I realize this isn't *really* libretto related but I figured some people here might know the answer ... I'm considering getting a Sony Clie PEG-NX70V PDA (has internal 640x480 digital camera, takes videos with sound, has support for CompactFlash type 2, 200MHz processor, PalmOS5, MP3 player, verry nice!) to complement my Libretto (hey I'm trying to make a Libretto connection here ...) but being in Oz, I know it'll be about 3 months before they come out here (they started/will start appearing in stores in the US and Japan on the 19th of October ...) and when it does it'll come out at twice the price of that in the US or Japan. I'm wondering if any of you have had good experiences with stores that will ship to Australia, will stock things like these in English versions and will not charge like a wounded bull? I notice that the obvious 2 that have been mentioned on the list - Dynamism and Conics - don't have PDAs listed on their websites (can you get them in, Brett?) ... - Raymond --- /~\ | | Does fuzzy logic tickle?| | ___ | My HDD has no reverse.

Subject: RE: [LIB] Matt's new toy ;-)
From: David Chien [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The lid is my only real concern. So I'm going to take Nick's advise
and open it up and have a look at the hinge. I don't know how well I
described how much lid movement I have before I experience resistance.
But measuring it, I find I get a total of 3/4 inch of loose travel before
I experience the
No play at all here on my L110. Resistance felt through the entire 180
degree range.
I spent the night of taking the 100CT close to completely apart, checking it
over, and putting it all back together. The left hinge assembly looks okay.
It looks like the metal strap screwed to the lid has a piece of cylindrical
plastic riveted to a flange that acts as the hinge. I suspect that plasic
piece is what broke on Nick's Lib.
It turns out the source of the extra play in the lid is a result of 1 of 3
cracks on the side edge of the top half of the case. It's right under the
space in between the screen and the left hinge/mic post. When I watch the
post when I move the lid backwards, the post flexes outward from the lid.
When I pull the screen forward, it leans inward toward the screen.
The whole top half of the case fell apart into 2 pieces when I pulled it
off. The other 2 splits are right beside the Ctrl and End keys.
Essentially the 1/3 of the case above the battery separates from the back
2/3. But it all screws back together relatively securely, albeit after a
bit of extra puzzling.
** Anyone have a 100CT case sitting around?!! **
Does anyone know if there's a fix for the stiff buttons?
An external mouse. I've used my L110 for quite a bit and it's still the
same stiff feel.
Heh... I've been using an external mouse on the 50 and 70 for a few years!
Accupont is a lot cooler than the standard notebook mouse. But at home, why
bother?
Funny... My brother's girlfriend visiting from Sweden said that ALL
notebooks that she's seen over there have accupoint mice! She'd never seen
a touchpad or that mouse-in-the-keyboard type of mouse.
Charger cords:
http://www.hirose.co.jp/ makes the L100/L110 power connectors.
HRS is stamped on the connector.
snip
I guess is does make sense to have one of these when you travel with two
batteries. That way you only need to bring one AC adaptor. Good to know
parts are available.
Then at some point I'd really like to set up the W2K OS on the 100,
and pray for less crashing.
been running win98se on my L110 forever and it has rarely ever crashed.
I've found the cause of the W98SE crashes. It's my CF PC card reader. For
some reason I can plug it in, but can't pull it out without the system
freezing. It may be conflicting with the modem that I used to have to pull
out of the 70 to prevent lock up at boot. However I can leave the modem in
the 100 when it boots. I'll have to test the CF reader without the modem
plugged in.
Key is to always to a fresh install of the OS, drivers, apps and
settings, then backup everything to CD-R. That way, system is totally
stable for months,even years to come. Install apps over apps over time and
you'll get a messed up system.
Since you pointed this out a number of months back, I've been doing that.
Plus I have an extra partition on my 20MB HDD, so I leave one fresh
installation alone and intact as my backup. I'll have to backup the ghost
file it I go multi OS.
Then again, computers DO listen to me when I'm around, so they never
badly misbehave...
Heh... I said that about my ability to keep W98 tamed a day before it went
nuts! ;-P

