| Hi all, There used to be a really good IBM Thinkpad & OS/2 Warp site on the 'net, but lately I haven't been able to find it. Does anyone know if it moved, if there's an archive or if there's a similar site anywhere? I'm looking for good install information, driver update info, MWave info, etc for various older (currently) Thinkpads.
<LI>Can I replace the SVGA drivers with SDD v7+/SNAP? (currently have 7 licensed - will buy SNAP in future) <LI>Is there a "best" WIRED 10/100 network card that will work in it? <LI>Is there a "best" Wireless network card that will work in it? <LI>Without Software Choice/Passport Advantage, is there another way to get updates that aren't on the Thinkpad Driver Matrix? </UL> Thanks in advance, |

| Hi all, It was Dr Martinus' Notebook/2 Site - but os2warp.be hasnt finished mirroring it yet (none of it seems up currently). It had entirely OS/2 relevant install information and links (for most Thinkpads to a few years ago - and I *think* various other laptops). I found a link via Google that I couldnt get working a few months ago to a Thinkpad 765 Install page, and checked that directory to see if there was a directory listing available (and there was), so I managed to find the references I needed... The link (for anyone interested) is: http://www.os2ss.com/users/DrMartinus/ibmtp/ Thanks for everyone's help, |

| Hi again, Basically, I'm planning on replacing drivers... none of the sites I've checked touch the drivers and replacement options I am considering... Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated... I've already also posted this on thinkpads.com
The Hardware: The Drivers I am Considering Replacing: - Crystal Audio Driver with UniAudio Driver and UniMixer (Latest version) - WSeB Mouse Driver (or the occassionally ran WSeB TrackPoint 4 Driver) - All IDE, HDD, Zip, LS-120 and CDROM Drivers with DaniDrivers and Can anyone advise me if these replacement drivers will work, or will some of the hardware only properly operate with the IBM provided drivers? Thanks in advance, |

| The 3rd parties drivers are all available w/ trouble, you can try them out and always revert back to status quo. I doubt you'll make a Ferrari out of a FIAT. For the IBM products all you have to do it's just select "Support & Downloads" on their site, I am sure you know that. ciao. |

| From the list of drivers, the only one that you might have trouble with is the Uniaud driver. For new sound chips, Uniaud is the only choice, but, the older Crystal chips seem to be ones that have the least luck. But, if you are intending to use one of the Windows apps that use the Innotek runtime, you will have problems unless you use Uniaud. For the others: --- David |
