I will have to now check a few things following your post Aviwhat are the slight mods that you have made to your WDM driver listed on your web site? I assume that you have the DVD-to-Go working normally with video audio on your libretto with 98SE installed?

Okay I got my Margi DVD-to-Go card to work under Windows 95, but now having problems under 98SE! Firstly drivers. Margi's web site appears to be down, have they gone bust? Anyhow I have managed to download drivers from Billionton suitable for W95 'MCI' v2.18 and from DELL suitable for W95 'MCI' v2.16 98SE/2000 'WDM' v1.05 Note using W95 I used the MCI v2.18 successfully. Now using W98SE I have tried MCI v2.18 and the driver appears to be okay, but have no picture or sound, the dongle output may work but have not tried. I can't get any of the 3 drivers under WDM v1.05 to work at all, I get the message NTKERN.VXD device loader for this device could not load the device driver So for W98SE, should I be using the MCI or WDM driver/software set? Does anyone have a set of drivers later than the set I have tried? Any other tips, I am all ears! ...I don't want to go back to W95! Thanks, Mike.
[LIB] OT: Osaka - any hints for someone looking for electronics?
Date: Wed, 1 Jun 2005 20:56:25 +0100 From: Michael Heathcote [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: OT: Osaka - any hints for someone looking for electronics? I spent quite a few hours in the Sofmap store in Kyoto last year. Loads of new stuff and components, also secondhand stuff. Nearly bought a used Sony U101 but the credit card had already been stretched! Bought a 60GB harddrive for my portege at half the UK price, high speed 16MB cache too! I don't know if there are any good stores in Osaka, although universal studios is worth a visit! I found generally that in the superstore electronic shops, the 'export' floor was a waste of time with little or no saving. For example I bought an external sony dvd burner for only 80 pounds with Japanese box, the same thing in an english box was double the price. Of course the software supplied and literature contained in the Japanese box was multilingual (and worldwide voltage), just like the double priced 'export' unit! Cheers, Mike.

The Portege range is a more powerfull laptop but still lightweight if you like Toshiba's. My Portege 3490CT is still giving me sterling service, now with a high speed high ram 60GB harddrive, and can be picked up on e-bay for little money. If I was looking for something small, the Sony u1,u3, or u101 would get my vote, though still quite expensive even now secondhand, originally Japan only. Mike.

[LIB] 3.3v 16-bit cards in a 50ct
Date: Fri, 9 Jul 2004 19:22:48 +0100 From: Michael Heathcote [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: 3.3v 16-bit cards in a 50ct I have just bought a 3com x-jack wireless network card off ebay for my 50CT. I was careful to note that it was 16-bit, but forgot about the voltage issue. Looking up the specs it is 3.0 to 3.6V, and I remember now an issue with non 5V cards in the libretto. I found the following on the Toshiba web site FAQ: What information do you have regarding the 16 bit/3.3V PCMCIA Card issue? If you leave a PCMCIA card in the PCMCIA slot of your PC system during initial boot, the PC system BIOS will detect the PCMCIA card and send a 5V electric potential to the PCMCIA slot. If the PCMCIA card in the slot is a 16 bit/3.3V type, it is possible that the 5V electric potential could damage the PCMCIA card. Please check your PCMCIA card, the user manual or contact the card manufacturer / supplier to determine the specific type of your PCMCIA card. If you use or expect to use a 16 bit/3.3V PCMCIA card, we strongly recommend that you download the latest BIOS to your PC system prior to using the 16 bit /3.3V card in order to avoid any possible damage. PCMCIA cards that offer a 16 bit/5.V, 16 bit/3.3V 5V dual support or CardBus Cards are not affected Reading this it appears that as long as the card is inserted after boot-up, the 3.3V card will be okay ? or is it the case that the Libretto 50CT can not supply 3.3V, and the card will be toasted anyway with 5V ?

