I rebuilt the battery with Panasonic cells I bought from Saba Oceanic. They
will weld the soldering tabs on request.

 Subject: Replacement cells for L1x0  battery
 
 Does anyone have current info on the best deals for replacing the cells
in
 the L1x0 battery pack?  I know John M. had found some pretty high power
 cells a while back.  But I thought they were a bit pricey, and I don't
 think my battery had died yet.  I searched the archives for a while, but
 i'm guessing that what was a good deals 1/2 year or more back isn't
 necessarily going to be what the best deals are now.  I'm wondering if
 there's a source for a good deal on cells to rebuild a battery that may
be
 a better, cheaoper way to go than buying a 'new' one on EBay.  I seem to
 recall comments on the possibliliy that 'new' Libretto batteries on EBay
 may be already be a bit worn down right out of the box.

 Hi Matt,

 Search through the archives for a post I made about buying some camcorder
 cells from Edmund Scientific I believe, from a pointer off this list.  I
 recently tried to rebuild a battery pack, and have temporarily stopped the
 rebuild in frustration, after making a big ol' mess and cutting my finger
 real good on a sharp metal tab.  The problem is that the tabs that connect
 the cells seem welded on or some such; there was no noticeable solder to
 remove so as to separate the cells.  The tabs don't take very well to
solder
 either, being connected to large pieces of metal acting as heat sinks, and
 thus difficult to heat up.  Finally, the cells have to be all squished
 together, making the soldering to be done interesting to say the least.
So
 here's a forewarning that if you do go the route of rebuilding the
battery,
 it might be more difficult than anticipated.  If anyone has successfully
 bought their own cells and made a new functional battery, I'd love to hear
 your experiences.

Matt, crossover cable is the fastest way to connect the PCs, and 4.7Mb/s may
be as good as it gets with old laptop. Switch actually may slow things down-
in theory, but not in your case. If the cable has at least 2 pairs of wire,
it should be capable of full duplex. Duplex mismatch because of a failed
autonegotiation is a common problem, so you may want to try to set both
cards to 100Mb Full duplex manually.
BTW, is your speed  4.7Mb/s or 4.7MB/s?

 Subject: Networking problems

 I pisked up a cheap generic 10/100 LAN switch today hoping to increase the
 speed of tranfers from one Lib to the other while networked.  But I'm only
 getting the same rates as I was using just the crossover.

 I've got 3 straight through twisted pair CAT5 cables, the Linksys PCM100
 Etherfast PC card, my old Xicom combo modem/LAN card, and a generic
'Network
 Anywhere card in the desktop.

 I tested the same transfer from L100 to L70 through the LAN switch with
 combinations of the 3 cables.  I tried the same transfer from the L100
with
 the Linksys card to the desktop with combinations of the cables

 All transfers actually turned out to be a tad slowed than using the
 crossover cable.  All rates averaged 4.7Mbits/sec.

 I've also been on live online support with Linksys, and can't determine if
 the middle LED for 10/100 on the PCM100 Etherfast NIC is supposed to
switch
 from yellow to green connected at 100Mbps.  All they can tell me is when
the
 light is 'on', it's connected at 100.  But it's been on, and yellow for
all
 my transfers using the crossover cable.  Anyone know if that 10/100 LED is
 supposed to change from yellow to green to indicate either a 10 or 100
 connection?

L100/110 is slow because it has no L2 CPU cache, and you can't do anything

  I am very keen to recommission my old Libretto 100CT, however I was

 I've overclocked the chip to 200MHz, helpful, but still not enough oomph

 I don't find XP slow at all except when booting. It opens programs and

 Much better that even NT.

Subject: Overclocked CPU stress testing?

Hi all!

Well I've finally sat down and overclocked my L100 (166MHz - 233MHz) ...
there's certainly a difference (for instance I can actually play Quake 2 or
Diablo 2 now! Half-Life still chokes though ...) but one thing still
concerns me and that is heat generation ... using it last night was fine
but then again it was still relatively cool ... I'd really like to run the
CPU at full loading for a while when the ambient temp gets up around the
30ºC mark just to make sure it'll work during the summer here.

