701c to "like" factory new?

#1 Post by ozzymud » Sat Apr 16, 2011 7:28 pm

Ok, I am aquiring 2 of these machines. Like all old stuff i own I prefer to keep one for play and the other restored as best as possible to like new.

Been googling a fair bit and hardware specs are easy, but i can't seem to find out anything on software...

I'm going on assumtion that these originallt came equipped with Windows 3.1 and or OS/2?

What other factory installed software was on them in the day? Did it use a floppy disk imaging application to create restore disks? I know my 760XL after restoring with the original CD has such an app in it.

Looking for something like this... a dir /s text of the c drive (760XL here: http://pastebin.com/6izAwGBu )

The original contents of the config.sys and autoexec.bat in the case of dos/win (760XL here:

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
SET PS2MSG=C:\THINKPAD\PS2.MSG
SET PATH=C:\THINKPAD;C:\WNETFIN;
C:\THINKPAD\PS2 HFILE C

C:\IBMAV95\IBMAVSH /F00
config.sys was empty.

Yall get the jest, i am looking to recreate a day 1 experience with one of the machines.

So far I have managed to do this with a 760XL and a Smith Corona Acer PC220 (read 286 10MHz :P)

[EDIT: found this from an old advert:

Code: Select all

We've preinstalled a generous selection of software programs(3) -- more than 15 in all, including OS/2(R) Warp on all 75MHz models, plus PC DOS and Windows(TM) - - to help you take advantage of your ThinkPad 701's advanced technology. Call it "instant productivity"...and added value!
And to further partially answer my own question:

Code: Select all

Software preinstalled(3)

o Microsoft Video for Windows(TM) 1.1 Runtime,
Monologue for Windows, Audiofile(R) TalkWorks,(TM)
