I overcloced mine to 266MHz but found it unstable when using PCMCIA cards. I slowed it to 233MHz and all is fine. Any 110CT driver will work with the 100CT. Get the latest BISO from Toshiba. I run Win98SE on mine and it is very stable. You really need to find a 32MB RAM module to get to the max of 64 MB RAM. I have a 40 GIG hard drive in my 100CT which is very nice. With FAT32 partitions you can use ISO images. Right now a 120 Gig drive will cost you $90 plus shipping. Good luck!

Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2006 20:16:42 - From: Michael Heathcote [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Margi DVD-to-Go card works! I've been a member of this list for over 6 years or more, but I have not used my 50CT for quite a while since buying a Portege 3490CT. The main problem of the 50CT been lack of 32 bit cardbus USB with modern peripherals. While surfing on ebay last week I noticed a 100CT going for a good price with only a few minutes left, an impulse bid and I won! For only 87 pounds I now have a 100CT, std extended batteries, standard dock, enhanced dock, power supply floppy. Well pleased! Unmodified standard clock speed, original HDD but unfortuately only the on board 32MB RAM...you can't have it all I guess!!! Now a few years ago I bought a Margi DVD-to-Go card with dongle for my Portege, but at the time I did not realise the Portege was not Zoom Video supported, so the card has not been used. Today I gave the card a go in the 100CT, and after reading many posts over the years with people not been able to get the card to work in the 100 or 110CT, I was quite shocked when it worked! Presently the 100CT is running windows 95 with only 32MB Ram running at 166MHz. What I did notice was that windows automatically loaded the incorrect driver for the card when first inserted and did not initially work. Updating the driver for the correct one from Margi solved the problem. Full screen seemless DVD playback audio playing a DVD from my 16 bit PCMCIA 4x Argosy external DVD ROM drive. Amazing! Now that I know it works I am going to change the HDD for something larger and load Windows 98SE for the USB support. Hope the Margi DVD-to-Go card works okay under Windows 98SE! Now a quick question. Does it matter whether I use 100CT or 110CT drives for my 100CT? There appears to be more drivers available for the 110CT on the Toshiba website for 98SE. Thanks, Mike.

Just tonight I set up a 10 gig drive for my new Libby 70CT. I didn't use FDISK I used Partition Magic 8.0. It showed the drive as 8 gig drive when I partitioned it in the Libby. PM8 uses the Libby BIOS to get the drive info. Taking the drive out and putting it in a USB external case I attached it to my XP desktop. Sure enough Drive management shows 1.8 gig unallocated space. That include the drive memory swap area that the Libby uses. Do not try to use this area! When the Libby sleeps it copies the contents of RAM at the 8 gig boundry and overwrites anything that is there. Anyway, the costs of drives are dropping and that is good for all Libby users! My 70CT is just for DOS (but I did set up a 1.8 gig partition for Win98 just for easier networking file management) Tony Oresteen W1AJO Montverde, FL De Oppresso Liber - Original Message - From: Philip Nienhuis [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Libretto libretto@basiclink.com Sent: Friday, December 01, 2006 7:09 AM Subject: Re: [LIB] 110 HD upgrade??

Since Toshiba hasn't made a proper port replicator with a standard VGA output, if you loose you VGA dongle forget about giving a presentation or using a full size screen.

[LIB] Express Media Sofware
Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2006 15:55:25 -0500 From: Tony Oresteen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Express Media Sofware Sorry if this has been covered before but I think it is important! I just got a Libretto U105 yesterday. In less than 24 hours I've manage to screw up the hard drive (hey, there's more than just XP out there!). I tried to create a 700mb partition at the beginning of the drive for DOS. I used Portion Magic 8 and it created the partition and moved the files. Unfortunately, it screwed up some files in the move as WinXP now doesn't boot. No problem, I just reached for the recovery CD. Cracking open the DVD package, I discovered an info sheet that says How to recover the Express Media Software (for the Libretto U105 model Only). Reading it, it says: 1. The Express Media Player Software is NOT on the recovery CD. 2. Back up the Express Media Player software by using Recovery Disc Creator. Naturally, I never did this - who would open a recovery DVD to see if there is a hidden note in it? I got lots of pop ups on the U105 for various things but never one that said to back up any software. Now that my WINXP system is corrupted, how am I supposed to back it up? So if you have a U105 and have never backed up the Express Media Software, you should do it now! Toshiba is looking for a disk to send me. It seems that they don't have any part numbers for Express Media Player for the U105! BTW, the recovery DVD is brain dead. It was smart enough to see that I had two portitions on the hard drive. It give you two options: 1. Install in the first partition and leave #2 alone. 2. Delete all partitions and install XP in a new single partition Now partition 1 is 700mb in size. How is it going to install XP in 700mb? It didn't bother to check partition size. There is NO option to install into partition 2! Now that is brain dead! So if you partion your drive, leave XP in the FIRST partion if you want to use the recovery DVD. ~~~ Tony Oresteen