Does anyone know of a good program that can be used to really stress-test
the CPU (doesn't matter if it's Win98SE, Linux or 2k, got all 3 running!)?
My usual test programs (Final Reality, 3DMark99/00/01/02, etc.) don't
really want to run (FR recons the DX version is wrong, 3DMark99 and above
need 3D accelerators and/or at least 4MB VRAM).


- Raymond


P.S. David, if you're reading this, thanks heaps for your OC'ing page! I've
got a suggestion for it however ... one thing that caught me out was that I
was expecting to find the jumpers under on the back of the motherboard in
the area near the hard drive before realizing that the component numbering
actually started on the area under the PCMCIA slot and that the jumpers
were under there ... perhaps it might be useful for you to add something
like ... L100 overclocking picture (shows area on the underside of the
motherboard, you need to remove the PCMCIA slots to see this) to your
overclocking page?

 Subject: Win2k power management pitfall

 Hi all!


 Well I've finally decided to put 2k onto my L100 (along with the existing
 dual boot install of Win98SE and RHL6.2) ... significantly less painful
 than I anticipated, especially nice was the fact that *everything* had
 inbuilt driver support in 2k including my FDD, NIC and CD-ROM. It's also
 not slower than 98, at least not noticeably and networking actually works
 properly now. I also like how you can actually tell it to suspend or
 hibernate and that it would in fact do what you tell it to do. However,
one
 thing about power management caught me out.

 I run my libby with a power-on BIOS password (so when it comes out of
 hibernation, suspend or a cold boot, it sits asking me for a password
 before going any further). When at this screen, the laptop won't suspend
 itself after a certain amount of time and I'm *pretty* sure that at least
 some of the thermal shutdown triggers are disabled so it would take the
 processor's internal thermo to trip before the thing shuts down (you can
 see where this is going can't you?).

 Now by default, Win2k sets the power profile such that the laptop suspends
 after 5 minutes and hibernates after 10. At first I didn't know this. So
it
 was happily sitting there then 5 minutes passed and it suspended. I
thought
 Jolly good, I was going to do something else anyway so I closed the lid
 and put it in it's box (the cardboard deluxe laptop case mentioned ages
 ago in case anyone was wondering), put the whole lot in my bag (between a
 few books ... VERY well insulated) and went to do something else. Came
back
 several hours later and opened the box and wondered why the laptop was so
 hot (by this time the battery had fully drained).

 Turns out, after 10 minutes (ie. 5 minutes after initial suspend), the
 laptop in fact wakes itself up (presumably so that in most cases, Windows
 can activate hibernation and shut it all down nicely). Problem is, when it
 woke up, it hit the bios password screen and had been sitting there ever
 since about 5 minutes after I packed it away, processor running and hard
 drive spinning, right up until it had fully discharged the (fully charged)
 battery (and converted all the resulting energy to heat over a period of
 several hours). Not a good situation at all. Especially given I was
banging
 that bag around quite a bit during this time (I presume the hard drive was
 smart enough to at least park itself though).

 I've since told it never to hibernate (so it won't actually try to wake up
 from suspend) ... I could have instead told it to never suspend and always
 hibernate but given the L100 uses so little power when in suspend (unlike
 the L50/70), I figured it wasn't worth the time difference.


 Hope this helps someone avoid the same problem!

 From: Matthew Hanson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Subject: 100CT 32MB upgrade - yet another problem

 After the 32MB RAM upgrade, for some reason Scandisk takes 5 to 8 times
 longer to run in DOS on the L100 now as it did without the upgrade.

 I bought it on Ebay.  No manufacturer name on the card.  Just Made in
 Japan, and some numbers.

 I have a picture of this card, but can't figure out how to access my web
 space on the HotBox.ru account I set up.

 After installing it and booting the system, I had one of my other problems
 kick in.  My CF card reader was inserted, and froze the system one more
time
 as it's been doing.  But when the system rebooted, it took forever for
 Scandisk to run in DOS! (10-15 min)  I took the RAM card out and purposely
 shut the OS down with the switch.  Scandisk ran as quickly as ever without
 it!

 Is this bad RAM?  I thought this might have been why my 50 and 70 Libs ran
 scandisk slowly in DOS.  So I pulled the 16MB card out of the 70, and shut
 it down with the power button.  No difference...  It still takes about 18
 minutes to run Scandisk!!  That's why I always set 'AutoScan=0' in
 msdos.sys, and run Scandisk in Windows faster.

