501.0. "Request patch list for Hinotes!" by MAASUP::TURRO (Make it so number 1) Wed May 07 1997 07:18

    Is there another patch for the Hinotes ? The reason I ask
    is I was looking at a Western States Home Page and they listed
    a mobile.exe filw which has to do with the IRQ issues on the 
    Hinotes/WIN95. The other patch I tried on some laptops was
    the AGP8w95A.exe which worked on some laptops but not others.

501.1The Real Mobile Media Patch is...SWAM1::WOLFE_LEWed May 07 1997 11:549
      Sorry for the confusion on the mobile media patches.  At first I was
    renaming patches before they were posted so they were more descriptive
    on what problem they addressed.  Since then, patches are posted with
    their original name.  Mobile.exe is AGP8w95A.exe.  Descriptions can be
    found in the index file located in each subdirectory.  If a newer patch
    is released which supersedes an existing version, the old version will
    be pulled.

    Has anyone in your part of the world installed the patche ie 
    AGP8W95A.exe.. ? If so did it work in "all" instances ?
    
    I have installed it on about 10 Hinotes . I recollect it working on
    only 3 or 4 of them like it should. The rest never got the fixes
    as advertised !

    Mike,
    
       Just installing the patch works the majority of the time. If it
    fails to work, delete the mobile media module and ESS sound device from
    the device manager. Install the new AGP8W95A update driver and shut down 
    the Hinote. Install the mobile media module and boot the system.
    Windows 95 will detect the new hardware and add the device back in with
    the new drivers. The new driver prevents the mobile media module from
    walking on the com ports, and forces the use of high consecutive IRQ's.
