite receiver to display a continuously updated map in a vehicle. The DeLorme map covers all roads, streets, streams, political boundries and most other common features in 15 levels of detail, down to a level of about 1" = 1/10 mile in the USA. The map automatically centers as the vehicle moves, leaves "breadcrumbs" and can be modified by the user to show other features, using "overlays." Having just completed a 2,500 mile trip using the setup in our van, I am writing this report for anyone interested in trying it for themselves. The text of the report follows: GPS and a Map In Your Car! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ There are a few things in this world that fall into the totally, absolutely, unquestionably neat category. Friends who know me well, know that I seldom go off on tangents about things unless they are really unique or solve a specific long-standing problem. The system I recently assembled from off-the-shelf components fits that bill and I want to share with you how I did it, how it works and how it can be used. EQUIPMENT and SOFTWARE The components necessary for having a continually updated map in your vehicle are as follows: MapExpert 2.0 CD ROM by DeLorme Mapping (207) 865-1234 This CD Rom is a street atlas of all streets, drives, roads, lanes, creeks etc. in the continental USA, including Alaska and Hawaii. A simpler version of this incredible good software is sold at most software stores as Street Atlas 2.0 or Street Atlas 3.0 by DeLorme. MapExpert is a superset of Street Atlas 2.0, in that it includes a large number of additional tools, such as the ability to locate a place by its longitude and latitude and the ability to add overlays. As far as I know, MapExpert is only available directly through DeLorme. More about it later- GPS Link II software by Delorme This additional software is on a floppy and "wraps around" the MapExpert software. It takes an industry-standard signal that is sent out by a GPS receiver and feeds it to MapExpert to "center" the map on the generated longitude and latitude, leave breadcrumbs as you travel and control several other features. Eagle Accunav Sport GPS Receiver with NMEA-183 output We had a boat which used this handheld GPS receiver. When we sold the boat, I kept the reciever. The Eagle Accunav has many more features than are needed for use with the DeLorme software, since it is also a competent stand-alone product for boaters. Virtually any other, less expensive, GPS receiver could be used, provided that it has a connector on the back that outputs the industry-standard NMEA-183 signal and an antenna that can be detatched and located on the vehicle's dash for a clear view of the sky. The NMEA port is quite common, since most GPS receivers now use it for input of differential Loran signals and/or output (the NMEA-183) to other devices. Most of the handheld receivers are small enough to fit easily in a shirt pocket nowdays. Eagle sells a cable that is has a plug matching the receiver on one end and with bare wires on the other. Eagle's owners manual specifies the use of each of the wires, and it is necessary to only use two of them. These two are soldered to a standard DB-9 serial connector from Radio Shack, which connects to the laptop. Both the GPS manufacturer and DeLorme provide excellent and clear instructions on how to do this. Laptop Computer with CD ROM drive. My own laptop is an IBM Thinkpad 755CD. The key components for a system, however are merely 1) a 12 volt laptop machine, 2) a connected internal or external CD ROM drive for the MapExpert software, 3) a serial connector on the laptop and a power supply from the vehicle for the laptop and the GPS receiver. While both COULD be run from internal battery power, it is desirable to supply them with a continuous 12 volt power source. An active matrix screen is a nice feature for the additional brightness in a vehicle. ASSEMBLY and SETUP AI began my "great adventure" by ordering the software from DeLorme and installing it on the laptop. Both the MapExpert CD and the GPS Link II installed on the first try and I spent a day just playing with the MapExpert software alone. I had also ordered the NMEA connecting cable from Eagle and it arrived in a few days as well. A trip to Radio Shack for the DB-9 female plug and ten minutes at my desk connecting the two wires from the cable to the plug were all it took to complete the assembly. The assembly of the connector had seemed intimidating, but turned out to be anticlimactic. When I connected the receiver to my laptop and fired the GPS Link II software up, however, I got an error message on the screen that there was no connection to the serial port! After a moment of panic, I read the laptop's manual and learned that I had to select the serial port, activate it and do several other gyrations on the Thinkpad. Having done this, I STILL had no connection. A call to IBM's support 800 number resulted in over an hour of "hold" and no assistance. Fortunately, I had made the correct changes, it turned out. I then gritted my teeth and e-mailed DeLorms's support hotline. DeLorme advertised voice, fax and e-mail support. What I recieved was an almost-instantaneous response from DeLorme's support staff suggesting several changes to the GPS Link II software. I made the changes, but still had no luck. I e-mailed them again and AGAIN received a reply within minutes! The suggestions were to 1) change the baud rate from the default values in their software and to 2) GO OUTSIDE and try it. There I stood in freezing rain with the laptop under visqueen. Suddenly, the "No Serial Connection" message changed to an "Excellent 3-D Quality" message. The screen with the map on it flashed and I was looking at a high resolution map of the street in front of my own home, with the cursor centered in my driveway! What a thrill! I found I could "zoom" in or out in 15 steps from a now-centered map of the USA, down to a street-level detail map. Always, the map stayed centered (can be turned on or off) on where I was. At resolutions of 14 or more, even the exit and on-ramps of highways are visible! I took the setup to my pickup truck and placed everything in the seat. Almost immediately, I began to get error messages again. It seemed that the GPS receiver must have an unobstucted view of the sky to maintain contact with the 5 most visble satellites! A call to Eagle ordered their remote antenna cable. This cable is about 3' long and permits you to dismount the antenna from