 Or do all Libbys run scandisk more slowly in DOS with the RAM upgrade?
I'd
 think it'd run faster.

Re: [LIB] Max Memory Question

2002-10-19 Thread Gennadiy Tsygan
Date: Sat, 19 Oct 2002 09:00:01 -0400
From: Gennadiy Tsygan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Re: [LIB] Max Memory Question

I did some research on the memory question, and found the chipset used in
Libretto 100/110 is the same as in other Toshiba notebooks with more memory.
So I decided to try to replace chips on the upgrade module with higher
capacity ones and see what happens. Then I found out, that high density EDO
chips- needed to have 64 MB on 4 chips, are very hard to find and expensive.
When I learned that my experiment will cost more then $350, and outcome is
very uncertain, I decided to direct my energy elsewhere.
The only component level performance upgrade available for Libretto is
overclocking by changing bus frequency multiplier on CPU. When I had L100, I
tried to overclock it by changing the bus speed itself, but it refused to
work at 75 MHz.

 What restricts maximum memory?  Why does a 50 or a 70 Max out at 32mb,
while
 the 100 and 110 max out at 64mb?
 It seems that the workaround for this must be far too much trouble and
 expense.  Otherwise I'd see more postings about upgrading maximum memory.

 I have 2 quick questions I haven't been able to find over the internet.
Does
 the Libretto 100CT or 110CT have standard RCA audio plugs or the mini RCA
 plugs like those on the 50CT and 70CT?

 Mini RCA plugs? Nope ... but then again the L50/70 don't have them either
 (AFAIK RCA plugs are those things that you find on the backs of VCRs and
 lower end DVD players and the like that carry audio (red and white) and
 video (yellow)).

 I think you're referring to the mini-phono jack for audio output on the
 L50/70 in which case yes, the L100/110 use the same mini-phono jacks,
 stereo for output and mono for input (it's got microphone in as well as
 speaker/headphone/line out).

 I went over there to try finding out how to set Proxomitron so that

 default.  Every time I start it, I have to uncheck that option to get it
to
 do its thing.  It's probably in the settings somewhere, but I haven't been
 able to find it.  Maybe Gennadiy or someone can help on this, otherwise
I'll
 try writing them.

Uncheck Bypass, open Proxomitron window and save settings. Or open
default.cfg end set Enable=True in Global section.

All this talk about batteries reminded me I hadn't tested the pack I
rebuilt yet with LG Chem 2000 mAH cells. The cells were too big to fit
with the cover on so I left it off and the pack slipped right into the
computer. The computer booted ok with the pack and when I removed it
the old pack worked just fine- charges and everything. The battery
gauge showed the new pack at 1% charge which woulld be normal for
rechargeables.

I next took the pack outside and plugged it into the external charger
and let it rip. The green light showed charging and the pack didn'[t
explode from the charging current.

I was only able to charge for about 10 minutes since my roommates were
using the extension cord so wasn't able to do a full charge however I
suspect it will work just fine. Once I do a complete charge I'll
repost.

I have been using them for quite some time and find them fast and reliable.



 Unfortunately, free email services WITHOUT piles of ads are almost
 impossible to find (and those that also let you POP email ARE impossible
to
 find). I found that registering my own domain name (and getting the free
 POP/web email access that comes with it) a LOT easier at the end of the
day
 (besides it's only like $25USD a year or something). My domain raybot.net
 is registered through NameZero (www.namezero.com) and more recently I've
 been pretty happy with them (they did go through a rough patch a bit over
a
 year ago where I came darn close to pulling out though). This way I can
 have one email address for every service and by default they all get
routed
 to the same email address (ie. I can check a single email address to get
 the emails from all the others whilst still retaining their full headers
 and 'to' fields). Then I just filter on the email client.

 Plus the webmail service is nice when I'm at work (and last I looked it
was
 useable through the Lynx/Links text browsers which is nice on the odd
 occasion I've only got terminal access and can't configure pine).
Certainly
 I've found the cost well worth it.

 Reply to Lou's email address below, please:

 David,

 Yahoo mail is driving me up a tree!  I had just installed Webwasher when
 they suddenly started displaying a lot of ads with Flash.  I can't seem to
 block Flash.  There are times when I move to the next message, and (at
least
 with WW running) the page stops loading with nothing displayed except a
 Flash ad with a car at the top of the page.  I have click 'back' and then
 click on the link for the next message, and hope the Flash add doesn't
load
 the 2nd time.

