Hi,

I've been toying with the idea of replacing some of the standard Thinkpad 600 drivers with newer 3rd party drivers to get better hardware performance and increased functionality, and before I totally hose my system I was hoping someone might have some input to offer me:

The Hardware:
- IBM Thinkpad 600 PII300, NeoMagix128 800x600x16.7Million, etc...
160MB Installed

The Drivers I am Considering Replacing:
- NeoMagix Driver with Scitech SDD v7 (last version 7 release)
and then later Scitech SNAP

- Crystal Audio Driver with UniAudio Driver and UniMixer (Latest version)

- WSeB Mouse Driver (or the occassionally ran WSeB TrackPoint 4 Driver)
with AniMouse

- All IDE, HDD, Zip, LS-120 and CDROM Drivers with DaniDrivers and
JJSCDROM

Can anyone advise me if these replacement drivers will work, or will some of the hardware only properly operate with the IBM provided drivers?

Thanks in advance,
- Robert

I know someone in the Washington DC area with a T600 running OS/2. From his experience, here is what I recommend

The Hardware:
- IBM Thinkpad 600 PII300, NeoMagix128 800x600x16.7Million, etc...
160MB Installed

The Drivers I am Considering Replacing:
- NeoMagix Driver with Scitech SDD v7 (last version 7 release)
and then later Scitech SNAP

Good: SNAP works great! But I think your graphics already are good?

- Crystal Audio Driver with UniAudio Driver and UniMixer (Latest version)

Bad: don't do it. Your sound is as good as it is going to get. UniAud does not support your ISA based chipset.

- WSeB Mouse Driver (or the occassionally ran WSeB TrackPoint 4 Driver)
with AniMouse

Good: but the installation program is a mess. Make a backup of your desktop with the Archive feature, first.

- All IDE, HDD, Zip, LS-120 and CDROM Drivers with DaniDrivers and
JJSCDROM

Good: Dani stuff is great. See my post in next thread for enabling warm swap support.

Can anyone advise me if these replacement drivers will work, or will some of the hardware only properly operate with the IBM provided drivers?

Thanks in advance,

You're welcome.

Neil

I use SDD/2 on my Thinkpad 760EL. It works great.
