Subject: Re: Enhanced docking port

David,

Is the Power Save driver the one that shuts the power off when
you  Start..., Shut down... , Shut down??

That is the feature that was giving me fits after installing W98SE...
I was having to push the power button again and again in order to
get it to shut off.

It looks to me that Toshiba's site only talks about installing W98 on
top of W95... which gives one all the neat controls and accessories
that we installed after W95, remember??

So... how does one get all those neat thingys back under a clean
install of W98se??

Win98SE on my L100CT. This page list the order in which they reccommend the
drivers be installed.

Contact David Chien and see what he thinks... he's the one with the file.

I think you are bragging  :-)

But if mine worked that great, I'd be bragging too :-)  And maybe I bragged too soon
about how great my clean W98SE install was so it just waited

I've come to the conclusion that PC's all have a personality... mine at home is
lazy:  ie... no more than one or two programs open at any one time.  Serious!

The one at work says 'sock it to me'... the more apps open, the better!

Now the Libby  it waits, plans and schemes on how to retaliate  :-)

I really hope not... I hope this is just an isolated incident.

Only time will tell...  sigh...


I installed W98SE with nothing connected to the Libby but the power
cord.  Is that clean enough??

>Win98SE recognized the EPR and installed the new

I'd like a list of exactly what you did AFTER installing W98SE...
maybe it's the Toshiba upgrades and the order I did them that is the

There were also different wallpapers:

If you do not know what to do whith .theme files. Download Desctoparchitect

Neil,

Jeez, that looks more complicated than the time I decided I really
wanted to know what the inside of my motorbike gearbox looked like when
I was younger.  

I'd be game for this but my wife says NO!  She's seen me dismantle and
create from scratch many things, but she knows how much I like my lib
and still remembers the time I put a Pentium CPU in at 90 degrees to the
socket :(  You gave 27 good reasons why we probably shouldn't do this.  

Having said that, I guess it's getting to that time of year when we
should issue the annual IBC invitation.  So, if anyone is in Amsterdam

Maybe I wasn't clear, i meant ELECTRIC weller solering iron.
I wouldn't let a gas powered iron near anything small.

Is there a need for an FTP site for large files like this?  If so, I'm sure I can
come up with something on a decent connection :)  This would allow others to

USB hubs can be had for around $20 and give you 4+ extra ports.

Re: Help with Lib Screen Sizing

From: "neil barnes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Re: Help with Lib Screen Sizing

Ahem. Allow me, Sir.

If you mean what I think you mean - that the screen image is too big for the 
display, and it slides sideways and up/down when you move the mouse - then 
you have a virtual screen. This is easy...

Find a bit of screen background (or your wallpaper if you have it) and right 
click on it. Drop down to 'properties' and click on that. That gives you a 
window which will have a tab labelled 'settings' - click there.
On the right of the window there are two sliders - one labelled 'screen' and 
one labelled 'desktop'. Both of these should be set to 640*480 (I'm assuming 
you've got a 50 here...)
Hit 'ok' and everything should spring to life.

Ah. This is the pan feature so you have MORE than the 640x480 the screen is

I just received my new donor LIB (mine had a broken, cracked screen)
I swapped out the RAM and hard drive and now have a marvellous working LIB
again.  However, I need to do some screen sizing so everything fits as it
did before.
This machine, and I assume its the machine, creates an image where I have
to use the mouse to access all parts of the image.
Since I have no literature, can some kind soul guide me through the steps

Derek,

The problem is not in the choice of epithets available, but more simply that

abuse...

 when my nieces were younger, I was restricted to 'ostriches' to avoid 
contamination. It didn't work...elder nieces favourite invective appears to

RE: Enhanced docking port

2000-07-05 Thread David T. Gillis

Date: Wed, 5 Jul 2000 10:59:42 -0400
From: "David T. Gillis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: RE: Enhanced docking port

I use my L100CT as my only machine and the Enhanced Port Replicator has been
great. The USB port has worked with no problems. I use a USB printer, CDRW
drive, and HandSpring Visor USB sync cradle. I also have a USB PC Card for
when I'm on the road. In fact using the USB Pc card with the EPR gives me 3
USB ports and they all work together nicely.

