Did someone check Parallel/Serial Ultrabay Slim Adapter for T61 on T400

Just a simple question. I need a serial adapter and the Parallel/Serial Ultrabay Slim Adapter is for me the best solution. If it really looks nice doesn't matter.
I just want to know if it works.

Edit: Okay, it seems that Serial Ultra Bay has not the ports as the ultra bay from T6x series. But then is the question, does Lenovo plan to create also this Parallel/Serial Ultrabay Slim Adapter for T400 series?

Did you investigate if the expresscard converters give you the full RS232 standard you require. The new expresscard slot on the T400 has better performance than USB 2 as it basically attaches directly to the bus.
T500: Vista 32, 2.8GHz, 4GB RAM, 15.4" 1680x1050, 500GB 7200rpm, ATI Radeon HD3650 + Intel 4500MHD. T42: XP, 1.7GHz, 2GB RAM, 14.1" 1024x768, 250GB PATA, ATI Radeon 7500.

Parallel/Serial Ultrabay Slim Adapter and the T61

Has anyone else tried one of these out on their systems at all?
I have a T61 7662 and received one of these Ultrabay adapters so I can have a native serial port on my machine (at this point I have to carry 2 machines in order to get my job done)
Installed the part as recommended in the manual enable the serial port in the BIOS, fire up the machine and Windows tells me that it cannot start the device, but yet the parallel port is started and runs perfectly. I called Lenovo support (After the basic troubleshooting tasks- Rollback drivers, uninstall/reinstall, check conflicts, etc) who sent me a second one of these and I am still having the same problem. Anyone have any suggestions? My machine info is below.
Machine Type: 7662-CTO
FRU P/N: 40Y8124
OS: XP with SP2
BIOS: 7LETA7WW (2.07) 12/6/07
PS. This is cross posted... but before anyone asks. Yes, I need native serial. Sorry if this is taken as rude but I am tired of being asked if a USB>Serial Adapter would work. If it would work I would have bloody well bought one by now...

I know several people who use this adapter for programming industrial robots or specialised measuring instruments which require a native serial port, all reports are 100% AOK

Did someone from Verizon actually call and ask me for my PIN? The number was an UNKNOWN

Someone called and asked for my husband then asked me for my PIN so they could talk to me about account options?
I did not solicite this call and I NEVER give any PIN #'s to anyone unless I called them. Was this actually Verizon or a scam?

probably scam. never give out your PIN.

IDE/PATA HDD UltraBay adapter for T61?

What is the part number for the UltraBay adapter that fits the T61 and accepts IDE/PATA hard disks?

the Z60 uses SATA hdd, so anything in 2.5 inch and 9.5 mm thickness format is okay, currently 640 gig is the largest.
Lenovo's figure are based on the largest hdd that was available when they released the machine, they don't update these value when new parts come out.

Ultrabay battery option for ThinkPad T400s?

Is there any available Ultrabay battery option that is compatible with the new T400s?
I know we have to get the new vIII of the Ultrabay SATA adapter for replacing the optical drive with a second SATA drive on the T400s, so I was wondering if the T400s requires a new Ultrabay solutions for adding battery through the Ultrabay?

The option number you need is 43R9250 - ThinkPad Advanced Ultrabay Battery II

Can someone check this?

Hi Everyone,
I'm just wondering if these two classes Movie and Viewer and the Application class look right for what I've done so far for the following problem. Any comments are greatly appreciated.
Also, using if statements, how am I going to check if the user is actually permitted to see the film and in what class will I put it in?
Using a class to represent each of the major entities involved and an application class which controls object and user interaction.
Write a program which implements a cinema entry system, according to the following rules:
Anyone can go to see a U rated film.
Only those aged 12 or over, or accompanied by an adult can go to see a PG rated film.
Only those aged 12 or over can go to see a 12s rated film.
Only those aged 15 or over can go to see a 15s rated film.
Only those aged 18 or over can go to see an 18s rated film.
Your program should present the user with the following list of film options:
(a) Blair Witch Project, 18s
(b) American Pie, 15s
(c) Lord of the Rings, 12s
(d) It?s a Wonderful Life, PG
(e) Aladdin, U
The program should ask the user what film they want to see, and then determine whether or not they are permitted to see the film. If they are not permitted, then
a list of the films they can see will be displayed.
Thanks,
A novice Java programmer

Viewer v1 = new Viewer(Input.readInt("Please enter your age: "), Input.readBoolean("Are you acompanied by an adult? (y/n): "));

There are a few things I don't quite understand. I'd love to explain!
Why would you declare and initialise the ratings in the
movie class if your using them in the viewer class.First, a little clarification: those ratings are static final variables. This means that, no matter how many instances of Movie you make, there is only one set of those ratings. If you've ever used enumerations in C++, it's a way of simulating those. In effect, it makes the logic easier and more efficient. Basically, NEVER refer to a rating by it's int value (don't use "1" instead of "RATED_U"). Anytime you want to refer to the rating 15s, always use Movie.RATED_18S.
Why did I put them in the Movie class? Because the rating is a property of a Movie, not a Viewer. Thus, the rating should be kept in the Movie class.
Basically, look at my suggestions as a lesson in some principles of Object Oriented design. You don't want to make the rating a String, because of the following case:
Using this as the variable declaration for the ratings:
private final String U = "U";
//etc...What if someone tried to assign "R" as the rating for a movie? They would be able to, because there are no control structures on what a String can be. If you use static final variables, however, they're given a set list of values they can assign as a rating.
This methodology is used commonly in the Java APIs (for example, MimeMessage.RecipientType.TO). It's a good practice, and in this program, it would simplify the logic greatly.
Secondly, I don't understand this if(this.getAge()
= 12 || this.isWithAdult()), what is gt?
"this" refers to the current instance of the class. It's not actually necessary in this context. You could just as easily replace those lines with if(getAge() >=12 || isWithAdult())
ThanksAnytime! This stuff I've thrown at you isn't exactly basic programming... if it's still unclear, feel free to ask more questions.

