As I recall it, there is some lines in the registry that tell the mouse program what ports to look at, and it defaults to looking at all comm1 to 4 ports you have installed. Basically you uninstall the reference to the port you are using the GPS unit on. Of course with streets and trips crippled gps support, I'm not sure you will be happy with it, anyway unless you patch it.

Re: [LIB] 100CT Emerges From Storage, Won't Run On Battery

Not that it really matters, but if it was chances are the battery is dead. Look on eBay, you may find a new one, or look in the archives for how to rebuild one if you want. The battery going dead when unplug from AC, and going to full charge normally means it is dead. Which CD drive do you have? The type of dive makes a big difference in how you install winXP. You might be more happy with win2K than XP. You are short on memory. Also it would be a good idea to charge it for 24 hours or so and see if it will keep the time. There is a battery on the main board that may have died, too. I have heard that this battery may take up to 4 or 5 days to recharge. But what you want is for it to hold a charge for a while with no AC going to it. There are just a few screws to pull, if you want to add a new drive.

It won't run on battery. It runs on AC fine, whether in the docking station or not. And while on AC, it reports that the battery is 100% charged. But once unplugged, it dies instantly. I took a voltmeter to the battery compartment contacts , and although I don't know what all the contacts are for I get 3v to 5v between various pairs. And when doing the same to the battery contacts, I get 5v between various pairs too. So my guess is the Lib is charging the battery and the battery is taking a charge. Any ideas? Either for diagnosis, self-repair, or where to get it repaired? ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

On the computer with the Internet Connection, you want to click on it's connection to the Internet and share it. That seems wrong to me. But if you are using a dialup connection right click on the modem icon and choose to share it. This will set up your other LAN connection with an IP of 192.168.0.1 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0. These should be the only things listed on the TCP/IP properties for it. On the "client" computer, (I set them up by hand) be sure that the TCP/IP properties are set to "Obtain an IP address automatically" That should be all you need to do. If ICS is working correctly everything else will get filled in. All other settings, (DNS, DHCP, Gateway,) will be filled in with an address of 192.168.0.1 ICS will only work with an address of 192.168.0.1, for the non internet connected network adapter (the 2nd NIC), on the ICS computer. All computers connected to the ICS computer will have an address of 192.168.0.XXX and a sub net mask of 255.255.255.0. Trying to change these values will break ICS. The gateway, DNS 1 and 2, and DHCP servers will be set to 192.168.0.1 for computers connected to the ICS computer.

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.

(ff1100v) I have an ff1100v running English W98SE and W2K. Everything works under W98, and everything but the camera shutter hardware button and remote control under W2K. I managed to get the camera to work under W2K using Video Capturix, but the hardware shutter button won't work with W2K under any circumstances unless I write a driver. Getting the smart media card reader to work under W2K was quite a feat. Had to install scsi drivers for it, but after about 3 or 4 tries I got it to work. Of course, the camera resolution actually sucks, so I never use it any way. And all my digital cameras use compact flash, so I never get to use the built in smart media reader. Tom ___ Do you Yahoo!?

(ff1100v) On the one I had, it came with an English OS. There was two sites on the web, (both now gone for a few years, one was the computer dealer that sold imported Librettos in England) that had detailed instructions on how to install an English OS. Never tried it myself but their was a Win2k ROM upgrade for the ff1100v that rumor had it allow win2k to install drivers for everything but the camera, and the remote control as I recall. I do not believe the remote ever got fully fix. The Image for the remote was broken, you could use the remote to a degree. Also the units I know of all would overheat and shut down. If you wanted to use it for any length of time, you'll need to place it on one of the trays that they use to sell to defrost frozen meat fast with. For win 98 you could install the drivers for the Smartcard reader from http://www.ratocsystems.com/english/products/subpages/sma01.html the driver for the SMA01U would work as I recall. The driver for a normal Toshiba built in modem would work for the modem, and I believe it used a normal video driver.

Wasn't Win95 the OS that Microsoft would not let OEM change in anyway? The crash on trying to come out of screen saver mode, sounds like a driver problem, rather than a hardware problem. It ran all night ok, just switching modes, (coming out of screen saver) caused a crash. Perhaps it would be wise to boot to just DOS, and see how it behaves there for a while?

