Steve, As it turns out, I think I will go for $24 for 10 hours access, additional hours at $3-4/hr.

One thing I like to do with vacations is calculate my base burn rate, I take the amount of money I am paying (let's say $1,000), then divide that by the number of hours (call it 96, 4 days), then my burn rate is $10/hr just *being* there (this of course, takes into account the cost of getting there, the cost of eating while there, and all the disposable purchases I make while I am there). My burn rate for this trip is about $25/hr - if I add another $24 to the total expense of the trip, my cost goes up to $25.20/hr...

The large disk question...
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 21:00:06 + (GMT/BST) From: Digby Tarvin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: The large disk question... For anyone who is interested, I have now picked up a 20GB hard disk try upgrade my 100CT, and have done some experimenting to see exactly what happens with hibernation. The following are my results after a couple of hours of testing, and may be BIOS version dependant. My Libretto still has the original version 6.50 bios that it came with. The disk drive is an IBM DJSA-220 Travelstar ATA/IDE. The nominal capacity is 20GB, although for some mysterious reason the label on the drive indicates: 16383CYL, 16HEADS, 63SEC/T which according to my calculations corresponds to only 8GB. Perhaps this is just documenting what capacity will be seen by crippled Microsoft systems Probing the drive revealed an actual geometry of 38760CYL, 16HEADS, 63SEC/T which I calculate to equal a real capacity of 20,003,880,960 bytes. I then created three partitions as follows: first a 1GB partition in which to re-install Toshiba's W95, and then a 2GB partition for BSD Unix, and the balance in a scratch partition. I then booted Unix and ran a small program to ppatternize the third partition, then booted windows to initiate a hibernation, and back to Unix run another program to search the disk for sectors that have been written to. The scan program prints a message at the start and end of any sequence of non-patterned data, and reported the following: Start Data: 1F316F400 (8373335040) = sector 16,354,170 End Data: 1F337F000 (8375496704) Start Data: 1F3386C00 (8375528448) End Data: 1F7366200 (8442503680) = sector 16,489,265 Start Data: 4A8518600 (20003784192) END OF PARTITION at 4a853 (20003880960) This seems reasonable, with the memory image written near what would be the end of an 8GB disk, and occupying about 64MB. Interestingly, the first time I ran the test it only occupied about 32MB of disk space. Up until that point I had not noticed that my memory expansion had stopped working. I reseated it and re-booted and I was back to the 64MB that I should have had. I interpret the small patternised region from 8375496704 to 8375496704 in the middle of the region to be the buffer used by my program to patternise the disk which was still in RAM when the hibernation took place. Specifically, the size of the changed region was 8442503680-8373335040 = 69,168,640 (66MB) And was 159,894 sectors (81,865,728 bytes = 2,538 tracks) from what the BIOS presumably thought to be the end of the disk. This is a whole number of tracks, which is encouraging, but I don't see an obvious reason for the exact size of the region. It seems about 14Mb bigger than it needs to be. Perhaps there are other things than normal memory to store, such as the content of the video memory. Assuming that the drive geometry used by the BIOS is based on the FDISK labels 'large disk' convolutions, ie 63 sectors per track, 255 heads, 1024 cylinders, the start of the save area corresponds to the start of cylinder 1018, which is good because the start of a logical cylinder sounds a lot less arbitrary. The total space allocated would correspond to what the BIOS thinks is the last 6 cylinders on the disk. I havn't really investigated the 96,768 bytes of non-pattern data at the end of the disk, but it seems to be a difference between the the end of the last FDISK partition (which for safety I used for writing) and the end of the raw disk (which I used for reading). For completeness, here is the disk partitioning I used for the test: 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize cpg] a:49581 21045154.2BSD 1024 819216 # (Cyl. 2087*- 2136*) b: 196560 2154096 swap# (Cyl. 2137 - 2331) c: 390700800unused0 0 # (Cyl.0 - 38759) d: 2104452 63 MSDOS# (Cyl.0*- 2087*) e: 32772411 62974804.2BSD0 0 0 # (Cyl. 6247*- 38759*) h: 3946320 23506564.2BSD 1024 819216 # (Cyl. 2332 - 6246) FDISK table: #size offset scyl shd ssc ecyl ehd esctype 1: 2104452 630 1 1 130 254 63 0x0b # (OTHER) *2: 4192965 2104515 131 0 1 391 254 63 0x9f # (BSDI) 3: 32756535 6297480 392 0 1 1023 254 63 0x9f # (BSDI) 4:000 0 00 0 0 0x00 # (Unused) Regards, DigbyT -- Digby R.

