Hi, Can you make a picture of the module on both sites? I used my scanner to get the pictures you see on the web site. Basically the work to do remains the same. The PA2067U module if it is compatible for the SS1000 and/or the protégé Toshiba's should have the RAS pin connected to a NC pin on the Libretto connector. In the PA2067A module after in spection it appeared that the second RAS pin was connected on the libretto on pin 69 while the memory module had it connected to pin 70 on the module. If the PA2067A and PA2067U module are electically compatible you need to connect pin 69 to pin 70 with an even smaller wire or a dot of solder to short circuit the two pins. Note that pin 70 is NC on the libretto. My quess is that pin 70 on your memory module is connected to one of the RAS lines on the EDODRAM chips. If the chips used are pin compatible with the chip mentioned on my web site it is pin 14. If you want send me high res pictures to avi dot cohenstuart at infor dot com and I'll try to figure it out for you. I need both sites of the module scanned in.

Hi Nick, Avi, Meir, Fran, David and..., Glad to hear from everyone, and it's good to know the list is still healthy David, I like your idea about converting the list to sub 3-lb notebooks, because, well, I've got an admission... I've mostly switched over to using this: http://www.i4u.com/article2213.html Same machine Philip has, so there are 2 of us. As much as I like the Libretto (mine's an L100/64MB/40GB with possibly every Toshiba accessory available), the JVC (really an Asus S2Ne incognito) is sweet. Very fast - even with only 512MB RAM (maxes at 2GB with some adventurous disassembly and $). As portable - maybe more so - than the Libretto, very nicely made, runs XP Pro with complete stability. FYI, I also have a 10-screened Fujitsu B-series, and by comparison the JVC seems the perfect size. Plus built in wifi-G, network and modem, USB2 x 2, PCMCIA, gorgeous screen. Though I could us the cash, I haven't been able to sell the Libretto. It runs W2K SP4 pretty nicely, and I've put so much time into it. But it's superfluous now Anyway, glad to be receiving list email again.

