Aaaacckkk I should have posted this earlier to save you the trouble David. Michael Berlant sent me a exploded view of the construction, and I was able to get the lid apart, and switch the screens pretty easily. The ribbons unplugged from the screen right in the lid. I think the Libs involve more disassembly. The work on the Lib's screens I've done already made this one a breeze. Matt PS: Thanks Michael! ...

And I was having a heck of a time getting the right sound drivers working. I had to reboot to finish installation Maybe not a freeze, but a wait for 'floppy ready' So, the first driver you have to install is the floppy driver Finally I realized I forgot to take the advice of a guy on the Compuserve support list... before anything, install the latest version of BIOS! After setting up v8.1, W98 went right in. May have to do with something SE had overcome, as it installed with no problems. Problems after that were bacause Toshiba pointed me to the wrong sound drivers. No change. you can install W98, even with an old BIOS (with a 8Gb disk) ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

[LIB] Confusion over W98 drivers for 100CT
Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2002 07:30:06 + From: Matthew Hanson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Confusion over W98 drivers for 100CT I downloaded all of the W98 drivers for the 100CT from the ToshUSA site (after finding the video drivers listed for the 50). But I'm a bit worried about installing some of them, as they're referred to as W95 drivers too. Do these look familiar?: * 05-01-1998 Toshiba Utility Toshiba Windows 95 Accessories for Libretto 100CT (vW95AL100USB3; 02-06-1998; 1.06M) * 05-01-1998 Toshiba Utility Toshiba Windows 95 Controls for Libretto 100CT (v1.0; 02-06-1998; 294K) * 05-01-1998 Special Toshiba INF files for Windows 95 OSR2 (4.00.950b) (v1.0; 09-15-1997; 46K) * 09-15-1999 Toshiba Utility Toshiba Win95 Controls Uninstaller (v1.0.; 07-14-1999; 692K) *** 05-01-1998 Special Windows 95 Docking Utility for Libretto 100CT (v1.0B1; 04-13-1998; 133K) *** The W95 Docking Utility set up USB drivers fine. But I haven't loaded the rest. Can anyone confirm the resat of them are the proper drivers for the L100 running W98?

It is just two simple things... a .vxd and a power save profile, which basically tells Win98 to leave the machine in always on like mode... never do anything. You ALSO want the hairy light bulb. That allows differing screen brightness and processor speed, as well as different suspend/hibernate for lid closing options based on battery or A/C, things that Win98's power management do not address. These are things that took me a long time to figure out. There was one other thing I wanted to mention, but it just slipped my mind. I will write in again if it comes back.