[LIB] Again off topic - Writing a SmartMedia card's CIS ...
Date: Sat, 19 Oct 2002 17:32:04 +0800 From: Raymond [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Again off topic - Writing a SmartMedia card's CIS ... Hi all! I'm having a bit of an issue with a SmartMedia memory card ... I plugged it into my Libretto's PCMCIA converter just as it went into suspend and as a result, corrupted the first meg or so of the card. The problem is the card's CIS (card identification structure, stores a variety of information about the memory card) was damaged in the process. Now I know there are some programs out there that can rewrite the CIS in their formatting processes but they're reader specific (the one for the Zio is well documented for instance). Generally these readers have a program called smprep.exe coming with their drivers which does this for them. It isn't possible to use standard formatting tools or even disk editing tools to write this CIS because the drivers for the reader treat such commands as standard disk commands and hence show the programs what they're expecting - a disk of some sort - and hide the SM card specific details such as the CIS. I've heard that it's possible to write the CIS on a memory card when it's connected using a PCMCIA converter (which are pretty generic anyway) but I've not been able to find anything further such as that smprep program (these readers show up as ATA drives so they don't ship with drivers since Win95OSR2 and above have been able to use them with inbuilt drivers). Does anyone know anything about this or, even better, know where the equivalent program to smprep.exe for a PCMCIA/PC card SM reader may be found? - Raymond --- /~\ | | Does fuzzy logic tickle?| | ___ | My HDD has no reverse.

Re: [LIB] Max Memory Question
Date: Sat, 19 Oct 2002 09:00:01 -0400 From: Gennadiy Tsygan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] Max Memory Question I did some research on the memory question, and found the chipset used in Libretto 100/110 is the same as in other Toshiba notebooks with more memory. So I decided to try to replace chips on the upgrade module with higher capacity ones and see what happens. Then I found out, that high density EDO chips- needed to have 64 MB on 4 chips, are very hard to find and expensive. When I learned that my experiment will cost more then $350, and outcome is very uncertain, I decided to direct my energy elsewhere. The only component level performance upgrade available for Libretto is overclocking by changing bus frequency multiplier on CPU. When I had L100, I tried to overclock it by changing the bus speed itself, but it refused to work at 75 MHz. - Original Message - From: Lawrence Fieman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Libretto [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 8:38 AM Subject: Re: [LIB] Max Memory Question Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2002 08:30:54 -0400 From: Lawrence Fieman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] Max Memory Question What restricts maximum memory?

Re: [LIB] On my top 10 of Lib/Windows beefs

Does anyone have a fix for clicking on the A: drive Yes, this problem is solved when you install the floppy driver which sets up, I beleive, fdcmon.vxd which lets the OS quit searching in vain for the missing floppy. Okay... but I don't even see any FDD driver listed for the 100CT on the Toshiba website: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modItemList.jsp?ProductMenu_0=PortablesProductMenu_1=LibrettoProductMenu_2=1073769616BV_SessionID=;@@@1066793854.1035028021BV_EngineID=ccchadcgiddmlmlcgfkceghdgngdgll.0moid=1073769616smoid=truect=DLListType=Modelx=31y=8 For the L50, that file was part of the accessories zipped archive l50utils.exe on the Tosh website. Can we use that one somehow.? I downloaded the Toshiba Windows 95 Accessories for Libretto 100CT file 100acsy.exe from that page. But there's no FDD drivers I can see in it, unless it's in one of the data files. Another thing. I was looking at the sound drivers for to L100 on the Tosh site, and the only ones are for Win95. But the driver page for the L50 shows a Win98 sound driver package fot the 100CT!! So I wonder if the 1-2 minute wait I had for MusicMatch to load to play a portion of a MP3 I was downloading might be because the Win95 sound drivers might have been installed on this L100. I wonder what other L100 W98 drivers are lurking in the wrong places on the Tosh site. Thanks, Matt _ Unlimited Internet access -- and 2 months free!

I'm curious about whether or not you figured out the formatting for that SmartMedia card. Did it need to be formatted for FAT12 or FAT16? Turns out FAT12 goes to 64 meg ... but further research indicated that it wasn't the file system that was causing the camera to reject the card, it was the corrupt CIS ... This sorta thing tended to happen a lot with the older Diamond Rio MP3 players because when they reformatted cards they wrote their own CIS's onto the cards and caused digital cameras to reject them. There is a well documented hack to get around it on the Rio as well as on the Zio cardreader/writer but none of them seem to want to work on the PCMCIA adapter I've got :-/ - Raymond --- /~\ | | Does fuzzy logic tickle?| | ___ | My HDD has no reverse.
