[LIB] USB port on L100 / L110
Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2005 06:26:00 -0800 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: USB port on L100 / L110 I don't know if anyone else saw this link from Vitaly, http://chiba3.dip.jp/notepc/ss1000.html But if you look at it you will see instructions for adding a USB port to the Libretto ff1100V computer. Looking very carefully at it and comparing the signals on the Port Replicator connector on the Lib L100 /L110 CT Notebooks, it would appear you could do the same thing to these. From the Libretto manual, page 211, Table C-2 Docking Interface connector pin assignments (140-pin)(3/3), pin 93 is USBDP, or USB Data positive; and pin 94 is USBDN, or USB Data Negative. By finding a suitable +5V and Gnd point, these are the 4 signals needed for the USB port. To make it look good, I think replacing the IR port with a USB connector would make sense. I just bought a USB to IR adapter from Tiger Direct (free after rebate) and tried it on my desktop with great success. Using this adapter, you don't even lose the IR port after converting the Libby's IR port to a USB port. Problem is, I don't have good enough tools to make the solder connections to try this on the bench to see if it works. Anyone have the ability to see if this would work?

Finally got my hard disk (from UK). Never disassembled my Lib before, want to be prepared. The upgrade process is rather well documented: http://chiba3.dip.jp/notepc/ss1000.html http://trashbox.homeip.net/nownow/20050317/ I tried babelfish.altavista.com, works OK with the first one, returns an error with the second one. 2 main questions: I don't want to overclock the CPU or add USB port, do I still need to disassemble completely, or just to remove the case bottom would be enough? What do I do about the extra 0.65 mm, remove some spacers? Any advices? Thanks in advance! Best wishes, Vitaly

Of course, Libretto will have to come as well - to back up my photos (ack ! seems every time I upgrade to a higher megapixel camera, storage space be comes a greater issue, running out of space even on a Libretto HD!). You can g et away with not bringing a computer at all to Tokyo - just rent a terminal at a copy shop in Tokyo Underground mall or elsewhere. --- Had a chance to see that Fujitsu P1510D tablet (2.2lbs model) convertable in person at the latest Microsoft Visual Studio launch (great to go to these Microsoft launches for free software! They gave out free Visual Studio 20 05 to everyone.). Between the U100 and Fujitsu, the Fujitsu had the better keyboard (far ea sier to touch type right away without errors at a fast rate), more comfortably sized screen, and touch pen feature. The U100 has the crisper, higher contrast screen due to the glossy contra st enhancement top layer (but whether this is good depends on if you like se eing your own reflection all the time), smaller size, etc. Still, the Fujitsu does win out based on price alone ($1399 - http://store.shopfujitsu.com/fpc/Ecommerce/buildseriesbean.do?series=P1 5DWT.svl=P15D), and the Libretto at $1899 is a bit silly given the $199 laptops on sale t his past Black Friday after Thanksgiving at Microcenter.com stores.
