For those new to the list, there is a searchable archives that Mike Kopplin 
maintains at: http://www.technoir.nu/libretto/list/

Wish we could convince Dan to include a link to it in the taglines (though 
there may be a few other changes a few of us would like to see down there).

Yes. between the 50 and the 70 *everything* is swappable except the mobo 
(see caveats) and keyboard.

Caveats:

o if you put a 70 mobo in a 50 case, you need to do a little filing on the 
case - the connector for the port replicators is slightly different.

o if you put disks wider than 8.5mm in a 50 case, you need to remove the 
transparent and white spacers from the case back.

o The keyboard connectors are different, so you can't swap them.

o There are instances where software which works on the 50 won't work on the 
70. We haven't been able to prove it, but it may be that the MMS intructions 
on the 70 pentium are the cause.

There's some windows code in Xin's pages (www.fixup.net) that I believe 
controls the backlight all the way (IIRC). Somewhere around on the net 
there's a listing of the bios calls for toshiba power control, too.

Hi Raymond

The rear polarizer is between the diffuser and the glass like you suspected.
I don't see any reason why the RDF-C film wouldn't work as long as  the
polarizer came off ok and the light it filters and reflects doesn't mess up
the color too bad. I'll give it a try when I install the brightness
enhancement films. I think by replacing the diffuser with a POC thin film
and using the brightness enhancement films I'll double the amount of light
from the backlight so that adding the RDF-C which cuts out 50% of the light
from the backlight will leave the backlight the same brightness. But if I'm
able to turn it way down or off in ambient light I'll be able to use it much
less. I should be able to add a good hour to battery run time plus be able
to see the screen in full sunlight.

John

Write-back forces a simultaneous write to memory with every write to cache, 
so there's a ram access delay at every write. Write-through writes to the 
cache but only writes to real memory if the space in the cache is required 
for something else, or the system shuts down, or it's told to. So it's 
usually quicker. (actually, that feels the wrong way round, but it's early 
in the morning)

I wrote a long screed on what all the bios switches do which should be in 
the archive somewhere and may be helpful.

Hehe well I'm getting my new coat made with 2x20cm internal pockets and 
re-enforced lining so I can put my L100 and digital camera in my coat and 
not worry about them falling out or strangling me ;-)

|Believe someone here was looking for a Libretto to be outfitted with a touch-screen.

|d =)

Here! After my email to all contacts including the CEO of EZSCREEN, I received a 
inquiring email from sales. But after my suggestion of a different procedure and a 
touchscreen retrofit for a non-touchscreen Libretto they became quiet again. I suspect 
not enough business for them to get their a$$e$ out of the chairs.

But I personally would go for a VAIO U1 with touch-screen because of the dimensions (I 
am still looking for a real mobile device to replace my Jornada 690). The U1 is still 
to big to fit any 15cm suite pocket.

External tape measures (the maximum dimensions = 2x depth + 2x height):
1. Jornada HPC  25,4 cm fits 15 cm pockets and maybe 13 cm pockets
2. Lib 1100 32,4 cm could fit the 17 cm pocket of my winter coat :-)
3. Lib 100,110  33,4 cm difficult to fit 17 cm pockets
4. VAIO U1  33,9 cm very difficult to fit 17 cm pockets
5. P-1000   38,4 cm any 20 cm pockets out there? in an eVest maybe?
6. L1,L2,L3 39,2 cm
7. P-2000   43,6 cm

But because of the weight, and the jornada is already strangling my neck, I am trying 
to find a belt holster.
Standard weight (without hi cap batt or accessories)
1. Jornada HPC  530 g
2. VAIO U1  820 g
3. Lib 1100 950 g
4. Lib 100/110  980 g
5. P-1000   1000 g
6. L1,L2,L3 1100 g
7. P-2000   1270 g

