As a 110 owner I would take at least 2 if it would work on the 110.

Subject: y-adapter for ct50
Hi everyone,
Last year, I was grateful to the list for providing me useful information
on how to hookup my libretto to an external battery source. Every now and
then, I would connect it to a lantern battery (which would last at least 6
hours) or to a car battery (which would last the whole day).
The most difficult was building the y-adapter. Got into all kind of
problems sourcing the parts ('specially the crown plug). After so many
trials and improvements, finally was able to fabricate one that is decent
looking. For a picture, refer to:
http://home.mindgate.net/pcpc/adapter.gif
If I can get at least 5 others who may be interested, I can build some for
the list members. I only ask for US$10, excluding packaging and shipping
for each cable for my time and material spent. No money to be made here,
hence I cannot guarantee anything. Also, I've tried it only for the CT50
(which I own one). Not sure which other models it would work on.
Interested parties may email me a copy directly since I sometimes do lag
behind in reading the list digests.
In case, anyone wants to know the details on how I made it. I had a mould
made for the casting. I used polymer resin plastic for the casting
material. The big plug is standard in any electronic store. The weird
sized crown plug was the pain in the ass! I had to buy the nearest size,
drill out the thing in the middle and solder a machined replacement that
did fit into the Libretto. Probaby soldering the parts together was the
easiest and fastest thing in the process. Casting the case is the part
that takes forever to do. It takes 1 whole day to cast 1 piece and the
sanding/polishing to make the case presentable. Hope interested people
would understand the cost.
Oh ... almost forgot ... one more catch. I live in the Philippines which
makes it costly to send out. I would need someone in the US who could
volunteer to send it out and hold (or collect) the payments for me. That
way, I can mail it all out to just one address (saves air freight) or if
everyone can wait, I can hand carry them on my way to the US sometime
later
this year.
regards ... Oliver

I am reloading and it has been almost 30min so far and its only 62% complete. It does not even appear to be hitting the harddrive much. Try running it under DOS. Lots of other programs can interfere under Window sand slow it down, esp. virus checkers, etc. Also, it it possible to search this mailing list archives? I looked, but it seems that it is only available in .htm. See my site for links to the three locations where the archives are being hosted. The primary is searchable, and the largest because it goes all the way back to 1997 (the earliest my TAR-ball of the mailing list archives I dsent to the guy to hst them contained). The archives are also on the Libretto Information CD so you can search them using your favorite search program. Is there a standard driver package or good instructions on loading 98SE to get the most out of the libby 100 and power management? Just install Win98SE, adjust Control Panel Power icons as appropriate (eg. shut off HD after xx minutes), and install and run AMN Refridgerator (link on my site) to halt the CPU when idle. The latter alone can give you ~30 minutes more run time vs. w/o. (not needed with Win2K or Linux as its built-in.) d =) = adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __ Do You Yahoo!?
