Placed the Toshiba driver into Win95 /System and rebooted. No luck. Looked at the W2K OS and see it lists the PCMCIA cardbus controller as a Texas Inst PCI-1420. I placed the W2K driver into Win95 but it seems it won't work in 95. I'm now assuming that this is the problem since pluging in or removing the card has no affect when I'm using Win95, it doesn't recognize the slot being used with the drivers available. Unless I can get it to recognize the Texas cardbus I may be out of luck in Win95. Any other suggestions or observations?

The Toshiba US website used to have drivers for it (and probably still do) ... look under Libretto 50CT in the support area for the 95 drivers for the floppy drive, you may need to look under 100CT for Win2k ones. I *believe* the drive should work in your Dell with those drivers but it probably won't boot off it (as I understand the Libretto FDD put the PC card slot into a weird mode to get it to boot). - Raymond At 05:23 PM 21/05/2006 -0700, you wrote: Date: Sun, 21 May 2006 20:21:22 -0400 From: Lou S [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Lib 50 PC floppy card on Dell C610?

And drivers shouldn't be needed... right folks? Floppy and hard drives are usually controlled by BIOS. I'd just plug it in and see if it works. Matt It does work as expected on Win2K, just plug and play. But so far the plug 'n play is a no go for Win 95 hence the question about drivers. It simply doesn't recognize that the floppy PC card is being placed in the slot, no beeps, no new hardware Windows popup, nada. Never used a PC card for anything but the 50CT so I have little knowledge of them. As soon as I plug the PC card floppy into the 50CT running Win95 it recognizes the card. I can place drivers on the C610, just asking which ones I can experiment with to get the Dell to recognize the Toshiba PC card floppy. Any ideas on how to get it to work? - Louis

No, not at all, I said that when I use the word [LIB] as a filter for my Subject lne - ALL spam ceases to get into my mailbox, it's deleted at Hotmail's server. I also have one other filter that only members of a hobby club I correspond with use, that makes it impossible to receive any spam in my mailbox. Spammers are not going to selectively word the Subject line of each spam they send out even if they knew the words you filter on. If everyone would simply remember that all spammers are thieves and liars w/o exception, no one would ever reply to their email to begin with and they'd all have to get real jobs instead of stealing from the public. But we do have a few individuals in our society that aren't too bright and actually reply to spammers and even send them money - which they lose - all spammer are thieves, the rest of us filter our email. If you use Norton Internet Security or AtGuard, one way to block these things is to setup the adblocker to block anything with the string www.atlantistech.com that blocks the script that makes your brwoser send an e-mail. Very, very interesting Lou! I suspected this sort of thing was going on. But you're saying it's when you have Java activated, right? Matt Java has been called the culprit of a lot of browser problems for yrs. I use IE 5, Netscape 3 and 4.7 and Opera 4 on my PC at the same time. Each one acts differently and they all crash on occasion when Java is enabled. Opera seems to handle it the best and it loads Web pages super fast compared to IE which is pathetically slw. I usually disable Java in Netscape which has my real ISP email address in it, run Java on IE and have found Opera runs a bit funky w/Java. Sometimes Web site acknowledge it, other times they balk and say it's not operational even though I have it enabled. But I NEVER get popups with Opera! My IE has only a fake address placed in it since I never email with it, so IF Java were the culprit here (I'm told that it is on occasion), the browser wouldn't send my real email address out anyway. Search the Net, there are lots of posts and info concerning security flaws in IE with Java enabled. That's why Micro$oft keeps offering patches for their browser. One catch with some email was that the sender would place a code in his email to tell your browser to go to his Web site and download a Gif. Once it did it also confirmed that the code, unique to you, was used and he now knows the email address he sent that code to is active. when I get email from a Yahoo group I subscribe to, I only read it off line which eliminates all the ads their email tells your browser to fetch once you open the email if you're online. Again, if the Lib group's moderator/owner were to eliminate all of our email addresses from showing up in our posts (like mine did in your reply to me Matt), spam would drop off and even be nonexistant for new email accounts since no one would ever have access to those email addresses.

I just got a two page email from Nokia concerning all their CP's that are capable of connecting a PC to the Net whether via Infrared or Nokia Data Cable. Looks like I'll have some variety when it comes to choosing a new CP to connect to the Net with a Libretto. But I still will need to contact Verizon about the availability of service, some problems can be encountered whether the CP is in Analog or Digital mode. One question would be, which type of connection would be best, Infrared, PCMCIA, Serial, other? Data will be slow to begin with on an Analog network so I'd want to avoid that but Digital isn't that much faster as I recall. I did have to remove the Generic IRDA device on the L50 due to a conflict with the PCMCIA floppy drive which was using the same I/O address as I recall, never found a way around that.

I can only guess that Windows and/or MSIE and maybe Netscape, manage to find email addresses configured into mail clients, and uses them in response to the mailto HTML tags on websites. I'm still wondering if anyone involved in HTML and writing server scripts might know what's going on with this. Matt As I recall reading in the past, someone who knows what he is doing could enable a Java applet or script to delve into your mail client and come up w/the address, unknown if this is really true. I just happen to not run Java on my one browser (Netscape) that allows me email access. I do use it with the browsers (Opera, Internet Explorer) that have no email info imbedded in them but usually turn it on only when needed. Not using it eliminates pop up messages/advertisements. Also, make sure you do not check the box for Send email address as anonymous FTP password if your browser (Netscape) allows for such. Not a good thing to do. Just reading a spam can tell the spammer all he needs to know. I read none of the garbage that comes in. I block everything by domain name if possible but never actually read the spam itself. If the spammer includes a command in the email that tells your browser to go to their Web site to download a jpeg file that wasn't in the email they sent you, they can place a code in that jpeg request so they know it came from a specific email address which will tell them that your email address is active = lots more spam because they can now sell your address as active to other lusers of society (spammers). The nice people on news.admin.net-abuse.email can better explain spamming to you, they make an art out of killing spammers accounts, and they're pretty good at it too.

