Fixes:

1.00
- (Fix) A small amount (8KB) of data could be overwritten and lost under the following circumstances:

• Hibernation is Enabled.
• There is data present on the last cylinder of the Hard Disk Drive.
• The ThinkPad actually enters Hibernation mode by pressing Fn-F12 or by customized power management options.
• NOTE: The problem does not occur when creating the Hibernation file.
• It only occurs when the ThinkPad actually enters Hibernation mode.
• Only 2.1GB Hard Disk has this problem. There is no problem with other hard disks currently available from IBM.

1.01
- (Fix) System intermittently hangs especially under communication environments.

1.02
- (Fix) (Windows 95 only) POST Error 1101 at power-on when the serial port configuration is changed by the Device Manager of Windows 95 while the system is "docked".

2.00
- (New) IBM 4GB and 5GB hard disk drives are supported.
- (New) IBM ThinkPad SelectaDockIII and IBM ThinkPad SelectaBase PC card enabler are supported.
- (New) SelectaDockIII "Wake up on LAN" feature is supported.

2.01
- (Fix) Power management incorrectly works after removing AC Power and then entering stand-by.
- (Fix) Windows95(OSR2) hangs after hibernation.
- (Fix) DMA is disabled in LPT mode after the parallel port resource is changed.
- (Fix) Shutdown incorrectly works in AC operating without battery, CDROM media being set or external FDD being connected.
- (Fix) IR communication fails when 760 is docked in SelectaDockI or SelectaDockII.
- (Fix) No video displayed after resuming from suspend with CRT cable disconnected and:
+ Display Device=CRT only
+ Virtual Screen=on
+ Resolution=1280x1024
- (Fix) Video Corruption intermittently occurs during POST and during Hardware Detect.
- (Fix) Video mode 12H won't be displayed on TV screen(NTSC/PAL).
- (Fix) MPEG player windows will move after switching display device with Fn+F7 key at 1024x768(resolution) and 43Hz(vert.).
- (Fix) A hang occurs at reboot while x8 speed CDROM is working.
- (Fix) Hangs during Operating System boot when 2 Memory DIMMs are installed on 150MHz models.
- (Fix) System intermittently hangs while operating on battery power.

2.10
- (Fix) Bit3 pci to vme bus card does not get configured in a Select-a-dock. The end result is an infinite loop between POST and Ezsetup.
- (Fix) Keystroke entry immediately after entering the power on password can result in failure of proper recognition of subsequent keystrokes. That is, a keystroke immediately after the entry of a password (before the operating system is fully loaded), can cause problems with any subsequent keyboard entry. If you experience this problem, update the BIOS with this SPSD.
- (New) Support for Windows 98
