Congrats on your 100CT! I overcloced mine to 266MHz but found it unstable
when using PCMCIA cards. I slowed it to 233MHz and all is fine.
Any 110CT driver will work with the 100CT.
Get the latest BISO from Toshiba. I run Win98SE on mine and it is very
stable.
You really need to find a 32MB RAM module to get to the max of 64 MB RAM.
I have a 40 GIG hard drive in my 100CT which is very nice. With FAT32
partitions you can use ISO images. Right now a 120 Gig drive will cost you
$90 plus shipping.
Good luck!

Subject: Margi DVD-to-Go card works!
I've been a member of this list for over 6 years or more, but I have not
used my 50CT for quite a while since buying a Portege 3490CT. The main
problem of the 50CT been lack of 32 bit cardbus & USB with modern
peripherals.
While surfing on ebay last week I noticed a 100CT going for a good price
with only a few minutes left, an impulse bid and I won!
For only 87 pounds I now have a 100CT, std & extended batteries, standard
dock, enhanced dock, power supply & floppy. Well pleased! Unmodified
standard clock speed, original HDD but unfortuately only the on board 32MB
RAM...you can't have it all I guess!!!
Now a few years ago I bought a Margi DVD-to-Go card with dongle for my
Portege, but at the time I did not realise the Portege was not Zoom Video
supported, so the card has not been used.
Today I gave the card a go in the 100CT, and after reading many posts over
the years with people not been able to get the card to work in the 100 or
110CT, I was quite shocked when it worked!
Presently the 100CT is running windows 95 with only 32MB Ram running at
166MHz. What I did notice was that windows automatically loaded the
incorrect driver for the card when first inserted and did not initially
work. Updating the driver for the correct one from Margi solved the
problem.
Full screen seemless DVD playback & audio playing a DVD from my 16 bit
PCMCIA 4x Argosy external DVD ROM drive. Amazing!
Now that I know it works I am going to change the HDD for something larger
and load Windows 98SE for the USB support. Hope the Margi DVD-to-Go card
works okay under Windows 98SE!
Now a quick question. Does it matter whether I use 100CT or 110CT drives
for
my 100CT? There appears to be more drivers available for the 110CT on the
Toshiba website for 98SE.
Thanks,
Mike.
