How many size harddisk can I extend, and size to extend > the RAM, possible to use CD ROM? You can expand the RAM to 32M - expansion modules (8M or 16M) pop up on Ebay and here from time to time. This is the single biggest improvement you can make, speed-wise... Hard disks up to at least 20MB are possible - but there are bios implications which means you need to take care in formatting the disk. Lots of info in the archive. CD roms can be used - though none of them as far as I know (the original Tosh drive may be an exception) will allow you to boot from them. You can do little without either the pcmcia floppy drive or another machine into which you can insert a new hard disk, so you should probably look for a floppy drive. > > The second question is, when booting my libretto, I have to press F 1 and > then press Esc & yes before entering the Windows 95. (and battery calender > always 1990) . Do you have a suggestion for this ? You probably need a new bios battery. www.micsol.com or other places in the archives. It's possible that you can get the battery to charge if you leave the machine turned on while connected to the mains for a couple of days. (Note that the main battery doesn't charge when machine is turned on, but only when the machine is off - but the bios battery only charges when turned on!) If you come across e.g. a ct70 with a broken screen, you can transfer the guts into the 50 with the advantages of a faster processor and charging the battery while running. Enjoy the machine.