I deleted the 700mb DOS partition at the beginning of the hard disk. I left it as unused space. Rebooted from the hard drive and like magic WinXP booted just fine! First thing I did was make a back up of Express Media Player Software. Next stop was Disk Management. Sure enough, Disk Manager showed 700mb unused space at the beginning of the hard drive. I then created a partition in it and formatted it as FAT. Everything is fine now.

Since PC-DOS 7 comes with Phoiex PCMCIA drivers 3.x I'd thought I would start there. The PCMCIA install created a line in the CONFIG.SY that calls PCMSS.EXE (this is the SOCEKET SERVICES driver). PCMSS.EXE does not come with PC-DOS 7. Instead, there are 4 chip specific files for socket services: PCMSSIT.EXE Intel PCMCIA controller PCMSSCL.EXE Cirus Logic chip PCMSSDB.EXE DataBook chip PCMSSRI.EXE Ricoh chip. I guess the install routine couldn't figure out which chip the L100CT has so it used the generic PCMSS.EXE driver which I don't have. Looking at Win98 Device Manager on the 100CT, the PCMCIA chip is reported as ToPIC97. Anyone know which SOCKET SERVICES driver I should use? Better yet, any one have the PCMCIA slot working in any flavor of DOS? TIA

Re: [LIB] L2 and Japanese Windows
Date: Mon, 1 Aug 2005 19:45:42 -0400 From: Tony Oresteen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] L2 and Japanese Windows Keith, There are a couple of ways to do it. Here's how I would do it: 1. Copy the WIN98 directory from the Windows 98 SE CD on to a 128mb or 256mb CF card. It's 121 MB of files. 2. Boot the L2 using the floppy drive (I assume it has a bootable floppy) and Partition Magic 8.0 3. Create a 512mb partition at the END of the hard drive. FORMAT it FAT. Make sure the 1st partition with Japanese Windows is ACTIVE. 4. Boot Windows on the L2 and open My Computer. If you see C and D drives you can now copy the WIN98 directory files from the CF card (use a PCMCIA to CF adapter). If you don't see a second drive it's because it's marked hidden. Win98 will see multiple primary partions on a drive IF they are marked with a status of NONE. I use System Commander to do this. 5. Re-boot Partition Magic 8.0 and now FORMAT the Japaness partition FAT 32. You will loose ALL DATA! 5. Now boot with a Win98 boot disk. At the command prompt go to the D: drive, change directoty to WIN98. Start SETUP and you are off. Other ways would be to just create a WIN98 directory on the C: drive, copy the WIN98 files, boot to a Win98 disk, delete all files except the Win98 and then run SETUP from the Win98 directory. I would get all the L2 drivers off the Toshiba site and copy them to floppy disks so you can get the hardware running that Win98 doesn't have.

I'm currently looking to by a L2 from someone who said the machine has Japanese Windows ME installed on it. He also said he has tried, unsuccessfully, to install an English version on it, too. The machine comes with an external CD drive, which is not a Toshiba brand and therefore cannot boot from that drive, the guy said. I am by no means a computer expert and have little knowledge or expertise in this field. But I don't read Japanese. I can barely read English. It's a good deal, this machine. I don't want to let it go just because I can't figure out how to install the software. Can anyone help?