 Yahoo has gotten horrible since their makeover.  It looses track of mail
 when I click 'back', reporting some error, and I have to go back to the
 inbox to get to the next message.  In order to get to the Inbox, I have to
 click a Windows style drop-down menu on the error page, and then wait
while
 the code loads to format the dropdown.  Ugh...

 I'm not sure if Webwasher is worth it at this point.  After about a week
 with it, I notice that it seems to take LONGER to load pages.  I don't
think
 WW is blocking data from being loaded.  It seems it loads EVERYTHING from
a
 page, and then sits their churning it's little engines (I can see CPY
usage
 for it zoom up for a few seconds in TaskInfo) before anything gets written
 to the screen.  I think I'd rather SEE the darned ads.

 What's your take on what's going on at Yahoo, and using WW over there?

Re: [LIB] 100CT or 110CT

From: Gennadiy Tsygan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Re: [LIB] 100CT or 110CT

It seemed to me that 100 overheated more when overclocked



  If you're willing to overclock the L100 yourself and risk killing the
laptop,
then 266Mhz is what 90% of the people that tried this got (instructions, my
site below).  Thus, you go faster than the L110 and save money.


The interesting thing is when Xin overclocked his 100 to 266 he said
there was no additional heat buildup. It could be its perfectly safe
to do. Usually you have to use a chiller. I have my desktop
overclocked and it gets hot and sometimes gives me errors but it is
just a orginal pentium and has problems anyway.

Re: [LIB] Windows 2000, Lib 110, 8GB drive, and a fresh install?

I have the same setup, and I tried to put the Libby HD into another laptop.
Didn't work. So I made a network boot floppy and transferred Windows install
files over the network. The biggest pain was to configure drivers for the
network card. Xircom RealPort wouldn't work, I think because it is CardBus.
Once I switched to an older 16-bit Xircom card, everything worked well.

 Subject: Windows 2000, Lib 110, 8GB drive, and a fresh install?

 Okay, I've gone through the archives until my eyes were red and dry.
 I've managed to get nowhere with this.

 I've got a Lib 110 with a 12 GB HDD, no CD-ROM drive, and a spare desktop
 PC.

 So, here's what I did.

 1) Fdisk from the Libretto, making one (nearly) 8GB Primary Partition.  I
 left off about 70 MB at the end for a hibernation area, although I may
have
 to reallocate to *after* the 8GB mark, based on what I see in the
archives.
 Regardless, this is fairly unimportant.

 2) Removed 12GB drive and added to a Windows 2000 box, making a ~4 GB
 partition, formatted for FAT32, with the Win2000 (full version) CD
contents
 copied to it.

 3) Set 12 GB as the primary master, rebooted with the CD-ROM still hooked
 up, and did the first run Win2000 install, formatting the first ~8GB as
 NTFS.

 4) Shutdown, transplanted hard drive to Libby, and then all hell broke
 loose.

 I get an INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE Stop Error when it tries to come up.  If
I
 leave the drive in the desktop, it gets up to the configuration portion.

 I'd just do the entire install from the D: drive, but the problem with
that
 is I lack a boot disk with SmartDrive, so it takes forever to make it work
 without using the PC and the CDROM drive.

 So, what's wrong with the method here?

 Do I
 a) just suck up a few lost hours to SmartDrive?
 b) Format C: to FAT32?  (Only an option if this makes half a damned bit of
 difference!)
 c) Send it to a Service Center (I'm still under warranty, just not for
2000)
 for a clean 98 install?
 d) chuck this thing on ebay with all the accessories that I've invested in
 for a minimal return?

 I'd prefer an answer e) which provides the magical solution of making the
 partitions a certain size, but the primary is already limited to staying
 under the imposed BIOS limit, thanks to Step 1.  And no, I don't want to
 sell the Libby at the moment.