The only thing I did different from you was that I installed Win98SE without
having the EPR connected. After all the appropriate Toshiba drivers were
installed and confirmed to work, I powered off the L100CT, then connected
the EPR and restarted. Win98SE recognized the EPR and installed the new
hardware. Everything has been working like a charm ever since.

Hope this helps.

I don't think you need any instructions on it. There is no switch to flip:).
Search Toshiba web site to see if there is any updated drivers for the

Um...extrapolating from CT50s (cos that's all I've had to play with)...they 
seem to be made of two different plastics (the battery and the screen lid) 
and the magnesium (alloy?) of the main frame.

 I can get the guts out in ten minutes nowCT50 of course but 
others probably similar - 70 at least. Altogther now class, can we say 'this 
is at your own risk'? Try and remember where all the screws come from: some 
of them have thin heads and there are one or two with different threads.

1) you'll need a '0' posidriv/philips screwdriver and possibly an '00', and 
a scalpel or similar knife (modelling knife?)

2) remove battery

3) remove 2 screws on disk cover, remove cover, and slide out disk

4) remove the strip of plastic at the top of the keyboard by lifting from 
the right

5) remove screw in middle top of keyboard

6) lift keyboard, remove screw in memory module(if fitted) and remove memory 
module

7) remove the two screws on the keyboard straps

8) the keyboard cable connecter has two tiny 'ears' on either side of 
it...slide these towards the back of the machine about 1mm. The keyboard 
cable will then pull out easily. If this is stiff, you probably didn't pull 
the ears far enough.

9) remove the two thin head screws in the middle of the silver plate and 
lift the plate away. This is very thin and easy to bend, and sometimes 
catches under the case but can be jiggled free.

10) disconnect the screen cable by lifting. Try and grasp the connector 
itself - the cable is folded over itself. If you break this cable, you're 
stuffed.

11) close display, turn computer over, and remove remaining five long screws 
from the back, then turn rightside up again and open display.

12)Theoretically, at this stage you can just lift the display half off. In 
practice, you'll have to run a thumbnail around the seam between the two 
halves of the body to separate the clips. There's one in the back centre 
which will annoy you a little, start from the battery end cheeks.

13) you can now remove the motherboard from the case by lifting. I don't 
find it necessary to remove the cmos battery or the DC jack, but watch for 
the IR lens (back centre) and the minijack cover (little shiny steel bit) 
which wants to fall out.

14) now we have a go at the screen faceplate. Use a sharp knife or similar 
to remove the two grey rectangular bits at the bottom left and right. 
They're a thin metallic foil with glue on the back and if you're *very* 
careful you can re-use them later. (though after you've sprayed the case, 
they'll be the wrong colour...). Keep them somewhere where the glue doesn't 
get dusty...

15) there are three screws visible, two on the left, one on the right. 
remove the one on the right and the matching (symmetrical) screw from the 
left.

16) pull off the pointer cap

17) use fingernails to split the two halves of the screen cover, starting at 
the bottom seems to be easiest. There are 13 latches.

18) remove the flourescent inverter board by removing the screw bottom left, 
the flat cable bottom left (works the same as the keyboard cable), and the 
flourescent output. There's a locating catch at the top of the board.

19) Remove the LCD screen by removing the four screws (one each corner) and 
tilting it carefully till you can release the cable connector CN1 - that's 
the same type as the other end of the cable.

20) there are three cables connecting to the power switch board which need 
removing, then it lifts off

21) remove pointer cable then the two screws holding the metalwork in. There 
are lots of bits of metal (well, three) here all of which need to go b

Hi Richard,

It's in the BIOS settings under Panel Close.  There are two settings,
one for the alarm sound and one for the standby command.

Re: Coloured Cases, Mouse Covers and Keys - Joint order?]

David,

I meant the real ones actual colored cases one can buy for
a spare and color coordinated keyboards/mouse covers etc
to go with them.

But all I see on this site is painting our original cases, which it
seems they say turns out to be quite a thick coating which
I don't think I would like.

That is why I was talking to my son about painting it myself
using exterior laquer-based spray paint for cars. Put two
coats of that on and then a flat wax job on top and it would
be pretty indestructible... he didn't think there would be anything
in that paint that would hurt the plastic either.

But then painting the keys and putting new labels on them
sigh big job!!  Maybe when I retire and have nothing else
to do...  :-)
