Hi Larry, hello SCOUGians
Thanks for your pointer back to good "Old Europe" ;-))

In the meantime WARP MCP 4.52 was installed perfectly on the T30 !

PCMCIA (during the WARP installation) was set on T23 and it showed =

some of the PCMCIA components and icons !
Indeed it said there are NO socket services !?

With SWC I downloaded its PCcard 8.0 and became a mess up:
Unreadable ReadMe's (some curious letters) and learnt that the =

PCMCIA seems corrupt !!

Totally disappointing attitude from IBM's SWC service !!
One pays a hell of fee for SWC and get nothing for !!!

=46rom another collegue in Germany I finally got a working copy ...
=2E.. and after applying this one my X-Mas 2004 started ;-)))

Since then I do have a perfect working IBM Thinpad T30 ;-))

With my near 60 years I am excited like with 7 when I got my =

first little railroad at X-Mas ;-)

Back to your pointer: The SS2TCB.SYS from Daniela Engert =

is elder than the now accurate IBM2SS14.SYS. =

I did a quick test with the SS2TICB.SYS with my PCMCIA HDD =

and the SCSI periphery connected via Adaptec APA-1460 =

SlimSCSI card and everthing worked smoothly too!

Now I am back on the more accurate IBM2SS14.SYS from =

the PCcard 8.0 package !!

Once again perfect done !

Final remarks:
With this IBM TP T30 model 2366-JBU I am replacing my =

old Road Warrior:

It was the first Pentium ever in the world from 1995:

Toshiba T4900CT with 75MHz CPU and max 40MB RAM =

starting with an 800MB HDD and then increasing to 6GB now !

End of 1999 I changed to a more accurate desktop and this =

Mobile joined me whenever I travelled for more than 8 years !!

Very remarkable differnces:

75MHz / 2.4GHz
40MB RAM / 256MB present but 1GB possible
800MB-6GB HDD / 60GB HDD
10.x" display / 14.1" display
640x480 / 1400x1050
64k color / 16M color
no CD-ROM / CD-RW/DVD Combo
Floppy / no Floppy
no Wireless / with Wireless

=2E.. and last but not least =

The oldie was 4 times the price of the new masterpiece !!!!
I think, exspecially with OS/2, the T30 is a perfect solution !

Well, I better stop here.
Once again thanks for all your very appreciated assistance.
Cheers from lucky old boy

IBM ThinkPad T30 - different PCMCIA IIRC; look on your SCOUG CD for
Daniela Engert's Socket Services Driver for notebook PC's - TI cardbus
chip. Or at hobbes, the file is: ss2ticb.zip . Of course please
see the read me before using. YMMV.