Good to know you didn't fall off the edge of the world down there in Ozzyland. The list sure has been dead. But I guess everyone still onboard has either played out any issues long ago, or like me, is just curious what might be popping up. And the Kohjinshas look to me the best replacements for our old Libbys than anything I've ever seen. An old Lib sized notebook with a DVD drive, a relatively fast CPU, reasonable memory, et al, looks great. I've got the eee 900, very nice little machine and the 20GB model (4GB inbuilt SSD on the motherboard + 16GB plug-in installed) was less than $500AUD with Xandros Linux (which quickly got the boot in favor of Kubuntu) ... I read where Asus has a 900 series model coming out with essentially all the same components as this, but with the Intel Atom 1.3MHz CPU. I see Amazon is now selling your model for $439.63USD after a $100 rebate. http://www.amazon.com/Eee-PC-900-Display-Battery/dp/B00191PKJK the SSD is nice in that you don't need to worry about thumping it around although it is a bit creepy in that you can't hear or feel the hard drive going ... This is the future. No mechanical drives to freeze up from dropping the notebook. Quiet for me is fantastic, esp for listening to music through external speakers. true it isn't going to store all your multimedia files but I have a Hyperdrive Colorspace O for that :-D http://www.hyperdrive.com/HyperDrive-COLORSPACE-O-Casing-Only-p/hdcso-000.htm Slick! The Kohjinsha UMPCs are looking very tempting though and are going back to Libretto-like in size (especially the models without inbuilt optical drives) ... and amazingly they also pack a 1.3GHz Atom, 2GB of RAM, proper hard drive (could be good or bad), flip/swivel touchscreen, webcam, a couple of USB ports, 3-in-1 cardreader, ExpressCard slot, GPS and TV tuner! O_o Goodness knows how they manage to fit all that in ... Okay... I'm hooked Raymond. I've done some reading. There are a number of models. And it's frustrating that there are new models being sold online that aren't even listed on the Kohjinsha website. Here's Conics offering: http://www.conics.net/catalog/index.php?currency=USD They list SR, SC and SX lines there. But if you click the specs dropdown on the Kohjinsha website, they only list SR, but then SH and SA lines. http://www.kohjinsha.com.sg/ Also: * The TV tuner is useless, as it only works in Japan * The GPS is only available on specific models. * There seems to be no model with both GPS and a DVD drive (space?) The R8KPO6A on Conics is listed as measuring 233 x 177 x 33mm even WITH the DVD drive. That's amazing to me. The 110s are 210 X 132 X 35mm. http://conics.net/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=229 But the SR8KPO6A only has a 800MHz Intel A110 processor. However the SX3WP06MA at Conics has that Intel Atom 1.3MHz CPU you mentioned Raymond.: http://conics.net/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=298 Now of course I'm immediately thinking, are they working on a SR8KPO6A 233 x 177 x 33mm sized model with the Intel Atom 1.3MHz CPU? Somewhere along the way I found this EBay Kohjinsha auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/Kohjinsha-SX-SX3KP06MA-BLACK-ATOM-UMPC-built-in-DVD-RW_W0QQitemZ230282949939QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item230282949939_trkparms=72%3A552%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Also in the Ebay store here: http://stores.ebay.com/KabaTek-Online That auction shows a Kohjinsha SX3 model SX3KP06MA with the Atom 1.3MHz that from the pictures looks identical in size to the SR8KPO6A over at Conics. But something's wrong there. The specs on the EBay auction lists the dimensions for the SX3KP06MA as 189mm (W) x 155mm (D) x 25.4~33mm (H). That can't be. I've seen this on EBay before where a seller will use the same picture when selling 2-3 different products in then same basic line, say SX here, but that are different specific models. Like the SX3KP06MA in that auction, and the SX3WP06MA from Conics... the difference between the two being the 4th character where the W and K are transposed. I've written the seller about the discrepancy, and I'm guessing the SX3KP06MA in that auction is going to end up having the same dimensions as the SX3WP06MA on the Conics site. I hope I’m wrong though! I’m still at a loss for an explanation for why Kohjinsha has newer models being sold online than they list on their website. And why there’s no mention of the SC and SX model lines there, not even in the support menus. Guess that begs the questions, how reliable are these computers, and how good is Kohjinsha

I'm away until X-mas but otherwise I fire it up every few months, sometimes together with an old DEC 450SLC-e (with a 50 Mhz 486 DX2!) which dates back from 1994 I think. It's that I've got a JVC 741 subnotebook that serves as my daily work horse, otherwise I might still use my 110 daily. I only use it sometimes for things in my LAN (like testing communication between various operating systems). From Xin's list I learn that there are still people using the 110, but more for hobby (trying to stretch its specs or to cramp in Win-XP or the likes) than production (whatever that may mean). The archives has our two posts Philip. And our posts came through pretty quickly. I was surprised, as I thought Dan's list server was probably clogged up with spam again. So the at least the gears seem not too rusty. The spammers probably found out that traffic is too low to benefit from even the microseconds they need to send their junk.

So much so that I'm considering the OQO e2 when it comes into an affordable price bracket! I keep hanging my nose over the Flipstart - particularly at the new price - however I'd really like to see one in the flesh before committing. The real advantage of the flipstart is the screen resolution: 1024x600 seems a lot better than the oqo's 800x480... The sony UX range interests me for just that reason too, however the form factor is a bit chunky compared to the oqo. The U100 is now about 3 weeks old and I'm just about getting used to the keyboard. It takes a few minutes to acclimatise after using another full size keyboard, but on the other hand it is usable despite my earlier protestations that it wasn't ;-) I'm still surprised/annoyed that the keyboard on a Sigmarion 3 is quite a bit better than the libby's! I've managed to find a UK supplier of the mini-RGB cables who is selling them for just over 3 pounds ($6 or so), so I've bought 3. One for the office, one for home and one for travelling :) The U100 is powerful enough to be my primary laptop on the move, but I would like to upgrade the disk. Finding a 1.8 drive seems nigh on impossible, so it looks like I'm stuck. I guess I could buy a 160GB ipod, but that seems like overkill to get the drive :-) Cheers, Nick.