the GPS unit and to use it remotely- as on the dash of a vehicle- so that it gets an unobstructed view of the sky. With the system now working, I drove around town. As the vehicle moved, every six seconds (adjustable) a little "breadcrumb" would be added to the map as an overlay, showing where I'd been. I could also add little windows that could show altitude, speed and direction and the time. I cannot describe the fun of seeing a map unfurl as you drive (yes- I was careful and stopped to make changes in the setting). It was like having a navigator in the car with SIXTEEN maps of different scales and complexities that were updated for location every 6 seconds! The next step was to try figuring out how to put everything neatly in our van for an anticipated vacation, but to still have the individual components available for other use and to make it readily removable for nightime when the van would be unattended. Our van is a 1996 Chrysler Town and Country and has a cupholder in the center of the dash down low. I first traced the bottom of the Thinkpad onto a piece of 1/4" plywood and then cut it to shape. The front of the plywood rested on the extended cupholder and the rear rested on a single 2" wide "Leg" made out of the same plywood that rested on the floor of the van. To secure the plywood base in the cupholder, I merely glued blocks of wood to the bottom of the plywood that fit into the cupholder sockets and held everything securely. The leg was fastened to the base with screws, glue and a block of wood for reinforcement and was stained to match the trim of the van. I purchased some Velcro from the hardware store and placed two 4" strips at the front and back of the Thinkpad, with corresponding strips on the top of the plywood base. These worked out wonderfully to hold the Thinkpad securely, while permitting easy removal for other uses. I was sure to leave room behind the Thinkpad for its power connection and the serial connector. Another piece of Velcro on the leg of the platform permitted me to mount the GPS receiver where I could easily reach its on/off buttons, while keeping it low and out of the way. A hole in the leg was necessary for the NMEA/serial cable to pass through. The IBM Thinkpad uses a fairly large "power brick" for 115 volt power, and the IBM Car Battery Adapter is fairly expensive at $120. Since electronics are included in the external power supply, merely getting a cigarette lighter plug at Radio Shack won't work for the IBM. For many OTHER laptops with CD ROM, however, it will work just fine. Instead or paying for the separate Car Battery Adapter at $120, I opted to buy a power inverter that outputs 115 VAC with 150 watts continuous power for just under $50. The inverter plugged into the cigarette lighter and was fastened to the other (hidden) side of the plywood leg with velcro and the power brick for the thinkpad was then fastened to it. It worked just fine, but I later switched to the IBM Car Battery Adapter to save on the bulk and weight of the inverter. I also soldered a lead to the 12 volt input to the Car Battery Adapter that neatly ran to the GPS receiver to supply it with current from the vehicle as well, eliminating a second cigarette lighter connection. All cables were bundled and tied to the platform using tie straps to keep them neatly in place and to prevent breakage from excess flexing. The 2" square GPS antenna was held in place on the van's dash with a 3/4" square of velcro. To remove the entire system only took a moment to undo the antenna and to stick it to the top of the laptop (another velcro patch), to pull out the cigarette lighter plug and to lift the assembly out of the cupholder. It fit neatly under an arm to take into hotels along the way. To use the laptop (such as logging onto the 'net or Prodigy) from the hotel room, pulling out the power and serial connectors and lifting it free from the platform's velcro strips was a snap. USING THE SYSTEM FOR TRAVEL One thing that sets the MapExpert CD software apart from its sister program, Street Atlas 2.0 is the ability of the user to create overlays on the map and to store them for future use. The overlays can be combined, such as layering different marked sheets of clear acetate over a map at different times. Using my desktop machine and other software, I planned our trip to Florida out and planned the route we'd take. This information was then placed on a single overlay on MapExpert using text, symbols and arrows. Using some of its other tools, I also located where we'd be staying at nights and located the hotels locations, even! It was easier to do this ahead of time, since a large monitor, good mouse and fast machine make the job go much smoother. The overlay was then stored and copied to the laptop's hard drive as well. In using the system, we soon learned that the three most useful scales for travel were 1"=5 miles, 1"=2 miles (to get crossroad names) and 1"=1 mile for on-ramp and off-ramp information. The highest levels of detail, such as 1"=1/2 mile and 1"=1/10 miler simply were TOO much detail for general highway travel. However, the two highest resolutions DID prove very helpful when we took a wrong turn once and ended up on the back streets of Miami Florida. Then, without any assistance, we immediately located the next on-ramp to the highway and navigated about 2 miles of city streets, with turns, to get back onto the highway! That alone made the system worthwhile, in my opinion! CONCLUSION I think that the software and support of DeLorme are some of the finest examples of what good people with good tools can do today. The software is above and beyond anything I ever imagined was available for the "common man" today and has to be seen and used to appreciate. DeLorme's support is instantaneous and highly knowledgable- in keeping with thier products. Connecting the GPS to the laptop was easy. Installing the software was a no-brainer and the debugging was not bad. I am glad that I didn't need to use IBM's non-existent support, since you can easily grow old waiting for a person to answer. The Eagle receiver had an excellent manual and the two cables I ordered were handled promptly and correctly. DeLorme recommends, and even sells, GPS receivers and CD ROM add-ons to facilitate thier software, but I suspect that mail order houses can provide the same materials for less money. I am not connected with DeLorme in any way and paid retail for the software I purchased, so my comments are unbiased. Thomas A.

