Thanks for the information David. That link on your site should end with .shtml http://www.toshiba.com/taecdpd/news/press39.shtml See also: http://www.toshiba.com/taecdpd/techdocs/MK5002mpl/5002mplindex.shtml I just listed the 2GB version on eBay. http://www.ebaystores.com/01japanexpressmobilecomputers/plistings/list/all/dept3/index.html What are the prices of the 2GB model now? Dynamism sells them for $500. Can any Libretto boot from any of them? I have seen some solid state IDE drives, not adapters but drives, that would fit nicely into any Libretto. Those I saw were 128MB. I thought hard how that could be useful. If I had two IDE drives in a notebook I would like to replace one with a solid state drive. But replacing the only large disk with a small solid state drive? How would you use this?

Replacing the HD with a flash memory HD = less power consumption, better shock resistance, and just that coolness of not hearing any HD spinning inside the Libretto. No more HD head crashes either. Wondering if anyone out there has already modified their Libretto so? ===== adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ ************************************************************** 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... **************************************************************