Re: 128MB for Libretto 110, is there a way?
Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2001 07:21:00 -0500 From: "Lou S" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: 128MB for Libretto 110, is there a way? Hi Paul, thanks for the posts, they certainly caused a lot of folks to pay attention to the memory upgrade possibilities of the Libretto. I was unable to download your jpeg's at first and responded to what I thought you may have done, that is, you used the current memory boards within the Libretto. But you're really "adding" memory chips to the board, that is possible I suppose but 99.99% of the people here would not be able to do it, especially if it requires unsolding surface mount chips and cutting a new circuit board. There is also very little room inside the Libretto versus the IBM PC to add more chips, where would a new board fit in? Also, it still is; in my mind anyway; a matter of the addresses on the memory chip, can the CPU use the new, extra addresses properly? I am only familiar with upgrading the memory capacity on a radio. I added switches to allow me to addresses certain addresses on a radio memory chip one at a time. An example would be a TV, let's say each channel is 16MB of memory. To use a different 16MB of memory I need to change channels, but since I only watch one channel at a time that's not a problem using a manual switch to address memory. On my radio I only listen to one station (memory) at a time so it's not a problem adding 16 times the memory capacity for storage. But I am not all that familiar with a PC's CPU and how it uses RAM memory chips. If your IBM shows more RAM, is it actually there or is the CPU fooled into thinking it's there? Once you can explain how the CPU can access the extra addresses on the new memory chip I'll be able to understand how you did the mod. PC are not my area of expertise, I'll do a hack here and there but your idea is new to me. Explain in more detail, take your time, no need to rush, I'm not about to run out and buy more chips today :) Best wishes, Louis _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---UNSUBSCRIBE--- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST-- Use above but add DIGEST to the subject line... **
Re: 128MB for Libretto 110, is there a way?
Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2001 18:32:24 -0500 From: "Lou S" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: 128MB for Libretto 110, is there a way? Concerning the space of Libretto's addition memory chip. I think, you can solid over the existing ram chip (on top of the orginal ram just like the IBM PC110, Piggyback the new RAM chip into place? Most likely not possible on the 50Ct, too tight in there and the memory chips are already stacked, wiring new ones in will be a nightmare. And while I'm at it, I KEEP forgetting to mention that back in '96 I paid $179 for 16 MB additional RAM, last month I paid $69 for 128 MB of RAM. The prices in '96 made it very unlikely that Toshiba (or anyone else) would give you a 32 MB RAM chip and only use 16 MB of it on the 50CT. The only way to get more RAM was to add it to the slot provided for upgrading and unless someone can find a board that will fit into "that" slot with more than 16 MB of RAM on it, all the stock 50CT should be capable of is 32 MB RAM, sorry. As for what Paul is offering, it could work provided we can cram another board inside a 50CT, it's tight in there! Mounting the chips flat on the back of the existing ones will require a lot of soldering of wires Paul, even I'll pass on this one. I've unsoldered and resoldered mega-pin surface mount chips before, no_fun_at_all :( The reason why I wish to find the solution for memory upgrade is currently I use Win2K with my Libretto. Win2K is a memory eater Can it be configured to be less of a memory eater? Either that or you need a 100CT or 110CT for more RAM. If you have any files or pictures you want placed on a WEB site, if you do not have access to one, let me know I can loan you space. Keep in mind that many sites like Yahoo offer "free" Web pages too. It'll make it easier for fellow Libretto owners on this board to get at the info at their leasure and not tie up this particular board with large files. _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---UNSUBSCRIBE--- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST-- Use above but add DIGEST to the subject line... **

Mine is running at 99.97MHz according to Norton's Utility but I see no performance gains myself, your results may vary. Mine did shut down once while using the enhanced replicator and the parallel port to copy files (very slwly) from another PC, doing that creates heat. put a big hard drive in it, See http://www.amherst.co.uk/libhdup.htm and http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ for hard drive upgrade info more ram and windows 98. 16 MB more RAM can be had for about $53 at http://www.coastmemory.com/result.asp?modelID=4641 I've bought from them and had no problems. Win 98? If you so desire try 98 Lite though, less memory and space hogging. I've gone back to Win 95 on all my machines. You could partition your HD like my 50Ct is, DOS 6.22 Win 3.1 on one partition, Win 95A on the other. I have Win 98 on one of the desktop's partitions for experimenting in that environment. Concerning the touch pad mouse. If you want a PS/2 mouse since you don't have USB on the 50CT try this one http://atekelec.com/Accessories/accessories.html it looks small enough and according to a news release the PS/2 is coming eventually.

Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 23:31:32 -0500 From: "Lou S" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: 128MB for Libretto 110, is there a way? Eventually this solution is for IBM PC110 to increase the memory. 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/strongarmdocs.html just download the TC51V16165CFTS-60 Toshiba EDO DRAM Data Sheet (pdf, 1.68 MB) Do we have pinouts on the CPU chip? Someone out there must have a schematic or service manual. _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---UNSUBSCRIBE--- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST-- Use above but add DIGEST to the subject line... **
