Well the distance between the pin and the spring needs to push out to be equal to the difference between the outer and inner radii of the barrel connector ... the 6.5mm barrel is slightly thicker so in its default tstate it might get a little hard to push in, that's all ... having said that, if you don't bend it (and just push hard), it'll hold the connector in more tightly ... >>P.S.

The L100/110 power connector has 2 pins and the connector is keyed by having a 'bump' on one of the flat sides ... the bit of plastic is just there to provide that 'bump' (so it won't plug in the wrong way). Okay... Thanks for clearing these points up for me Raymond. I was thinking it may be cheaper to try finding a power cord with a connector as you describe that can be modified to fit the 100/110s. But it may be quicker and easiler at the moment to foot the $14 for the cord/connecter from Digi-Key. After all the discussion about dimensions for the 50/70 power plugs, I came to an incredibly embarassing revelation... I'll report back on that later through. P.S. Is it just me or is the list server running slow? I posted my first reply to this post 1.5 days before I got it back from the list! In case you didn't catch my comment on this in my last flood of posts, it seems the list server locked up for around 24 hours over the weekend. None of those 4-5 posts of mine had come back to me 24 hours later, so I sent Dan notice. Either he tweaked his problem with SPAM clogging up the server, or the server fixed itself. I didn't hear back from him.

Although would be nice to get DriveImage working on Libretto... Well, it very well may be a problem with the Libretto BIOS's 8GB HDD limitation. Windows can deal with it as long as it's running. But as I reported here: http://www.technoir.nu/libretto/list/2004/msg00505.html "PM (Edit: Partition Magic) requires EZ-Drive to be installed on a >8gb HDD to work correctly in DOS booted from HDD or FDD, as well as when booted into Windows." Your imaging problems with DriveImage may very well be similar to the ones I've seen with Partitiion Magic in that list post above, as well as similar problems I've had imaging a >8GB HDD with Norton Ghost. Ghost required the correct command line switch to be run depending on whether or not drive overlay exists on a HDD. You might try installing EZ-Drive drive overlay, and then running DriveImage. Or see if DriveImage has a command line switch that gets it to run without errors. EZ-Drive installs EZ-BIOS >very< easily. Once the installation program is run from a boot FD, don't use the 'advanced' or 'automatic' installation menu item at the top of the list (I'm a bit fuzzy on the name of the menu item) that will actually wipe and create partitions automatically. Choose the 2nd menu item from the top, I think 'EZ-Dribe Setup', or something like that. In there you can quickly install EZ-BIOS in one quick action. Remove FD, exit setup, and the system will reboot. Then try DriveImage and see if it works. EZ-BIOS uninstalls just as easily. But going into that EZ-BIOS setup as before, you have to 1st 'disable' EZ-BIOS (or EZ-Drive), save and exit that menu. Then go back in again, and select the 'uninstall' option. If you want to try this, and can't find a copy of EZ-Drive, let me know and I'll send you a copy. Matt _ Express yourself with the new version of MSN Messenger!

You can not get USB 2.0 speeds, but if USB 1.1 speeds will work do a search for CF USB (Compact Flash cards, with an adapter will fit in a PCMCIA slot) and you will find three products listed. I believe it might be possible to get one of these working **IF** the OS you are running will support a USB card. These are all designed for PocketPCs so they do not come with windows drivers.