Re: Power usage of a Libretto 110CT?
Date: Sat, 6 May 2000 21:02:45 -0400 From: "David Hettel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Power usage of a Libretto 110CT? Perhaps I am missing something here, or maybe I'm just dumb. I was under the impression that what you wanted was the power requirements for the Libretto. At the input plug you need 15 Volts at 2 Amps. Unless you have taken a battery shell and modified it to act as an input source, Its voltage and Amp rating are totally irrelevant. After all you are not supplying voltage here. When the Libretto is connected to an external power supply it is Charging the Libretto batteries. This requires more current than when running on its battery. The Libretto has a battery charging circuit that is power up when connect to external power. The difference in run time is the power required to run the Charger circuit. There is no point in worrying about minimal power requirements, because if this is all you can supply, its no where enough. So that means you need to be able to supply 15 volts at 2 amps, or you will kill batteries, and your computer given enough time. With older Nicad batteries it was possible to add external power and run off both the Nicad and solar, to extend run time. With the Libretto battery this is just asking for trouble. IMHO your friend does not understand what he is trying to do. By not supplying the correct input voltage and current, you are playing with explosives.

Re: and another one!
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2000 07:01:15 -0400 From: "David Hettel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: and another one! Ok I'm taking a couple of guess here. You did NOT do a clean install, did you? Did you download the latest Bios for your Libretto before installing windows 98? My guess is if you want everything working, go with windows98SE and do a clean install. >From the flashing orange light you are just going into suspend, if you go into hibernation you will see a screen with a picture of the Libretto and a image of a harddrive. Sounds like you installed over windows 95 rather than reformatting. This leaves you with a messed up registry, as the power control changed between the two. Your best bet is upgrading the bios, then reformatting the harddrive and installing win98SE. Going back to windows95 would give you the fastest machine, but chances are you wouldn't get the IR system working correctly. As to your PCMCIA cards, unless they are branded as Toshiba, I would think you'll find the latest an best drivers for them at www.3com.com not Toshiba. It would be a real good idea to log on to www.toshiba.com and read there instructions on upgrading to win98. Be sure to backup any drivers you have installed on your libretto, and understand what is required to get a CD rom working under DOS. You will need either a special CD rom drive or another computer.

Dynamism replaced my drive, and I quit using one USB Network device and it seems to have fixed my problem. It seems that there is one USB driver out there that may be causing this problem. (tell me what network devices you may be using, and I'll let you know if it is the one I was using) I also have a recommendation buy one of the "Magic defrosters for frozen meat" and keep your 1100v on it. With my unit, I only had this problem when I was moving or opening large files, and the bottom of the unit was getting very hot.

Re: DOS copy files between PC-card slots?

If you look at Iomega site you can find drivers for windows, but those will not work for dos, and you can find dos drivers for the Jaz and Zip, but I do not see any drivers for the 250 zip usb or for the click. So yes if you can get it recognized it would be no problem copying between them. I think the real question that you need answer is will dos recognize the click. Perhaps even without Iomega drivers you can get Card and Sockets service to work with it, as a simple hard drive.

With out a working hard drive, and limited to 3.5" floppies you just aren't going to have room enough to load all the programs you would need. It use to be that the Aussie Toshiba site had card and sockets that you could down load. But the install program would not fit on one 3.5" floppy. What you are looking for is old software for say a Toshiba T4XXX computer. an dos 5 or dos 6. Trying to do what you want to do is not going to be easy at all. Trying to do it by just downloading from the net, I think will be almost impossible. IMHO there just to much you need to load in your config.sys to put on just one disk! Sorry. If I were you I byte the bullet and try another hard drive. Chances are you got a blown Hard Drive and not a bad controller. IMHO unless you pulled your Hard drive while you Libretto was power up, or you went poking around the pins with your screwdriver, chances are its your hard drive.

Re: IRDA Lib100

The device that you selected (generic) is wrong for your Lib100. Toshiba uses there own pci device in the 100 and 110. The driver for it can be found here: ftp://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/780fir98.exe or here: http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/780fir98.exe There is additional info here: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/supp_tech_download_file_deta ils.jsp?BV_SessionID=0716765926.0971207819&BV_EngineID=ealjddfjjgebf dkchmcfgkcgk.0&Center=Download&Product=Portables&Family=Libretto&Model=100CT &OS=All+Operating+Systems&Category=All+Categories&OID=11852&FileName=780fir9 8.exe As I recall Toshiba only released there Intellsync program for the Lib 100 for windows 95. Upgrading to win98 allows you to install the win98 irda driver. The Generic IRDA driver is design to work with a IRadapter (Jeteye) that plugs into the serial port. Perhaps you remember them.

