I'm thinking of buying a Libretto L-series sometime soon, as my L100 is just not up to some of the tasks it will be needed for in the future (at least that's the story I'm going with ;^ ). Specifically, as a GPS server running the newer mapping/routing software. Fugawi has a game-like interface now for their new US routing software that really requires processing power beyond the L100. So, looking at the L-series... The L-5 has the fastest Crusoe processor of the bunch (800 MHz), accepts 512MB RAM, and generally seems to be the superior beast. However, it uses a Toshiba-designed hard drive (2.5", 9.5mm) with 3.3V logic (or, in the model with wireless networking, the Toshiba 1.8" HDD.) Frankly, I don't even know what 3.3V logic is. In my searching, there has been mention of a means to use a standard 2.5", 9.5mm HDD with 5V logic with a hack of some sort. Do any of you know what that 3.3V/5.0V modification involves? The L5's capabilities make it preferable to the lesser models, but I'd sure like to be able to stuff in a standard drive at some point. Lee
