I think that for me it was over a dozen times before I was able to get the
red box working properly...
In all seriousness if you are using OS/2 Warp Connect the install on a 750C
goes without
ANY problems. If you are using the red box (Warp for Windows) then you need
to obtain fixpack
number 5 ASAP.
In addition if you are using a dock II (not sure about a dock I), the PCMCIA
drivers in the base
red box CD rom by default conflict with the dock's scsi controller. This is
resolved in the
fixpack but you may have trouble getting to the fixpack.

I have had the red box, and now Connect, running for many months. The only
issue which
I still have with OS/2 on ANY portable is when you attempt to use different
screen
resolutions. When switching between the different resolutions the
desktop/folder layout
can get hosed up.
There is a NEW video driver kit (from the OS/2 people, not IBM mobiles) for
WARP. You must
install this kit to have any hope of getting crt/lcd to work. In addition, on
the 750 with this
kit THE MOUSE TRACKING SPEED IS MUCH GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE!

See above.

You need the fixpack for red box to get the internal sound to function
properly.
I have a AWE-32 in the dock. Works great.

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