I have however also done things like suspend the libby, dock it into the enhanced port replicator (which has a network card, mouse and KB attached) or plug a network card directly into the libby then resume it and its not only picked it all up but also renewed its IP lease with the DHCP connector and connected me to the network drives I had before! I can then suspend (even if I'm playing an MP3 off the hard drive say), undock, plug another card into the libby's own slot (a SmartMedia reader for instance), resume it, and keep playing that MP3 and immediately get access to that SmartMedia reader ... this should all be on the default settings for the libby, I've not got any 3rd party enhancements for this purpose. I do find that when I resume, the trackpoint mouse does need some time to recalibrate ... if you push it before thats finished, it'll have to calibrate again so it'll look as if the mouse has died ... let go of it for 20 seconds and it'll come back again. >I'm also convinced that something on the L70 accessories disk makes it >vastly more unreliable. Last time I reinstalled Win95 on this machine, >I didn't reinstall any of the Toshiba disks except the floppy driver, >and for several months I hardly had a crash when resuming. I've got the full suite of Toshiba utilities going on mine and its rock solid ... >I'm not even sure what some of these utilities do - the Shutdown >utility for example. This machine has always shut down OK without it, >so what does it add? AFAIK the shutdown utility is just to warn you of shutdown problems or something like that ... I've got it installed but I never use it. I do use the hairy lightbulb though ... - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
