Fixes:

1.00
- (New) Windows 95 requirement support of I/O resource relocatable for ESS Audio(TP760EL/ELD only).
- (Fix) Hibernation does not complete and system hangs in case that Hibernation file is created on HPFS partition of WARP for systems with more than 8MB memory.

1.01
- (Fix) Suspend intermittently inhibited when RI resume function is enabled.
- (Fix) Display diagnostics intermittently fail with error code 53-02.

1.02
- (Fix) When total system memory size is 64MB or more, the system can not correctly enable PCI SCSI Controller or PCI Ethernet card attached to the SelectaDock.
- (Fix) Thermal problem (Tune up the stop clock function for power saving).
- (Fix) IBM ThinkPad Space Saver Keyboard initialization returns an error.
- (Fix) Easy-Setup prompt "Disabled Devices" when more than two video devices are detected. This message means when multiple video devises are detected and it disables one of the devices as they cannot coexist. It is mistaken for an error message. Easy-Setup menu is changed so that it will not display this panel.

1.03
- (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.

1.04
- (Fix) POST operation takes long time when the Selecta-Dock II has no IDE harddisk drive or CD-ROM attached to it.

1.05
- (Fix) System intermittently hangs especially under communication environments.
- (Fix) Customized Typematic rate is reset at the Hibernation wake-up time.
- (Fix) Some external monitors are not OFF when system is suspended.
- (Fix) PCI BIOS cannot handle GetIRQRouting function.

1.06
- (Fix) Screen image corrupts after waking up from Hibernation mode.

1.07
- (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) Windows95 (OSR2) hangs after hibernation.
- (Fix) Power management incorrectly works after removing AC power and then entering stand-by.
- (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) Video Corruption intermittently occurs during POST and during Hardware Detect on models with Trident 9385 Video.
- (Fix) Hangs during Operating System boot when 2 Memory DIMMs are installed on 120MHz/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.