It used to be that the machine could not be hot-undocked under Win95 bwcause of some incompatablity with the DII's SCSI Host Adapter. I solved this problem by disabling the SCSI Host's BIOS. Now my SCSI devices work fine and the machine WILL undock. However, when I eject the machine, I get a message stating that I should shut down abd restart in an undocked state because '95 is unable to change display settings. I choose Continue anyway and the machine ejects itself. Then I get a DOS box telling me that the configuration isn't right. I press Space and all is fine. I am returned to Windows where I left off and things are humming. Video and Minitor settings are the same for both docked and undocked configurations.

Maybe I'm out of tune with the US market, but combo map/tv/radio/cd systems have been common here (Japan) for about five years. Some from Sony even have 8mm VCRs hooked in. They're about as common as, say, cellular phones (i.e. common). One problem is that there don't seem to be laws about having the display viewable to the driver.... I've been riding alongside a car where the driver has 1.5 eyes on the baseball game and 0.5 eyes on the road (I don't stay alongside such cars for long!). Anyway, you can buy these at the corner A/V store. They have talking ones that allow you to program your route and announce "turn right in 200 meters", etc. Some also hook up to a (cellular? radio?) traffic information system and (compute?) routes around tie-ups. Others interpolate your position from recent data when the signal is lost, such as when going through a tunnel (bug whoop). At least that's the impression I get from some of the commercials. As I said, they've been out for some time, so they're several generations matured. But you'd not be able to do your own overlays like you described.

In 12 Volt 100-140 watts is 8-12 Ampere which is what the thing must be able to draw out of the car battery and handle before conversion.

I've been running 800x600 Linux/X11 on my 755cx for months. The latest (as of this summer, mine is dated Jul 23 1995) version of XF86_SVGA has support for the 755CX's chipset, WD90C24A2. One thing Linux's X won't do is put the chipset into 800x600 mode -- you have to get it there yourself. Run the DOS command "PS2 MODE3X ON" and then boot via LOADLIN. The console will be screwed up and act funny. But once X starts, it should be fine. My /etc/XF86Config appended, FYI.

Here are the Cliff-Notes: Open up your Dock II and find the dip-switch bank that sets up the SCSI Host adapter. (It's in the middle, towards the back, sort of nestled on top of some other framework.) Set the first three switches to the On position and leave the fourth one Off. This will disable the Host BIOS but leave the board itself active so you can still have access to your SCSI devices. (You may or may not be able to boot from a SCSI Hard Drive, but most people prefer to boot from the Internal anyway.) After that, docking and undocking seems to work like a charm. Note: You may find that '95 thinks there are conflicts between your Docked and Undocked display configurations. My system gave me an error indicating such a problem even though both settings were the same. Though this is a benign error and you can ignore it, I was annoyed so I solved it too. The solution is also fairly simple. Just go to your system configurations and delete the undocked one. Shut down your machine, undock, and reboot. Your system will detect the new configuration and all will be well with the world. Anyway, let me know how all this works for you. -Mike --- Michael Klenner mdk1143@is.nyu.edu mklenner@pacificnet.net http://pages.nyu.edu/~mdk1143 talk michael@24frames.com --- From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Fri Feb 9 21:06:15 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA27391; Fri, 9 Feb 96 21:06:15 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id VAA26659; Fri, 9 Feb 1996 21:01:12 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Fri, 9 Feb 1996 20:57:55 -0500 Received: from mail.crl.com by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id UAA26393; Fri, 9 Feb 1996 20:57:52 -0500 Received: from crl11.crl.com by mail.crl.com with SMTP id AA25069 (5.65c/IDA-1.5 for ); Fri, 9 Feb 1996 17:55:02 -0800 Received: by crl11.crl.com id AA11423 (5.65c/IDA-1.5); Fri, 9 Feb 1996 17:47:41 -0800 From: Mark Ng Message-Id: <199602100147.AA11423@crl11.crl.com> Subject: Re: X11 on TP 755 CX To: tp750@cs.utk.edu Date: Fri, 9 Feb 1996 17:47:40 -0800 (PST) In-Reply-To: <199602091655.LAA06223@CS.UTK.EDU> from "Benoit Durand" at Feb 9, 96 05:56:29 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Benoit Durand wrote: >I have a TP 755 CX, 24 Mo RAM, 1,2 Go HD, Mwavw processor, and 800x600 screen. > >I am currently installing Linux on that thinkpad.

