Need 760C DOS Drivers! NOT WINDOWS 9X!!!! :(

[DamienC]

I've been looking everywhere for DOS drivers for my 760C (NOT Win9x drivers... yes I've seen the IBM driver matrix already). The 755CD MWave drivers work in the 760C, so I've got the sound & modem working. The most crucial driver I need at this point is the PCMCIA drivers.

Anyone know if they even exist?

Plz help

Of COURSE they do!!

Have you seen this:

which lead to here:

Read the index text in the main folder


or go here:


http://mobilerev.pixelart.com.pl/?mode=karta&ID=108


Doing a page search for "dos" yields:


pctpgw31.exe



PC Card Director (v4.07) for DOS and Windows 3.1: ThinkPad 345C, 345CS, 365X, 365XD, 560, 560E, 760C, 760CD, 760E, 760ED, 760EL, 760ELD, 760L, 760LD, 760XD, 760XL, 765D, 765L


Here's an interesting read:

pctpgw31.txt plugged into Googe yields interesting stuff.


Conclusion: Go to


http://greyghost.dyndns.org/pccbbs/


and at least start by reading the index, then download at least pctpgw31.txt and the matching exe file.


All this took about 3 minutes on Google.

Okay. I suck. FINE WE ALL KNOW NOW.

lol but seriously yeah everything is there. I compiled a list of what I downloaded in case any other 760C owners care:

pctpgw31.exe - PCMCIA
sytpf130.exe - 1.30 BIOS
uttpfdos.exe - Utility Disk
vftpgw31.exe - Video
760_tips.txt - 760 Tips
760cdug.pdf - 760 User's Guide
dgtpf102.exe - Diagnostic Disk
irtpgall.exe - Infared
mww224-1.exe - MWave Disk 1
mww224-2.exe - MWave Disk 2
mww224-3.exe - MWave Disk 3

Well, if I told you it really took me more like 10 minutes, you wouldn't have been as impressed. Seriously, don't know what we'll do when "everybody" stops hosting those old files.

Seriously, don't know what we'll do when "everybody" stops hosting those old files.

I feel like those of us with legacy Thinkpads should consider ourselves as the archivers of these files (at least for the Thinkpads we own). I know I've kept all my DOS, WIN3.1, and/or WIN95 drivers for my TP360 and 365X... just in case any one needs them.

Like leoblob, I've saved drivers for a 701 and a 560Z if anyone is in need.

Re 440roadrunner's concern, it's probably a good idea to grab everything you think you might need while they're still available.
