I don't see an IBM 10GB drive on the Weesco site. I see 15GB and 20GB models, but they don't list which models they are. Actually it's Hitachi brand that the recent Travelstar drives are going with with the recent IBM/Hitachi joint drive merger. I wonder if the Weesco drives are recent models as their blurb implies, or are actually older IBM drives before the switch to the Hitachi brand name. $115 for the 20GB. Is that the going price for a 20GB HDD now? I got my Hitachi 40GB drive for $140 just a while back. Which drive were you looking at George? Matt From: Albert Viñals [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hey, very commendable Weesco, I bought them my 40GB Travelstar for my Libretto. Yes, you need to update your BIOS; see latest version at Toshiba site. You need also a Drive Overlay, in order to see your entire 10GB; I do think the best should be free EZ-Drive 9.09, better than IBM's Disk Manager, which gave me a lot of problems. Try to find a link to discharge it at www.silverace.com/libretto Also, I do think you need to install it before reinstalling W95 in your new HDD. Summing up, I advise to do a search in the files in the List; otherwise, Weesco are very kind on providing info, at least to get you minimally operative. Hope for the best.

Weesco's HDD kit (IBM 10Gig drive + EZ-GIG transfer system) still looks good to me - can someone please advise if I need to do anything with the BIOS (or indeed ANYTHING to the Libretto) before I go ahead? (Still running Win95B... 64MbRAM...) IF I need to upgrade my BIOS can I do this with my existing set-up without causing any running problems??

Date: Tue, 27 Apr 2004 08:48:58 + From: Matt Hanson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] EZ-Gig HDD swap Date: Tue, 27 Apr 2004 00:52:53 +0100 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I wil check their last email to me when I can (which is not now...) - ASSUMING either a 10Gig or 12Gig replacement drive, if that makes it any easier - what changes do I need to make to the Lib (I will raise the issue of price of HDD's at a more relevant time). I think Albert pretty much covered that. I'm not quite sure why you need to upgrade the system BIOS to deal with the new drive, but I do it by routiine when I get new system. There's really not much to do to install the drive.. The drive cap comes off with two screws. The drive has a handle to pull it out with. The handle comes off with 2 screws, so take it off and mount it on the new one. Slide it in, and replace cap and screws. Then you'll have to install EZ-Drive 9.09 drive overlay to solve the problem of the system BIOS only being able to deal with drives up to 8GB. I think David Chien has a copy on his adorablelibretto website. Date: Tue, 27 Apr 2004 00:56:46 +0100 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was not planning to /reinstall/ Win95 as such but simply COPY my existing drive to the new one (as per EZ-GIG's user instructions)... I wa shoping this would be the simplest and quickest method... EZ-GIG eh?: http://www.apricorn.com/product_details.php?ID=228 I'm assuming that package allows you to put your new drive in the EZ-GIG case, and connect it to a notebook via the PC card to transfer files, or make an image of the notebook drive, and load it onto the new drive. Only one snag there... and it's a big one. From the EZ-GIG page above: EZ-GIG's a great backup and restore solution, too. If you have the same or greater size hard drive, plug the EZ-GIG PC Card (Type II) into the PC Card slot, boot off the EZ Gig II CD, and watch your files, applications and operating system get moved quickly and easily. To my knowledge, no Libretto X0CT or 1X0CT will boot from a CD-ROM drive. What you could use instead is Norton Ghost via a bi-directional parallel port cable connected to some other system if you have one available. You'd boot the system from a boot floppy disk with Ghost, and send the image file to the other system if its drive has the space for the data on your Libretto. Swap in the new drive to the Libretto, boot the Ghost floppy, and install the image from the remote system to the Libretto. I'm not sure if Ghost can make an image of one drive, and install it on another drive at the same time without 1st writing one huge .gho file to another drive, and then accessing that file to load the drive onto another drive. If it can, or if EZ-GIG or some other software will do it, you could transfer the Win95 setup on your Libretto to the new drive in a desktop if you have one available, and feel good about getting inside. You'd pull the Libretto drive, install it on the desktop via a cheap 2.5 to 3.5 adapter as the 'master' drive. Install the new drive into the deaktop too with a jumper on a couple set of pins to male it a 'slave' drive. And run whatever software will do the trick to make an image on one, and write it directly to the other. But setting up drives in desktops can get funky if the BIOS is fussy about where each drive gets hooked up. I went down that road a few times. I'm sure someone will have a few other options for you. But as far as I know, the EZ-GIG approach booting from a CD-ROM won't fly. Try writing Apricorn, and ask them if you can load some files from the CD-ROM onto a floppy disk that will boot the Libretto, and get the PC-Card/Cable/EZ Gig II connection to the Libretto working in DOS.

I installed a firewall (CA EZArmor) on the L100 in W2K (it dual-boots W2K and W98se), and it did NOT work with Compuserve's integrated browser/ISP software. Locked up the PC requiring a hard reset to escape. After rebooting and shutting down the firewall, the browser still wouldn't connect. Hoping to avoid a big diagnostic hassle, I restored a Drive Image image that I'd made just prior to the firewall installation. Now, after selecting W2K from the boot loader menu, I get the log on screen and W2K accepts my ID and password. Then it sounds the startup orchestration, but displays a window saying Saving your settings, then I'm right back at the log-on screen. I tried re-restorng the image from W98se (which still loads and runs), but the same problem occurs. Any ideas? Thank you.

[LIB] wifi ethics
Date: Tue, 27 Apr 2004 15:39:15 -0400 From: Michael Hodish [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: wifi ethics Thanks, guys, for pointing out some of the metaphors for looking at using someone's open network. Frankly, I had not given the ethical side much thought, as I had no intention of tunnelling in- but rather, just getting i-net access. But, you are all quite correct...I found the example that it would be like walking into someones open office and using the phone rather illustrative and clarifying. I will ditch this thought, and continue searching for internet cafes when I travel. Thanks, all.
