Hi everyone. We have just received a complete TP750C package
including the following:
TP750C 8/170 MB
Dock 1 with internal CD-ROM player
Xircom BNC PCMCIA ethernet adapter
Lasat 14400 PCMCIA fax modem
We are planning to using the system for multimedia demo's etc. My first
impression is that IBM has done a terrific job on the TP750c, it is
responsive, the sound is great and the screen likewise.
I am having some problems getting the PCMCIA cards to work ( this is
the first time I have come across them ). The relevant part of the
config.sys file is as follows:
Device=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 1024 frame =d000 X=c000-cfff
Device=C:\THINKPAD\IBMDSS01.SYS /S0=2
Device=C:\THINKPAD\IBMDOSCS
Device=C:\THINKPAD\DICRMU01.SYS /MA=c000-cfff
Device=C:\THINKPAD\$ICPMDOS.SYS
The computer contains both cards the modem in slot 1 and the EA in
slot 2. The configuration utility from Xircom does not find the EA with
the IBM device drivers loaded. Without them things load but the
Netware session locks up during login. I have'nt been able to find out
how to specify the COM port for the modem card at all. I have looked
through the printed and online documentation without finding any good
answers. One other unclear point is what version of the PCMCIA
programs to use. The small printed update says not to use the utilities
>from PCDOS 6.1, while the readme.txt file from DOS 6.1 gives
examples for the 750. The programs from DOS 6.1 seem a lot more
complete regarding parameters etc. I plan to give them a try when I get a
complete copy on Monday. Any suggestions would be much apreciated.
Best wishes
Arthur