Hi fellow 'netters, My name is Melanie Tsai and I recently started using a magazine subscription club in the USA that has a FREE 1 yr. magazine subscription deal with your first paid order- and I have been very pleased with them. They have over 1,500 different USA titles that they can ship to any country on a subscription basis. As for computer magazines from the USA, they more of a selection than I ever knew even existed. They have magazines for most every area of interest in their list of 1,500 titles. Within the USA, for their USA members, they are cheaper than all their competitors and even the publishers themselves. This is their price guarantee. Overseas, on the average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half of what the newsstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines. On some titles they are as little as one-tenth of what the newsstands charge. They feel that mgazines should not be a luxury overseas. In the USA, people buy magazines and then toss them after reading them for just a few minutes or hours. They are so cheap in the USA! Well, this company would like to make it the same way for their overseas members. They are also cheaper than all their competitors in the USA and overseas, including the publishers themselves! This is their price guarantee. Around one-half their business comes from overseas, so they are very patient with new members who only speak limited English as a 2nd language. Their prices are so cheap because they deal direct with each publisher and cut-out all the middlemen. They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell. Please do not email me as I am just a happy customer and a *busy* student. I don't have time to even complete my thesis in time, let alone run my part-time software business! Please fill out the above form and carefully follow the intructions above to get it to them via fax or smail. They guarantee to beat all their competitors' prices. Sometimes they are less than half of the next best deal I have been able to find and other times, just a little cheaper - but I have never found a lower rate yet. They assured me that if I ever do, they will beat it. They have been very helpful and helped me with all my address changes as I haved moved from one country to another. They have a deal where you can get a free 1 yr. sub to a new magazine from a special list of over 295 popular titles published in the USA. They will give you this free 1 yr. sub when you place your first paid order with them to a renewal or new subscription to any of the over 1,500 different popular USA titles they sell. They can arrange delivery to virtually any country and I think they have clients in around 45 or 46 countries now. Outside the USA there is a charge for FPH (foreign postage and handling) (on both paid and freebie subs) that varies from magazine to magazine. I have found their staff to be very friendly and courteous. They even helped me with an address change when I moved from one country to another. The owner thinks of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members" (even though there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he accepts as a new member. When he sets you up as a new member, he himself calls you personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or sometimes he has one of his assistants call. He is kind of quirky sometimes - he insists on setting up new members by phone so he can say hi to everyone (I sure wouldn't want to have his phone bills!), but you can place future orders (after your first order) via E-mail. He has some really friendly young ladies working for him, who seem to know just as much as he does about this magazine stuff. If you live overseas, he will even call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he still makes all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long distance rates are cheaper then. He only likes to take new members from referrals from satisfied existing members and he does virtually no advertising. When I got set-up, they had a 2-3 week waiting list for new members to be called back so that they could join up. (Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately when you call. ) I think they are able to get back to prospective new members the same day or within a few days now, as they have increased their staff. I am not sure about this.........but if you email the above form to them, that is the way to get started! They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell. They then send you email that outlines how his club works and the list of free choices that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what he sells; and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly, no-pressure no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and answer all your questions. Once you get in, you'll love them. I do. Sincerely, Melanie Tsai ps. please forward a copy of this message to all your friends on the net who you think might be interested in it! It is a great deal! If you join and then they join after you, you will earn a free 1 yr. subscription for each new person you get to join after you join! If you exceed 25 referrals, they let you use them to give away as gifts, for Christmas, Chanukah or any other occasion. Please be kind enough to mention my name when you join. I will then get a free magazine for a year for referring you. Thank you.

