I have it installed and running but cannot start X. It tries and then bombs out. The log file shows that it tries PCI without any joy then fails as it tries for an ISA bus device. I have set it as the CT65550 chipset and 31.5 Horizontal refresh rate. Can someone email a working XF86Config file to me please? Experience with Mandrake 7.1, 8.2, and 9 suggests that X4.2 has serious problems with the lib 50/70. As far as I can tell, the latest version of X4.2.1(?) does actually work on the lib but it's detection stuff doesn't work, so it sulks on the configuration stage. I think this is to do with the lib running the video chip on the vesa bus, and X4 looks on the PCI and AGP busses. Not that there's enough memory on the lib to do an install past M7.1 anyway... I have an idea that Redhat 7 is roundabout equivalent to Mandrake 8 - in which case it will come with KDE2 or 3, both of which are serious resource hogs on the lib. The best solution I came up with was M7.1 with kde1.3 apps, using icewm as the window manager. Having said that, the 3.3.6 drivers work a treat...I'll fire up the lib and post something.

Bürümcekci [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: BIOS problem I have a Libretto 50CT. I tried to boot it today but the BIOS messages did not come up. I turned it off, but it went to hibernation with a long series of beeps. I tried it turn it on several times but nothing came to screen. I tried it again after a break and it stated that there was no ROM in the system and that I needed to use Toshiba key. I have no idea what this is. I tried turning it on and off again several times and at one point it counted the memory. After several tries it passed that stage and asked the password. I typed it but it did not continue loading up the system. I do not know how I messed up the BIOS but is there a way to save this baby? Thanks. The bios can be replaced if you have a *720kB* formatted floppy with a bios image on it - I have 6.50 available on my web site at www.nbarnes.easynet.co.uk/Binaries/1014v650.exe which is iirc an executable which will build the proper disc image (it's a long time since I did one!). Once you have the image, start the machine with the f12 key pressed. *HOWEVER* it probably isn't the bios: symptoms sound more like dodgy memory. Try removing the expansion ram, and then reseating it. Maybe you can get into the bios by starting with the esc key pressed, then f1? Other thoughts - if the machine's had a thicker disk fitted without the disk spacers removed, it could have cracked the main mobo memory :( :( :( Maybe the bios battery? Leave the machine plugged to the mains overnight and then try?

Unless I'm missing something, isn't the obvious solution don't use Outlook? Regardless of Outlook's intrinsic merits or demerits, it's by far the most popular target for viruses of any email program. So why not use something else? The problem isn't that WE are using Outlook. The problem is that whoever is INFECTED is using Outlook and unfortunately has Nick's (or whoever's been spoofed's) email address in THEIR address book. That's the problem with this virus, it pretends to be from other people (in this case it pretends to be from Nick) so the actual infection is a lot harder to trace, especially if the email servers along the way don't mark the email. I could be using the Pine mail client and Nick could be using the Elm mail client (both about as virus proof as you could get as far as this sort of stuff is concerned) but if a salesman who's got both our emails is using Outlook and is infected, Nick could get a flood of Klez virus emails that look like they're from me and vice versa, and if the email servers along the way don't mark the emails, he'd have no way of knowing they were NOT from me (unless of course he knew that the Klez virus actually does this). Agreed - those of us who Mode: Holier than thou *don't* use Internet Exploder and Lookout are pretty confident that we didn't originate this. /Mode :) Though I'm being careful not to point any fingers without evidence (there's certainly no evidence that it's come from Nick), and it's damn hard to find anything that these viruseseses leave behind them, apart from damage...

Okay, I've gone through the archives until my eyes were red and dry. I've managed to get nowhere with this. I've got a Lib 110 with a 12 GB HDD, no CD-ROM drive, and a spare desktop snip nightmare Thanks, CK You don't say what else was on the windows box on which you did the installation - the impression I got from the note was that it was as a secondary disc. In which case, you've possibly stuffed up the partition table/boot sector... Something very odd there - I'd be very inclined to do the installation all on the lib though - I've done it in 32M on 70, though it takes a while: Fdisk as you have done, with 70M either side of cylinder 1024. Format the first partition so it's bootable into dos (e.g. W98 startup disk) and format the second partition as fat16 or 32. Put the drive into your desktop. You don't want to boot from it. Copy the I386 directory from the W2K installation disk to the second partition. Return the disc to the lib, reboot, launch setup.exe or winnt.exe from the I386 files you put on the second partition (it's been a while, can't remember which) and it should all spring to life.

