IBM ThinkPad 365XD (250-0317) Limitations Faxback Doc. # 34710 * System audible alarm will not sound under some setup modes. It can be enabled by using ThinkPad Features program. * I/O Port Addresses for Audio and Token Ring conflict with each other. When Token Ring is used, either Audio or Token Ring I/O Port Address needs to be changed for proper function. * External FDD of ThinkPad 365C/CS/CD/CSD/E/ED does not work on ThinkPad 365XD. * External CRT which supports only VGA resolution can not be installed if display mode is both LCD and CRT because display port always has SVGA signal as long as LCD screen is on. * These systems support PCMCIA PC Cards that draw a maximum of 2.64 Watts (0.8A at 3.3VDC). * Enabling I/R on the host system during a co-sessions host session is not supported. * Microsoft NT Workstation V3.51 - the limitations, tips and techniques, and device drivers may be obtained, at no charge from IBM, from the PC Company BBS at 919-517-0001 (Toll call). Also, customers with access capability, can obtain it from the Internet at ftp.pc.ibm.com and from the ThinkPad Forum on CompuServ. * Use boot manager when booting OS/2 Warp from a secondary drive, such as PCMCIA Type III drive. * A suspend/resume operation during a modem application in the Windows DOS box may cause the application to hang. The modem application should be closed before entering a suspend. * A suspend/resume operation during audio recording may result in unexpected results. Audio recordings should be stopped before entering suspend. * When using Windows 95 or OS/2 Warp Version 3, a suspend/resume operation during AVI file, MIDI, WAV, or other audio feature operation, may cause an audio/video synchronous problem or the aplication to hang. The application should be closed before entering a suspend. * The 32-bit disk access driver for Windows 3.11 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11 in the preloaded utilities shipped with the system can only be installed in a directory named "Windows." If the "Windows" directory has been renamed, for example WIN311 or WFWG311, this driver cannot be installed by the utilities diskette. * Some optional features or applications may use the COM2 port. OS/2 Warp Version 3 will not load COM.SYS if the COM2 port is already in use. * The OS/2 Warp FixPak XR0W000 is required for audio and video support for Indeo-format video file playback functions. * When using the redirector feature of the Connectivity Pack for the HP 100LX or HP 200LX to exchange data over an infrared link at 115Kbps, the ThinkPad 365XD should be configured as the requestor. * At 800 x 600 resolution, the 72Hz refresh rate is not supported if 64K color is selected with an external display (CRT). * IRQ for Sound Blaster Pro is 5 or 7 only. * Continuous use of the HDD drive and/or CD-ROM drive, such as reading long video files, will impact battery life. * The system is designed so that the customer can install or remove the PCMCIA card without turning off the system, if the PCMCIA card supports this function. Refer to the instructions that come with the PCMCIA card. * When installing two Type II PCMCIA communications cards in the PCMCIA slot, there may be some cable interference that allows only one card to be used. * PC Card point enablers may write directly to the hardware, bypassing Socket and Card Services. Writing directly to the hardware may cause problems that cannot be anticipated. Also, point enablers may interfere with client device drivers that do communicate with Socket and Card Services. Additional customer testing in their specific environments is recommended. * In text mode of DSTN models, image will be shown in full screen only. * The IBM Keyboard/Mouse Connector accessory is required when attaching an external keyboard to the system via the external input device port. * In case of DSTN LCD model, screen in text mode, such as DOS or OS/2 full screen, is displayed in extended format.
