that came with the A31 for Windows 2K would not recognize it and actually prevented the Intel software from working. After I removed the IBM wireless networking support software and reinstalled the Intel software, the 2200b/g worked fine.

This tells me that the "lockout" was built into the supporting software, rather than the bios.

On your A31 then, not on my TP41, as the error comes at the bios post,  when there is no "supporting software" around as you sure are aware of.

Regarding Lenovo, they have actually fixed long standing bugs in some of the IBM add on Windows software.

Really?

I've (stupid me) purchased a TP43 last week, where at boot the bios complains it can't handle a 80 gig drive. Or even a not Hitachi 40 Gig drive. Doesn't look like an improvement to me.

In that respect, things have improved.

Care to reveal which "improvements" you are talking about?

However, I suspect that they will not provide ANY OS/2 support, or even sympathy, since they will most likely feel no trace of lingering responsibility.

Even IBM doesn't show any trace of lingering responsibility, why should the new owner, Lenovo, doing the opposite?


I am waiting for the fallout with GenMac to stop before I reinstall OS/2 on the A31 because I need the wireless networking to function or it will be unusable.

You are still lucky with your A31, as from the TP41 on models are crippled according to their type number.


Unrelated P.S.
Last week the person who developed the memory management for Windows NT

Windows NT!? Isn't that a thinghy from the past century???

 was not happy when Gates and Balmer came in and ordered them to make Windows run on top of it. That was not in the original definition.

So, what's in for eCS in this old story?