I am now thinking about putting up a standard MSDOS with Win-3.11 (or Windows for Workgroups) onto the machine (I would kill OS/2 anyway---I run linux). BUT, I will still need [1] the PS2 utility for getting into 100*37 text mode [2] the 800*600 video driver under MS Windows [3] the MWave drivers So, will these work when I switch from PC-DOS to MS-DOS? Is there a site where I can get a copy of the relevant files via the Internet (which one does [2]? I know about [3].) ? I have been getting the 1-800 run-around from IBM so far. /ivo welch --- Ivo Welch ivo.welch@anderson.ucla.edu Assoc Prof of Finance Anderson GSM at UCLA 110 Westwood Plaza, Box 951481, LA CA 90095-1481 From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Sat Feb 10 12:59:27 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA03313; Sat, 10 Feb 96 12:59:27 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id MAA07093; Sat, 10 Feb 1996 12:58:33 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.3); Sat, 10 Feb 1996 12:54:06 -0500 Received: from is.nyu.edu by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id MAA06742; Sat, 10 Feb 1996 12:53:57 -0500 Received: from KLENNER.NR.RES.NYU.EDU by is.nyu.edu; (5.65v3.0/1.1.8.2/23Sep94-1121PM) id AA01747; Sat, 10 Feb 1996 12:53:52 -0500 Message-Id: <2.2.32.19960210175346.00680c68@is.nyu.edu> X-Sender: mdk1143@is.nyu.edu X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.2 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Sat, 10 Feb 1996 12:53:46 -0500 To: ivo@next.agsm.ucla.edu From: Michael Klenner Subject: Re: Win 95 Functionality Lost?

AFter spending over 10 hours on the phone with IBM tech support, we got nowhere. My 701 was running win95 fine till thursday when the hd crashed, I lost everthing. (I didn't panic, I had a backup of the entire drive from the previous week). so I formatted the drive and re-installed windows 95, and tried to re-install the tape backup software so I could restore from tape. well this is where the trouble began, I kept getting errors when I tried to install the tape backup software, everything from GPF's to error 426, to segment load failures. after every error the system would freeze and I would need to turn the computer off and reboot. I tried to install procomm plus for windows and the same thing happens. I tried math cad, ms office 95, lotus smartsuit. all get errors during (or actually when I start) the setup program. strange thing is, if I setup direct cable connection and hook up the thinkpad to my desktop, and get the CD-rom version of those software packages, I can install from the CD-rom on the desktop without any problems. I thought there were something wrong with the diskettes so I tried them on the desktop and they worked fine. IBM blames it on Microsoft, I called Microsoft and they said it was some hardware problem with the thinkpad and that I should get it serviced, but ibm won't service it because they don't think there's anything wrong with the thinkpad. anyone experience this before? can anyone suggest a solution?!? I'm desperate! Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes, I looked at the headers. The people who sent this spam out were careful not to leave any real addresses in the headers. The same spam was sent to hundreds, maybe thousands, of lists. The only clue to the message's origin is in the received headers that indicate that the message came from one of freeppp.com's customers. They've already been flamed mercilessly, and according to rumor on the list managers' mailing list, are doing their damndest to stop it. Keith -------- Take the pledge!

One question: Since the very early days of owning the machine I have noticed an aberration with the screen display, very slight horizontal lines moving down the screen, only on mains power. The power supply and power supply card inside the machine have been replaced to no avail.It's not a major problem, mostly I don't notice it but..... anyone seen this before?

AFter spending over 10 hours on the phone with IBM tech support, we got nowhere. My 701 was running win95 fine till thursday when the hd crashed, I lost everthing. (I didn't panic, I had a backup of the entire drive from the previous week). so I formatted the drive and re-installed windows 95, and tried to re-install the tape backup software so I could restore from tape. well this is where the trouble began, I kept getting errors when I tried to install the tape backup software, everything from GPF's to error 426, to segment load failures. after every error the system would freeze and I would need to turn the computer off and reboot. I tried to install procomm plus for windows and the same thing happens. I tried math cad, ms office 95, lotus smartsuit. all get errors during (or actually when I start) the setup program. strange thing is, if I setup direct cable connection and hook up the thinkpad to my desktop, and get the CD-rom version of those software packages, I can install from the CD-rom on the desktop without any problems. I thought there were something wrong with the diskettes so I tried them on the desktop and they worked fine. IBM blames it on Microsoft, I called Microsoft and they said it was some hardware problem with the thinkpad and that I should get it serviced, but ibm won't service it because they don't think there's anything wrong with the thinkpad. anyone experience this before? can anyone suggest a solution?!? I'm desperate! Thanks in advance for any help.

Also, given that it is an enclosure, 2 AMP connectors and some cable, it seem unlikely it could be patented. You would probably be in trouble if you molded it exactly, but if you simply duplicated the functionality I don't see how you could have a problem.

Its specs are pretty good: 6 speed, 256K buffer, 160ms access time. From my limited understanding of it, it doesn't have any batteries and solely draws power from your laptop. It has a PC card interface, and I think it has a parallel-port option also. I've seen it advertised in the PC Zone catalog for around $529. The quad-speed unit sells for about $100 less.

Here's a potentially stupid question. The official documentation for the MWave 2.10 for Win95 says that MWave for DOS 2.0 must be installed in advance. (The stupid part is why would anyone question the official documentation--on the other hand...) I believe I've seen at least one posting that the Win95 stuff didn't seem to really need the DOS stuff. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks!

