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?

yes, if linux is installed properly (without a drive translator) it will
see the drive directly. 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?

So is there any way to make a drive larger than 128GB work in the older
Librettos? Or do I need to start saving for a U model?
