serial port not showing on thinkpad: dmesg.txt

[Janina Sajka]

Cheryl:

It is possible that the Windows on this Thinkpad is 2000, and that the 
file system is NTFS, in which case you would get nothing on the C:> drive 
by booting DOS. Very possible.

Would you try putting the ps2 files on a floppy? You may still be able to 
configure your bios this way.

And, to answer your question, yes, the back slash is above return/enter. 
Actually, I find the Thinkpad keyboard brillaintly designed. Other than 
the FN key in the lower left corner, every key can be guessed correctly. 
The Function keys are grouped by fours, the six-pack is intact in the 
upper right hand corner, the cursor cross is identifiable as such, etc. 
And, once you know that the lower left key is fn, the two next to it are 
easily guessed to be ctrl and alt followed by the space bar.

I'm sure you've gotten that by now! <grin>
