RE: [LIB] Libretto alternatives

I've been wondering about economical alternatives, until the libretto of your dreams becomes available on the used market. I've notice the $500 Toshiba Portege 7020CT / Intel Pentium II 366MHz / 128MB / 6.4GB / 13.3 TFT from (no affilitation)Tiger Direct, which reportedly weighs 4.4 lbs. Seems like a possible compromise. Hi Larry, There's the Sony U1 which teases me (apart from me being a cheapskate), the JVC notebooks which are interesting to say the least, the P2020 or similar... But in the end, the Lib is very useful. You could add a PCMCIA USB card to the L100 or 110 (NOT the 50 or 70) and have a travelling USB enabled computer. PS2 can be added with a bit of ingeniuty, I believe. Don't give up on the Libby yet :D Cheers, Nick. ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

Hi Larry, There's the Sony U1 which teases me (apart from me being a cheapskate), the JVC notebooks which are interesting to say the least, the P2020 or similar... But in the end, the Lib is very useful. I'd say if Toshiba brought out something like the PIII (NOT transmeta!) JVC InterLink (which can do anything the Libretto can, albeit in a slightly wider and deeper but thinner package) they'd make a killing ... PIII 800, firewire, sd/mmc, 40 gig, 256MB RAM ... *drool* You could add a PCMCIA USB card to the L100 or 110 (NOT the 50 or 70) and have a travelling USB enabled computer. PS2 can be added with a bit of ingeniuty, I believe. I've got details on the PS/2 port mod on my website at www.raybot.net (both keyboard AND mouse). Also from the information I have, it would appear that the USB controller is in fact on the Libretto side of the docking station connector so it would appear that all that's in the docking station for USB is the line driver (which is why it only works if you plug in the power supply) ... when I get some more time later on I'll investigate the possibility of rigging up a circuit to let the libby run USB without the docking station (although I can see there being problems given that unlike the L50/70, the L100/110 actually knows if it's docked or not). - Raymond --- /~\ | | Does fuzzy logic tickle?| | ___ | My HDD has no reverse.