So please can we stop the witch-hunt? This list is, by and large, very computer literate and knows the dangers of opening an attachment called seemygirlfriendshowernekkid.exe from someone. All it takes is someone to think, ah, Neil's a useful chap, I'll add him to my contacts, get something nasty and then for everyone else to wait for the fallout. It ain't pretty. As you say, Nick, it ain't pretty. But there are other issues, which is why I've taken up this here and the other (unrelated) problem with my ISP: o *Someone* on the group, in all likelihood, has the virus. It behooves us to try and draw their attention to it, so that they can do something about it. The difficulty we're having is that people don't seem to have enough info to trace the original sender. I can't trace because hotmail doesn't maintain the header info - perhaps Daniel can unpick the original round of postings? o I'm not convinced that *everyone* on this group is equally computer literate. For example, I'm much more of a hardware and low level type than others, who know pretty much all there is to know about (frex) the various Windows. People join the list for info - this is surely something about which they should be aware, no? o Finally, I want to make sure that *I* don't end up TOSsed as a spammer. The only way to do that is to chase down and document the spam that has my name on it. Agreed, that's more of a problem for my ISP and the easynet account than here, but equally, so many people know and use the nailed barnacle account that I don't want to lose that. It doesn't take many complaints from people who *aren't* aware of the various viruses to lose a service. So, I'd add my voice to Nick's: This is not, should not be, and if I have anything to do with it, will not become a witch hunt. However, I *do* think that we should try and locate where this virus came from, and disinfect it. This is not a question of blame, but of self preservation. If we take the attitude that 'oh, it's just a virus' then the scumbags have won. Not here.

The real issue with CardBus is that the 32-bit bus requires a special CardBus bridge. The Libretto L50 has only a PCMCIA bridge, which only supports the 16-bit cards. If you file down the 3.3V 16-bit cards, they will work in a Libretto 70 (and I'm pretty sure a 50 too). Is that empirically observed, or theory?

I'm not so keen on opening the Libretto unless adequately prepared with knowledge as to putting it back together properly. Perhaps there's a good guide floating around - with pictures? There certainly is. You can download a pdf (2.5MB) from my site at www.nbarnes.easynet.co.uk/libretto/li50_70ct.pdf of the tech manual - complete with nice pictures. However - quick precis: Remove battery and power; remove seven screws from the bottom of the case (don't try and split it yet); turn it over and remove the keyboard trim strip (it lifts at the top right of the keyboard); remove screw at top centre of keyboard (you'll be getting a good collection of screws at this time); remove keyboard (two screws through silver thingy, plus a flat cable connector - carefully push the retaining latch out about 1mm to release the cable); remove retaining screw and memory expansion if fitted; remove silver thingy - two screws over processor heatsink; remove screen connector; and at this stage, if I haven't forgotten anything; you'll be able to split the top and bottom of the case apart. Motherboard remains in bottom half, battery is plugged in left hand side at the main battery end. In the immortal words of the Haynes workshop manuals: reassembly is a reversal of the above procedure... note that most of the screws are the same as each other, but the ones that hold the silver thingy to the heatsink have a wider shank than the others, and the one that holds the memory expansion in has a wider flatter head.

Hi all, Anybody have a solution for connecting a USB hub to a L50? I have found PCMCIA cards with 2 USB connectors, but they are CardBus types unfortunately, and the L50 doesn't support CardBus. Any ideas? I will be holidaying with my L50 in tow and a digital camera, and I was thinking og buying an extra credit card-sized camera for my son, but they seem to only support USB. tia+br Franklin It might be possible but a driver wold have to be written. The 16 bit bus would have to be doubled in software to 32 bits. Its done sometimes with an 8 bit bus to get 16 bits and seems to work on 16 bit cards. Donno if it'll work for cardbus. Depends on if the actual pinout is differant on a cardbus and 16 bit slot. But as far as I know it isn't since the pcmcia revisions have all been in software since about 2.0 The pinouts are not only different, but they're selected by the driver chip depending which system is required. The data/address bus stuff isn't (e.g.) multiplexed onto the same pins, it uses different pins in different positions. Without the hardware, you're stuffed. And, strictly, a Cardbus card shouldn't even *fit* into a PCMCIA 16-bit slot. There main problem with USB cards seems to be that the maximum data rate is too low on the sixteen bit systems. According to the PCMCIA-CS howto, the maximum rate is only about 2-3Mb/s, irrespective of the hardware.

