Well, I just got my thinkpad 750 technical reference manual, and I
must say I'm disappointed. There's nothing in there that tells me how
to talk to the floppy controller that's incompatible with the one in
most PC machines. There's essentially nothing that tells me how to
talk to the sound chip -- only some sets of port addresses without
even a hint as to how you tell the system which set of port addresses
to use, what the programming interface is, or whether it is compatible
with anything else in the world. There is also no information about
the wierd power switch that doesn't really turn the power off (and
which isn't functional under linux).
And I still have zero information about the SCSI controller in the
Dock 1 -- and the IBM guy on the phone can't find *any* manual that
covers it.
I'm trying to get Linux up and running on this beast, but without
reasonable technical information it's basically a matter of trial and
error and brute force searching.
Does anyone have a better source of such information?
thanks,
Keith
