I don't know if anyone else saw this link from Vitaly, http://chiba3.dip.jp/notepc/ss1000.html But if you look at it you will see instructions for adding a USB port to the Libretto ff1100V computer. Looking very carefully at it and comparing the signals on the Port Replicator connector on the Lib L100 /L110 CT Notebooks, it would appear you could do the same thing to these. From the Libretto manual, page 211, Table C-2 Docking Interface connector pin assignments (140-pin)(3/3), pin 93 is "USBDP", or USB Data positive; and pin 94 is "USBDN", or USB Data Negative. By finding a suitable +5V and Gnd point, these are the 4 signals needed for the USB port. To make it look good, I think replacing the IR port with a USB connector would make sense. I just bought a USB to IR adapter from Tiger Direct (free after rebate) and tried it on my desktop with great success. Using this adapter, you don't even lose the IR port after converting the Libby's IR port to a USB port. Problem is, I don't have good enough tools to make the solder connections to try this on the bench to see if it works. Anyone have the ability to see if this would work?

Finally got my hard disk (from UK). Never disassembled my Lib before, want to be prepared. The upgrade process is rather well "documented": http://chiba3.dip.jp/notepc/ss1000.html http://trashbox.homeip.net/nownow/20050317/ I tried babelfish.altavista.com, works OK with the first one, returns an error with the second one. 2 main questions: I don't want to overclock the CPU or add USB port, do I still need to disassemble completely, or just to remove the case bottom would be enough? What do I do about the extra 0.65 mm, remove some spacers? Any advices? Thanks in advance! Best wishes, Vitaly