When using a belt holster, the depth is most important:
1. Jornada HPC  9,4 cm
2. Lib 1100 13,2 cm
3. Lib 100/110  13,2 cm
4. Vaio U1  13,9 cm
5. P-1000   15,7 cm
6. L1,L2,L3 16,7 cm
7. P-2000   17,8 cm

Fujitsu, from my low point of view, is the only company, that consistently build 
touch-screen notebooks. I do not expect Sony or Toshiba to do that. :-(

At the moment, I would be more than happy to get my recently purchased used L1100 from 
the customs on monday 8-)

Re: [LIB] "Hardware" hibernation in L110

Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2002 23:58:50 -0400
From: "Gennadiy Tsygan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Re: [LIB] "Hardware" hibernation in L110

I need to stress that my experiences are based solely on my L110 running
WinXP. With XP and Win2000 hibernation is controlled by the OS, so
"hardware" hibernation is a rare, emergency occasion. That's why an
occasional blue screen is acceptable. The risk of ruining filesystem exists,
but it didn't happen in my test  on NTFS. System bluescreened , I rebooted
and everything worked fine.
Cookies and temp files just don't take enough room to count for
useable savings. Of course, you can assign 80 MB temp files, but it will be
a waste itself. I found that even 5MB is adequate. To fill out the
hibernation space I will use a swapfile or some files I don't mind loosing,
like copies of MP3's from my home PC. With MP3 files no blue screen should
happen.
This is how my partitions look like.

Particulary nice that the touchscreen has not been added at the expense of 
the existing eraser pointer thingy ... now all they need to do is put that 
screen onto the one with the DVD-CDRW and it'll be perfect ;-)

Yup ... if you do a quick search in the list archives we went through a bit 
of a discussion where I wrote a speal about the makeup of an LCD screen 
including the layers, what they do, etc. which might clear up a few things 
for you.

Hope this helps!

That may be but I think Toshiba has recognised that there is a problem with 
this ... is it just me or has anyone ELSE noticed that the L100/110 screens 
are considerably more readable with reflected light (eg. in bright 
sunlight) than the L50/70 screens? I can actually see in color reasonably 
well in bright sunlight on my L100 (enough to comfortably type a document 
pretty much without the backlight) but my L50 was almost unviewable in 
bright sunlight. Its almost as if the L100/110 screens have a 
semi-reflective layer on the backlight.

Like you say, Neil has probably answered this but I might as well add my 
bit ... when its partway through writing something, it expects what it just 
wrote to still be there when it gets back to writing it after a 
hibernation. If it isn't then once it finishes it goes back to check or 
analyze something, it finds what it wrote to be missing and it freaks. Now 
being the well written software that it is, Internet Explorer is likely to 
start swearing at you before stomping its feet and walking out, knocking 
the whole setup over as it goes.

Thats important ... but also its CRITICAL that the first partition on your 
hard drive is created with MS-DOS FDISK. The problem is Linux FDISK (and 
CFDISK) looks at the first partition for anything weird (such as drive 
overlays). It'll completely miss the presence of an overlay if it sees a 
blank drive with no partitions. I found THAT out the hard way.

Umm ... what exactly do you mean? I found that as long as the extended 
partition and first partition were created in Windows FDISK (not 
necessarily in that order ... its fine if you create the first partition 
with Windows FDISK then use Linux FDISK to create another 2 primaries then 
use Windows FDISK to create the 4th partition as an extended) then both 
Linux FDISK and Windows FDISK will be quite happy to populate the extended 
partition (although Windows freaks if you try to put more than 4 logical 
partitions in there, in that case you NEED to use Linux FDISK or CFDISK to 
create Windows partitions but as long as you've already got a 
Windows-FDISK-created partition in that extended partition somewhere, Linux 
FDISK/CFDISK seem fine). DOS FORMAT doesn't seem to care what created the 
partition as long as its the right type.

