Some BIOSes have an "emulation" or "legacy" mode that puts the USB port under BIOS control to emulate a PS2 KB/mouse. Also, there are USB drivers for DOS. Just do a Google search for USB DOS drivers.

Some people have run the card on slower laptops, but have not said how slow.

Don't know off the top of my head, but check www.csd.toshiba.com for the specs sheet and/or users manual in Adobe Acrobat format in the Support section of their website.

Don't have a L1-L5 series, but people have installed English OSs on the L5 already : http://www.ashelman.net/LibrettoL5/W2KP/ I would think it should be simple to install Windows on any L-series Libretto as long as the drivers work under that OS - but I'll leave that to someone who has a L-series to answer. adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs

Date: Mon, 1 Aug 2005 19:45:42 -0400 From: "Tony Oresteen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [LIB] L2 and Japanese Windows Keith, There are a couple of ways to do it. Here's how I would do it: 1. Copy the WIN98 directory from the Windows 98 SE CD on to a 128mb or 256mb CF card. It's 121 MB of files. 2. Boot the L2 using the floppy drive (I assume it has a bootable floppy) and Partition Magic 8.0 3. Create a 512mb partition at the END of the hard drive. FORMAT it FAT. Make sure the 1st partition with Japanese Windows is ACTIVE. 4. Boot Windows on the L2 and open My Computer. If you see C and D drives you can now copy the WIN98 directory files from the CF card (use a PCMCIA to CF adapter). If you don't see a second drive it's because it's marked "hidden". Win98 will see multiple primary partions on a drive IF they are marked with a status of NONE. I use System Commander to do this. 5. Re-boot Partition Magic 8.0 and now FORMAT the Japaness partition FAT 32. You will loose ALL DATA! 5. Now boot with a Win98 boot disk. At the command prompt go to the D: drive, change directoty to WIN98. Start SETUP and you are off. Other ways would be to just create a WIN98 directory on the C: drive, copy the WIN98 files, boot to a Win98 disk, delete all files except the Win98 and then run SETUP from the Win98 directory. I would get all the L2 drivers off the Toshiba site and copy them to floppy disks so you can get the hardware running that Win98 doesn't have.

Tony Docking station only has a DVD drive, nothing else, you would think they could have thrown in a few USB/PS2 ports or an extra PCMCIA slot, like in the old days on the L110CT Regards Des