[LIB] Linux on a 100CT
Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2005 09:44:56 -0400 From: Tony Oresteen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Linux on a 100CT I've decided to run Linux on my Libby 100CT (233MHz 64MB RAM). I have a spare 12 Gig drive that I will use only for Linux. DOS/Win98 will stay on the 40Gig. Last night I partition the 12 Gig as follows: Partition 1: 128mb Linux Swap Partition 2: Logical Partition 1: 52mb Boot Linux ext2 Logical Partition 2: 7.2 gig Linux ext3 Partition 3: 100mb Libby hibernate area Partition 4: 4 gig Linux ext3 To partition I first booted to Partition Magic 8.0 and it saw the drive as an 8 gig. I wrote down the last sector info. I then booted to EZ-BIOS 9.09 and installed EZ-BIOS. I then booted PM 8.0 and it now saw the drive as a 12 gig. I made the first partition 8 gig and adjusted the size until it was the EXACT size that PM saw without EZ-BIOS. I then created the 100mb hibernate area. Once the hibernate area was established (do NOT format it) I then cut up the 8 gig portion into swap, boot, and stuff. The remaining 4 gig was made a Linux stuff partition. Now the hard part. How do I load the Linux distribution files to the hard drive? I downloaded Amigo Linux 2.0 to my Windows 2K box but I am wondering how to get them on the 12 gig drive. Suggestions? TIA! Tony

So finding an open circuit across it was probably a dead giveaway. That fuse powered the screen, and I guess I was pretty lucky that Neil had dealt with the exact same issue. Ahem. Lucky. Cheeky whippersnapper :) Neil has been an electronics engineer for nearly thirty years and knew what he was looking for... and if one 70 had a fault in one of three power circuits, it was a good place to start looking. Now the issue with this 110 MB is that nothing works when the system is powered up. Or nothing that I can detect besides 3 out of 4 LEDs lighting, and the HDD spinning. So there may be no dead fuse to find. Silly question I know - but is there anything coming out of the video socket? Is it just the video screen that's dead?

Lots of problems! The first thing to add was a USB 2.0 PCMCIA PC Card. I found one on ebay for about $7 plus postage. It uses the NEC chip. (look at ebay item 6744246898; that's the one I bought). The USB adapter was an easy install. Using a USB FLASH hard drive (JumpDrive, Pin Drive etc) proved that the USB card was working fine. I then plugged in the Datastor 40 gig hard drive. Nothing. L100CT did not show the drive. Then I realized why. The HD was formated NTFS, the L100CT is running Windows 98. So I downloaded a utility that lets Win98 read NTFS parttions, loaded it and rebooted everything. Still nothing. After 45 minutes I stopped trying to get the utility to work. Last night I re-formated the Datastor into 2 Fat32 drives. The drive reads fine on my destop machine (Windows 2000). Plugged it into the L100CT. Nothing. I decieded that there wasn't enought power coming from the PC card so I hooked up the USB power cord that draws power from the PS2 port. No help. Still nothing. Called Pocketec tech support. We plugged the drive into the USB 1.1 port on the L100CT docking station. All drives show fine!! The problem is the power from the PC Card. Even with a boost from the PS port still not enough power. Recomended solution is to get the AC adapter for the Pocketec hard drive. Guess what? The AC adapter is out of stock! So I have to wait a couple of weeks. I think that once I get the AC adapter it should work at USB 2.0 speeds. Right now it will work at USB 1.1 but it is SLOW! Anyone else hook up a USB 2.0 hard drive to the L100CT/L110CT?

I posted a question about installing Win XP on my L100 yesterday. Sorry to be back again so soon, but I've run into more problems using a different approach. What I did this time is: 1. I installed the Libretto's hard drive in my desktop as the secondary drive, formatted as FAT32 and partitioned as 8GB primary-100MB free-10GB primary, copied the Win XP install CD to a directory on the hard drive, then re-installed the hard drive in the Libretto, booted from a Win 98 boot floppy, ran smartdrv.exe, went to the i386 directory, and ran winnt.exe. 2. This started the Setup process in DOS, and after various files were copied over, I came to a screen that said the DOS part of Setup was completed and instructing me to remove any floppy disk and press Enter to restart the computer and continue Setup. 3. I did so, and the Libretto wouldn't reboot. I got a message saying invalid system disk and instructing me to replace the disk and hit Enter. 4. When I insert the Win 98 boot floppy (the only system disk I could think of), Setup doesn't continue, instead the Libretto simply boots from the boot floppy to the a:\ prompt. I've tried setting the BIOS to boot from HDD first or from FDD first, it doesn't make a difference. I've also tried installing Win 2K and Win 98 in the same manner, and I run into exactly the same problem: after the first part of the setup is complete, and the Libretto needs to be restarted to complete the setup process, it won't restart - it always goes to the invalid system disk message. I've also tried this process with two different hard drives, with the same problem. I am really quite stumped. Does anyone have any suggestions? It sort of seems like the Libretto isn't recognizing the c:\ drive as a system drive. My feeling is this isn't a Libretto-specific problem, it is a generic computer problem. But I have no idea what it is.

