| I ordered a factory refurbished Thinkpad T21. I ordred the mem upgrade; from 128 to 256. It comes with Win98 but I will be installing eCS 1.1 on it. Are there any special drivers that might be needed? Are there any problems that might occur with installing eCS 1.1 onto it?

| BWG, the T2x series is quite a good deal. I'm running eCS 1.1 on a T22 and I can't complain. Well, at least the infrared port gives me troubles, but that's something I can live with as my Palm syncs via serial port as well... and my cellphone ain't supported anyway. So - in general: ThinkLight works (<g>). I Don't have no pcmcia cards (pccards) anymore, but the TP should be no exception to the OS/2 pcmcia "nightmare". I was told that ThinkPads behave better with pcmcia devices in OS/2 than other brands do, but that might just refer to plugging in a genuine IBM TokenRing pccard... <g> Cheers |

| I got farther on the eCS 1.1 with the T21 than I ever did with the 600 but it had an cmd.exe error(?) and stopped installation. It did not have the Warpcenter on the bottom and the installation was incomplete. I used the default settings. I have never really had much luck with the Danis drivers. I will chose the IBM ones instead when I install eCS 1.1 again.

| Hi BigWarpGuy, ...that's strange. With the T22, I had the least problems installing OS/2|eCS since I started installing them on notebooks (no problems at all that's to say). What I do in general (and what I did with my eCS 11 on the T22) is: OTOH, it can still be a read error on the CDs or maybe faulty RAMs...? Might be worth running the "memtest 86" tool from a bootable floppy or an "ultimate boot cd" with diagnostics to make sure that cpu, hdd and rams are ok...? Greetings (keeping fingers crossed) |

I don't know what phase the cmd.exe error occured. When I chose the IBM drivers instead of the Dani drivers, it was able to install eCS 1.1 without a problem. At least everything seems to work. I will report any problems here but eCS 1.1 did install okay.

| eCS runs great. It has SDD/SNAP running on it. It does not have sound (question in multimedia section about that part) and the cpu usage is 44% even I don't have any apps running (question asked in the hardware section). I have it setup for DHCP with the builtin nic.

The site showed a T21. What I received was a T23. I did not realize it was a T23 till I tried the sound and looked down; it shows T23. I will have to install the T23 files when I do selective install. It is like getting a free upgrade.