Thats why you need a drive overlay. Refer to my 2 or 3 big emails about my 
experiences with them if you need some hints ;-)

I do know that if you have that 8 gig problem then you WILL get 
inconsistent representations of the disk depending on if the program you're 
using to view the disk can do the translation independant of the BIOS. Such 
things as Windows reconing there are 6 partitions when Linux FDISK only 
sees 3 or vice versa whilst Norton recons the disk is unpartitioned and 
Partition Magic recons there is only 1 partition. Put the overlay on (and 
make sure any partition changing or viewing program is run once the overlay 
loads) and everythign seems fine.

Actually, whilst Windows FDISK won't create more than 1 primary and 4 
logicals, if you use another utility (such as NT Disk Admin, Linux 
FDISK/CFDISK or Partition Magic) to create multiple primaries and more than 
4 logicals, as long as you create them as file systems Windows can see, 
Win9x will be happy to see and format them ... I can use Windows to see the 
4th primary partition on the very end of my disk for instance. I just make 
sure the overlay is active ;-)


>A last clue - Linux does not seem happy to mount the Windows partition???

How are you mounting it? I just use "mount -t vfat /dev/hdaX /mnt/X" and 
Linux seems fine mounting any one of my Windows partitions be them

IIRC you can use the DD command under Linux to do a disk image. Do a google 
on the web as I don't really know how. Otherwise, use Norton Ghost or 
Powerquest DriveImage which can do these things to local hard drives (put 
the libby hard drive into your desktop), over a network, through parallel 
cable or to a tape drive.

I don't really bother with that sorta thing ... I rarely boot anyway (I 
suspend most often) so I don't get that problem. If I need to reboot I just 
let it go, do something else for a minute or 2 then come back.

I'd have to disagree with you on that. Toshiba's factory installs are 
actually pretty decent (unlike Acer factory installs which are full of cr@p 
in my opinion). Where I used to work, we used to do the installs ourselves 
but we ended up modifying Toshiba factory installs because it was a lot 
easier and was as good if not better than what we could do with the time we 
had.

Just put the hard drive into another machine and do a straight file copy. 
When you need to restore, just copy the files back then restore your boot 
loader (either run Lilo to rewrite the Lilo boot loader, run fdisk /mbr, 
reload GRUB or reload NTLDR depending on what you use to load your OS).

Ya never do things like that ... either restore all or nothing. Don't 
restore the registry without the files or the files without the registry 
(the all-file backup I referred to above also copies the registry files ... 
which is why you need to put the hard drive into another computer booted 
into its OWN installation ... because you can't back up the registry in 
that way when you're still sitting on it!).

You can use DD then resize the partition using Partition Ma

I think he's referring to the general system layout/architecture (eg. the 
ISA-only stuff). Remember, you CAN build a Pentium system where the mobo is 
practically a souped up 486 setup.

The L50 and 70 are practically identical. I can't think of a single thing 
that'll work for one that won't work for the other. Remember, the RAM speed 
is based on the bus speed and not the processor speed. Thats why you can 
use the same RAM on your desktop PII 233 as you can on your desktop 1.4GHz 
Athlon.

Dunno about an SDK but you might want to look to the Linux community and 
see if you can find some bits of source code that might help ... IIRC it IS 
possible to get Linux to control APM such that you CAN get some control of 
the backlight (at least I remember reading something to that effect on a 
webpage somewhere when I was looking for how to get Linux working on my 
L50) ...

>What quirks have you found?

IIRC I posted a few gripes a while back but it boils down to

1: It has a real problem hot-docking/undocking or warm-docking/undocking 
from the EPR regardless of what else is plugged in. My L50 was fine going 
to and from the EPR primarily because the EPR wasn't actually detecting as 
a port replicator (for instance, even when nothing is connected you'll 
notice the L50/70 recons its got 2 PCMCIA slots ... as if the EPR was 
always connected). I think this sorta problem would be common to ANY laptop 
that uses Windows's docking/undocking stuff (my Toshiba Tecra 500CDT with 
the Dockstation V has similar problems at times).

