So you would have to install that first, and then install the MSIR2.0
software, or am I getting confused =O)
Did you just grab that from Toshiba's site then, cos I still cant find the
damn thing! =O)

Worth noting.
I remember reading somewhere about a Sony CD-ROm and SCSI PCMCIA card which
was a great size for the lib, and of course it doubled up as a portable CD
player. Does anyone know of anything like this for DVD drives? I know that
you can get small ones, but all the ones that I have seen are a single
device on the interface. It would be great to be able to hook up a Zip drive
to it as well when Im at home.
On another note, I tried to play back a DivX movie on my lib last night. Had
to put the MP3 audio quality down to minimum, and the movie did skip a lot,
but I think that if I clock it to 266MHz it might be able to cope without
the skipping.
So...
Has anyone clocked their 100CT this high, and what is their experiences of
using it at this speed?
Is there time limit before it will crash / lock up / whateveer due to the
heat, or can you get away with it?
I tend to use it on the enhanced dock a lot, and the 3COM Megahertz modem
card come heat up a log cabin in the rocky's! =O)

Right oh. Ive changed the COM port on the dock to be assigned as COM2 so I
hopefully wont have any problems when I try to install the Infra Red AGAIN!
=O)
Just need to get the Toshiba file now.