New Ultrabay Slim Optical Drive for T60

I'm after a new Ultrabay Slim Optical drive, whether CDRW or multiburner for my T60.
Cn anyone suggest what model numbers I should be looking for, as the currently available ones seem to be incompatible?
Many thanks.

Hello,
If I am reading the specs right, the following FRU's are compatible:
DVD±RW: 39T2570, 39T2828, 39T2829, 39T2851, 41N5643 , 42T2506
CD-RW/DVD-ROM: 40Y8783 (does not burn DVDs)
Please double-check with Lenovo support in your country, though, to verify compatibility with your machine type, which is listed on a sticker on the bottom of the unit, and will look something like "1234-ABC".

ThinkPad DVD Ultrabay Slim Burner

I bought an X61 tablet and Ultrabase X6 from a friend, which is shipping now. However, the Ultrabase doesn't have an optical drive. Would I be better off purchasing a Ultrabay Slim Burner (if this can be done) and installing it myself or buying a unit with a burner pre-installed?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi nicktodd, welcome to the forum,
I would just purchase the drive. There is a bay for the drive in the Ultrabase which has a weightsaver in it, just reove it and slot the drive in - couldn't be easier.

Did someone have experience to use downloaded driver for SR 245?

Did someone have experience to use downloaded driver for SR 245 to take data? I used GPIB-USB-HS cable (from NI) to collect data, and corrected GPIB address in the driver, which is found by M&A Explorer. When I ran this program driver, I saw ERROR light flashing one time and Activity light flashing for another time, but I got nothing for data. I used BNC cable to connect input signal in INPORT 1 in the front panel of SR 245, so there should have signal input. Do I need to change something in the program?
Thanks
Linghui

Hi Linghui,
The EABO error usually indicates a timeout. This could be caused by a
few different things such as sending an
incorrect command or not appending the correct termination
character. I would check the manual for your device and see if it requires a certain type of termination character, as well as what commands it accepts. You can also find troubleshooting techniques for this error here and here.
Hope this helps!

Actually, it is entirely accurate. Here is another related thread with a lot of pictures that demonstrate the problem. I have 3 Lenovo W520s and 3 useless Lenovo Ultramedia bay adapters. I cannot tolerate the gap because it causes frequent drive dismounts when I pick up the laptop when it is running or even touching the side. The newmodeus adapters I purchased to replace the defective Lenovo adapters have been rock solid! I recommend visiting all the picture links on this thread. It will clearly demonstrate the problem:

Shan, it isn't entirely correct because we have a lot of W510 and W520 users in my company this doesn't occur with. I am not discounting the problem. I only take exception to the statement that blankets ALL users and ALL hard drive adaptors. Doing that is incorrect.

There is now a restriction passcode on my iPod. I did not set it. Can it be set automatically or did someone go into my iPod and set it? I tried the default 0000 - it did not work.

Okay. I hope I can remeber all my steps exactly because I fixed my own problem...with absolutely no help from Apple. I opened itunes. I connected my ipod touch to my computer. On my itunes page that shows my songs in the upper right side under the search library box there is an itunes button and since I am connected there is an ipod button. DO NOT CLICK THE ARROW in the ipod button...just click in the mail part of the button. On mine it opened to a summary page that gave info on my ipod. The menu bar has Summary, Apps, Tones, Music and more. I clicked on the Music button. I chose to Sync the entire music library. That replaced what was on my ipod but what was on there was going to be put back on so I was okay with it. I then clicked the Sync button on the lower right side and it sync'd and all my songs are on my ipod again. I hope this might help someone else. Good luck.

Kernel-fglrx-custom: Please could someone check/improve my PKGBUILD

I decided to share a script as it has been very useful to me. I have never written a PKGBUILD before and it took some attempts to make a working one, so please could someone check the PKGBUILD over and let me know how horrible it is and what I should do differently
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kern … ustom-git/
It installs fine on my PC, but I'm pretty sure that I'm not using the PKGBUILD file properly.

There's a couple of things I would change:
1) The name doesn't really tell the user what the package is for. "kernel-fglrx-legacy" would probably be more helpful.
2) Rather than pulling a script that will then pull down the kernel package, why not use the existing kernel PKGBUILD in the ABS? You can easily modify that PKGBUILD to apply your script/patches.

Do they still incorporate Ultrabay Slim?

Hi all.
I believe my T42 2378EXU (awesome machine) is about ready for the boneyard.
I'm going to get a new machine, but on the Lenovo site I see no mention of the Ultrabay. I neeeeed the ultrabay (slim) as I have a HDD adapter and it will make life awesomeley awesome.
Ultrabay?
No Ultrabay?
Anyone with advice... Thank you in advance!

your drive would only work in T61 and T60 machines, as from T400 they changed the connector type from PATA to SATA.

          I have found, within the Apple site, that I can upgrade my 20inch, late 2006 iMac to 4GB RAM by replacing present RAM with two 2GB SO-Dimm in each of the two slots, although apparently the computer will only ever use a max. of 3GB.
          So that would be a start.
          On back-up for the 250 GB Hard disc with 100 GB 'available', I have an external hard disc, 500GB but with four partitions, total space available maybe 300GB.
          So it looks as if I need a new external HD of probably another 500GB.
          Have you any further comments ? In the meantime I will try to note any of the odd stuff, and postpone further action until after the New Year.
          Finally, I have Time Machine on a separate external HD of 500GB, with about 190GB available.
          Much appreciate you comments and asistance, meanwhile the Seasn's Greetings and Best wishes for 2014.
