That's interesting. But the first site you list above seems to me a Toshiba Germany website, isn't it? It's harfd to tell as it seem to me an all-Euro language site. >Are you using the W98 Power Saver? have you gotten any Lib drivers to >work? Yeah... I got all of those old w95 and W98 drivers working fine, as they've been working on other HDDs I've had. But this Xircom modem, AND a 3COM modem I tested and sent back, both shut the system down during boot if they're inserted. Strangely it only happens on my 70CT, and not my older 50CT, which seems to have no problems with the Xircom. I wonder if there's any vague chance it may have something to do with the combo modems' drivers, and the MMX CPU that the 70 has and not the 50, as Neil pointed out was the problem with the Mandrake installation. I'm really just fishing here. But it's easy enough to pop the modem out before shutting the system down, and the power saving features of that old driver are a must for battery power saving. So I'll probably install the old driver and live with it.

The other day I thought I saw a place where I could search for a filename. I thought maybe if I did a search for l50utils.exe, it may still be there. That's the file I have with the hairy bulb power saver. Even Iris is brain dead over there when it comes to l50utils.exe. I can't believe they'd abandon power saving drivers for the L50 and L70 that could contol the LCD brightness! But I sure don't see it there any more. Pres pointed this out a while back... though he must be on vacation. Haven't heard from him in this matter. I just may go ahead and install it, even if I have to remove my Xircom modem to keep the system from power down with it inserted. You just need that battery power saving capability.

Matt, The L50 W95 System Controls and Utilities drivers at the Tosh Support site above are dated 1997 and 1998 - I haven't tried them (I have a L100) so I can't say whether they are the old drivers or not. Here are a few other sources I've found: http://home.toshiba-tpc.com/sos/download.html?c=75 http://www.amherst.co.uk/libfiles.htm http://www.vobis.de/bbs/firmen/toshiba/libre/ This last site's W95 L50/L70 files are all dated 04.08.98. I didn't realize that Toshiba had started to discontinue the older drivers. Their Europe sight simply goes to a blank page now when you click on "Old Drivers". Are you using the W98 Power Saver? have you gotten any Lib drivers to work?

See David's many recent posts on this in the archives... but he's saying that leaving cylinders 1010-1040 unpartitions is a safe bet for most HDDs. I just did some testing and found my drive only writes a 35MB hibernatioon area around the 8.4GB boundry. By making a partition from cylinders 1010-1040, writing all the sectors there with 0s with Wipefree, and then going into hibernation, and back, I could used the WinHex editor to see where the hibernation data started and ended. Turns out my hibernation area was from approx. cylinders 1023-1027. This actually left a little room in front and after the hibernation area, resulting in a 39.2MB unpartitioned area of my Toshiba HDD. >Also, is there a way under Win2000 to merge the two resulting partitions >into a single drive?

I've used a lotin the past, and was planning on using it to back up a fresh installation of W98 and basic software so I could restore it all if I ran into installation problems later. But since I had to use Partition Magic anyway to set up partitions on this 20GB HDD, I took David's advice, and used PM to copy the 1st partition with the new OS installation to a 2nd partition. I hid the 1st partition, and when I ran into problems with those Tosiba Utilities conflicting with my Xircom modem drivers, I just deleted the 2nd partition, and copied a new copy of the 1st partition to a new 2nd partition. That seemd to be a lot more convenient than running Ghost in addition to PM... but there are endless variations of doing things. But I just wondered if in fact it IS in fact impossible to remove those Toshiba Utilities drivers easily (barring a dounting [sp?] registry operation).

Where exactly do I set > the partitions to leave room for hibernation? Use your lib to create the primary parition using DOS and FDISK. It will create a maximum partition around 8GB. Do not use Win2k to create the primary parition or partition it outside of Lib. Leave 100 to 200 MB after the primary partition and you can create the second parition on rest of the disk. I use Win2000's disk manager to create a partition of 200MB after the primary partition and leave it unformatted. Then I create another partition that takes the rest of the disk space and format it. > > Also, is there a way under Win2000 to merge the two resulting partitions > into a single drive? Yes, you can use Win2000's disk manager to mount any volume(partition) into another volume's empty folder.

Albert, Would you describe the procedure for using IBM Disk Manager - especially, does DM require a Windows boot disk? And if so, with what files/drivers? I'm about to do this (as soon as my W98se arrives) on a IBM 20GB & L100. I've downloaded IBM DM for floppy disk installation, but the IBM site is not very helpful in terms of instruction for their use. Thanks for any tips.

If I come up against these sorts of things I generally take an image using Norton Ghost (I run it overnight going through the parallel port since I don't have a drive converter) then do the install, if it all goes to hell I just restore the ghost image. For that matter, I've got a baseline image for my Libby anyway, if it goes to hell for whatever reason I just reimage it and its fine. If you were to ghost a Libretto drive I'd recommend you either only ghost a partition or you do a forensic image (use the -id switch) to make sure the hibernation area doesn't get disturbed. - Raymond ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

I assume you mean $1000USD ... Toshiba Libretto L2's are going for about the $1000-$1300USD mark on eBay, I'd imagine slightly older model Sony Picturebooks may come up slightly cheaper. I dunno how much the Fujitsu P-series is but they may also be worth a look (there is a model of that which is cheaper but doesn't have that integrated DVD-CDRW drive - I know, its the only P-series available in Australia!). - Raymond --- /~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?"| | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.

Not suggesting >anyone try cramming the L70 into the L110 replicator are you? Nah, you just asked if the L110 has cardbus (presumably because you need cardbus to run a USB card) but my point was if you had an L110 it wouldn't matter if it had cardbus or not from the perspective of USB because its replicator already HAS USB and can probably be had for less on eBay than a USB2 card. Of course, if you don't have an L110 then yes its a moot point. Clear things up? ;-) - Raymond --- /~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?"| | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