When I opened my L100CT up to re-seat my 32MB expansion card I notice that the screw (a single screw) that secures the keyboard was missing. It's worked well thus far without it. It looks to be very small so be careful with it. Gently lift the keyboard up from the top by the number keys, tilt it toward you. It will be attached in 3 places with ribbon cable. You should not have to disconnect anything to install the RAM card. Reverse the procedure.

Sometine the 100CT would not boot until it cooled down for awhile. I decided to slow the 100CT down a bit and set the speed to 233 MHZ on Tuesday. Since then I've coppied a lot of cd-roms and the unit is stable with the CD-ROM attached. The PCMCIA card doesn't seem to be as hot (it is warm thought!). It has 64MB RAM. Tony Oresteen Montverde, FL

[LIB] CF Card Libretto
Date: Thu, 3 Feb 2005 15:20:01 -0500 From: Tony Oresteen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: CF Card Libretto A tip a question. Tip: I've been using a Compact Flash card to move data from my desktop to my Libretto. I use a CF to PCMCIA adapter in the Libretto 100CT and a CF USB reader on my desktop. For $75 I bought a new SanDisk 1 GB CF card from BH Photo NY. You can copy an entire cd-rom to the CF card and then copy it to the HD in the LIBRETTO without needing to haul an external CD-ROM drive. Use a USB 2.0 CF reader if you can (My home readed is USB 2.0, my work readed is USB 1.1. Big difference!!!) Question: If I leave the CF in the Libretto and re-boot Windows 98, Windows 98SE crashes. I remove the CF card, reboot and all is fine. Once Windows is booted I can insert the CF card and Win98 sees it just fine. I've tried it with CF cards that are 64mb, 128mm, 512mb, and 1 gb. Same problem. Windows 98 won't boot with the CF card in place. The message I get is that there is a problem with the STACKS and to increase it. No mater what I do with the STACKS command in the CONFIG.SYS file Win98 crashes on boot with a CF card inserted into the PCMCIA slot. Any ides? Tony Oresteen Montverde, FL

Re: [LIB] Overclocking 100CT
Date: Thu, 3 Feb 2005 16:34:48 -0500 From: Tony Oresteen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] Overclocking 100CT Dick, I used Xin's procedure here: http://www.fixup.net/tips/l100266.htm It took me about 33 minutes to overclock from 166 to 266. Going from 266 to 233 took about 50 minutes. I used a Radio Shack 15 watt soldering iron and a magnifying glass. To drop the speed to 233 I had to remove solder from the board. I used Radio Shack solder braid (solder wick) to undo one jumper I had soldered, and one that was factory soldered. It is a PAIN to get the motherboard area. Getting the back off was simple enough. Getting the PCMCIA unit off the motherboard required that you disconnect the LCD screen and rotate the MB so you can get at the last 2 screws holding the PCMCIA unit on the mother board. I accidentally knocked my 32mb RAM card out of it's socket so I had to remove the keyboard to get at the memory slot. That's why it took me longer to down speed as I had never replaced the memory in a 100CT so I had to figure it out. My advice is to overclock to 233 MHz. Take your time and you should be ok. If you have never soldered before get someone else to do it for you.