Re: [LIB] Sony U-series development team interview, exploded pictures

I loved the Sony U series, they where selling all 3 models (used unmarked) from 90,000 yen for the U1, to 180,000 yen for the last model with wireless. With the UK pound running at 190 yen to the pound, the U1 at less than 500 pounds was very tempting indeed but alas, my good wife could not be swung another laptop blah blah.. Holding and playing with one made it very difficult indeed to walk away. My main laptop has been for several years now a Portege 3490CT, seeing a Libretto L5 in the flesh was a suprise, it was huge!, so much bigger than my old 50CT, and no benefit in size over my Portege. Picked up a few bargains. An external Sony DVD writer DRX-530UL (latest model) for only 80 pounds. I think they must have marked it up wrong, 200 pounds in the UK. And a 60GB 2.5 9.5mm drive also for 80 pounds. This being a Toshiba MK-6026GAX with 16MB buffer and faster 5400 rpm. Thats going in the Portege, with the old 20GB destined for the Libretto! For anyone visting Japan, forget about the English speaking 'duty free' 'suitable for export' stores, little saving to be made, unless you require a PAL video etc. The Sony DVD writer was in a japanese box, but inside all the manuals and CD 's are multilingual with a universal worldwide power supply, only requiring the 'kettle lead' swopping for a UK plug version for a few pounds.

RE: [LIB] USB powered external HD

I bought just the enclosure, and originally used my redundant 800MB 50CT hard drive. It will take any 2.5 inch drive up to about 18mm thick. I swop drives around, presently a 6GB drive, and when I want to re-format my present libretto drive (10GB), I format in the libretto, and then swop into the HD enclosure to copy the installation files onto the drive using my Portege laptop. Very handy, plug and play even with Windows 98SE. The DVD drive that I use is by ARGOSY, a DV730-04. Again with a 16-bit PCMCIA card, with no external power. Interestingly if you use an ac adaptor with this drive, the requirement is 1 Amp as stated on the back of the drive.

Re: [LIB] New battery vs new toshiba : Portege ?
Date: Sat, 13 Oct 2001 12:57:56 +0100 From: Michael Heathcote [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] New battery vs new toshiba : Portege ? I bought a new Portege 3490CT to (partly) replace my 50CT, as previously posted. That was about 3 weeks ago, and to date I am very pleased with it. If the new Libretto L1 was available in the UK I would have considered it, however as I wanted to do some video editing I would question using the cruseo processor over the Portege PIII 700Hz processor. The Portege is light(3lb), so you can happily rest it on your lap, and pick it up with one hand with the lid open, just like the lib. Compared to the equivalent Sony Vaio Z600LEK, the Portege has a bigger hard drive (20 compared to 15), lighter, and has an IR port. The Sony has a firewire port and memory stick slot which the Portege does not, however as I have a firewire PC card, and no memory stick devices this was not important. The Portege does not come with a CD rom drive, only a USB floppy drive. However my Freecom traveller CD-RW drive is compatable with the optional Toshiba external CD drive and will boot from the Toshiba recovery CD. As per my earlier posting, a bought the Portege from PCWorld for just less than 1200 pounds (manager special offer !), the Sony is still over 1700 pounds. Last week I bought an external DVD drive from PCWorld for only 90 pounds, and it plays DVD movies perfectly ! I believe PCWorld are clearing a lot of stock, so bargains are possible if you look out for them. Mike. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

HP95LX, Outlook and Rex
Date: Sat, 22 Sep 2001 14:36:58 +0100 From: Michael Heathcote [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: HP95LX, Outlook and Rex With regard to a submission by Martin, HPLX Sidekick: Before I purchased my Libretto 50CT, I used a HP95LX. Apart from running the connectivity pack for my HP95LX on the Libretto, I was unable to translate all my many years of contacts etc to an up-to-date PIM, the file translation utility on the connectivity pack never fully translating all fields. The nearest was into Sidekick but not 100% all the text in the address section, the translation had a limit on the number of characters which I always exceeded. A couple of years ago I extensively searched on the web for a utility to translate from the HP95LX direct into Outlook. I found a HP program that was bundled with the original HP Omnibook to provide the HP100/200LX PIM facility and calculator functions in a windows environment. This also had the facility to translate my HP95LX files into HP100/200LX format. The icing on the cake for me was a utility by Curtis Cameron called Outlook HPLX File converter version 2.16 that could convert and synchronize either way direct between HP100/200LX and Outlook with no loss of data in any field, fully mapable. For me it was a one-way ticket, as it could not convert direct from HP95LX to Outlook, unless I translated my files first into HP100/200LX format, but that did not matter, for I was putting my HP95LX to bed after 7 years of daily usage. If it would help you I still have the above programs that I can e-mail you. The HPPIM is 385kb, the HPLX file converter 1396kb. I believe they are freeware. With regard to Rex: I purchased a REX6000 in Singapore 6 months ago, which has the touch screen. Xircon, or should I say Intel, have from the beginning of this month stopped support and manufacture. Although the software from Xircon is for syncronization with Outlook, the Rex community is extensive with many dedicated people making available usefull addin programs and syncronization software for other PIMs such as Lotus Notes Organiser.