2: The L100 has a real hard time figuring out itself after coming out of 
suspend. My L50 would redetect everything so say it suspend with a NIC then 
I replaced it with a CD-ROM card and powered it back up again, it'd 
redetect everything and it'd be fine. With my L100, I have to stop the NIC 
before suspending, then when it comes out of suspend it detects the CD-ROM 
card. Ditto if I remove the NIC during hibernation (although I think thats 
more a network problem). I just get into the habit now of stopping all 
devices before suspending, regardless of if I'll be removing anything or not.

3: Coming OUT of suspend takes anywhere from 2 seconds to 15 seconds. I'm 
not exactly sure why this is ... it doesn't seem to depend on things having 
changed, redetections, programs running or whatnot.

4: I can't get the L100 to do the nice L50 thing of suspending but saving 
hibernation info, then flipping from suspend to hibernate after a set 
amount of time (so if I remove the battery pack or if I leave it for a 
while it won't need to be powered but if I need to wake it up after a short 
time I can do so quickly). Having said THAT, it seems to use about as much 
power suspended as hibernated so the only time you'll really need to 
hibernate is if you wanted to switch battery packs without fully shutting 
down. I've not got a spare pack for my L100 so I've not had that problem, 
when I get a new pack I'll have to find a way of forcing hibernation to do 
a battery swap ...

5: The L100 relies a lot more on Windows APM stuff so it does annoying 
things like Windows overriding BIOS. In Windows for instance, I press the 
power button and the laptop suspends. Under DOS or Linux however, I press 
the power button and it hibernates. Thing is, I've not told it to hibernate 
ANYWHERE (BIOS or Windows) so I'm trying to figure out why it bothers 
hibernating.


Hope this helps!

You can get 15V 2.5A switchmode powerbricks from any decent electronics

the jack to plug into the L100/110, Xin has some suggestions (www.fixup.net).

I don't think the problem is deleting the cookies or temp files. That in 
itself isn't a problem because Windows will just recreate them as necessary 
or whatnot. The danger is if they're corrupted. Windows sees the file 
there, it sees that the header is intact (which is quite possible) so it 
might just assume the file is fine ... then it hits the corruption. Written 
properly, it should just junk the file and start again however you don't 
know what might happen ... especially if the file is mainly text (such as a 
cookie) and gets partially overwritten with text (quite possible if you've 
got a lot of text in RAM).

Its a bit like the good ol' C programmer's nightmare ... you've got a 
pointer which is wrong but you don't know it and it gives you the right 
answer most of the time because it just so happens to point to stuff that 
looks awful similar to what it was supposed to point to so your program 
doesn't actually realize anything is wrong until you have to demonstrate it 
to your boss ...

Actually, I don't think this is a valid point because as long as the first 
few meg of the disk isn't affected, the FAT will be intact. Its just that 
some things that it points at will be stuffed. This actually caused me a 
few problems working with a Compaq machine once ... I deleted the existing 
(whole disk) partition, re-created it a few meg up (in preparation to add 
the diagnostics partition at the beginning of the disk) but things stuffed 
up ... ran a disk diagnostics tool and it picked up the OLD copy of the FAT 
(because I hadn't erased the beginning of the disk yet) ...

*sigh* file systems do weird things don't they?

I've had success with my Librettos running Win95OSR2 and Win98SE, a Toshiba 
Tecra 500CDT running Win95, my old desktop with a homemade IrDA interface 
running Win98SE and that same desktop running Win2k (with Nokia's serial 
IrDA driver). I've not used WinME (and I make a point about not going 
anywhere near it if I can avoid it) so I'm not familiar with the IrDA stuff 
on it but from what I hear it hasn't changed much from 98 ... it might well 
just be a case of have a good play (and make sure you download and install 
the Nokia data suite even if you don't need all that stuff).

