[LIB] Proxim RangeLAN-DS wireless NIC on a Lib70(Win98)?
Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2002 17:30:10 -0700 (PDT) From: steve steve <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Proxim RangeLAN-DS wireless NIC on a Lib70(Win98)? Hi everyone, I have tried to install a Proxim RangeLAN-DS wireless NIC on my Lib70. I read someones note about the PCMCIA sockets on the Libs supporting 3.3V and 5V. How does this work in Win98? Will it automatically feed a 3.3V card the correct voltage. I found the following note at the Proxim web site. Is this relevant? Have I just fried the card? ##___## Proxim Tech Note RangeLAN-DS 8433 PC Card: Installation Problem on Windows 2000 Toshiba Laptops Products Affected: Harmony 802.11b PC Card and RangeLAN-DS PC Card Symptom: The card does not install properly in a Toshiba laptop running Windows 2000. Problem: The Toshiba PC Card controller (ToPIC) may power 3.3-volt cards at 5 volts. Solution: Install the fix that Microsoft has made available on its Web site at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q265296. After you install the fix, try to reinstall the card. The Toshiba PC Card controller may have damaged the card. If you cannot install the card after applying the fix, fill out an RMA request form at http://www.proxim.com/support/forms/rmareg.html to return the card for repair. ##___## Note I am running Window 98 not 2000 as above. Any suggestions gratefully received. Cheers, Steve (who is proud to say he received his PhD at the weekend and it was written on the Lib70!) __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[LIB] Re: [lib] potential replacement - JVC!
Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2002 11:17:59 -0700 From: Chester Prudhomme <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [lib] potential replacement - JVC! I've been following this Libretto replacement thread with interest. I had occasion to make a trip to Japan recently and got a chance to look at (and try out) all of the recent small laptops. Being a gearhead I'm always on the lookout for the new big thing(!) but I am also in my curmudgeonly way of the mind that if it ain't a lot better, why bother? So, my report is - none of the new notebooks have much over the L110. One is a smidge lighter, one is a smidge smaller, etc. They do have bigger HD's and more RAM but I run my L110 with Win2K and the standard memory and hard drive and even though I use it just like a desktop (word processing, internet surfing, email, etc.) I don't find that I am ever lacking resources. Along with a modem card, a very light CD-RW and a lightweight external hard drive one can cover just about anything that the new cuties can (and they need the externals as well anyway), so why spend the $ to essentially stay in place? I dunno, what do you all think? I recently found a very helpful site for checking out the reps of the multitude of online computer/peripherals sellers..http://www.resellerratings.com/ They list 450+ some such sellers with user remarks and a handy scoring system.

[LIB] [lib] AR Film again

OK, I didn't realise that I'd peeled off the protective label from the front and was trying to stick a non-sticky thing to a non-sticky thing with no success at all, did I? I was getting concerned it looked a little scratched... D'Oh! I am going to sit in a corner now.

Hi everyone, The JVC certainly is a fast machine, you can feel that Pentium III power. Incidentally, I'm not sure if the homepage is clear (mine and JVC's) but all batteries can be removed, so if you ever need to replace the tiny base battery - you can. The keyboard is just a tad smaller than the Libretto. The screen is too, but it's best to check the pictures. http://shop.conics.net/laptop/vs/ You make them sound like Goldy Locks & The Three Bears :-) -Brett "Lines, Nick" wrote: > Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2002 04:49:02 -0400 > From: "Lines, Nick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [lib] potential replacement - JVC! > > David wrote: > > Didn't I see it already on www.dynamism.com site ealier?

The battery system intrigues me. The choice of minimum size or maximum battery life seems like a really good idea. BTW Brett, just checked your site and the pictures of the U1 vs L5 and the MPXP are suberb. That Sony is *small!*, the MPXP seems about right and the L5 looks decidedly big! Eek!