I DO have the modem software for the cellphone on cd rom but when I tried to install it BEFORE I was aware of the Win95 IRDA update it would not complete the installation. Ericsson (the cellphone manufacturer) stated that I needed to ensure I had the right windows software before I install their software. You may be wondering why I have not taken the next logical step - i.e. installing the Ericsson software - reason is that I am not confident that the windows IRDA software is working properly yet so would be just adding to my problems. When I installed the windows software I selected and let it choose a COM port for me... something that may be of significance is that when I closed the application (from the icon on sys tray) I got a warning... so even more confusion.

If this is the case then no room was set aside on your hard drive to store your system files, and every time your system suspends to disk, you are going to trash part of your hard drive. As a quick test run fdisk.exe first page should ask if you want to enable large disk support hit enter (Y)es then 4 and enter display partition information it should list total disk space If this number is smaller that what windows is reporting, then it safe to assume that your hard drive was not fixed and formatted in your Libretto. As to your Floppy problem I would download this driver: ftp://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/l110fdd8.exe It's driver version 1.02 For my two cents worth, if you don't NEED Win2K, then I would stick with Win98 SE. And Download the drivers from Toshiba web site. You need to get software to support larger than 8 GB drives (It's free with IBM drives - you do need to download it however) As to a backup device I would look at a CD writer (burner) and a Adaptec SCSI interface PCMCIA NOT CardBus for it. The Adaptec so that you can boot it from DOS as a simple cd player to reload the OS. The 2 GB PCMCIA card drive would really be worth less as a backup device, as you would need to have windows load in order to use it. Basic dos does not support PCMCIA devices. Toshiba is showing this as the display driver: Windows 98 Display Driver version 4.10.01.006.Q6.13.03fd for NeoMagic 2160 in Portege 7000 and the 110. as you are using the ...Q6.13.03fl not fd you may want to download this file: ftp://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/p7kvid98.exe and probably this one as well ftp://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/p301pan9.exe HTH David Hettel - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Libretto" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2000 3:18 AM Subject: FUBAR 2 - L110 ToPIC97 CardBus Controller x 2 > Date: Tue, 5 Dec 2000 13:15:43 +0700 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: FUBAR 2 - L110 ToPIC97 CardBus Controller x 2 > > My Control Panel - System - Device Manager - PCMCIA Socket reports:- > > PCMCIA socket > - PCMCIA Card Services > - Toshiba ToPIC97 CardBus Controller > - Toshiba ToPIC97 CardBus Controller > > ie three "entries", the last two being identical - is that correct? > It's because there's two slots? > > 1kTIA...

What you will need is a "point enabler" for your CD drive. This is a special program that allows you to operate your cd with out card services installed. There is only a few CD drives that have such a program. Perhaps you can get intouch with the maker of your CD and find out if they have such a driver. As to turning it off, Press and HOLD the power button in, after a bit it will begin beeping then it will shut off. Also if you press the F1 key when turning it back on (after this) you can go into the setup program and set it to "boot" mode.

Also do you have and installation disk for it. Your in a catch 22 right now in that you need PCMCIA drivers in order to get the CD working and the CD needs to be working in order to load the drivers. There are a couple of cd drives that come with drivers that do not require cards services. This is what you'll need. Otherwise you'll need a LAN card that has direct drivers (some 3com noncardbus) or you'll need to pull the harddrive and install the basic OS on another computer.

While you are there you may want to take a look at question 5 & 6 about charging the battery in your drive. (It's just possible that you actually may have had it working (red led light flashing) and it went into autocharge mode (no led on at all) where it shuts down for 10 to 20 minutes while it charges it's batteries.) http://www.targus.com/faq_detail.asp?sku=NW24XCD#104 Once you get DOS back I would copy everything you might in anyway need to one of the libretto drives and run it from there. HTH David Hettel By the way you do know that the recovery disk is actually a 3.5" floppy (used just to get the system to recognize the CD drive and a CD rom (that has the programs on it to actually restore the Libretto), so of what you describe sounds as if you where trying to just using the 3.5" floppy.

If you have not already I would first flash the Bios to the Win98/2000 version. Also under the FAQ you will find instruction on how to install win98, read them first.

