TP 560 - No PCI bridge support after Windows 95 re-install
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
When re-installing Windows 95 from scratch on the Thinkpad 560, there is no driver for the PCI Bridge.
Details:
When Windows 95 is installed from scratch on a Thinkpad 560, a Standard PCI bridge is detected and you choose the Windows Default driver which works fine. The next thing that is detected is a PCI Bridge. The Windows default driver is greyed out and you must either provide it with a driver diskette or ignore it and continue.
The driver does not exist on any of the existing driver diskettes for the 560. In Windows 95 Device Manager, the PCI bridge will have an exclamation point beside it.
This is not a problem on TP 560s with preloaded Windows 95. On a preloaded 560 in Device Manager there is a PCI Standard Host Bridge listed, but no PCI Bridge.
Impact:
There is no performance impact or actual problem. This is a false error and can be ignored.
Solution:
A driver diskette has been released that will correct this false reading. The file name is:
560PCI.EXE ....... Win95 PCI bridge driver tp-560
To obtain a copy of this diskette, DoubleClick here : - 
This driver diskette can be inserted when prompted for the driver for the PCI Bridge during the install process. It can also be used after Windows 95 has already been installed through device manager.
From device manager select PCI bridge and click properties then select the driver tab and click the Change driver button. Click the Have disk button and insert the 560 PCI driver diskette. Windows 95 will recognize a 82430MX controller and display it by that name in device manager.
