For the albw that is downloaded off the net they are compressed into a single mp3 and they use a dewraper to split the files the program is free but the wrapper is like 29 bucks. Just start looking at the mp3 sites and look what they have to offer.. Even check out the warez sites and see their descriptions. Maybe someon has hacked or built a winamp feature..

Having said THAT, they do get touchy ... it can take 2 or 3 installs to get them just right (having said THAT, the factory install of Win95b on my old L50 was and is rock solid, I'd say its MORE stable than the Win2k installation on my desktop even when running multiple applications on 16 meg of RAM!). I've also had Win95 and 98 installs on other Toshiba laptops that have been rock solid (I even got a WinME install rock solid on a Satellite 30CDT but I was never able to recreate it) but it can take 2 or 3 tries. Win2k is 'relatively' stable out of the box, in general more so than 9x but you do pay for that in speed. Its also a more 'involved' operating system - its more mucking around. For a desktop system where you know you're going to bash it and you're willing to tweak it and it has the power to pull it all off I'd recommend 2k but for an older computer I'd hesitate on that ... if the applications you want to run will work on NT I'd recommend that over 2k, if you're willing to spend a bit of time (in fact it'd probably take as much time as trying to get all the stuff together for a 2k install) getting the initial install right I'd recommend 95b or 98se over both of them from a speed, memory and disk space point of view and in the light of the fact that you CAN get it as stable as 2k/NT (assuming its not a 'bash around' system). Besides, 64 meg RAM will make Win2k go but it'll make Win98 fly. Of course, there's always Linux ;-) - Raymond --- /~\ | | Does fuzzy logic tickle?| | ___ | My HDD has no reverse.

You can disable COM1 in BIOS, but Windows finds it every time and reactivates it, IN BIOS! L50 has an infrared serial port which flops on COM2 as well. Even if disabled in Device Mangler. So, if your PCMCIA card can be COM3/4 and your device will talk to COM3/4, fine. But you will need a fresh an IRQ because the unused internal serial devices will take theirs anyway. I have a unused COM1, infrared COM2, and a Socket Comunications PCMCIA on COM3/4 but its actual comport and IRQ squish around like jello. I just keep finding where Bill Gates put my COMports today ( Where do YOU want to go today, little plug-n-play device? ) Bottom line, if you have a mini-replicator, I suggest you use it.

[T] Ok .. my GPS will only be plugged in for as long as it takes to program it
(say 10 mins) and unplugged again. I rarely screw comms leads in as it's less
painful (expensive) when you trip over them!
The PCMCIA
card almost always presents a flimsy thin cable, easily broken.
[T] Point taken . I've got a PCMCIA Modem, NIC and SCSI but not used any of them
'hard' . I can see how they could be vulnerable though. ;-(
Plus, the Libretto ( in my experience a L50 which has NO replicator bar, so
I am forced to use the PCMCIA serial card ) does NOT like to relinquish its
internal serial ports. You can disable COM1 in BIOS, but Windows finds it
every time and reactivates it, IN BIOS! L50 has an infrared serial port
which flops on COM2 as well. Even if disabled in Device Mangler.
[T] Ah, been there, done that .. ok, that's worth avoiding .. ('Device Mangler'
.. LOL)
So, if your PCMCIA card can be COM3/4 and your device will talk to COM3/4,
fine. But you will need a fresh an IRQ because the unused internal serial
devices will take theirs anyway. I have a unused COM1, infrared COM2, and a
Socket Comunications PCMCIA on COM3/4 but its actual comport and IRQ squish
around like jello. I just keep finding where Bill Gates put my COMports
today ( Where do YOU want to go today, little plug-n-play device? )
[T] LOL again . someone needs to give that man a firm talking to ..!
Q, How many Microsoft Marketing people does it take to change a light bulb?
A, None. They declare 'darkness' and new industry standard! ;-)
Bottom line, if you have a mini-replicator, I suggest you use it.
[T] Hmm, you don't sound convinced Pers! (OK .. you share the comments of others
so who am I to argue with the teachings of my mentors ..)

I'm about the become the proud owner of a 50CT (32M) with all the basic

You'll need a 15v supply, not 12v. I can't plough my way through the
Maplin

switch-mode
15v 2a supplies will work. It must be regulated though, not one of the
'transformer and two diodes' types.
Neil, why did you not interpret this as I need a power supply for it that I
can plug into12v?
Is this English spoken, American tolerated?
G
[T] To be fair to Neil (and I know we are only having fun here) I was a little
cryptic yet very specific in the same sentence.
I'm about the become the proud owner of a 50CT (32M) with all the basic bits
(I mentioned the 32M as I believe it was only fitted with 16M as std and was
also thinking 'all the basic bits' were Libby, PCMCIA floppy, std Li batt, mini
port replicator, 110-240V DC PSU, books, disks etc.)
and will need a 12V power supply for it (intending (but not clearly) that I
wanted the 'source' to be 12V?)
Now I know you knew all that, I was just giving an example of how difficult it
it to put stuff across unambiguously?
traveling... much delay in catching messages,
sorry if I reply and others have already
and I lost many many emails in a crash also!
[T] PC not car crash I hope? ;-)
Thanks Pres / Neil and all ..

