I have a tp755, 12Meg. One disk(540 with NT, another (810) with Win95.
Both
work fine, except with 12Meg NT is very slow. I mainly use my pad for

writting Visual C++ programs. A program that compiles in 45 secs under Win95
takes 1min 30 under NT. Unless your have 24Meg or better I would recommend
Win95, even then I suspect Win95 would be faster.

Dock1, CD-ROM drive,
PCMICA modem all work fine with both

Subject: Win95 or NT?

Hi, I have a TP755CE and am
considering moving from Win3.11 to much
overhyped Win95 or possibly NT. I
see support from IBM for Win95 but
little if any acknowledgement of NT. I'd
like to run NT as a
development environment, but don't want to sacrifice a
lot of the
features of my thinkpad.

Does anyone have any experience
running NT on a pad? Is there PCMCIA
and Docking Station support? Does Power
Management work? Is there
MWAVE Modem and Sound support? What are the
gotchas?

My apologies if this is in a FAQ somewhere; any advice is
appreciated.

Regards, Skip Smith
