Libretto list info: List archive 1: http://www.technoir.org/cgi-bin/libretto.cgi List archive 2: http://www.mail-archive.com/libretto@basiclink.com To unsubscribe: http://www.mail-archive.com/libretto@basiclink.com/msg16212.html This is my 3rd attempt to post this message. I sent 2 from my hotmail on two consecutive days. Though later posts came through from poeple, my two never made it back to me or to the archives. I wish we could coax Dan to axe the old server software and get something new installed that is stable for once. One of you volunteered to set up up, well, if you're still on the list. I'd really like to get a petition going to see how many people are tired of Dan's server software choking on SPAM all the time, requiring him to manually go in and clean ot out. Inevitably posts end up lost in the process. Anyway... let's see if this makes it to the list from this Yahoo account: ---------------------------------- >Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2007 20:59:53 -0000 >From: "Michael Heathcote" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > >Michael...

That's really odd. We both have similar Librettos, are using the same W98SE OS, ostensibly are using the same drivers... but it works for me and not for you. I wonder if comparing driver files in the same manner Avi & I compared Stream.sys files would help. I'm not that technically savvy, and can't find any referent of them in Device Manager, but these seem to be the related files: Pwrsave.cnt Pwrsave.cpl pwrsave.exe Pwrsave.hlp Pwrsave.ico Pwrsave.vxd And it looks like the Toshiba driver package was named: L100ctrl.exe I can't seem to find any other Toshiba driver package in my archives that contains the same power saving files specifically for the 110. And I have L100ctrl.exe filed in a folder labeled: * 100CT W95 Toshiba Windows 95 Controls & FDD drivers Toshiba never maintained a consistent method for naming their driver packages from one Lib model to the next which can be frustrating as all get out. And it seems I had to install the W95/100CT driver package with the power saving files onto my 110 to get power saving working properly. > >Have you checked the data transfer rate from your PCMCIA external HDD > >to the Libby's HDD Michael?

Last I checked over a year ago, the highest capacity cells that fit in the Lib packs were 1600mah over the 1200mah originals. Maybe there are new ones out with higher capacity. >I know I have said this before, but the playback quality on the Libretto >screen is superb.If you have a 100 or 110CT, buy a DVD-to-Go card if >you can, you won't be disappointed! And you can get them for as little as $10 - $15 on EBay as I did! Matt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