Make sure one isn't sticking. If she's using the internal, plugging in an external will probably be a quick workaround if it's at the key level. The tech manual lists the hardware to check in the order of: keyboard interposer card external numerical keypad external keyboard keyboard/mouse cable system board. If the checkout stuff is the same as in the 750s, she can run the test by holding down the F1 key at boot to get into EZ Setup (if she can't get that far, the problem is probably more than a physical keyboard problem...) and press CTRL-A to get to the diagnostic menu, then CTRL-K This'll get the keyboard test screen.

I haven't subscribed to this mailing list in a few months. I recently sold my two year old ThinkPad 750. It went for $1200. For any of you who might be interested, here are the specs for that system: 33MHz Intel 486SL 20MB RAM 170 MB HD 9.5" monochrome LCD Intel PCMCIA 14.4kbps fax/modem Windows 95 WordPerfect for Windows 6.1 I have a few other items for sale at this time. Of particular interest to the subscribers to this mailing list is an IBM Port Replicator I. I know that this model works with the 750 series and some models (maybe all) of the 755 series. I bought the Port Replicator in July 1994 for $285. I'm asking $200 for it, and if you want to buy it, I'll send it to you. Here are its' specs: ** 2 PCMCIA card slots ** External Diskette Drive Connector External Display Connector Keyboard/Numeric Keypad Connector Mouse/Pointing Device Connector Parallel Connector Serial Connector The Port Replicator is great if you have a lot of peripherals or PC Cards. I also have for sale a 3Com PCMCIA Etherlink III LAN Adapter. This card supports 10BaseT as well as 10Base2 (coax) networks. I believe that this card is still the fastest PCMCIA Ethernet card available. It works really well with Windows 95: I bought the card, inserted it, and was connected to the network within minutes. I'm asking $175 for this card, and if you want it, I'll send it to you. Finally I'm selling a 15 inch IBM 6319 color monitor. Here are the specs on it: .28mm dot pitch Refresh rates: 75Hz @ 640x480 72Hz @ 800x600 60Hz @ 1024x768 "Microprocessor controlled with a resident memory base of preprogrammed screen and input configurations and also digital user controls." What this means is that you can set the monitor's controls for multiple resolutions and you won't have to reset them when you change resolutions, as is the case with monitors that have analog controls only. One really neat feature of this monitor is that it can use both 110 and 220V current. The monitor has a couple of small scratches on the side of the case, but is in perfect condition otherwise. I'm asking $300 for the monitor, and if you want it, I'll send it to you. If you would like more information on any of these items or would like to make an offer for one or more item(s), feel free to reply via e-mail. Thanks for reading this message. I hope I can help someone out there who needs this hardware.

