Butterfly warp driver?

[spheniscus]

Hi,

I'm trying to install OS/2 Warp 4 on a Thinkpad 701CS. I have previously installed Warp 3 on a 701C with no problem. Here, I don't seem to find the "right" driver for the CT65545 chip - I've tried several, but either "nothing" happens (i.e. I'm back at VGA 16 colors), or I get a black screen and must alt-F1 to reset it.

There was an IBM file (must have been vftp....exe) but now, teh IBM site seems to ignore the 701 alltogether.

I post this in the hope that some faithfull 701 & OS/2 lover may read and tell me were I could get that file.

Note that the OS itself runs fine, albeit only in 16 colors

Don't know what you mean by right driver for the CT65545, however from the OS/2 Device Driver Pack Online under Chips & Technologies Inc there are a few.


That chip it's also found on the 365E i.e.

here is the link:

Thanks for the link, unfortunately I was allready there, and the driver does not seem to work. I get a black screen.

There was a driver for the 701, but IBM does not list the machine amongst the Thinkpads anymore. The name must have been vftp701 something.

IBM OS/2 GRADD? you need FixPack 5 or above.

I use SDD/2 on a 760EL that runs OS/2 Warp ver 4. I will be trying eCS 1.1 on it soon (I created the installation diskettes from the cd). The screen of the 760EL looks nice.

Hi, Spheniscus,

I have a page on my OS2WarpLinks web site that is a fairly long list of OS/2 Warp web sites that specialize in various drivers for OS/2 Warp.

Perhaps you can find what you need there. It is at:

http://www.os2warplinks.com/main/drivers.htm

Despite OS/2 Warp's undeserved reputation for having "no drivers", it is the biggest page on my site!

Good Luck !!

Best,