So the puzzle I have is - why is Windows showing the extra drive, and

Nah what I meant was creating DOS partitions with Linux didn't quite work 
and that PM did weird things creating any major partitioning scheme when 
you had a drive overlay running and the disk was blank. Once I'd used DOS 
FDISK to create the first partition and the extended then used Linux FDISK 
to create the Linux partition, PM was fine moving partitions around or 
creating new partitions. I guess it does what Linux FDISK does ... look to 
the existing partitions to see if anything weird is happening as opposed to 
trying to find out for itself (like DOS FDISK).

Bah ... Windows is fine if you just do a straight file copy. Put the hard 
drive into your desktop and copy all the stuff off (do NOT use XCOPY or 
you'll lose all your long filenames ... do it under Windows, its safe to 
copy files OFF the hard drive without the overlay active, just don't change 
any partition info) ... then repartition then copy all the stuff back on 
then go FDISK /MBR  I've done it 3 times and its worked ... don't try 
it with NT or Linux though!


>I'd start by making one primary partition for Windows, and installing it.

I've never used PM's hide facility ... what exactly does it do?

Without weirdo software (which often does strange things anyway) you can't 
have Win9x/ME running on anything other than the first partition of the 
boot drive. Linux, NT, 2k, XP, they're all fine wherever you put them (as 
long as they're configured right).

See the earlier reply - the proposal is to share a filesystem with cookies 
and temp files on it and the hibernation partition. file system accesses 
should be atomic (i.e. they start, complete, and stop and nothing happens to 
the structure of the filesystem while they do it) but the hibernation can 
interrupt the process between (say) a read and a write, or between a write 
and a FAT update. Or, the data that the FAT points to *after* the 
hibernation is not the same as was there before. This is generally a Bad 
Thing[tm]

One size fits all - even when it's clocked. My 70 runs at 150MHz.

Oh, just chewin' the fat...

I'm not doing anything, but it's been proposed to put a temp filesystem into 
the hibernation area.

Yes they do use the same memory. At least Kingston has the same part number

Neil,

I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say, "..stomping them when the 
system was running, rather than pausing it mid-operation..."

I've deleted cookies many many times during a Windows session by just 
clicking in the Windows Explorer frame with the list of cookies, doing a 
CTRL-A to select-all, and SHIFT-DEL to delete permanently.

But what do you mean by.  "..rather than pausing it mid-operation..."?  You 
obviously have something nefarious up your sleeve in Gatesian terms. Just 
what are you intending to pause mid-operation?

Matt

(I'll probably find you've already addressed this by the time I get through 
all of today's many posts!)

Try making one yourself. I knew I had run across this
before. I have never done it, but apparently it is not
too hard. If you cannot make your own, you can buy them
for around $10 for two of them.

I was looking through the literature on the the 3M RDF-C transflective film
to see if they recommend it with a colored display and they do say it is for
colored characteres or backgrounds. To install it the polarizer must be
removed. Do color lcds use polarizers?

Subject: Memory expansion for 70CT



Hello there,

I'm trying to confirm that a memory expansion card (16Mb) out of a libretto 50 will 
also work in the faster libretto 70.  Is this true?

The 50 has a cpu speed of 75mHz but the 70 has a cpu speed of 120Mhz  but I'm not sure 
what speed the memory interface runs at.

Were all the memory expansions (both tosh and other suppliers) rated for both the 70 
and the 50 models.

Any help welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Mark

I'm guessing that what he meant was that the L50/70
simply built upon an existing 486 system board. Instead
of designing a completely new board that had full
support for Pentium class architecture and features,
Toshiba modified the older ones. That would explain the
lack of USB support and no 32-bit cardbus. I imagine if
Toshiba had designed it to fully support the Pentium in
the L50/70, the price would have been significantly
higher than what it was, which was still pretty pricey
back then. Just my .02.

They have pentium processors but the internal connections look back rather 
than forwards - for example the video chip is connected on a vesa local bus, 
rather than a PCI bus.

I already posted a link to a source of cheap lcd displays for the 50-110.
About as cheap as a color tft lcd gets.