But just precisely what does the Win95 IrDA driver do? I picked it up and installed it on my ThinkPad 755CX, which has built-in IrDA compliant IR on COM1. One of the first things the installation asks is what IR to use, and it chooses to use COM1 for the IR. After that, it sets up a COM4 for me to use for IR. What was the point? I already had a COM1 which did IR! I was hoping for a driver that would actually use the IR by itself, and not force me to configure COM1 to be the IR, so that I could use both the serial port and the IR. I'm tired of having to switch between serial and IR and reboot. -- Chris Osborn, Network Administrator Voice: 707 253 3130 Napa Valley College Fax: 707 253 3063 2277 Napa-Vallejo Hwy., Napa, CA, 94558 MIME ok, NeXTMail tolerated From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Thu Feb 15 00:42:52 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA15635; Thu, 15 Feb 96 00:42:52 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id AAA10628; Thu, 15 Feb 1996 00:40:12 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.4); Thu, 15 Feb 1996 00:37:28 -0500 Received: from UNiX.asb.com by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id AAA10468; Thu, 15 Feb 1996 00:37:26 -0500 Received: from sls12.asb.com (sls12.asb.com [165.254.128.22]) by UNiX.asb.com (8.6.12/8.6.9) with SMTP id AAA10597 for ; Thu, 15 Feb 1996 00:40:55 -0500 From: christij@unix.asb.com (Joseph Christie) To: tp750@cs.utk.edu Subject: Laplink like prog for OS/2 Date: Thu, 15 Feb 1996 05:37:33 GMT Organization: Just me and I'm not organized Message-Id: <31226bfc.1846853@unix.asb.com> X-Mailer: Forte Agent .99d/16.182 A while ago some one was looking for laplink for OS/2. I thought I would relate my adventure with this problem. I called Indelible Blue and ordered Linkright. I tried to get it running in serial mode and it wouldn't recognize my serial port half of the time and when I ran it in DOS mode I kept getting timeout errors and bad checksum errors. I returned Linkright and ordered LinkWiz. It is $132.00 with parallel and serial cables. I opened the box, threw the manual on the bed and installed it. It works in serial mode, it orks in parallel mode and when I disconnect the multi-port adapter and use the floppy/parallel cable it works with that too. It even works with my other desktop which has a special card/driver combination for a postscript printer on LPT2. It automagically finds the cable on any port and self configures. According to the docs it also works with Windows, DOS and Unix. I don't know about that yet but strictly from OS/2 I am a happy camper. I also happily recommend Indelible Blue. They were courteous and prompt issuing an RMA number, waived the restocking fee and were very nice about the whole thing which was done completely through email and their web page. ciao -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joseph Christie | If aliens pick you up and /^^^\ CFC | give you an intelligence test ( @ @ ) PO Box 715 | on lined paper, write across --w---U---w-- Central Islip, NY 11722 | the lines. --- Ray Bradbury 423B78C80FEA5495 CF64AD5F214797DE http://www.asb.com/usr/christij/index.htm From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Thu Feb 15 09:42:43 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA05549; Thu, 15 Feb 96 09:42:43 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id JAA26465; Thu, 15 Feb 1996 09:41:46 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.4); Thu, 15 Feb 1996 09:38:00 -0500 Received: from yogi.LCS.MIT.EDU.LCS.MIT.EDU by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id JAA26072; Thu, 15 Feb 1996 09:37:49 -0500 Received: by yogi.LCS.MIT.EDU.LCS.MIT.EDU (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA06439; Thu, 15 Feb 96 09:37:47 EST Date: Thu, 15 Feb 96 09:37:47 EST Message-Id: <9602151437.AA06439@yogi.LCS.MIT.EDU.LCS.MIT.EDU> From: Lee Hetherington To: tp750@cs.utk.edu Subject: thinkpad 760c speed Reply-To: ilh@goldilocks.lcs.mit.edu Hi all, I recently got my 120MHz pentium 760c running linux (slackware 3.0.0, linux 1.2.13). It is maxed out with 40MB of memory. Anyways, what is puzzeling me is that it seems slower than I would've expected. I know, I know, I shouldn't complain about the speed of such a "fast" thinkpad, but I'm trying to run some serious programs on it. The thing is that it is at least 30-40% slower than a desktop 90MHz pentium Intel machine we have around here. Does that make sense? Pardon my ignorance, but I'm quite new to PC hardware. I was expecting the thinkpad to be as fast or faster than the desktop machine. The Intel machine is running Solaris x86, but I doubt that makes too much difference since my benchmark is just number crunching and not using much memory. Maybe the thinkpad has a really slow bus or slow memory? I'm including a program below that some of you might be able to run for me in some flavor of unix. When I ran it I was getting about 6.7 to 7.7 MFLOPS (program prints this out, I have no idea if they are meaningful numbers in the absolute sense). This morning I took out my expansion 32MB of memory and was suddenly up to 9.5 MFLOPS. After putting the memory back in I was still at 9.5 MFLOPS. Wierd. Does this mean anything to anyone? Is there some kind of low-level hardware control over memory wait states or anything like that? Could an intermittent memory connection have slowed things down? I'm confused. In any case, it would be great if of some of you could run the following program and send me your speed numbers along with system and configuration information. I'm trying to determine if my system is behaving properly or is somehow crippled. Thank you greatly in advance! Lee Hetherington ilh@lcs.mit.edu Here is the program. I was compiling it with gcc 2.7.0 with -O, but that is the same way I compiled it on the 90MHz desktop machine running Solaris x86. I've also tried pgcc 2.7.2p-p17, but that doesn't seem to make any difference. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include #include #include #include #ifndef CLOCKS_PER_SEC #define CLOCKS_PER_SEC 1000000 #endif #define VECMAX 2000 #define NPASSES 80000 void MCIntTest(void); double *d1t(int n); void fd1t(double *a); int main(int argc, char ** argv) { clock_t tStart; clock_t RanTime = 0; double flops, elapsed; tStart = clock(); MCIntTest(); RanTime = clock() - tStart; flops = 1.e-6*(float)(VECMAX*NPASSES*4); elapsed = (float)(RanTime)/CLOCKS_PER_SEC; /*** **/ printf("Timing test: Monte carlo Integration\n"); printf("Parameters:\n"); printf("\tVector Length\t%d\n", VECMAX); printf("\tN_TimeSteps\t%d\n", NPASSES); printf("\tClock Speed\t%d\n", CLOCKS_PER_SEC); printf("\n"); printf("Float Op (in Millions): %10.4f\n", flops); printf("Elapsed Time : %10.4f\n", elapsed); printf("MFLOPS : %10.4f\n", flops/elapsed); return (0); } void MCIntTest() { double *x = NULL, *z = NULL; double dt, k, xdt; double zfact, xshift; int np, ns, nPaths, nTimeSteps; nPaths = VECMAX; nTimeSteps = NPASSES; x = d1t(nPaths+1); z = d1t(nPaths+1); dt = 0.05; k = 0.1; for (np =1; np <= nPaths; np++) { x[np] = 4.0; z[np] = 5.0; } zfact = exp(-k*dt); xshift = 1. -zfact; xdt = 0.01 * dt; for (ns=1; ns<= nTimeSteps; ns++) for (np = 1; np <= nPaths; np ++) { z[np] = z[np] * zfact + x[np] * xshift; x[np] += xdt; } fd1t(x); fd1t(z); } double* d1t(int n1) { double *p, *a; int i; if ((p= (double*) malloc(n1*sizeof(double))) == NULL) { fprintf(stderr, "d1t: cannot allocate space\n"); exit(-1); } for (i = 0, a =p; i < n1; i++) *a++ = 0; return p; } void fd1t(double *a) { if (a) free(a); } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-tp750@cs.utk.edu Thu Feb 15 10:43:08 1996 Received: from CS.UTK.EDU by martigny.ai.mit.edu with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA07914; Thu, 15 Feb 96 10:43:08 -0500 Return-Path: Received: from localhost by CS.UTK.EDU with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA01585; Thu, 15 Feb 1996 10:41:16 -0500 Received: by CS.UTK.EDU (bulk_mailer v1.4); Thu, 15 Feb 1996 10:39:53 -0500 Received: from vmedia.com by CS.UTK.EDU with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id KAA01378; Thu, 15 Feb 1996 10:39:47 -0500 Received: from lgate.vmedia.com by vmedia.com (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4 kells.vmedia.com) id KAA00047; Thu, 15 Feb 1996 10:36:22 -0500 Received: by lgate.vmedia.com (IBM OS/2 SENDMAIL VERSION 1.3.2)/1.0) id AA6963; Thu, 15 Feb 96 10:34:48 -0800 Message-Id: <9602151834.AA6963@lgate.vmedia.com> Received: from ITP with "Lotus Notes Mail Gateway for SMTP" id D1A0DCC007E38DAB852562D1005502AE; Thu, 15 Feb 96 10:34:48 To: tp750 From: Michael Verne/VENTANA Date: 15 Feb 96 10:31:17 EDT Subject: Re: Help w/Win95 & 755CX X-Lotus-Type: Reply w/Signature Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain "....gone well and it recognized all devices, however the 800x600 display has a 1 inch black border around it.

