I have a 365XD which is simular and use NetGear FA411 card also use a Enterasys WiFi card on my home network. Both work well.

I see a few people on eBay touting the Z50 as the ulitimate PDA. Looks to be the same size as my old 365XD and also looks to do less. Am I missing somethng in the translation? What is so great about the Z50? Windows CE?

Is there a way to change the native language on a 365XD from English to Spanish?
Thanks

Of course you are right. Don't know what I was thinking. It was a OS thing with DOS not a BIOS thing.

That person doesn't seem too sure of the result. Wouldn't it be easy to boot from a WIN98 floppy and then fdisk a 20 or 30 GB drive to multiple 5 or 6 GB drives? Thats what I used to do when I used MSDOS6.22 and it had a 2GB limit and I had a 10GB drive in use.

That Travelstar should work. I have latest BIOS and have no problem with HD or RAM. Only wish I could boot from the CD on this unit.

Windows 98SE runs well on my 365XD with 6.4GB HD and 72MB RAM. Not a barn burner though. Don't know about WIN 98 lite but I might it a try.

I've seen them on fleabay--not cheap. Is there a place that sells them reasonable?

IMHO a futile gesture. Like trying to supercharge a lawnmower engine. The 365 is a decent machine but not a brilliant machine. It's a shame too, to nice to trash and too old to bother with. I use my 365XD for traveling. If lost, stolen or dropped I'm not out much. I only use it for MS Word and inter...

Well I don't have a 128mb stick to try in there. Anyone ever try a 128mb in a 365?

Probably just needs the newest BIOS from the IBM site. I'm searching right now in my junk box for a 128MB card to try in the 365. The worst it can do is just sit there and grunt at me. BTW the memory does not have to be IBM brand to work in the 365 but it does balk at some memory sticks for some rea...

Ya, I know the other venders are selling cheaper. I was just using kahlon.com as an example. I will never buy a hard drive from eBay again. Always expect junk when buying a HD on epay. Buy from a reputable dealer and get a guarentee.

Now mind you, I only have a 6.4GB Travelstar harddrive in my 365 but Kahlon.com says they have a 10m and 20GB that will work in the 365. Price for the 20GB should be in the $85 range. New with 1yr warranty. As far as Linux goes, I was thinking along the lines of KDE and I know KDE likes memory and l...

About the HD. I have a travelstar 6.4GB and it works fine. I seethis at Kahlon.com regarding a drive they sell to fit the 365: Specification Capacity 20 GB Notebook Hard drive Height / Width 9.5 mm / 69.85mm Data Transfer Rate 100MB/Sec Average Seek Time 13 ms Interface ATA-2/3/4/5 Rotational Speed ...

NO--NO--NO! My mind and fingers need to get together. It is a 64 MB stick that works. I don't know about 128MB.

From what I have heard, non IBM may not always be a problem but could be a problem. I figured I could buy memory cheaper but I might buy stuff I couldn't use. By the way, I did check with Kahlon.com and they have memory for the 365 at $33 for 128MB I spent $24. Kahlon has memory for a lot of older l...

I purchased memory from this seller. Guarenteed to work with the 365 and it did!
Check out eBay seller:

Good seller on fleabay. Good memory and she has another 64MB stick listed there now.

With what model did IBM change from PCMCIA to cardbus? I can live with out USB on that laptop but I am looking for a 16 bit Wi-Fi card on fleabay now. Thanks for the info.
mi-oldradios

Will a WI-FI card work with this older system? How about USB card? I know this thing is ancient but I still like it and use it often when visiting not so nice areas in our great country. I now have it to 72meg RAM with a 6.4 GB hard drive with Windows 98SE installed. Any comments? Thanks mi-oldradio...

Can you remember the RAM you got? What version of BIOS?

Thanks. I saw an auction on fleabay for 64MB card that was supposed to fit in a 365XD along with many other TP's. I thought 40 was max and thats why I had to ask. The HD OTOH is a horse of a different color. I have a 6.4GB Travelstar I just might try there. Thanks. mi-oldradios in hurricane alley (O...

Is 40 mb the max for a 365 or can the BIOS be changed to accept more? Also, What is the largest in GB hard drive for this unit?
Thanks

Well, we survived ole Frannie. Just got power on after 3 days. Thanks for all of the help locating these manuals.

Ivan stay away!

I would like the service and user manual for a P III 650 mhz TP 600X. I know I've downloaded manuals from IBM but can't seem to find these for some reason. Thanks.

Do I understand that you need a copy of IE 4.0? I have ver 4 on a CD with MSworks 3.0 if you need it. By the way, IE v 4.4 came with my copy of Window 95 but v 3.1 came on my Office 97 CD, Go figure.
JEP in Ocala

Well if you can get by that it is slower than more modern hardware, it is certainly a great machine for MS word and Excel, Office 97 style. It will run Windows 95 well even if it only has 8 meg RAM. It can be used on the internet with a 56K PCMCIA modem. I can say these things because I have a 365XD...

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try and let you know how it worked.
Thanks

I have a 365XD that I wish to boot from the CD as I do in newer equipment. Can this be done with this model? How? When I go to setup it doesn't know the CD drive is there but I can use it when in Windows. Guess I'm missing something.
Thanks
