Hi blackacre: You could use the Thinkpad Configuration Utility. OR Perhaps you could run a session of PCDRDOS. Then i believe you can change some IRQs with PS2.EXE

Getting closer 600x
Please, don't be sorry. I think this is exactly what i need. Also: (Gilf) 1.) I downloaded the binaries (Boot.zip) and unzipped them. They contain the folder boot/grub containing the deepsleep modified files. 2.) I navigated to my own /boot folder and renamed the /boot/grub folder to /boot/grub-old ...

Error code 191FE
I don't think I understand you---- Are you trying to flash the BIOS from a HD? No. Quite simply the notebook does not post correctly. It stops at Error code 191FE. I guess 191FE is power management related. Not windows power management but system power management that is stored on the bios chip. I ...

600X bios entry
Also, get a copy of the IBM PS2.exe utility. This allows you to set bios preferences from a floppy. Thanks Gilf i will try this right away. I have tried to flash the bios to the latest version but it hangs. I have tried multiple hard drives but they all stop with the <windows 2000 root>\system32\ n...

600X cannot access bios/setup
I have searched all over the net for a way to enter the bios or the Easy Setup menu on a newly acquired 600X 9FU. I have tried all combinations of F1/ESC/F12 but the notebook keeps looping back to Error 191FE. Using the information provided by Gilf, i have dual booted W2k/Puppy 4.12 using the Grub b...

Deep Sleep Puppy
Although i have not had to install Puppy for a while, it was easy. My CPU boots to full speed in Window$ without DeepSleep. In Puppy it boots to non speed step mode. The L2 cache is disabled in both. I hope to read through the post again so as to install a cache and speed step enabler in the Grub bo...

Another success
After the Speedstep mod and re-assembly, (thanks to Gilf for the reminders:) the 600E booted first try to 127 stop code. Did the bios hex edit, reboot, and it went right into W2Kpro. CPUZ shows my 700 Mhz CPU at 756.2 Mhz, the fsb at 108Mhz and the level 2 cache at 0 bytes. I tried to install PL but...

The first 600E i modded went perfectly. The Speedstep mod, and the 108Fsb mod went well, Powerleap and DeepSleep installed without any real problem. Roughly one in twenty startups results in the 108 stop code. On the second 600E i was not so lucky. During the 108Fsb Mod the soldering tip stuck to th...

Speed Step Mod question
The original sketch of the Sharedoc mod shows the 2.2Kohm resistor soldered at condenser C13 to resistor C9 (quote from pg. 3): On the top level of the board this pass through meets a resistor, south from text C9. Solder to the west end of this resistor a 2.2kohm resistor, and solder the other end o...

fje: Your PL issue is mentioned on page 47 of this thread. I think i had the same error you mention (it was over a year ago). If my memory is correct, i think i got the error corrected by unzipping PL files with 7zip. The first time i tried PL it gave me problems. After searching this thread i notic...

FJE i have read many of your posts and have to ask: Are you sure that your MB even needs the 100mhz mod? Also; is it safe to assume that you have set the display properties on the TP lcd to there lowest setting? My 4AU would not display it had for some reason default to the highest resolution. One m...
