GREETINGS FELLOW BLOGGERS!


I rise from the depths of a really long hiatus to present to you my latest feat! I will post more about this marvel once I finish. It is an IBM ThinkPad 760XL loaded with Rhapsody DR2 and with some sweet laptop case modding! Woo-hoo! More to come soon...

BLOGGERS? Yeah whatever. Btw... I'm still grounded, but I found a backdoor way to the internet. tongue.gif

Anyways, I am also making a custom made RhapsodyBook for BlackShadowWolf since he lives in Pittsburgh and can pick it up. WOW! He actually seems interested.

RG: Do you think Rhapsody DR2 would run on and use the hardware on any of these:

Thinkpad T22 P3 900mhz
Thinkpad T23 P3 1.1ghz
Thinkpad T40 PM 1.5ghz

Or an older P3 1ghz Sony Viao

????

Thanks
Colonel
Sounds like a sweet project you got going here. Keep us updated. biggrin.gif

Actually... this is quite awesome! The laptop actually just shipped a few days ago from California and will be here soon.

Does anyone have a authentic copy of Rhapsody DR2 x86 that I can buy? My burned copy is giving me hicups in my Thinkpad CD-ROM drive. PLEASE HELP!

Never mind! I decided to get another ThinkPad since I just realized that the 760XL I ordered has some major issues. Anyways, I just recieved my lovely ThinkPad 765L in the mail and I LOVE IT! Imagine... 1024x768 resolution, 16-bit high-color and, above all, AUDIO SUPPORT! Finaly, Rhapsody can speak to me in tounges! Yeah! I'll post pictures of my magnum-opus on the forums when I get a chance so you can all see this magnificent piece of work! Toodles! thumbsup_anim.gif

GTParted is nice... or you can use my slimmed down PartitionMagic 8.0 Rescue Disk which is available to download on my site.

I'm trying to install Rhapsody dr2 on Thinkpad 760XL. Can't get beyond diskettes. Mach gives me errno = 6 (Can't mount sd0, device is not ready). CD-rom doesn't even try to read. Is it the driver's issue? I really don't know which drivers requires my laptop. I tried installing common IDE and ATAPI controllers, but as you see, it didn't work.
Does somebody know which drivers could work on my Thinkpad 760XL? Or maybe my CD-rom is not compatible.

Please, help!

My Thinkpad isn't supported though on http://rhapsodyos.org it's "Theorized" it could work. I get an error that says I only have 2MB ram on both Rhapsody DR2 and Openstep 4.2. The system has 128MB of ram, I wonder if theres something I can do to fix this, it'd be nice to have rhapsody on this laptop, the specs ain't bad for it.
