I have a TP755C, 20Mb RAM, DOCK I, PCMCIA ethernet card, SMC Ultra
ethernet card in the docking station which I sometimes swap with the
controller for an HP Scanjet IIcx, external SCSI CD ROM and lots of
questions to go with it. Hopefully someone can help...
I want to install OS/2 and DOS/Windows on separate partitions, using Boot
Manager to select between the two. I have a new 810Mb disk for this.
Currently I have a 540Mb disk with PC DOS and Windows installed. This
has proved to be a very unreliable set-up -- the system crashes a great
deal (especially in Windows :-) and I've had lots of problems getting
enough free memory for everything to run correctly.
So,
1) Is there any point installing MS-DOS and WfW 3.11 instead of PC-DOS
and Windows 3.1 ? Is it likely to be more reliable ?
2) If I do install MS-DOS rather than PC-DOS, can I still use the power
management stuff and if so, how ? Are there other things I won't
be able to use ?
3) If I have to use PC DOS, how do I go about transferring it from my
(single partition) 540Mb disk to a 300Mb partition on my 810Mb disk ?
4) How do I get DOS/Windows (either sort) to recognised my CD ROM
drive ?
5) When I install OS/2, what's the correct selection for the soundcard
type ? The install program suggests the Crystal Semi 4231, but
nowhere in the documentation does it tell me what the Thinkpad sound
system is.
6) I assume that it's correct to install the OS/2 versions of the
Audio and Video Features software. Is there anything else I should
install under OS/2 ? (DOCK I options ?)
7) I'm trying to install IBM C Set++ v2.1 for OS/2. However, the
multimedia tutorial won't work properly. It asks for the audio
device number when installed, suggesting a default of 1, but how
do I find out if this is correct ? Will it work at all ?
Thanks in advance for any help,
James.