Re: Missing autoexec.bat and config.sys instructions required
Date: Mon, 21 May 2001 10:05:27 -0400 From: "David Hettel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Missing autoexec.bat and config.sys instructions required George; I am sorry to say this, but at this point I think that you need to reformat your Hard drive and start over! It sounds like your registry is fried. Just reloading windows will not work for you! If windows can find your registry files it likes to keep them, this can lead to a mess, which is what it sounds like you have. The floppy drive in the Libretto, is a boot device, that means for DOS you really don't need any drivers! If it will not work, then either the floppy is bad, or your Dos is corrupt. As it works for you under windows, I would say that means your Dos is corrupt. Again if you have a **normal** non imported Libretto (not a Japanise keyboard) then you really don't need a keyboard driver, to remap your keyboard. As has been pointed out to you it is **normal** from windows 95 on to have a blank Autoexec.bat and config.sys file. Your Autoexec.bat file may contain a setting for the prompt char that you wish to use, and perhaps a dir to search if it can not find a command file. Loading anything in the config.sys file will generally give you an error about real mode drivers under win95, 98, 98se ME ect.

Libretto L1
Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2001 05:36:57 -0400 From: "David Hettel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Libretto L1 Stacey Tenen; If you wouldn't mind, I would like to know your connection for the L1. You say that it was upgrade, but I don't see what is was upgrade to, could you tell me? How much ram does it have, and how large a hard drive does it have? Do you know if these are Toshiba parts, or some one else? Did you get the original Japanise CD roms for it? I have one of the Toshiba 1100v, and with it at least, there was/is enought Toshiba specific hardware, that you really need the 4 factory CD to reinstall it, and even then you are not getting all the features that you paid for! Is the L1 a totally non Toshiba feature computer then? It truley doesn't need any Toshiba special drivers? There seems to be a very very large difference in the battery life that you are reporting, and what I understand Toshiba is claiming. I thought that with the large battery, that Toshiba was claiming something on the order of 12~14 hours of life. You seem to be getting the same kind of battery life that on can get with 1100v. As if it's special chips, make no or almost no real difference. As far as bios/drivers upgrade go, is there anything thing set up to get you thoes? I know with my 1100v (Dynamism upgade and support of drivers was worthless, IMHO.) For example they still do not have the Bios upgrade for it on there site, and I was told by them that for Japanise Computer systems Toshiba dos not normally supply BIOS upgrades, and if and or when they do it would require sending it back to Japan for it. I was also told that they were going to have a fix for the remote control driver for the 1100v which they seem to never have released. What software are you using on it for power managment?

Ok; Jon I was talking about the 3Com card that Pres has, a FEM-656c, what might be applied to you is that this appears to be a feature that the driver writer can implement. Is it possible that you do not have the latest drivers for your card? or is it possible that you have not deleted an older driver completely?

You might want to do a search for a Toshiba SG 20 or SG 30. This is a small box from Toshiba that you can find very cheap on eBay. It would do all that you want and more, There is also a very active SG 20 group on Yahoo. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/magnia_sg20/ The DSL modem would connect to the SG 20, or SG 30 by way of a RJ45 connector. And the SG 30 would connect to your other computers. The SG 30 has a 7 port wired switch built in. You can plug in an YDI Diamond Card (or Orinoco), and have a wireless home network. The SG 10/20/25/30 are Linux based, but come with a web based management page, so you don't need to understand Linux to get them to work. The SG series will support a printer, that can be shared over the network, as well as a built in hard drive that can be shared over your home network. The SG 30 would take the IP address that your DSL modem would provide, and use NAT to connect up to 200 additional PC to that address. It comes with a number of built in servers to serve everything from documents, to pictures, to music, to web pages and mail over your home network.

We've finally made the leap to broadband signing up for the Verizon $29.95/month deal with a year's commitment. But I see I have to order something for free from Verizon that will set up home networking to allow all systems to share the DSL connection. I've set up basic networking with my desktop and a couple of my Librettos. But it seems broadband is going to require each system to have it's own unique IP address. Has anyone gone through that process? I'm wondering if I can just go ahead and figure out how to do it manually, and not wait for Verison to send anything more. Or does Verizon have to set up IP addresses for each of the systems here at home before I can get them all online together? Thanks for any input.

By default I believe the CD is the last option, and will only boot when their is no floppy, and the Hard drive has no OS or has failed.

Look at the part that slides into your computer. Do you see a gold strip with bumps on it? That indicates that the card is a cardbus card and will not work on the 50 or 70, but will on a 100 and above. What you need to do is stay away from card bus cards. So basically that means the old 802.11b cards.