Re: Outlook default browser problem
Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2001 16:23:39 +0900 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Outlook default browser problem I do not have a solution, but I have a few more observations that may lead somebody else to a solution. I am not sure what I have done to get this behavior. I think it is related to the following. I had Opera installed at one time, then uninstalled it. When I right-click over any file icon the top entry in the context window is for Opera. The reason it is at the top is that I have spelled it with a leading zero instead of oh. When I doubleclick a text file icon in Explorer I get a dialog asking me to locate Opera. The initial path it fills on the input line of that dialog is C:\ This matches the window that opens from OE when I click an http: link. I removed from the registry the lines that caused this behavior in the Explorer. Now when I doubleclick on a text file in the Explorer it opens the WordPad. The OE continues to open a C:\ window when I click on an http: link. When I click on a mailto: link that goes to the Netscape mail reader. This is correct, that is my default mail reader. When I click on an attached .jpg file, it launches IE, so it knows how to find IE, at least for the attached files. As PERL guys like to say, there is more than one way to do it. And each Microsoft programmer has found his own way. /ken Original Message Subject: RE: Off Topic: Browser riddle...

I was born an optimist, and some of my optimism had survived the encounters with Microsoft software. So I tried OE. My default browser is Netscape 4.7. Continuing in the spirit of a riddle: When I click on any link in OE mail, it opens a window displaying my C: drive. I repeat. When I click on any link in OE mail, it opens a window displaying my C: drive. Not the Explorer window. It is the window I get when I doubleclick on the drive outside the Explorer. So, there is a way to override the launching of IE. I am not sure what I have done to get this behavior. I think it is related to the following. I had Opera installed at one time, then uninstalled it. When I right-click over any file icon the top entry in the context window is for Opera.

The initial path it fills on the input line of that dialog is C:\ This matches the window that opens from OE when I click a link. So it must be trying to launch Opera but it does not find it. At your own risk, you may want to try importing to your registry from a text file like this: textfile.reg === [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell\0pera] === 0 zero [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell\0pera\command] === 0 zero @="C:\\PROGRA~1\\Opera folder\\Opera.exe \"%1\"" === O oh === /ken Original Message Subject: RE: Off Topic: Browser riddle...

Melville" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Off Topic: Browser riddle... Okay let's see who's willing to take a swing at this one g: I've recently switched to opera 5 as the default browser on my win98 100CT but kept IE 5 installed. All the html pages in the windows explorer, dialog boxes etc show the opera icon and clicking any html page or email attachment launches opera. Good. I'm also using OE5 as my default mail client and here's the strange one: when i click on a link from inside an email msg it launches IE! I haven't yet figured out a way past this annoyance... Any takers? Smells like maybe a registry hack needed here Cheers! Ian C.

The Ram chip was the same used in Libretto 50/70, so I think it will be possible to apply to the Libretto. Because the data bus of the memory is the same. Are all the adresses, A0-A11, on the all memory chips used? If it was engineered for more than 16 RAM and they simply tied one or more addresses low while the others are high you might be able to get more memory by making all addresses high but I assume the CPU does the multiplexing of all the memory addresses as per the spec sheet. I've looked at the chip last year but never followed through on the specs and pinouts, if you want to look at the memory chip it can be found at: http://bwrc.eecs.berkeley.edu/Research/Intercom_Group/details/hardware/stron garmdocs.html just download the TC51V16165CFTS-60 Toshiba EDO DRAM Data Sheet (pdf, 1.68 MB) Do we have pinouts on the CPU chip?