It fixed my odd problems with SLIP in OS/2 giving me these odd "[COMW] Only Wrote xx of yy Bytes" errors. Apparently, this new com.sys driver is needed for thinkpad Mwave support in OS/2. It is almost twice as big as the normal OS/2 driver. I installed Warp Connect, then the Mwave drivers, then fixpack 16 on my system, so fixpack 16 must have switched back to using the Warp com.sys driver.

The benchmark I was using (and posted) only uses ~250KB of memory, so paging isn't an issue. Cache size might be. I think the 760C has a 256KB external cache. I guess my primary question to you all is should I expect such a large drop in performance going from a 90MHz pentium desktop machine (PCI bus I guess) to 120MHz pentium laptop w/o PCI? It would seem that the thinkpad's bus and memory are a lot slower (perhaps for power reasons). Perhaps I'm being stupid in being surprised by a laptop with a faster CPU being so much slower than a desktop machine with a slower processor. Maybe I should've gotten the 90MHz 760c; I wonder if it would actually be any slower if bus speed and memory are really the limiting factor. I appologize for my ignorance of PC hardware. Still, I'm wondering if there is a problem with my machine. So, if any of you out there have a 760c, I'd really appreciate it if you could run my benchmark.

So, if any of you out there have a 760c, I'd really appreciate it if you could run my benchmark. When I configured Linux on a 760c for a colleague, I noticed some severe performance problems. I initially installed Debian 0.93, which uses kernel 1.2.13. The machine had a lot of trouble talking to the network and the serial line; it was practically unusable. On a tip from another 760 user, I tried kernel 1.3.52, and magically, most of the problems went away. (Of course, 1.3.52 added some problems of its own, all of which have been fixed in more recent kernels.) When I upgraded the machine to the 1.3 kernel, I also noticed that it seemed considerably faster. Not only did it boot faster, which is to be expected with the 1.3 kernels, but everything felt faster. Whereas with 1.2.13 the machine didn't feel any different from my 755c, after the upgrade it really felt like a fast Pentium machine. Anyway, I recommend that you try out a 1.3 kernel and see if that makes any difference. Try 1.3.62, the current kernel as of a couple of days ago, which seems quite good (I'm running it right now). Installing a new kernel takes only an hour or so and is time well spent. Based on my experience with that machine, I wouldn't consider running a 1.2 kernel on it. (I don't know how familiar you are with Linux; if you need help building the kernel, call me or drop by.)
