Mmm, I was rather hoping the solution was not to upgrade to a 100/110. Librettos are rather seldom here in Norway, I have only seen two others on the online auctions here. Ebay doesn't seem to be such a big thing here, I hear and see people mentioning Ebay, but never actually buying something through them. Anybody here selling? I have been thinking of trying to find a Portege actually, as Librettos are non-existant here. Re PCMCIA/PCcard: Most old cards are 16 bit/5V. A new standard was created giving 32bit/3.3 V. To accomodate the old cards a dual power supply was incorporated, delivering 3.3 or 5 V. To prevent new 3.3 V cards getting fried in an old 5 V slot the keying was changed. PC-Card types usually also have a earth strap across the top near the plug. I know of one mixed up card: D-link's wireless card has a PCMCIA 5 V housing, but only supports 3.3 V. Took me some while to find out why everthing installed and was recognized, but still didn't work! Re the USB adapter, I was hoping for a, say, LPT-USB adapter, or a network-USB adapter. I suppose it's time to upgrade... :-\ Thanks, br Franklin ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
