Maybe I should just buy newer computers, but I really like these adorable computers, and they still do a great job for the types of work I do. At $1500, a new U model is starting to sound really good, I but I need Windows 98 and DOS for complete compatibility with much of the equipment I service. I wouldn't worry too much about compatability with windows and dos. The hardware specs are good enough to where both should run very well plus there are speed ajustments in the bios you can make which will solve any inconsistances. That is what I use my Libretto(s) for... with all this new disk space so inexpensive, it seems my Libretto just keeps getting more useful! : ) I just wish I had the time to keep the OS from using it all up. john

The only sizable thing I have are 5yrs worth of magazine scans in PDF and parts of last year's MotoGP video feeds. But neither will exist on the platters for long. They'll go to DVD/CD. I end up letting the OS absorb most of mine. I haven't the time to really go through and set things up properly to dump unneeded files so end up with hugh log files. john

Hm, don't know if drivers are even available for the U100 series at all for such old OSs... The only way they'd run is with VirtualPC or VMWare, but even then, they won't act completely like a true DOS machine. adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __ Do You Yahoo!?

Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2006 15:42:56 -0800 (PST) From: David Chien [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Seagate 160GB HD now available for sale at retailers For example, for $355, you can now get it from one of my favorite distributors online - www.newegg.com. Obviously, a very expensive drive vs. the $200 120GB 100GB HDs out earlier. Good for newer Librettos that can handle the larger HDs w/o a drive image overlay program; older Librettos (probably everything below a Libretto L1 series) w/o UDMA IDE connectors most likely will have trouble handling anything over the ~120GB too-old BIOS limit. (Of course, we won't know for sure unless someone buys and tests, but probably ) Thus, for now, the =120GB HDs out on the market will most likely be the 'largest' 2.5 HD you can drop into any Libretto from the L20 on up (you'll need to use a drive overlay program, do fancy formatting/fdisking per prior posted threads, or use an OS such as W2K/WXP/Linux that supports HDs larger than what the Libretto BIOS can see by itself). The 120GB HDs will require BIOS support of this + HW support of large HDs, and it's unknown at this time if any Libretto can correctly function and see the entire 120GB HD, even with a drive overlay program. Nevertheless, it is a good HD to use to upgrade modern, regular laptops, and this will allow users with 3-drive bays on their laptops to upgrade to a 1/2 tetrabyte of online storage on their laptops =) adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __ Do You Yahoo!?

Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2006 23:32:51 -0800 From: John Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [LIB] Seagate 160GB HD now available for sale at retailers Hello Matthew... Good question... I use my Libretto to make portable my MP3's (3.6gig), Music Videos (5gig), a lot of 3D FPS Games (19gig, I collect them, list available). That is the personal and entertainment area. For work I have Device Drivers (2.6gig), about two dozen installation CD and disks sets (20gig), and then I have several clients with databases that total around 10gig each... I can just work on more at once and not spend as much time copying back and forth to the server. Is faster working internally. I more I can keep with me, the less I have to go to the file server. For my file server here at home I have six 30gig drives which have over 100 gig of data on them at any given time, so I can't even take everything with me as it is. The CD's I would need to carry would outweigh my Libretto. I have to keep as close to total portability as storage will allow. Also, when I am gathering network traffic on site you just can't have too much disk space. The more space I have, the more I can gather at a time, and the better my analysis will be. : ) I keep both of my Librettos going and rotate them from duty on site. Maybe I should just buy newer computers, but I really like these adorable computers, and they still do a great job for the types of work I do.
