A tip & a question. Tip: I've been using a Compact Flash card to move data from my desktop to my Libretto. I use a CF to PCMCIA adapter in the Libretto 100CT and a CF USB reader on my desktop. For $75 I bought a new SanDisk 1 GB CF card from B&H Photo NY. You can copy an entire cd-rom to the CF card and then copy it to the HD in the LIBRETTO without needing to haul an external CD-ROM drive. Use a USB 2.0 CF reader if you can (My home readed is USB 2.0, my work readed is USB 1.1. Big difference!!!) Question: If I leave the CF in the Libretto and re-boot Windows 98, Windows 98SE crashes. I remove the CF card, reboot and all is fine. Once Windows is booted I can insert the CF card and Win98 sees it just fine. I've tried it with CF cards that are 64mb, 128mm, 512mb, and 1 gb. Same problem. Windows 98 won't boot with the CF card in place. The message I get is that there is a problem with the STACKS and to increase it. No mater what I do with the STACKS command in the CONFIG.SYS file Win98 crashes on boot with a CF card inserted into the PCMCIA slot. Any ides? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tony Oresteen Montverde, FL
