Subject: MARGI - Was: [LIB] Lib list server belly up?
I just discovered my 32MB RAM extension card has been loose, and hasn't been
recognized for a few days. But not knowing that yet, today I was able to
play MPEG-2 video with the MARGI card and software. Now I don't know if
this means that Alan should be able to >install< the card and software with
only 32MB of system RAM or not.
I discovered the loose card after reinstalling W2K. My Echo Indigo sound
card had stopped working while playing MP3s via Winamp. I gave up trying to
troubleshoot the problem thinking it was an OS problem. But upon checking
which service pack was installed with my W2K installation, I found the
system was only seeing the basic 32MB RAM.
I was reading Philip's page on setting up W2k on the 110, and was wondering
if I ought to try disabling SFP. But it seems he was dealing with SP2.
I've got SP3 installed, and will probably upgrade that to SP4. I don't see
any info on disabling SFP in W2K SP4 though.

If I try either an ISO mounted with DaemonTools ripped from a region 2 dvd,
or opening a vob file direct from the hard disk the libretto just displays a
black window and doesn't do much else (hard disk light is permanently on).<
I'm running a libretto 110 with 32Mb of ram<<<<<<<!!!!
32MB of RAM??? You don't have the 32MB expansion card to bring the 110 up to
64MB RAM? I'd say that'd probably be the problem. I got the Margi working in
both W2K and W98SE with only installing the drivers that either you, Avi, or
someone else pointed out some time back now. The hardest part of the process
was finding the card I buried in my storage unit after I gave up on it ages
ago.
I do have to say though... the darned thing is >not< the most stable thing
running on the 110. It's like playing roulette each time I play a video.
Sometimes it'll play for and hour or more. At other times it'll lock up 2-3
times in an hour. I haven't really been keeping tabs on the odds though. I
must say though, it is pretty cool to be playing MPEG-2 video on the 110.