Agreed that it would be a pain in the rear; when I need to do something like that, I tend to rely on tree tmp.txt and a text editor. Under Windows (if Windows is loadable), the easy solution is to select the directories in question and use the Send to clipboard as name command from the MS PowerToys. That was the problem. Windows wouldn't boot and after finally reinstalling it, it was (is still still working on it) corrupted as all heck. But I've already obliterated one partition with Ghost about a year ago. One wrong slip oon the command line and POOF! :0 Yup. I've screwed up a couple of systems that way too. Guess you read my post on EZBios. That turned out okay. See my upcoming post on that. Good suggestion though. It is a possibility. Later thought: don't Win95/98 come with a program for backing up long filenames? Could you use that to back up the long names and then use something like pkzip to back up the actual files? Guess you read my post on the doslfnbk.exe utility I found. Worked well... but I'm surprised that there isn't (maybe there is) a standard piece of MS, or some other 'brand name' software that would do this a bit more easily.

Bear in mind I haven't tried these - I actually wrote code to put my individual tracks together to make complete albums again... otherwise I'd be messing with a thousand or so tracks. If you can get hold of an MPEG editor, you can work directly on the compressed file and locate the gaps between the tracks. Cut and save to individual files. I've seen and used these, but you won't want to spend the money that our professional systems cost :) There should be some cheaper versions out there by now on the shareware sites.

It is Ghost. When I upgraded to a 12 G HD a year ago, the same thing happened. The problem with this is that once Ghosted, you can not use Partition Magic on the HD to repartition and hide the area over 8G that the bios uses to sleep in. Does anyone know of repartitioning software that is compatible with a drive that has been Ghosted? Do you want to keep the ghosting on the HDD? If not, FDISK /MBR MAY restore the original MBR. Or ghost backup everything, delete everything with PM or FDISK, create new partitions, and restore from Ghost files.

Was hoping to find a switch for W95/W98 setup.exe that would skip running Scandisk. Found I could do a setup /? and get the lists of switches: --- Setup Options: SETUP [batch] [/T:tmpdir] [/im] [/id] [/is] [/iq] [/ie] [/ih] [/iv] batch Specifies the name and location of the file that contains the Setup options. /T:tmpdir Specifies the directory where Setup will copy its temporary files. If the directory doesn't exist, it will be created. Caution: Any existing files in this directory will be deleted. /imSkips the memory check. /idIgnores the disk-space check. /isSkips the routine system check. /iqSkips the check for cross-linked files. /ieDoes not create an Emergency Boot Disk. /ihSkips the registry check. /ivSkips the display of billboards during setup. --- After repeated attempts at installing Windows in DOS on a P120 Lib, ALL those switches might help at speeding things up. Must test. More testing is good. Must test more. I like /iv.

AW: [LIB] Win2000 Libretto 100CT
Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2002 08:21:58 +0100 From: Gerhard Kapusta [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: AW: [LIB] Win2000 Libretto 100CT Hi Leonardo! I strongly recommend Win2k. It is stable and reliable, all Lib-features (power management, suspend hibernation, card station with USB, hot dock, hot swap and so on) work perfectly. I use it without problem. Of course it is a bit slower than W98, but try to avoid to run unnecessary programs in the background and do not install a lot of programs into the right corner of the systray - this can save some memory space. I would recommend to change the disk, because 2.1GB is not much for Win2k, a fresh installation without software uses already 1 GB! But disks are cheap now and you have the choice up to 40GB now! Make sure to get a 9.5mm disk, 12mm will not fit into the Lib without ugly body modification! regards Gerhard Gerhard Kapusta Email home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] FaxVoicebox: +4989-1488201115 ** 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 put in a snipe bid on it with 10 seconds to go and just topped the next high bidder. Now what I have to do is decide which way I'm going to go for USB port enhancement - get one of those ugly little USB HUB port add-ons with a heavy power supply OR the more elegant (and more expensive of course) PMCIA card with 4 USB ports and another heavy power supply.this option will allow me to retain the one USB port in the port replicator but, of course, takes up a card slot! Anybody have any ideas on this, what is anybody else using for multiple USB devices, mouse, keyboard, external HD's and CD drives, etc.? The card uses the new 2.0 USB standard but I don't have anything that requires this anyway. Heh... you've got a L110 with USB, do you still have that PC card you got a month back? Now all you need is to figure out what kind of USB device you can use to plug into it! I kinda wondered what people are doing with the USB. Matt I passed the PC card onto a friend of mine for his new laptop but in the meantime I've realized I can just use a 4 port USB HUB with its own power supply to run the USB devices. I will be running a USB mouse, a foldup USB keyboard and a USB external HD + room to plug in a scanner or printer as needed. I might even wind up with a USB external CD-RW drive if I can't get the no-name PMCIA card CD-ROM drive I already have to work in the new L110. The Win95 setup in the L70 could never find this device and I never figured out what brand it is to download the drivers for it. Any suggestions on how to get an unknown CD-ROM drive to work in an L110 anybody?