But it does come apart. A little fingernail polish remover or windex works
well to loosen glue. Do you know the address of the dimmer for the
backlight? Is it possible to completely shut it off? Is there any kind of
sdk availible for the libretto series?

Why would you say that? The specs clearly show the 50 to have a Pentium-75
and the 70 is, guessing here, a P-120???

The L30 and L-20 were 486-class

No. Only on the L1x0 series do you get USB on the replicator only. And for

More than one of us have been tricked by forgetting that little tidbit

From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Re: [LIB] New Libretto L5

I would contact companies in Japan in order to persuade them to sell the Libbies 
worldwide. E.g. the company, which sells the size-of-L110 VAIO U1 (see other topic) 
for about $1400 + $40 H/S + $105 english OS, sells Libby accessories too (see URL 
attached). Soon or latest on request, I guess, they will sell the new Libbies too.

Few months ago, I read during my research on a used Libretto 1100 Dynamism sells the 
devices for $2000, on ebay you can get one for $1300-$1500, and the companies get them 
by japanese mail order for $800-$900. There is enough room to persuade any company.

Another company in South Korea is Koris4U, Hyun C. Kim sold me my used L1100. I guess, 
on ebay they will sell the L5 (is there a L4 upcoming?) soon

If you have a cheap source for LCD panels there are lots of people who'd 
probably be interested :)

OTOH, the flourescent is *very* tightly bound - it's screwed and glued and

Unlike the power plug for L50/70,  you can not buy the power plug for L100
anywhere else. It's a Toshiba proprietary plug.

Is the FAT info always at the beginning of the partition?

(ie, if the "emergency" harware-hibernate space fell in the *middle* of a
cookies-history-temporary Internet files partition...)

?

I have a 6 gig with about 4 gig free. I don't need a bigger one:)!!! I am

Hi Tom

Thanks for the info. I was doing a search for third party power supplies and
such for the 100/110 and didn't find much. I found a bunch for the 50/70
though. Has anyone tried replacing the power jack in the 100/110 to match
the 50/70? Cost about 2 dollars and the 50/70 jack is availible at Mouser
Electronics.

John

Hi Neil

Thanks for the tip on the memory. I pulled it and it solved my problems.
Interesting the memory passed every diagnostic test I ran on it. Maybe I
have a bad socket. I already ran a search on the archives and  didn't find
the info I need. It doesn't hurt to rehash old info anyway. The lcd will
work as a reflective it just needs to be modified properly- in its present
state it is transmissive so of course won't work when the backlight dies.
Nothing to reflect light. Parts are no problem- I can get or have everything
I need to mess with the lcd. I modified a reflective lcd to add a backlight
and I have plenty of parts left over. If something is broken or dies just
buy a new one No need for third party warentees :)

You can keep the floppy drive and hard drive (but why would you want a 
small one?) but thats about it ... the power supply connector is different 
(if you make up a new connector though you can still use the old PSU) ... 
the port replicators are also completely different.

I went from an L50 to an L100 and I'm very happy with it ... it IS bigger 
than the L50/70 and it does have some quirks in terms of 
hibernation/suspend but its more than made up for by its extra features.

My point is not that the cookies and temp files are required, but that 
you'll get a blue screen if you destroy the files system on which they are 
stored. If the FAT points to something that isn't there, it will read 
garbage back to the program - if it can parse it at all, it won't be happy 
with what it parses. If it can't it will probably crash - people don't seem 
to test things by throwing random numbers at them anymore :) If the fat is 
damaged, then it will in all likelyhood bluescreen when the file access 
occurs as the pointers will be all over the place.

The major difference is the internal design. 50 and 70 are basically 486
architecture while 100 are Pentium class architecture. This can be show in
many cases:

(1) When put in standby or suspend mode, L50/70 will drain the battery in
couple of hours while on L100, it is almost the same as shutdown or
hibernation.