 Thanks,
 CK

 Check out http://www.sabahoceanic.com/lithium.html for replacing the exact
same Li-ion cells that Toshiba puts into the battery pack for the Libretto
100/110CT.  After replacing my dying battery with a new 3rd party battery (I
found that one at www.laptopsforless.com for $99 plus $5 shipping, 2-day
air), I pried open the old battery pack.  As those of you who have rebuilt
the packs know, it has six Panasonic CGR17670HC cells.  These same cells are
available from Sabaoceanic in a pack of 10 for $84, including shipping.
Five guys could buy 3 ten-packs and each get the cells they need to rebuild
the battery pack for just over $50.  Since I just got a replacement battery,
I'm not currently interested in doing this.  But wanted to share the
information.

 When did you purchase the hard drive and was it a Toshiba? I do know that
 Toshiba has a bad batch of 20 gig laptop hard drives flying round the

 or 3 (they work fine then make a rhythmic clunking sound then die, you
take them
 out and shake them then plug them back in and they start working again
for a few
 hours). To the extent that we've now got a shortage of 20 gig laptop hard
drives
 in Western Australia because of all the laptop hard drives that have
needed to
 be replaced.
 
 Either way, the overlay shouldn't have made any difference (in that if it
did,
 the hard drive would not have been in too good a shape anyway because as
far as
 the hard drive is concerned, it's just getting basic IO calls, it doesn't

 Dupont sent me a couple of their sample films and applied the antisunlight

 light and 30%-50% better in direct sunlight. It is very readable in direct
 sunlight with the brightness setting on 3. If anybody wants these films, I
 will order in bulk and sell them out precut for the libretto. Installation
 is very easy, just take the plastic off from around the screen, peel the
 back off film and apply to front of screen. If I can get enough people to
 buy, then each film will be around $15-20. Thanks.

 Brandon

 BTW, I am also getting sample films from 3m but they are only brightness
 enhancement and the L1 screen already has 3 film layers in the screen so
 more will probably only detract from the usefullness. If you want any for
 the old librettos, then drop me a note.

 Assuming you have the I386 directory on the hard drive,
 just run WINNT32.exe and answer the questions.

 Also, there's a repair option during setup that might

 If anyone's interested here's the Panasonic site which has their li-ion
 cells and technical info.


 http://www.panasonic.com/industrial/battery/oem/chem/lithion/index.html

 They have a 1800 mAh cell but it is the same size as a 2000 mAh LG Chem. I
 think with any 18mm cell there is going to be some modifications of  the
 case that will need to be done. Especially if the cells are stacked.
That's
 even saying the LG cells will survive with a panasonic charging system. I
 think so though. I haven't seen a LG data sheet yet but every li-on cell I
 have seen the data sheet for pretty much uses the same charging voltage
and
 current. Charge until it reaches 4.2 volts or the current drops to .1-.07
 CmA. On 1200 mAh is 120- 84 mA on 2000 mAh is 200-140 mA. About a 40
percent
 differance and the lower range on the 2000 almost intesects with the 1200.
 Personally I think the voltage will reach 4.2 before the battery becomes
 seriously overcharged and overheats. It may not hurt to examine the board
 though and see how they measure current. All it may take is a resistor
 change to exactly match the capacity of the battery to the ammeter. I
doubt
 the controller has both an ammeter and voltmeter built in. Probably just a
 voltmeter and it uses the voltage drop across a shunt resistor to measure
 current.

Start you Libretto in the Recovery Console. If you can identify the
offending drivers by their names you will be able to disable them. If you
are not familiar with Recovery Console, search Microsoft Knowledge Base and
you will find good instructions.

 Subject: [lib] win2k with led display, mouse driver

 hi gang

 just a bit of experience to pass on.  I've installed Win2k on my L100ct,
and
 then thought, hell, I'll try the Toshiba mouse driver and system led stuff
 from NT4...

 The system LED stuff went on ok, and works, but stops suspend / hibernate
/
 shutdown from working with a 0x009f error.

 Tmouse has hosed the system in quite a marvellous way.

 Serves me right really.  It's NT 4 stuff.  Really should have known
better.

 I'm now trying to remove the knackered drivers - to no avail.  Most things
 work, but the mouse just point blank refuses to work.  By the look of it,
 the NT4 mouse driver has blatted straight over some Win2K files.

 Sometimes I'm just too stupid for my own good.

 I hope someome else learns from my experience!

 Nick.

