Subject: LibSS1000 (Portege 30xx) IDE bus maste drive for Win2K
Hi!
I have successfully installed 30 GB 7.0 mm heigh 1.8"
Hitachi (C4K60) hard disk in my Libretto. Believe it or
not, it's virtually silent (apart from heads
parking/unparking, of course).
Inslalled Windows 2000. It works fine, however I cannot
find the IDE driver. Win2K built-in driver is Standard
IDE/ESDI controller, and it works only in PIO mode. So the
drive works at ridiculous ~3 MB/s, even my old 2 GB drive
was twice as fast (under Win95). I didn't expect it to be
a problem as drivers for widely-supported Portege
3010/3015/3020 can be used for SS-series Libretto. Still I
don't see the driver listed on any Toshiba site. I didn't
install all Toshiba utilities yet, but they seem to be
unrelated to IDE.
I think I am not doing anything wrong as here:
http://trashbox.homeip.net/nownow/20050317/
it says something like "Win2K IDE driver for Dynabook
3000 (Japanese name for Portege 3000) is OK and supports
UDMA33, you can get the driver from the one who has
Dynabook"
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Vitaly
