IBM ThinkPad 365XD
(250-0318) Limitations Faxback Doc. # 37422
* System audible alarm will not sound under some setup modes. It can be
enabled by using ThinkPad Features program.
* I/O Port Addresses for Audio and Token Ring conflict with each other.
When Token Ring is used, either Audio or Token Ring I/O Port Address
needs to be changed for proper function.
* External FDD of ThinkPad 365C/CS/CD/CSD/E/ED does not work on ThinkPad
365XD.
* External CRT which supports only VGA resolution can not be installed if
display mode is both LCD and CRT because display port always has SVGA
signal as long as LCD screen is on.
* These systems support PCMCIA PC Cards that draw a maximum of 2.64 Watts
(0.8A at 3.3VDC).
* Enabling I/R on the host system during a co-sessions host session is not
supported.
* Microsoft NT Workstation V3.51 - the limitations, tips and techniques,
and device drivers may be obtained, at no charge from IBM, from the PC
Company BBS at 919-517-0001 (Toll call). Also, customers with access
capability, can obtain it from the Internet at ftp.pc.ibm.com and from
the ThinkPad Forum on CompuServ.
* Use boot manager when booting OS/2 Warp from a secondary drive, such as
PCMCIA Type III drive.
* A suspend/resume operation during a modem application in the Windows DOS
box may cause the application to hang. The modem application should be
closed before entering a suspend.
* A suspend/resume operation during audio recording may result in
unexpected results. Audio recordings should be stopped before entering
suspend.
* When using Windows 95 or OS/2 Warp Version 3, a suspend/resume operation
during AVI file, MIDI, WAV, or other audio feature operation, may cause
an audio/video synchronous problem or the aplication to hang. The
application should be closed before entering a suspend.
* The 32-bit disk access driver for Windows 3.11 or Windows for Workgroups
3.11 in the preloaded utilities shipped with the system can only be
installed in a directory named "Windows." If the "Windows" directory has
been renamed, for example WIN311 or WFWG311, this driver cannot be
installed by the utilities diskette.
* Some optional features or applications may use the COM2 port. OS/2 Warp
Version 3 will not load COM.SYS if the COM2 port is already in use.
* The OS/2 Warp FixPak XR0W000 is required for audio and video support for
Indeo-format video file playback functions.
* When using the redirector feature of the Connectivity Pack for the HP
100LX or HP 200LX to exchange data over an infrared link at 115Kbps, the
ThinkPad 365XD should be configured as the requestor.
* At 800 x 600 resolution, the 72Hz refresh rate is not supported if 64K
color is selected with an external display (CRT).
* IRQ for Sound Blaster Pro is 5 or 7 only.
* Continuous use of the HDD drive and/or CD-ROM drive, such as reading long
video files, will impact battery life.
* The system is designed so that the customer can install or remove the
PCMCIA card without turning off the system, if the PCMCIA card supports
this function. Refer to the instructions that come with the PCMCIA card.
* When installing two Type II PCMCIA communications cards in the PCMCIA
slot, there may be some cable interference that allows only one card to
be used.
* PC Card point enablers may write directly to the hardware, bypassing
Socket and Card Services. Writing directly to the hardware may cause
problems that cannot be anticipated. Also, point enablers may interfere
with client device drivers that do communicate with Socket and Card
Services. Additional customer testing in their specific environments is
recommended.
* In text mode of DSTN models, image will be shown in full screen only.
* The IBM Keyboard/Mouse Connector accessory is required when attaching an
external keyboard to the system via the external input device port.
* In case of DSTN LCD model, screen in text mode, such as DOS or OS/2 full
screen, is displayed in extended format.
