Installation of OS/2 Warp on Thinkpad 560

 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.