From the experience with older Librettos I think that there is a software
utility which controls brightness. The problem is that L1 is a Japan only
model, and English version of the utility may not exist. Try downloading
similar utilities for other Toshibas. One of them might work. Usually two
programs are needed: ACPI common modules and Toshiba Power Saver.

 - installed Windows XP without any problem.
 - Installed Windows XP (all upgrades) without any problem

 - Installed Windows Office XP without any problem
 - Installed Windows Office XP service pack without any problem.

 Now I do have a problem when running on battery:
  After about 15 seconds the screen is deemed by about 50% and I do not

 If anyone could tell me how.. I would be delighted.

 Thank you in advance.

I decided to take a plunge and try to increase a bus speed of my L110. When
I moved up to 75MHz bus, the computer would constantly reboot after the OS
selection screen. Too bad. 266 MHz may be the limit for 1x0 generation. Or
may be it is just my unit, and someone else will have a better luck

 Hi
 
 What is the differance between the write through and write back settings
in
 the bios? I changed mine from write back to write through and now my 70
is
 really moving!!!
 

 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.

Re: overlay programs [LIB]

2002-05-03 Thread Gennadiy Tsygan

Date: Fri, 3 May 2002 23:24:26 -0400
From: Gennadiy Tsygan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Re: overlay programs [LIB]


  I'm asking if there's a way to deliberately prevent Win'95/98 seeing
the
  partitions, but which would not prevent Win'2K seeing the whole drive
  (I'm thinking it ought to be automatic, whichever OS you choose to
boot,
  gets to see what is appropriate).
 
  I'm guessing here - but as you have to partition the disc anyway, to
allow
  space for the hibernation, why not format the first 8G as fat32 and the
  second 12G as HPFS (or whatever the NT file format is)?
 
  If you have a boot loader, W98 will never see the later partitions,
while
  W2k will see both.

 Neil, I like it!  :-)

  I think!

 Gennadiy?

I had drive partitioned this way when I had dual boot configuration. I
always try to avoid extra level of software, so I don't use overlay. I
guess, we all agree that the first 8GB should be FAT32, then there should a
space for emergency BIOS hibernation. Second partition can be FAT32 or NTFS,
depending on the personal preferences. No matter what you pick,  it will not
make a difference worth discussion. In either case any data for which quick
recovery is needed should be on the first partition.
I took it one step further. I formatted the hibernation space, assigned
a drive letter to it and used it for the page file and temp files. BIOS
hibernation is rare occurrence. If it will happen, I am only risking an
additional reboot, to allow Windows to rebuild the page file.
Suring the course of this discussion, I understood why BIOS hibernation
killed WinXP installed on the second partition. I thought that hibernation
data is written in the end of the first partition. In fact, BIOS reduces
maximum size of the first partition and uses space after it, still within
8.4GB, for hibernation. Thus, if the second partition starts immediately
after the first one, it gets damaged if hibernation will happen. The most
aggressive way to partition HD will be:

---As much as BIOS allows( a little less then)8.4GB64MB
empty-Rest of the drive

I played safe, and left 150MB for the hibernation. I put the page file
there, so it is not really a  wasted space.
---As much as BIOS allows - 75MB150MB empty-Rest of the
drive

Re: [LIB] Interference suppression cores

From: Gennadiy Tsygan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Re: [LIB] Interference suppression cores

Those are to prevent high frequency noise to escape the computer and use the
power cable as an antenna to radiate in the air and interfere with nearby
devices. That's the theory. In the real life, they don't do anything useful.
I took the ugly thing off.
My Libby is much faster because of it :)


 Hi all!

 Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that electrical cables are,
 nowadays, starting to grow 'tumors' resembling those on data cables?

 Of course, I'm referring to the ferrite suppression cores that are used on
 data cables to get rid of high frequency spikes induced by EM
interference.
 I can see how they can be useful on data cables (high impedances at one or
 both ends, small currents and voltages, etc.) but I can't seem to see the
 point of them on power cables such as the power cable for the libby (by
the
 looks of things, the power cables coming with L50/70's don't have them but
 they appear from the L100 onwards).

 Does anyone know if they actually make an awful lot of difference? I've
 obtained a second 15V switchmode power supply which I'll be using on the
 libby in case I leave the proper libby one at work or something ... of
 course, its got no suppression core on it. I'm wondering if it might be
 wise to put one on or if its a little pointless given the low impedances
 involved ...

 very surprised how quick it was.

