prefer dark text/light background because less pixels

I have used an 8MB IC DRAM card from a 720 with
no problem.
Might be able to use 32MB IC DRAM cards. (TP370 32MB

>I'm looking for a few pens for the 730 TE. IBM can
deliver, but it will take 4-5 weeks. Does anyone know
where I might get quicker delivery? Can I use other brands
of pens on the Thinkpad? I expect it's quite easy to get
hold of spare pens for Windows CE machines.
RLS104 replies:
The Win CE pens will not work on your
730. In general, any wacom pen will work - it's
used on the Mitsubishi Amity's, the old Toshiba T100 and
T200, and all pen enabled Thinkpads. The CE pens
are really just sticks - no electronic properties,
whereas the wacom pens have some electronics in them
that enables, for instance, the right mouse button from
the button on the barrel.
I used to have a 730TE, and have had a TP
360PE and it worked on both of them. Both of them
have the same video driver and digitizer as your 750P,
so there should be no problem.
External
Diskette Drive (Opt. TOGP14M) 48G8263
"Just wanted to advise that some of the newer
Thinkpad's External Floppy Drives will function with the
730T. I was using the External floppy from my 765D system,
FRU# 66G5069 P/N 66G3696. The floppy drive is also used in
the following Thinkpad units, the 360, 355, 370, 701, 755,
& 760. This drive unit should be easier and less
expensive to obtain than the original unit"

Checkout (2524)
A scratch, write enabled 1.44MB diskette is
required.
1. Select FDD icon on TEST MENU. This runs
the controller test and drive read/write test. If the
test detects an error, FRU code 10 appears. In this
case, replace the system board.
2. If controller test runs without errors, follow
instructions on the screen and insert floppy.
3. If the drive test detects an error, FRU code
50 appears. If the diskette media is known to be good,
replace the drive or the drive cable.

Mouse Use
IBM says - "Mouse devices such as PS/2 Mouse and
Microsoft Mouse are not supported. The Stylus Pen should
be used as the pointing device instead of using a mouse."
Alfred Arnold reports:
Might be that it's not officially
supported, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't
work. My TP730TE came without the pen, so I had to
look for an alternative. Got a Y-shaped adapter
from a friend that has a PS/2 plug on one end, and two
PS/2 sockets at the other end. The sockets are
labeled 'Mouse' and 'Keyboard'. Stick the plug
into the replicator's keyboard
jack, you plug in the mouse and the keyboard into the
two sockets, just like the two PS/2 sockets of an
ordinary machine. Works like a charm - at least
under Debian Linux...the adapter is entirely passive, so
the signals for mouse /and/ keyboard must be present on
the 730's keyboard jack.
From me, god-Emperor of Microchannel
Picked up a PS/2 splitter from Ebay. I used
a Model M keyboard. First attempt failed with the Model
M on the keyboard cable of the splitter - the LEDs
didn't light up during POST. Swapped the keyboard to the
mouse cable of the splitter, tried again. It works. Now
to load something with mouse support...
An IBM Announcement says:
"Space saver keyboard
(84G2524) usage
To attach a space saver keyboard
through the port replicator, a Y-cable is
required. The Y-cable connection must be reversed
so that the keyboard is connected to the mouse connector
of the Y-cable and the mouse is connected to the
keyboard connector of the Y-cable."
Digitizer System Resources
The system reserves COM4 (base I/O address
3E8h), IRQ 5 as the internal digitizer communication port.
For serial I/O communications like the external 232C or
PCMCIA modem cards, use COM2.
External
CRT
When the external CRT monitor is attached
to the system, the CRT monitor supported is VGA (640 x
480, 16 colors). The LCD and external VGA CRT are
simultaneously displayed.
