from the archives: I've used an Orinoco wireless NIC in an L50 which is virtually identical to the L70 under Win95 and it has worked fine ... I use a Compaq WL-110 that works very well in my overclocked to 100 MHz L50 with Win95B. It has been my web radio player this winter, laying on top of the microwave in the kitchen (!), with a pair of 5W speakers. Works ok and never overheats, I have forgotten to turn it off at night and it has been streaming for a couple of days at a time. I am running RAIN, a cpu idle program, that is very neccesary to keep the temp down and the Libby is laying on a metal case that helps dissipate the heat. What OS are you using? Only Win2000/XP or a *nix variant have their own idle loops, W95/98/Me really need RAIN or something similar. Oh yes, something else: There are 3.3V and 5V cards, and 16 and 32 bit cards. The L50 handles only 5V 16 bits. You may come across 3.3V 16 bit cards, they will not work. I first bought a D-link DWL-650 wifi card that did not work, as it is a 3.3V 16 bit beast. Manufaturers don't always write specs clearly enough. I've been using a Cisco AiroNet 350 Card with great success. 've had success with the Cabletron/Enterasys/Lucent/Orinoco/Skylan cards (all those cards, at least as of about a year ago, are identical and made by the same company and have just been rebadged). Look for the ones with Lucent chips on them, will run off 5V 16bit (non-Cardbus) slots and which look a bit like http://www.enterasys.com/roamabout/indoor/CSIBD-AA.jpg (ie. NOT the ones that have the Dlink 'fishtail' antenna or the Sony flip-up antenna or whatever, I'm pretty sure those 2 at least are NOT Lucent chips). I've used both the Ornioco and Cabletron/Enterasys cards in a L50 with Win95OSR2 as well as a L100 with Win98SE. adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ ____________________________________________________________________________________ Food fight?
