......if so, can you help me resolve a conflict between the serial port and IR port? They're both on i/o 03F8-03FF and IRQ 4. The Thinkpad configurator is no help whatsoever.
Cheers Kav |
I have one here. You can't use both so in the configuration thingy you say I want to use IR so will nick an IRQ from this serial port.
Does that make sense? |
Think so but even if I disable the serial port, the IR port doesn't seem to able to use the vacant slot. (Just reached the edge of my technical abililty :D)
Cheers Kav |
So run tpn.exe - then select the icon for IR.
Choose enable then advanced and it lets you choose a port e.g. com2 you can check it's been disabled in the serial port icon on the other side. Remember IR doesn't work in NT.... |
Thanks mate
I'm running Win2000 so should be OK. When I try to run tpn.exe from "Start, Run..." I ge the message which says incorrect path etc. Do you know where this executable sits? Cheers Kav |
Ok.. slightly different... but still with a T22
Its running NT4 (SP6) How can you get it so you can hot/warm swap between the CDROM (DVD) and the floppy drive ? If you boot with the floppy you get device errors for CDFS, etc... I dont want to use multiple H/W profiles. Does IBM have a driver/utility that allows for hot swapping, or booting with the floppy that doesnt produce errors ? I have searched the IBM website...and nothing :( Cheers, J. |
It's getting wierder......
I've now got the serial port and IR port on different i/o and IRQ (03F8-03FF, IRQ4 and 02F8-02FF, IRQ03 respectively) but my Palm Hotsync manager keeps telling me the IR port is not available (?!). Any clues? Cheers Kav |
fox - had a look at swapping devices. We don't get any error messages it just beeps a lot if you swap the CD for floppy or vice versa. This is NT after all so I wouldn't expect it to work.
Ours boot off floppy ok as we use it for an NT build. Kav - the IR control panel should tell you if IR is working. |
Tee hee - just had a look in the bios and floppy boot and IR are both disabled by default. :-
Re the IR problem it gives you a different address for the port, dunno why... so enable IR in the bios and run the config program again and you should get somewhere. |
Father Jack - Top Man!
All indications on the IR panel are OK so I need to get into the BIOS setup. Which key do you hit on startup? Cheers Kav |
I don't know - I'm not at feckin work at the mo. Pay attention when it boots up - F1 or F2 or F12 or Del or something should do it!
|
Alright, alright - keep your cassock on! :D