So much so that I'm considering the OQO e2 when it comes into an affordable price bracket! I keep hanging my nose over the Flipstart - particularly at the new price - however I'd really like to see one in the flesh before committing. The real advantage of the flipstart is the screen resolution: 1024x600 seems a lot better than the oqo's 800x480... The sony UX range interests me for just that reason too, however the form factor is a bit chunky compared to the oqo. The U100 is now about 3 weeks old and I'm just about getting used to the keyboard. It takes a few minutes to acclimatise after using another full size keyboard, but on the other hand it is usable despite my earlier protestations that it wasn't ;-) I'm still surprised/annoyed that the keyboard on a Sigmarion 3 is quite a bit better than the libby's! I've managed to find a UK supplier of the mini-RGB cables who is selling them for just over 3 pounds ($6 or so), so I've bought 3. One for the office, one for home and one for travelling :) The U100 is powerful enough to be my primary laptop on the move, but I would like to upgrade the disk.

Despite me deciding I didn't want one a couple of years ago, then deciding I did, then I didn't because I *really* couldn't get on with that keyboard, I bought it. First thoughts? Wow. Even my wife said wow and couldn't believe how crisp the screen is. Second thoughts? Oh gosh, the keyboard is atrocious. I pride myself on being able to type on most things with practice, from Psion 3 series upwards, but this... Sheesh. My only suggestion so far is to either take a pencil sharpener to my fingers, or sellotape pencils to them... The mouse pointer is slowly being tamed, and I'm sure I will get used to the keyboard.

Any tricks or tips for getting the best out of the thing, such as optimising the graphics system? I had a spare PC2700 1GB SODIMM that is now in the u100, so it wouldn't hurt to give the graphics system the full 64MB all the time. The 50, 70 and 100ct (overclocked) are still going strong! :-) . I had a sony PCG-U3 for a while which should have been perfect but unfortunately the transmeta processor in it just didn't seem any great step up from a 266MHz 100CT ;-) . Well, ok, it was a step up, but not enough... Cheers, Nick.

RE: [LIB] videos on 110CT
Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2007 09:33:28 +0100 From: Avi Cohen Stuart [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [LIB] videos on 110CT John, It is a bit more complex :-) There are a few parts that need to work together. - First there is a kernel driver for the margi which is a module that relies on the dvb framework. This is also with the original margi driver found at linuxtv.org. I adapted that driver first to work again on 2.4 and later on 2.6 with the help of someone else. The current version that I have works with 2.6.21.5 on a gentoo installed libretto. - The second part is the in the PCMCIA driver. In order to enable the ZV to work, a small adaption in the topic driver is needed (actually delete a few lines) - The third part is the enabling of the ZV port in the opl3sa2 driver. Also add one line there. - The fourth part which took considerably a lot work is to get the ZV to work on the Neomagic. I based my work on what Shigehiro Nomura did to get Xv working on the Neomagic. The Xv(3) library allows to work with overlays. I did a lot of reverse engineering using IDA Pro on the windows neo20xx.dll which does handle the Overlay stuff for Direct X. And I adapted the Neomagic X server driver. - The fifth part is the program which connects all this stuff together. Also based on previous work I changed the program which uses libdvdread, libdvdcss and libdvdnav to handle the dvd stuff, including navigation. Somewhere in the code it does of course a write() call to the driver which sends the dvd stream thru dvb to the margi driver which sends it into the hardware and sends the frames + sound via the ZV bus (without CPU intervention) into the Neomagic and the Yahama 715 chips. And it almost works like a charm! And the last 5 years I had a lot of fun with understanding how the DVD works, learned how to use IDA Pro (www.datarescue.com), learned how to kernel debug under windows with windbg, asked and got the sources for the Margi DVD-to-Go WDM (and MCI) driver and DVDPlay program which helped a lot btw, learned a great deal (again) about linux 2.4 and 2.6 device driver writing and how to use kgdb to debug the linux kernel using a Vmware system as my debugging host and the libretto as a target, bored my collegues endlessly about the above...

