My recollection is that 95 from a standard installation disk image uses the bios to address the floppy; though having loaded a 95 from the original toshiba floppies last week I was surprised to find that it too failed to see the floppy (which is, I submit, a bit rich!). Well firstly, the BIOS only treats the floppy as a standard floppy if it's seen on bootup (ie. you put the FDD in after bootup and without drivers it won't work anyway). Secondly, even if you boot with the floppy in, the moment that any program tries to initialize or query the PCMCIA slots AS PCMCIA slots (remember, the BIOS puts those slots into a 'weird' mode that lets the BIOS directly access the FDD), the BIOS lets go of the FDD. I found this out the hard way when I tried to do a floppy install of Linux but using a boot disk that enabled a PCMCIA CD-ROM drive (I had both the FDD and CD plugged in using the EPR). The moment it hit the code that initialized the PCMCIA slots (to access the CD-ROM drive), I lost FDD access ... I *think* I confirmed this in the list somewhere, otherwise it was on a website somewhere the location of which I've long since forgotten ... heh I'm not inclined to experiment further because I just used 95 as a vehicle to get 98 and linux cd images on the HD for daughter's machine.

Otherwise everything else we've said is irrelevant ... heh Make sure it's safe mode command prompt ... I don't know if CnC services are loaded on a standard command line boot.

I'd hazard a guess that *maybe* Win95 doesn't, by default, try to initialize the PCMCIA cards (I recall after install, having to double click on the PCMCIA icon in control panel to actually install the 32 bit access drivers). Perhaps until you do that, Win95 won't initialize PCMCIA on boot and hence won't knock the BIOS off it's special FDD access routines when in contrast, Win98 will initialize PCMCIA straight away? That may have been confirmed by me. What happens under linux is that the first load of the floppy is via the bios. Thereafter linux installs its own floppy drivers which bypass the bios, and lo and behold there ain't no floppy there... bugger!

I'm pretty sure most of the USB cards they sell won't work (requires Cardbus PCMCIA socket) -- is there another option? Yup as far as we know there is no way of getting USB working on the 50/70CT ... what sort of memory card does your camera use? 99.9% of digital cameras use SmartMedia, SecureDigital/MMC, CompactFlash or Memory Stick, for all of these you can get PCMCIA readers for them (which don't require cardbus). Indeed, in most cases, the readers pick up using the standard drivers available under Win95 and above! For cards with controllers (mostly CompactFlash), these readers are very cheap ($10USD perhaps), for controller-less cards (SmartMedia, *possibly* MS and SD/MMC but I'm not sure) the readers are a bit more expensive. Note that especially with a controller-less card, do NOT remove the card before you 'stop' and make sure you don't suddenly shut down or hibernate without ejecting the card during a write, otherwise you run a very real risk of damaging the card (take it from someone who has!).

In short however, I found that by far the easiest way of doing things is to slap on a drive converter and temporarily put it into your desktop as the only hard drive (disconnect all the other hard drives). Then do a normal install (using the desktop's CD-ROM drive) but do NOT set up X and do not tell it to use a graphical login. Also don't install any 'options' that may be specific to your desktop. Then put the hard drive into your laptop, let Kudzu run (to reconfigure things for the libby), then run Xconfigurator to set up X, then do any other setup/recompiles you need to get sound, PCMCIA, etc. working.

Just pull the card out from the camera, insert into adapter, insert into Libretto and poof! it shows up like a removable HD. Very nice and faster than USB transfers, too! This is how I do it on my Libretto 110, too. I was in NY a few months back, and with my L110 in a day carry case, and my Fuji 40i in my belt case, I easily travelled up and down Manhatten taking pictures all day long w/o worry. Run out of flash memory? Just turn on the Libretto, dump the images to the HD, and start with empty flash cards for another couple hundred pictures on the go. Next time I go, I'll be ready with my PCMCIA GPS unit as well - never need a paper map ever again with MapPoint! (Thankfully, Microsoft does give away freebies when you signup for their local presentations and events now and then. Good thing to pickup free software. Was able to get both Office 97 and MapPoint for free in the past.) = adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __ Do you Yahoo!?

Ran Genecyst Sega Genesis emulator at full speed on my overclocked to 100Mhz L50/J when I had it years ago w/o any problems. Just the perfect thing waiting around during jury duty =) So, maybe ZSNES isn't as optimized? Can't imagine the SNES having much more power than the Genesis __ Do you Yahoo!?