(2) L50/70 only has ISA bus so it won't support 32-bit card bus and USB
interface. L100 has modern PCI bus.

Deleting cookies or temp files will not give you Blue screen. The worst
effect of loosing cookies will be that web sites remembering you login and

Blue screen because Windows page file was damaged by hibernation. Deleting

[LIB] (Re)Installation...

[Digby Tarvin]

Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2002 11:39:26 +0100 (GMT/BST)
From: Digby Tarvin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: (Re)Installation...

Further to my 'Phantom disk' thread, I am starting to resign myself to
the need to regard the first run through as a test install, and wipe
everything and try the partitioning again.. :-/

Most of that is just a lot of time consuming work to go through the
same procedures again as I did the first time, But there are two
issues which are still unresolved problems which I would like to
try and sort out before I start.

The fist is I think it would be prudent to attempt to backup my
Linux install on to tape or some other media, and re-install onto
the new partitions from backup. Whilst I havn't invested much time
in the system yet, and could restore from original CDs more easily,
I think it a good idea to verify that a backup strategy works, incuding
re-install on a 'wiped' disk, before it is really needed.

For the first time I tried makeing all of my Linux filesystems except
the root a Reiser filesystem, as it is supposed to be in some ways
better (any comments?) but it does seem to have one problem - dump(1)
does not work on it. I guess Linux expects 'tar' to be used for dumps.

I guess the re-install from backups is going to involve creating a
'linux boot' directory on the windows partition again to bootstrap me
into a postition where I can create the partitions and restore them
from the backups. Anyone had a go at this before and care to offer
some tips?

The second problem is copying the Windows partition from my old (4GB)
drive. There is a bit of a history to this which I outlined some time
ago, but briefly:

a/ When I furst got my new Libretto, the first thing I wanted to do
was re-partition the hard disk and put a useful OS on it. In adddition,
I don't really like pre-installed OSs, because it makes me uneasy knowing
that I havn't proved that I can re-install from scratch if the need arises.

So I had quick play to familiarise my system, not caring too much about
what I did because I was going to re-install anyway, then used the
Microsoft backup software to make a backup of my disk, as well as
doing a file-by-file copy over Samba, repartitioned the disk with
fdisk, and then proceeded to re-install from the supplied floppies...

Needless to say, it didn't work. The instructions in the 100CT manual
referred to disks I didn't have, and didn't refer to some of the
disks I did have. After installing the base Windows95 system from
the floppies (a tedious process) I never sucessed in finding a way
to install the remaining Toshiba drivers etc that would reproduce the
original install. I always ended up without CAB files or the PCMCIA
wouldn't work right, etc...

To I tried re-installing from my Microsoft Backup, and surprise surprise,
it didn't work. It went all the way through to the end, then came
up with an error message saying that something went wrong and please
try again... :-/ I have since been told by people familiar with Windows
that you don't use Microsoft's bundled backup software. 

In the end, I managed to get the original software running by
installing from the backup as far as it would go, then copying the
missing files from my file-by-file backup. The most important of the
omissions being the registry.

Since then I have re-installed windows on a new disk by creating an
empty partition and then using Unix and 'dd' to write the raw image,
which works fine when I keep the partition size identical, but now
I wish to increase the windows partition size from 800M to 1.5Gb,

Any Suggestions? Is there a way to backup Windows onto some other media,
and then re-install into some new partition?

Regards,
DigbyT

No.  The 50/70 EPR doesn't have USB ports and,
just to really compound the misery, you can't add
USB by using a PCMCIA as all USB PCMCIA adaptors
need a cardbus (32 bit) slot.

USB on the 50 or 70 just isn't a goer.  Or if it
is, please correct me.  From researching it, it
seems you need a machine with a PCI interface
inside it - such as the L100 or L110.

Nick.

Good question - I wonder whether they mean height? Lots of disc-on-a-cards 
used to need two slots to fit, even though they only used one.

No. It gives you a double-height single slot though.
