THe SCSI port is only on the docking station I believe. The DOS sound
driver that comes with the machine does not support games, but they are
supposed to ship new drivers soon that do.
If you really manage to get a 750C after only a month wait at a discount,
you are doing *extremely* well. IBM stopped taking orders for these machines
well over a month ago, and there are just none of them in channels at all.
(In fact you could probably immediately sell your machine at a significant
profit -- though I know you aren't allowed to :-)
The 16 meg board was $1500 which turns out to be a very good price, these
16-meg credit cards are quite expensive. In fact I think the 8 meg board,
which should cost only a few hundred bucks, even in this market, will give
you 12 meg total, which should be fine for running OS/2.
The one thing I have not managed to get working yet is my PCMCIA Megahertz
modem -- I'm still working on that!
BTW it comes with a *very* impressive multi-media demo, although so far
that demo seems to work only under DOS (I set up my machine as dual boot,
just so I can still run the demo :-)
