 Define 'network' ... you can get a USB2.0 card then
 use a USB2.0 link cable 
 between 2 computers, you could also get a USB2.0 to
 ethernet adapter then 
 run a proper network ... but once you start doing
 adapters, you have all 
 sorts of other weird and wonderful options ...
 USB2.0 to Parallel to 
 Laplink network anyone? :-D

 Real quick... does anyone know if it's possible to
 network a Libby via a USB 2.0 card?

Well... I have an ethernet switch that connects my
desktop, Libretto and any other system that may
woander by incuding my other Libby's at times.  I'm
just wondering how to go about setting USB 2.0 as a
method of networking in Windows XP/2K/98 network
settings if it's possible at all.

Parallel is for losers.
3-wire serial has far better range - l33t.

USB2 to serial - cool misuse of technologies.
Then use interlnk.exe and intersvr.exe from DOS.
Or fxlink if you want a gui.

 Subject: Re: [LIB] echo indigo
...
 And then I need a good EQ, as I'm continually
 adjusting it to make up for the low tech (cheap) audio
 equipment I've got.  I know a lot of audiophiles will
 have nothing to do with any type of EQ at all... But
 then they generally have $20,000 and up audio systems.

One of those things. Remember that *under no circumstances* can you hear the 
sound *as recorded* anywhere except in the original mixdown studio. Your amp 
is different, your speakers are different, the acoustics of your room are 
different, the background noise is different... hell, even the volume is 
likely different and as the frequency response of the human ear varies with 
volume...

That said, a few general thoughts on buying amps and speakers in general... 
find a pair of speakers of which you like the sound. Don't go mad, but look 
for something that doesn't have any obvious resonances in their response and 
that can cope with extreme choices from your taste in music - in my case, I'm 
quite happy to go to a hifi shop with a fistful of my own CDs - e.g. violin, 
piano, and organ concerti, full symphonies, heavy metal, solo voice, capo 
verde jazz... whatever. Listen to the speakers through a single amp and 
decide which you like the sound of best.

I'd recommend if the amps have eq, centering the controls. Once you've found 
the speakers you like, switch alternate amps to the speakers. At this stage, 
the salesman will be going wild and enthusing about pace, rhythm, control, 
stage etc. Tune him out, he's an idiot. When you seek an amp, get one capable 
of outputting *more* power than the speakers can officially handle. The 
salesman will go 'eek' but that way, you'll be unlikely to overload the amp, 
thus you won't generated the dangerous squarewave clipping signal that *will* 
kill your speakers...

Each of the speaker pairs will sound different; each of the amps will sound 
different... but there's likely to be a combination in there that you like, 
even in the less than optimal environment of the shop.

The reason for avoiding eq is that if done in the analogue domain, it will 
introduce phase shifts depending on frequency... which can lead to stereo 
image shifts as well as potentially introducing harmonic distortions... but 
again, it's a matter of taste.

For what it's worth, my home audio is over ten years old; a pioneer amp and 
wharfedale speakers that cost under three hundred quid at the time.


  I think John is referring to the old school
 
  audiophile
 
  beef with digital\CD\semiconductor audio playback
 
  vs.
 
  analog\vinyl\tube based audio.  Right John, or not?
 
  Uooh, that's hot topic ;-). And I'm not really
  qualified for this since
  I lack the 10k $/EUR hifi equipment (both
  semiconductor and tube).

 Okay... $10K is a starting point I guess... ;-P

Heh. See above. But the last pair of speakers I bought professionally were 
eighteen thousand pounds *each* :)


  Never really ventured into WINE land, I tried it a
  couple of times on my
  desktop (unsuccessfully). From the little experience
  I had I would say
  it's a nogo on a 50ct (it draws quite some CPU).
  Anyone with experience
  on a 110ct?

 From Neil's comments, I'm now wondering if a 110 could
 handle it.


I'd still not recommend it - ok if you want to play patience or use word, but 
by the time you're asking it to emulate all the windows audio buffers and 
then the linux sound system buffers on top of that... you're on a hiding to 
nothing :)

One point about your requirement for eq on the lib player - recall that eq is 
one of the heavier computational requirements to be done with any accuracy, 
though on an mp2 playback it could be done once the signal has been decrypted 
but not yet decoded at very little cost - I doubt that that's how they do 
it...

[LIB] Linux On Libretto - CD Drive Internet Connection Setup

From: Mark Srebnik [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Linux On Libretto - CD Drive  Internet Connection Setup

Greetings,

As mentioned in previous post finally got Linux installed on my 110CT.

Using AmigoLinux (Slackware derivative), so easy to install

Now my issues are:

1) Getting my external CDRW/DVD drive (EXP 2400P) working

2) Getting connected to internet. Have DSL broadband at home.

Can use either my either my PCMCIA ethernet 10/100 card (also have a
wireless PC Card).

I checked the /etc/rc.d/rc.modules file and don't think I see what I have
listed.
 
Ethernet Cards: 
Linksys EtherFast 10/100 PC Card Model PCMPC100 or
AirLink+ Cardbus Network Adapter 10/100 PC Card

Wireless Card: 
D-Link Airplus XTreme G, Model DWL-G650

Any suggestions on how to get these working?

Thanks,

Mark

get the infos about your CD, with cardctl ident
and then add lines in your /etc/pcmcia/config
and make a paragraph like theese:
card ATA/IDE Fixed Disk
 function fixed_disk
 bind ide-cs
card SunDisk SDCFB-6
 function fixed_disk
 bind ide-cs
card Freecom IQ-drive
 version FREECOM, PCCARD-IDE
 bind ide-cs
if it don't work, send also the output of dump_cis