Sometimes I got three of four of those running simultaneously. As these virtual guest operatings systems take their share of RAM from the host's RAM, a lot of RAM is needed. That is alto of ram. dosemu uses 20MB usually on mine when I run dos p-rograms. I don't have wine up and running yet. I use it for shielding my employers remote call-in stuff from my own PC (because otherwise the remote stuff takes over the entire desktop), for trying out network stuff, testing of new Linux distros, you name it.

I'd pick one up if I only needed a basic Linux box, but w/o full Vista/XP support, it's hard to add things like printers, drivers, etc. for other devices. They're in the works for the Vista version I hear. That said, what do you do if you're just a beginner with Linux and trying to hook up one of those latest all-in-one printers from Canon or Epson?!? I'm sure this point will drive many early adopters nuts =P In any case, on the flip side, there's the main laptop competitor - the Nokia N95 and other PDA phones. These phones are getting so powerful, they can handle the basics of web surfing, office document editing, emailing through POP/IMAP, web browsing over cellular and WiFi, and taking TV quality movies and high-res photos ... along with the usual MP3/MP4 playback. At some point, these phone manufacturers will have to talk with the laptop makers and come up with something 1lbs and portable. eeePC is nice, but still 2lbs (you'd think after 10+ years after the Libretto, we'd be down to 1/2lbs mini-notebooks by now...). Something I'm saving up for right now N95 8GB =) Anyways, the Fujitsu mini-notebook with swivel screen and touch-screen input is my alternative vs. the eeePC. That one's going for $999 but it does run Vista, and the touch-screen does make for a nice tablet entry portable ebook reader. The eeePC in comparison is kinda of funny - with Black Friday 2006 Toshiba notebooks selling for $199 at Microcenter (and sure to be repeated this year), why would I want to spend $199 on a 2lbs mini that can't store much on the 4GB flash HD?

I ordered mine on Saturday and I think this happened earlier. As far as XP goes, you can install it. The eeePc comes with the XP drivers, you just have to supply your own disk and license. Many people are using the smaller distributions, like TinyXP and having successes. As far as the memory, there is an SDHC slot on the machine so you can upgrade to 16GB alhtough I've only heard of 8gb being used so far. Some people report being able to boot from the SDHC, although there are apparently a lot of tricks involved. I really like my libretto, but I don't use it much because it is just too difficult to type for long periods of time. I'm hoping that the eeepc will be an improvement in that respect.

Well Avi... I've got good news and bad news. The good news (for me) is that after 3 days of playing 3 ~2 hour DVD images in W2K, I didn't get a single BSOD. The bad news (for you) is I didn't come up with any data that might help diagnose your setup. I did experience a couple of problems, but I wasn't able to determine the causes. Day 1: Played a 2 episode DVD. Each episode ~2 hours. 1st episode played through and returned to the title menu unattended. The 2nd episode was playing for more than an hour, but at some point before I checked in the next couple of hours, the system had rebooted for some reason. But that's happened from time to time with the L110 just playing MP3s in W2K through my Echo Indigo. Maybe heat. It just shut down today because of heat. Day 2: Played the same DVD. 1/2 way through the 1st episode 1st episode I pulled the power cord and brought the L110 with me on a drive. That episode ended on the drive, and I started episode 2. Somewhere along the way the system shut down when the battery got low. Day 3: Everything went flawlessly. I played 2 different ~2 hour DVD images, one of them twice making about 6 hours of flawless playback. They were concert videos, and I actually paused playback several times. Now I didn't do any fast forwarding/reversing, navigating chapter and extra menus. It seems that's where I've run into playback problems in the past. But the only BSOD I've seen since you told me to set the screen resolution to 16 bit was when after doing that, I reinstalled and ran Margi. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several more times since then, and everything has been working darned well. I was having a problem with my mouse, which was why I tried uninstalling Margi. But I'm sure the mouse problem was unrelated. My case is broken at the right hinge, and I think the ribbon cable is the source of the mouse problem, as I wiggled things and the problem went away.

