My current 100CT has 64MB and a 20GB disk with SuSE Linux, so I probably wouldn't need to buy anything else for the 110CT unless I wanted my current machine to operate as a fully functional backup, although that would be nice. Speed is not such a big problem for me because my desktop machine is only a 66Mhz 486 with 48MB, but under BSD Unix that works just fine, even with several people logged in at once. The only time I am really conscious of the limited performance is when I run somthing that does computationally demanding crytographic calculations such as generating keys for ssh. When I want some real processing power, I turn on my 100CT :-) But a little extra speed would be nice, so if a 110CT is essentially just a faster equivalent, it sounds like it would make sense to look at going that way.

[LIB] USB2 PC Card in L100CT
Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2003 12:08:58 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: USB2 PC Card in L100CT Hi all, A brief report - just installed a Belkin USB2 PCMCIA card (model F5U222) in my L100 running W98se. The install went smoothly, and had to be run twice, once for each slot. The install software required a look at a .cab file, so it'd be good to have the W98 .cab files on your HD. Note that the card's documentation says that W98se (minimum) is required, and that W98 upgraded to 98se is not sufficient. Of course, it also says that a PII-266 is the minimum CPU, but all is golden with the L100's P166mmx. To answer my own question posed earlier, this card's need for external power is dependent upon the USB device to be connected. Only devices that draw lots of juice require the external power. My Olympus C-4000 digicam fortunately is not one of those, so photo downloads can be accomplished w/o nearby AC power or hauling around a power brick. I don't have any USB2 devices, so cannot report on those, but the camera works so I'm happy.

I was just contemplating getting a space for my 100CT, and wondered if a 110CT would be a better buy - which it probably would if it were just faster but still software interchangeable. (I like my machines to run cool, so I am not keen on overclocking...) Regards, DigbyT Don't have a 110, but I believe it has only one PC card slot. I think the BIOS is the same. I've successfully OC'd my 100 to 266 and it doesn't feel any hotter, but it did shut down once while doing a complete virus scan sitting on a pillow. I also think the 110 is limited to 8.45mm drives, as opposed to 9.5 for the 100. ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

Re: [LIB] L1 Scrub -- 3rd Way ;-)
Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2003 13:10:49 - From: "Chris Hogan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [LIB] L1 Scrub -- 3rd Way ;-) > A: I'd need the converter. > B: I'd need to get the HD out of the L1, which is not trivial. > C: I'd have to dig into my main system.. :( I was once in the same position -- there is another way, but probably just as many problems, and that is to make up a DOS boot floppy with drivers for a pcmcia network card then copy the XP distribution from another system. However you will need: 1. A network card that comes with DOS drivers (not so common these days) 2. A network, either at home or work, that you can log into with the disk 3. Bizarre and arcane knowledge of DOS startup files and memory management. 4. DOS pcmcia socket services and knowledge of their use. Its too long-winded to go into here, however I will happily email my floppy disk contents, all you'd need to do then is replace my netcard drivers (Xircom 10M CE II PS) with yours, and tweak the config files. To my surprise, the disk I made for my old ThinkPad worked straight away in my Libretto (which I have back, hurrah, long story for another time perhaps), and a colleague's Portege, as long as the card was in the correct slot. So although it was a bit of a slog making the disk, its paid back very well. HTH, feel free to email me off list for long and involved instructions :) Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.
