Hi Ray, >Nope, just lift it carefully. Those 2 tabs are spring loaded. Ok. I thought so, but I just wanted to make sure. >The PCMCIA slots on the laptop are NOT cardbus. Easy way to tell ... >if the top of the connector end has a gold colored >strip with a row of 8 'bumps' on it, it's Cardbus. Also, if you look at the >connector end, both Cardbus and 16 bit cards have 2 ledges on the left and >1 on the right however the height of the right hand ledge on a 16 bit card >is the same width as that on the left whilst on Cardbus its twice as high. >Thats why you can't fit a Cardbus card into a 16 bit slot. For instance: >16 bit: > _________ _____ >|__ o o / / o o | > __| o o / / o o |__ >|________/ /________| <--- Same height on both sides. > >Cardbus: > _____.___ __.__ <--- Bumps on the top of the connector. >|__ o o / / o o |__ > __| o o / / o o | >|________/ /________| <--- Double height on the right. Actually, Ray, I don't think all of that is true. I have two pcmcia modems. The first one is an Action Tec model, fairly new, CardBus Compat. There are no bumps on the top of this card. The second one is a psion gold card, quite a bit older, non-cardbus. The conector on this one is EXACTLY the same as the one on my cardbus model. There is no difference in the connectors. Both will fit in the libretto slot. Anyway, The Psion one works great in this Libretto!!! I am using it to send you this message. I do find typing hard to do on the libretto keyboard; I hope I can get used to it in time. >3. How do I adjust the screen brightness? >The only screen brightness adjustments are through software (the 'hairy >lightbulb' that appears when you install the Toshiba power management tools >for instance). See the archives for other discussions about alternative >programs (eg. under Linux). Ok. I found that, thanks. Thanks for all of the help!
