I do not run linux, I run Windows 98SE as it is required for compatibility by my profession. So, will a Libretto 100/110CT running Windows 98SE be able to see all of a hard drive larger than 128GB? I am almost certain I understood the 128GB limitation to be hardware, not software, so in that case the operating system, linux as well as Windows, would be secondary as far as translation. I also realize that if the hardware of the day didn't support such drive sizes, it is likely the software addressing and interpretation would also not have been present in the OS's of that time period. I realize also that some people have Windows 2000 working on older Librettos and of course many Librettos shipped with NT, but I don't believe these OS's look at drives the same as the older Windows versions. Anyone care to expand on this?

If it doesn't work because the drive is too big you can modify the source for the operating system so it'll work. On another note, I've found software for all the hardware of the U100 (including the software modem--still trying to get it to work as a dsl modem by the way--no success yet--heh..just read what I wrote, software for a software modem--talk about SLOW!!) EXCEPT the fingerprint sensor. Has anyone had success in finding, or has anyone written anything for it that will let it work in the shell, or is the software for it ALREADY in the kerenl?