Well Avi... I've got good news and bad news. The good news (for me) is that after 3 days of playing 3 ~2 hour DVD images in W2K, I didn't get a single BSOD. The bad news (for you) is I didn't come up with any data that might help diagnose your setup. I did experience a couple of problems, but I wasn't able to determine the causes. Day 1: Played a 2 episode DVD. Each episode ~2 hours. 1st episode played through and returned to the title menu unattended. The 2nd episode was playing for more than an hour, but at some point before I checked in the next couple of hours, the system had rebooted for some reason. But that's happened from time to time with the L110 just playing MP3s in W2K through my Echo Indigo. Maybe heat. It just shut down today because of heat. Day 2: Played the same DVD. 1/2 way through the 1st episode 1st episode I pulled the power cord and brought the L110 with me on a drive. That episode ended on the drive, and I started episode 2. Somewhere along the way the system shut down when the battery got low. Day 3: Everything went flawlessly. I played 2 different ~2 hour DVD images, one of them twice making about 6 hours of flawless playback. They were concert videos, and I actually paused playback several times. Now I didn't do any fast forwarding/reversing, navigating chapter and extra menus. It seems that's where I've run into playback problems in the past. But the only BSOD I've seen since you told me to set the screen resolution to 16 bit was when after doing that, I reinstalled and ran Margi. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several more times since then, and everything has been working darned well. I was having a problem with my mouse, which was why I tried uninstalling Margi. But I'm sure the mouse problem was unrelated. My case is broken at the right hinge, and I think the ribbon cable is the source of the mouse problem, as I wiggled things and the problem went away. I'm also pretty sure that the colored vertical lines on the edge of the screen that Librettos are famous for are due to faulty connections through that ribbon cable.

Things like VirtualPC, VMWare, VirtualBox, SVista, QEmu, Bochs, . where you can run -say- Windows 2000 inside another operating system. Sometimes I got three of four of those running simultaneously. As these virtual guest operatings systems take their share of RAM from the host's RAM, a lot of RAM is needed. I use it for shielding my employers remote call-in stuff from my own PC (because otherwise the remote stuff takes over the entire desktop), for trying out network stuff, testing of new Linux distros, you name it. As far as the 2.6 kernels are concerned: I suppose you refer to Xen, indeed some kind of virtualisation. See http://www.xen.org/ Philip

The extreme III and IV are opproximatly twice and three times as fast as the II so if I would get another increase if I upgraded to one of those. I am getting 4 MB as opposed to 1.5 to 2 with the hard drive. I should expect 6 and 8MB with the extreme III and IV. I am also using a second flash card for a virtual memory drive but it is an old one so only gives hard drive speeds. If I updated that with a newer one I would think the increase in speed be noticalbe in swap file use. I notice a real reduction in temperature also using a solid state drive. My libretto was always having to slow down to cool off but it is very cool now when it runs. john __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [LIB] speed gain using flash card
Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2007 06:32:18 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] speed gain using flash card I was wondering how any of this applied to earlier Librettos. I have a 70ct, and have finally been able to get DOS to recognize the L's PCMCIA slot (no matter what card services I used, all failed until I found Phoenix Card Manager 3.2, which will recognize even today's CF card.) I run Windows 95B on the 70ct on its standard 1.6gb drive and find it loads fast and stays stable. Is it worth it to try and go solid-state with one of the cards John is recommending? Or is this procedure for the big boy Librettos, not their dumb kid brothers :) ? Jake ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
