I'd love to have a fast no HD > machine to use for GPS mapping or something. It'll work. When I searched around 2-3 years ago, the problem was that there were no CF / IDE adapters at that time that could fit into the HD slot properly. Thus, I simply went to eBay, and picked up a 2.5" 6.x mm solid state flash drive replacement cheap instead. These drives work fine, and are basically the same thing as your idea. Sandisk.com has a bunch of them. Search around and you may find CF / IDE adapters that'll fit nowadays. But, GPS-wise, I'm using MapPoint 2004 on my L110 and it's limited by the CPU and graphics processor speed mostly. HD access is more than fast enough to load up the maps it needs, so it's mostly due to a 10+ year old PC =) adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __ Do You Yahoo!?

A bad hard drive shouldn't permanently freeze the machine in the bios (toshiba screen), though it might make it hang there for awhile. Try going into the bios setup and staying there for awhile...if it freezes there, it pretty much has to be a problem with the memory, CPU, or motherboard. >From time to time on Ebay, people sell bare working 100/110ct motherboards. It's much cheaper than buying a new Libby, so if you still want one you might consider that. -- -Rick

The only time I ever had a similar problem with my L110 was when I put in the 32MB memory extension - and that PCB had come slightly loose at some point. Opened it, reseated the memory extension, problem gone. Cheerio, Thomas -- - Thomas Ribbrockhttp://www.ribbrock.org "You have to live on the edge of reality - to make your dreams come true!"
