Two posible problems:
1. disable the busmaster:
  recommended by IBM
BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD /A:0 /FORCE:1 /U:0 /F:1.44MB
BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:0 /!BM /U:0 /ATAPI /FORCE

2. Wrong sequence in mwave in config.sys. This can lead to very very
long
wait times for the disks. Default it is installed WRONG!

P.S. Uit is dutch for from.

   Uit: ThinkPad General - Installation
                   instructions for PC Card Director
                                                              
                   This document is for the TP 365X/XD, 560/E,
                   760E/ED/EL/ELD/X/XD, and 765 series.
                                                            
      - Place $ICPMOS2.SYS above Mwave device drivers in
        CONFIG.SYS if Mwave device drivers are installed and
        $ICPMOS2.SYS is located below them.

   Uit: ThinkPad 760 - Installing PCMCIA Token
                  Ring under OS/2
                                                                       

        The following is a basic guideline from the ThinkPad
perspective
        of installation and available resources.

        1) Follow instructions for Installing Warp

        DO NOT INSTALL NETWORK SUPPORT

        DO NOT INSTALL OS/2'S PCMCIA SUPPORT

                                                                       

        2) Install PC Card Director for OS/2. DO NOT CONFIGURE THE

        TOKEN RING CARD IN AUTOCONFIGURATOR

        CD - Rom and other drive letter considerations:

        PC Card director installation by default adds drive letters for

        Flash and SRAM storage device support with no GUI means of

        disabling.

        This may change your CD ROM drive letter.

        On a Warp Connect preloaded image the necessary drives are

        already REMmed.

        At minimum - REM out

        BASEDEV=PCM2ATA.ADD /S:2 /]DM /NOBEEP :Storage Driver

        for OS/2 (ATA)

        Can also REM out

        BASEDEV=OS2PCARD.DMD : Storage Driver for OS/2

        DEVICE=x:\THINKPAD\PCMSSDIF.SYS :Storage Driver for

        OS/2 (Interface)

        DEVICE=x:\THINKPAD\PCM2SRAM.SYS :Storage Driver for

        OS/2 (SRAM)

        DEVICE=x:\THINKPAD\FLSH2MTD.SYS :Storage Driver for

        OS/2 (FLASH MTD)

        DEVICE=x:\THINKPAD\PCM2FLSH.SYS :Storage Driver for

        OS/2 (FLASH)

      6) For Machines with MWAVE
      
        - Adjust COM.SYS

        At the end of the line \OS2\BOOT\COM.SYS add (2,2F8,3)

        The (2,2f8,3) is necessary to allow OS/2's COM driver to pick
up
        the DSP modem,

        which is normally at COM2. If the DSP modem is set to COM1,

        then use

        (1,3F8,4).

        - Move the following line to the end of Config.sys or MWAVE may

        fail.

        RUN C:\MWAVEOS2\BIN\MWSTART.EXE

        7. Install Network Support
                                        
        Install software you are using for network support,

        The following is for installing Warp Connect but may be used
for
        any platform.

        - Go to OS/2 System

        - OS/2 Warp Connect Install/Remove

        - Warp Connect Selective Install for Networking

        - Choose Advanced Installation

        - Pick Protocol

        - Configure the IBM PCMCIA Token Ring Adapter

        System Interrupt Level = 9

        PCMCIA mode = YES

        * Shared RAM address = D800

        Default Ring Speed = 16 (if applicable)

        Shared RAM Size = 16

        * Memory Mapped IO/ROM address = D000

        * These memory addresses SHOULD be used on PCI based

        machines. Other addresses can be used but these have proven

        best

   
Uit: ThinkPad General - Mwave 2.24 installation support
       for OS/2 Warp

For successful coexistence with IBM TCP/IP, IBM LAN Requestor and/or
Netware
 Requestor for OS/2; all of the MMOS2 and Mwave drivers, with the
exception of the
 MWAVEVDD.SYS driver, should come after the TCP/IP lines in the
CONFIG.SYS
 file.
          

For CD audio on the 755CD/CDV and 760CD/ED to function, the Auxiliary
Control
 must be running from the Mwave for OS/2 folder. This is not necessary
if the CD is
 set for Digital Transfer.
                                                     
Reinstallation of Mwave:
                                                                   
 If the Mwave installation becomes damaged and fails to function
properly, it will be
 necessary to fully remove all Mwave AND Multimedia support prior to
reinstallation.
 This is necessary to insure a clean reinstall of all features.
             
                                                                       
             
 For OS/2 Warp:
             
 Edit the CONFIG.SYS and remove all references to \MWAVEOS2.
             
 Do a Selective Uninstall of Multimedia support and delete the
Multimedia and
 Mwave folders from the Desktop.
             
 Shutdown and reboot the system.
             
 Use the Drives object to remove the \MMOS2 and \MWAVEOS2
subdirectories.
 Proceed with the installation as outlined above.
             
                                                                       
             
 WINOS2 Mwave support can be reinstalled independently of OS/2 support,
i.e. if
 OS/2 Mwave support is working correctly, then it is not necessary to
             
 remove/reinstall OS/2 support in order to reinstall WINOS2 support. In
general,
 WINOS2 Mwave support does not need to be removed before it is
reinstalled.