[LIB] Partitioning 40 gb HD on Libretto 100CT.
Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2005 11:55:34 -0500 From: Tony Oresteen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Partitioning 40 gb HD on Libretto 100CT. Installing a fresh 40 gig Hard Drive in a Toshiba Libretto 100CT for Dual Booting Windows 98 SE and IBM PC DOS 7.0 I recently installed a brand new Fujitsu 40 gig HD (model MHT2040AT - 9.5mm, 2.5, 4200 RPM) into my Libretto 100CT. The drive cost me $70. The problem with installing hard drives in the Libretto 100CT that are bigger than 8 gb is that the Libretto 100CT's BIOS has a hibernate sleep routine that writes the contents of memory to the hard drive. The 100CT BIOS writes directly to the 8 gig position of the hard drive as it assumes that the hard drive ends there. The Libretto 100CT thinks that all hard drives are not larger than 8 gb. This means that any data that is there is overwritten! To prevent data loss you have to create a small 100mb partition that you never use and thus it becomes reserved for the Libretto's hibernate function. Here's how I did it. Tools needed: 1. Partition Manager 8.0 floppy disks 2. EZ Bios software 3. Windows 98SE Boot floppy 4. Floppy Drive for Libretto 100CT 5. AC adapter for Libretto 100CT 6. Desktop computer with BIOS that will see entire 40 gig hard drive space of the hard drive. 7. 2.5 to 40 pin IDE cable adapter 8. Dual boot software I first updated the Toshiba Libretto 100CT to the latest BIOS 6.50. See the Toshiba website for the BIOS info on how to flash it. Make sure you are using an AC adapter when doing any BIOS updates or hard drive partitioning! I used Partition Manager 8.0 to do the partitioning. 1.. Step 1. Install the hard drive. Any 2.5 9.5mm high hard drive will fit. 2.. Step 2. Boot the Libby from the Partition Manager Floppy Boot Disk 1, then insert Disk 2 and get PM8 up and running. Use an AC adapter and an external mouse! 3.. Step 3. PM8 will see the disk as an 8 gig disk. Contrary to published reports, PM8 does in fact use the BIOS info to size a disk. It does NOT read the hard drive directly. Since I dual boot to DOS and Win98, I first created a 2 GIG FAT PRIMARY partition for DOS. I then created a PRIMARY FAT32 with the rest of the 8 gig drive for Windows 98. Since PM8 uses the Libby BIOS to size the disk, the hibernation area of the hard drive is properly reserved. Write down the beginning and ending sectors for each partition using PM8 INFO menu option. If you don't want a DOS partition, simply create a single FAT32 partition. 4.. Step 4. Remove the hard drive from the Libby. Install it in your desktop computer to complete the partitioning. Use a desktop that the BIOS can see past the 8 gig barrier! Make sure your PC BIOS sees the hard drive when it boots! You may have to jumper the 2.5 hard drive as a slave. 5.. Step 5. Boot your desktop with the PM8 floppies. PM8 will now see the entire size of the hard drive (in my case 40 gigs). You should see two primary partitions and a bunch of unallocated space. I created a 3rd primary partition with two partitions in it. 6.. Step 6. In the 3rd partition, first create a 100mb partition. This will become the area that the Libby uses when it hibernates. The Libby will copy the contents of memory to this area. Do NOT format this partition! Now create the last partition using all the remaining hard drive space (in my case it was about 29 gb). Format it as FAT32. While I had the hard drive in my desktop I copied the WINDOWS 98 install files (the WIN98 directory from the Windows 98 CD) to the 6 gb FAT32 partition (and the Toshiba Windows 98 files) and the DOS install files my DOS utilities to the 2 gb FAT partition. This makes getting the OS installed much easier! 7.. Step 7. Put the hard drive back into the Libby. Install EZ BIOS. Re boot using the Windows 98 Boot disk, navigate to the WIN98 directory, type SETUP and Windows 98 will start to install. You will need to get the Windows 98 files for the Libretto 100CT from the Toshiba web site. 8.. Here's how my 40 GB Fujitsu drive ended up being partitioned: 1st PRIMARY partition FAT 2 GB 2,047.3 mb 1st sector: 63 last sector: 4,192,964 2nd PRIMARY partition FAT 32 5.9 gb 1st sector: 4,192,964 Last sector: 16,338,104 3rd PRIMARY partition EXTENDED 1st Partition 101.9 mb NOT FORMATTED 1st sector : 16,338,168 Last sector: 16,546,949 2nd Partition 29.3 GB FAT32 1st sector: 16,547,013 Last sector: 78,140,159 After Windows 98 SE was up and running I installed my Boot Manager (System Commander from V Communications). I then installed PC DOS 7.0. I believe that this methodology will work with any hard drive up to 127 gb in size. That is where EZ BIOS stops translating sectors as I understand it. Once my 40 gig drive fill ups I will install a 100 gb! I hope that this info was helpful! Tony Oresteen