Libretto GPS
Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2001 19:08:06 +0100 From: Michael Heathcote [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Libretto GPS The software that I personally use in the UK is personal navigator, which are basically scanned ordiance survey maps. These are not detailed to 'street level'. You can freely buy similiar 'autoroute' type software that do go down to street level. All the above mapping software, when they state can be used with a GPS, generally take the GPS co-ordinates through the serial port of the laptop connected to the GPS. The Garmin etrex GPS, I purchased nearly 2 years ago, is a mobile phone sized unit, basic, cheap, but has data capability. The data lead from Garmin plugs into the etrex, providing power (cig lighter plug) and connection to a RS232 serial plug. The etrex then transmits a standard NMEA signal to the laptop, which the mapping software understands. Therefore any GPS unit can be used as long as it has standard NMEA output capability, and any software that accepts the NMEA signals. The mapping software generally show a direction arrow on a moving map, with data logging capability. Software that speak to you is not as far as I know widely available, or is very expensive (if anybody knows of a reasonably priced UK packages, let me know). The etrex is approximately 110 pounds, the data lead 40, basic software as cheap as 50 or less. So for 200 pounds you can have a moving map showing your position and direction etc on your libretto. Note that mapping software is disk space hungary. Personal Navigator with the full UK maps loaded is nearly 1GB. Hence the 810MB 50CT harddrive was swopped for a 6GB. I hope this gives an overview of a Libretto GPS. Cheers, Mike. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Portege to accompany Libretto.

Dear Listers, For those in the UK, PCWorld are selling off the top model Portege 3490CT for less than 1200 pounds, a few weeks ago they where 2000 pounds ! I could not resist at that price and bought one this afternoon. The nearest form factor to my 50CT, weight, if not footprint (B5). However 700Hz PIII,128MB Ram(256max), 20GB, 8MB graphics. My 50CT has been my only computer for over 3 years, the lack of USB and the 640 x 480 resolution just too limiting for my only everyday PC. However I will not be packing away the Libretto just yet, it will now spend more time in my car linked to my etrex GPS, playing MP3's, and used with my Siemens SL45 mobile phone via IR for remote e-mail access on the road (while stationary !). Back to the Portege, as Toshiba UK are selling half price Portege batteries as well as Libretto 100/110 batteries, I will be buying a few. Are lithium ion batteries better used in cycle, or are they okay to be kept in storage for the 'future' ? Cheers, Mike. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Dear list members, My standard 50ct battery is a PA2497UR with the extended battery a PA2498UR. I have noticed that various suppliers list the standard 70ct battery as a PA2452UR. Will this fit a 50ct ? Until I noticed the different part number for the 70ct battery I was under the impression that batteries for the 50/60/70 where all the same ! I have an external hard drive case for my old 810 mb hard drive. This works very well and is a "Standard IDE/ESDI hard Disk Controller". Pure 'plug and play' with no extra drivers required. Is it possible to access this drive if I boot the libretto from the floppy drive with a start up disc, then swop the floppy for the external drive ? I guess what I am asking is where can I find the necessary DOS drivers for a "Standard IDE/ESDI hard Disk Controller". The reason I wish to try this, is to carry out a clean install of 98SE, with the 98SE CD copied onto the external drive. I do not have access to an external CD drive, only by direct cable connection to my work laptop CD drive.