I think that's the maximum rate the processor can get data to the bus. There's no DMA AFAIK, and it's a slow 16-bit bus. It doesn't cause errors on even a 100M network card, it just can't use all the available network bandwidth (though the data it gets is still noticably faster than with a 10M).

The system suddenly losses power, and leaves me with a orange blinking AC power adaptor LED, the far right of the 4 LEDs. Pressing the power button at this point boots the system fine, and then I can shut it down with the battery and AC adaptor LEDs glowing green normally. Doctor, doctor, it hurts when I do this! So, don't do it. Next! :) The only connection between the lid and main body of the system I can think of is the ribbon cable. So I opened up the top of the system, and re-seated the ribbon several times hoping it might clean an oxidized connection. But the problem still persists. That's the only way conection, though there is the microswitch to detect the lid closure. I dont know if this is related, but the lid seems to be separating along the seam on the bottom right side (facing the screen) by the hinge. Hmm - has there been any damage? The ribbon is wrapped a couple of times round the hinge pin to provide room for it to move without stretching as the display moves. Orange blinky power light suggests unhappiness in the battery department. Are you able to try this with another cell? Perhaps the case flexing as you move the lid is causing a problem in the battery unit or in the connector. Or, can you try it without the cell at all, just external power? (Caveat: I believe the book says don't run without the batteries. I have run for short periods without apparent harm without them - your mileage may vary.)

Well as long as the drive is 9.5mm in height it'll physically fit (just make sure you can pretty much drop it into the slot and it'll go in ... you may need to remove some spacers from the bottom of the drive bay as there IS some variability in height even amongst 9.5mm hard drives, some of which are in fact 9.55mm) ... the only other complication you will run into with drives larger than 8.4GB is that the Libretto's BIOS only sees 8.4GB so you'll need a BIOS drive overlay so that the Libretto can see the rest of the drive ... look in the archives for David's link to EZ-Drive (in case you've not already got it) as well as for numerous discussions on the topic!

Yes - you'll need to set the CDROM on the 70 as a shared drive, and set up all the samba stuff on the 50.

I bought a bargain 70CT with a knackered screen (ta Trevor) with the intention of fitting the mobo in my 50's case and getting the benefits of a charger that charges whilst the machine is on, plus the speed increase. I've just tried everything, and it works - ish. When I plug the 50's screen into the 70, text mode is fine but when 640x480 vga kicks in then there's ghosting on the screen and the colours aren't all displaying properly. It's as if it's running in 12 bit mode or something... I've checked the BIOS and tried the different colour depth settings to no avail.

I can think of many songs that'll have one or more of those keywords in them. Hmm... that hadn't occurred to me. But I was always under the impression that each person had to train voice recognition software to recognize his/her particular voice. I would think that it would be extremely difficult for software to pick out particular words in the sound of music being played. The problem is more likely to be that it can't separate you out from the music it's playing. Hence clever filters that listen to the music and to you and make sure there's as little of the music on your signal as possible. Tricky, but doable, but computationally expensive unless you happen to have a handy DSP. That said, I'm amazed what voice recognition is cabable of on the phone these days.

The worst effect of loosing cookies will be that web sites remembering you login and preferences will forget them until you login manually next time. I had the Blue screen because Windows page file was damaged by hibernation. Deleting cookies will not save any significant amount of space anyway. My point is not that the cookies and temp files are required, but that you'll get a blue screen if you destroy the files system on which they are stored. If the FAT points to something that isn't there, it will read garbage back to the program - if it can parse it at all, it won't be happy with what it parses. If it can't it will probably crash - people don't seem to test things by throwing random numbers at them anymore :) If the fat is damaged, then it will in all likelyhood bluescreen when the file access occurs as the pointers will be all over the place. _ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

This can be show in Why would you say that? The specs clearly show the 50 to have a Pentium-75 and the 70 is, guessing here, a P-120??? The L30 and L-20 were 486-class They have pentium processors but the internal connections look back rather than forwards - for example the video chip is connected on a vesa local bus, rather than a PCI bus. _ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

Is this true? The 50 has a cpu speed of 75mHz but the 70 has a cpu speed of 120Mhz but I'm not sure what speed the memory interface runs at. Were all the memory expansions (both tosh and other suppliers) rated for both the 70 and the 50 models. One size fits all - even when it's clocked. My 70 runs at 150MHz. _ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.
