Now all you need is to figure out what kind of USB device you can use to plug into it! I kinda wondered what people are doing with the USB. I tell you, I don't know how many hours I blew the other day struggling to install an old copy of W95 the other day. After many many hours of attempts getting a SUWIN error starting installation.... after hours and hours of Scandisk running from DOS (anyone know a command line switch to get around that?), and years and years waiting for 2 FDs worth of Partition Magic to run on that tortoise of FDD Toshiba gave us... I finally found out I needed to setup extended memory with himem.sys and emm386.exe in order to get ANY Windows OS installed! I don't remember having to do that before. But then my memory is failing faster and faster... But I was wondering if the L100 or L110 Libs are faster at this sort of thing. What kind of FDDs do they have... They're not USB FDDs, are they?
