I'm not that familiar with Most of the recent CD players have had their MAX output levels cut way down due to the possibility of hearing damage and resulting law suits. This is why the earlier Sony Discmans could really pump out LOUD music, then the later ones threw in auto-level switches, then the recent CD players simply can't even make a room shake (or make a headphone be heard from dozens of feet away anymore). > The only way I can reach a maximum recording level of > �7.5db to -7db is via headphone-out. as noted earlier, any headphone out level requires, usually, an amp to boost it up to line level. > > Sadly, no English drivers at all, so better be ready > > for a 100% Japanese Libretto. > > Heh... guess that popped my balloon.

The ff1100v has been selling on Yahoo Auction Japan for <$250 recently, so as long as I can find a used computer store that still has them, they should go dirt-cheap. I was thinking of perhaps buying up a mid-line to replace the Libretto as well, like the Sony TR series, the Fujitsu T70 series, etc, but don't know about that yet -- if I was gonna bump the size way up so that it wasn't a small hardback book in size, why not go all the way and get a 'real' fuller sized notebook? Sure aren't gonna fit into a large pocket anyways... But we'll see -- I think Akihabara may either be a total disappointment in that everything's more expensive than ordering through www.conics.net through Yahoo Auctions Japan, or I'll find myself spending days figuring out which bargains to drag home =) As I recall there was a web page that had some instructions for installing English OS with the Japanese drivers, and the camera simply didn't work then but everything else did on the ff1100v. So you could get it to run, but not all of the features would work.... ===== adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
