Thinkpad, configuration description

2015-08-29 03:53:30 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

Lenovo continues to improve own site, several monthes ago they removed information about old models of laptops so users can't find description of configuration by TYPE.

Model number = TYPE is written on the bottom of the laptop, in format XXXX-XXX. (If you see "XXXX-CTO", then search ProductID)

How to find the hardware configuration in Internet? For example, TYPE 6457-W8G ? search: google -> 6457-W8G intel -> you can find bits of information in the forums, in online shops. Find T7300 (2.0GHz), resolution, etc. Example of configuration: 14.1 SXGA+ (1400x1050), Core2 Duo T7500 (2.2GHz), 2048MB, 160GB, DVD?RW, 6cell Li-Ion, Quadro NVS 140M 128MB, Gigabit LAN, WiFi 802.11b/g/n, BT, FPR, 4-in-1, XP Pro

We are collecting this text lines, to include this database to OS/2. Send us TYPE and corresponding short description of configuration via web-form

The listings will be available for all users and published on the site: ecomstation.ru/thinkpad


MultiMac: Революция в драйверах для OS/2

2015-06-01 01:11:36 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [Arca Noae]

OS/2 users with Arca Noae subscription have access to new drivers built using new technology.

The drivers for Ethernet network adapters are ported from FreeBSD operating system. In the past the drivers were based on Linux drivers.


Official announcement:

Arca Noae has posted a new item, 'New MultiMac NIC driver package (20150529) released'

Arca Noae is pleased to announce the immediate availability of a new release of our MultiMac NIC driver package.

More information about the MultiMac NIC drivers may be found in the wiki.

New in this release:

A new E1000B driver. This is the first driver produced using the newly developed library for porting FreeBSD drivers that was discussed at Warpstock 2014. The E1000B driver supports more chipsets than the E1000E driver. This driver is the first release, and is still considered experimental, however, testers have been using it for a few weeks with no problems.

Updated NVETH, E1000E, R8169 drivers. Although there are no changes to these drivers, they have been recompiled for this release. This means that any changes to the system libraries will also be incorporated into them.

As always, problems encountered with this version should be reported to the ticketing system. Simply log in with your Arca Noae credentials, select MultiMac from the list of projects, and open a ticket.

This driver package is available for download from the Arca Noae website as part of your Arca Noae OS/2 & eCS drivers and software package subscription. Please log into your account in order to access your software.

If you haven't yet purchased a software subscription, this is a great reason to do so now.

We don't know if Wim goes support more cameras. Let's collect requests. If your Thinkpad laptop has web-camera and you want get it working, 1) confirm that you can test the driver during several weeks / monthes. 2) save report of USB device (USB Dock -> report), 3) your contact information


Thinkpad notebook and и WiFi adapter

2013-08-21 02:50:01 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

What to do if your notebook is equipped with unsupported WiFi-adapter (not supported in eComStation)?

You can install other adapter, for example: Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN. It should have FRU number (manufactured for Thinkpad). Your laptop will stop boot with this adapter because it has White list (all unauthorized devices are blocked)

Many thousands of Windows users have similar problems with white list, they flash patched BIOS in this case. You can find BIOS with removed White list in the Internet. Search: google -> thinkpad x301 white list BIOS

Share links to patched BIOS with other eCS users: Thinkpad BIOS without white list
