-
- Revised 12/05/96
- by Jim Wilkerson
-
- This procedure is for installing OS/2 Warp on the IBM Thinkpad 560 series
- machines. It will work for OS/2 Warp for Windows (red label), OS/2 Warp with
- WINOS2 (blue label), OS/2 Warp Connect (blue label), and OS/2 Warp Connect for
- Windows (red label).
-
- The files listed in this procedure are available from the IBM PC Company BBS at
- phone: (919) 517-0001, anonymous ftp: ftp.pcco.ibm.com, and World Wide Web
- site: http://www.pcco.ibm.com.
-
- Note: The actual file descriptions listed here may vary from the descriptions
- as posted on the BBS, the ftp site, and the WEB. The file name, size,
- and date should be exact.
-
-
- The Thinkpad should be placed on AC power prior to beginning the installation.
- Failure to do so can cause various inconsistencies in the installation which
- will prevent the system from functioning normally. Make sure that the external
- floppy drive is secure in its port.
-
-
- *** Preliminary Setup ***
-
- Obtain the following files from IBM, run each from a temporary directory and
- follow the instructions to create the diskettes as listed.

- Note: The Utility Disk for DOS is only needed if Thinkpad Personalization is
- desired during Thinkpad Features installation.
-
-
- *** Installation ***
-
- Consult the README file on the Thinkpad System Update diskette and follow the
- instructions for use.
-
- Consult the README file on the Thinkpad System Update diskette for the
- Thinkpad being used and follow the instructions for use.
-
- Boot the Thinkpad from the Installation diskettes and proceed through the first
- part of the installation. At the end of this stage of installation, at the
- screen which says "...Remove the Diskette and Press Enter to Restart the
- System..."; press the F3 key to exit to a command prompt. At this point, use
- the TEDIT editor to edit the CONFIG.SYS on the installable drive and remove
- the line:
-
- BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD
-
- After the Thinkpad re-boots to the System Configuration Screen, select VGA for
- the video display (the installation will auto-detect a Trident 8900, this will
- not work). Choose Thinkpad 755CE/CsE for PCMCIA support. Select Multimedia
- Device Support and change to Port Address for the ESS 688 device to 240.
- Select OK from the System Configuration Screen and proceed with the
- installation of desired software components.
-
- Note: The ESS 688 driver may give an error on re-boot if the device was not
- previously set to Port Address 240. Ignore the error and proceed with
- the installation. This can be corrected at the end of the installation
- using the Thinkpad Features to set the device to 240.
-
-
- *** Installing Thinkpad Features ***
-
- Install the Thinkpad Features for OS/2 using the INSTALL2 program from the
- Thinkpad Utilities for OS/2 diskette. The INSTALL2 program can be run from an
- OS/2 window. Remove the check on the Install Personalization Editor and select
- Install to complete the installation.
-
- Note: Thinkpad Personalization can be installed and run, just make sure to
- have the Thinkpad Utilities for DOS Diskette available during the
- install.
-
- Installation of the PC Card Director v4.02 is not necessary unless the features
- of this version are desired. Install the PC Card director by running the
- PCMINST2 command from the PC Card Director for OS/2 and Win95 v4.02 diskette.
-
-
- *** Video Installation ***
-
- Insert the Video Features for OS/2 Warp diskette and type INSTALL x from the
- A: prompt, where x is the drive in which OS/2 is installed; and follow the
- instructions.