What do you need to run off the serial port? It might well be faster/easier to use the infrared serial port, its a (relatively) trivial matter adapting most serial devices to run off that. Of course, your OTHER problems Please explain how to take the following serial devices and trivially adapt them to IrDa so I can easily use them with my Libretto: well there are a number of ways of doing things. They're (relatively) low speed so if you were willing to take them apart (and if you're lucky!) you can get the raw RX/TX lines from whatever device you're looking at BEFORE the RS-232 driver IC and pipe them through to an IrDA tranciever (I got a few Agilent HSDL-1001-011 low-speed IrDA compliant trancievers for about $4USD or so which I was going to play with, there are higher speed ones such as the HSDL-1100-018 but they're more complicated to play with due to more signal shaping components required). If you're unlucky you'll find that the signals emerge from the microprocessor already at RS-232 levels so you'll need to use the alternative idea. Both trancievers should give you at least a foot of transmit distance with a visible angle of a bit over 90º (thats being conservative, I've had better but things start going loopy). I could get one of them going at a *reasonable* speed even with my dodgy soldering but I wouldn't want to go any higher than say 14400 with the low speed version on breadboard. These ICs have on-board amps and low-pass filters and whatnot so you just shove TTL (5 volt) level signals into them for transmit and you get back TTL signals out of them for recieve (along with the appropriate caps for nice signals, the data sheet has all the details). I went for the Agilent tranciever because it had all the basic circuit diagrams already on the data sheet to get the thing going on TTL logic levels (it only needed 2 capacitors and a resistor in my situation). An alternative that I understand people have used successfully is the Vishay-Telefunken TFDS4500 unit but I don't know how good or otherwise that is because I can't get it here. I'll be mucking around with the Agilent tranciever hooked up to a PIC16F84 microcontroller some time soon, I'll make mention of what sort of success I get with that (thats if I get around to it!). The alternative is to use a second RS-232 driver and voltage pump IC such as one of the Maxim MAX232 devices, plug the RS-232 level signals from your device into the RS-232 line level side of the MAX232 then back the TTL level side of one of them onto an IrDA tranciever (again with the necessary caps and whatnot, again data sheet has all the details and if you keep the speeds to not much higher than 14400bps you can afford to breadboard the lot without worrying too much about stray capacitance ... if you want to go higher you'd want to do things properly). If you did this you could probably in fact build it into a little box - a DB9 on one end and an IrDA window on the other (plus 5V power supply of course). That'll let you make any device you've got wireless (although you've still got the cable there). Of course, all this is 'hack together' circuitry but from what I read and in my (limited!) experience it seems to work OK for low to mid range speeds (I do have some problems with my cellphone modem dropping out every now and again, I'm still wondering if thats a dry joint or a circuit design problem but its not too serious, it just means every few minutes I get a 'signal obstructed' warning from Windows but it recovers within 1 or 2 seconds so I don't actually drop the connection). *shrug* your mileage may vary.

Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2002 09:18:29 +0800 From: Raymond [EMAIL PROTECTED] I haven't timed mine lately, a couple hours on the big pack I think. I get just under 2 hours on a brand new standard pack with the libby on high power and playing MP3s continuously ... that was with my old hard drive, IIRC my new one uses a tad less power so it might be even longer now. - Raymond Raymond, I've forgotten which Lib model you're using. 2 hours on a standard battery for which Lib? I never got more than 45-55 minutes out of my standard L50 battery though I forget whether or not I was using a CPE idler. But you're pushing yours hard! The laptop is a standard L50 BUT IT WAS OVERCLOCKED TO 100!. The battery pack is for the L70. I had problems believing it myself but it happened (it was in the 1:40-1:50 minute range, I ran the test twice). Bear in mind the pack was brand new though ... I might do a test some time soon and see if I get similar results. The thing is, I ignored all the low battery warnings (I hit 1% pretty quick but it stayed there). *shrug* - Raymond --- /~\ | | Does fuzzy logic tickle?| | ___ | My HDD has no reverse.
