It worked fine without any external devices. When I tried copying a complete cd-rom, the 100CT would crash I noticed that it was very hot. The CD-ROM PCMCIA card was also extremley hot. Sometine the 100CT would not boot until it cooled down for awhile. I decided to slow the 100CT down a bit and set the speed to 233 MHZ on Tuesday. Since then I've coppied a lot of cd-roms and the unit is stable with the CD-ROM attached. The PCMCIA card doesn't seem to be as hot (it is warm thought!). It has 64MB RAM. Tony Oresteen Montverde, FL

Going from 266 to 233 took about 50 minutes. I used a Radio Shack 15 watt soldering iron and a magnifying glass. To drop the speed to 233 I had to remove solder from the board. I used Radio Shack solder braid (solder wick) to undo one jumper I had soldered, and one that was factory soldered. It is a PAIN to get the motherboard area. Getting the back off was simple enough. Getting the PCMCIA unit off the motherboard required that you disconnect the LCD screen and rotate the MB so you can get at the last 2 screws holding the PCMCIA unit on the mother board. I accidentally knocked my 32mb RAM card out of it's socket so I had to remove the keyboard to get at the memory slot. That's why it took me longer to down speed as I had never replaced the memory in a 100CT so I had to figure it out. My advice is to overclock to 233 MHz. Take your time and you should be ok. If you have never soldered before get someone else to do it for you.

Date: Thu, 3 Feb 2005 15:20:38 -0800 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [LIB] Overclocking 100CT Tony, this was exactly what I needed, thanks. Yes, I have soldered before, so that is not a problem. It almost looks like you could put in a mini 3 position dip switch and then just change the settings if it gets too hot. This assumes those are not resistors in Xin's photos. From Xin's pictures, it appears the switches would be set as follows (reading from left to right): 266 MHz - OPEN CLOSE CLOSE 233 MHz - CLOSE OPEN OPEN 200 MHz - CLOSE OPEN CLOSE 166 MHz - OPEN CLOSE OPEN There was some discussion on adding wires to connect the USB from the motherboard and bring the wires out to a USB connector (see post on 1/14/05 from Phil Nienhuis Subject: Re: USB [Was: Re: [LIB] slow]). Some modification to tell the motherboard the EPR was connected would also have to be made for this to work, but this would be a welcome addition to the Libby. David Chien had described his addition of the mouse pins on the side of his Libby, using the hole for the reset button to bring the wires out. Using this technique and the miniature USB connector, I could envision a small USB port on the side of the Libby. Attach a dongle to convert it to a standard USB connector and we are set. Looking at the hardware manual, pin 68 of the docking connector is used to detect the docking station, pins 91 - 94 are the USB port. At this point, what I really need is a schematic so I can see what voltage level to put on pin 68 and which pin (91 or 92) is the plus supply and which is the minus. Also, whether any buffer chips are needed. Anyone have a link to the L100CT schematic? What about a schematic of the docking station? Dick Sullivan I used Xin's procedure here: http://www.fixup.net/tips/l100266.htm It took me about 33 minutes to overclock from 166 to 266. Going from 266 to 233 took about 50 minutes.

I never tried 200. I don't have a schematic, sorry. A DIP switch sounds interesting. Space is very tight so I don't know where you would put it. I'm thinking about running the mouse port out the side as well.

This sounds good to those of us (me) to whom soldering means plumbing :-). My question is, how readily would this method of overclocking be undone? Is the painted trace easily removed once applied?

Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2003 10:52:28 -0500 From: Lines, Nick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] Overclocking 100ct - the easy way But I've been wondering just how one would go about o/cing the L100 to 233. From Xin's page, it looks like you'd have to break a connect between the two center pairs of solder points, Yep, that looks right. Put me right off! Hence I went for 266 ;-) as that's easily un-doable if I had problems. Not having been in there, I'm not sure what it would involve. The lump is around 2mm in size. I don't know if it's a resistor or diode or whatever. You would have to desolder it IMHO, rather than just cut it or try to hack it off. I don't have the skills or steadiness of hand to attempt that. in the Florida heat, I'm wondering if this Libby is going to put up with clocking to 266. Yeah yeah rub it in why don't ya? I think many people are running this throughout the world. It *is* a risk, and only you can decide if the improved performance is worth that risk. If you're careful, it would be easy to undo the connection by just scraping off the connection that you've made. At least, that was my first backup plan. The second backup plan was to use the replacement mobo out of my spare 100ct with the slightly knackered screen :-D Cheers, Nick. ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.