 I never thought to note the exact times involved so I can't report

 how long it actually takes if you proceed immediately at every step, but
it
 wasn't more than a couple of hours from start to finish even though I kept
 wandering away and doing other things and returning later to find it

Subject: XP vs. 2000 | Was: Re: overlay programs  [LIB]

Best feature about XP is Cleartype fonts. They don't help much on CRT
screens, but on LCD, specially small ones, text looks better by a long shot.
More information here: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/
I've been using XP on desktop and I like user interface more then 2000.
While I have not benchmarked it, I don't think that XP is slower then 2000,
after all it is a relatively minor update, 2000 being NT 5.0 and XP NT 5.1
There are several features I turned off in XP for performance reasons, and I
am happy with performance. It works with all PCMCIA devices I tried, and has
no problems with standby and hibernation.
I installed it over the network, because my CD-ROM does not work in DOS


  I have XP

 Gennadiy, in just a few words, what would you say are the biggest
advantages
 of Win'XP over Win'2K in respect of an L100/L110+64MB+20/30/40GB kind of
 setup?

Subject: Re: overlay programs  [LIB]

Recovery Console is a pain, but it gives you some repair tools not available
in DOS, like controlling start up services. Microsoft says that NTFS
performs better, but I still use FAT32 on first 8GB, so I could boot from
floppy. I use NTFS on second partition because it is not accessible by DOS
anyway.


 If recovery console under XP is anything like that under 2k, its a
complete
 pain in the backside ... gimme the ability to boot and see everything with
 a plain DOS boot disk anyday (which is what you get if you use an overlay
 and FAT32) ... lets face it, I can't think of a single advantage of using
 NTFS on a libretto. Apart from the slight bother factor I also can't see
 any reason NOT to use an overlay on the libretto given that you can damage
 the partition table just as easily with it as without it ... you just
 damage it up different ways if you don't use an overlay compared to if you
 do use one).

 Of course, thats my 2 cents on the issue ...

 Smartdrv helps improve disk access speeds.. Not by an awful lot though in

You are right, I don't remember it giving  big gains in regular work, back
in the DOS days, but improvements during the first phase of NT/2000/XP setup
are HUGE. I am talking at least 5 fold. Without smartdrive you will start
setup one day and finish next! If you set up other machines, you likely
booted with nt/2000 CD. In this case smartdrive is loaded automatically.

I have not tried to put 18x64 mm cells in the battery because I only have 5 of

  I tried to put Panasonic 18650 18x64 cells in the 2503 case and they did
not fit, even with jackets removed.If anybody will have a better luck, let
me know. I was wrong about 1500mah, 18x64 cells go as high as 1800mah, but
if Panasonic still makes the exact same 17670 cells used in original 2503
batteries (and they do), I guess that there were no big advances in Li-Ion
for the past three years.
This a Panasonic page

 As with many things, its not the physical size of the battery that matters
 ... Just think about AA sized batteries ... not long ago, the best you
 could get was 600mAh NiCADs ... then came 800mAh NiMH, 1AH NiMH, 1.4AH
NiMH
 and now 2.xAH NiMH AA cells which blow non-rechargeable Alkaline cells out
 of the water (as anyone with a digital camera will realize!) ...

 Given that the original Libby packs were made several years ago, I could
 quite believe they're up to 2000mAh 3 volts in a single LiIon cell.

Re: [LIB] Overclocking

2002-04-29 Thread Gennadiy Tsygan

Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2002 23:21:05 -0400
From: Gennadiy Tsygan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Re: [LIB] Overclocking


 But as for another 33 Mhz on the L110, I'd say it's not even worth the
trouble
 of taking apart a L110, overclocking it, and then seeing if you've killed
it or
 not.
233 MHz CPU is almost guaranteed to work at 266. It is not much faster, but
battery life penalty is neglidgable and you know the feeling when after you
change the oil, car seems to run better? This what I feel now with
overclocked L110! Still, would be nice to go faster, but nobody seems to
know about bus speed hack and I am somewhat reluctant to experiment because
parts inside are so small, they are almost impossible to solder.

 Best bet however for those wanting a bit more umpf from their L110s?

 1) max ram to 64MB.  It'll make it run as fast as it possibly can.
 2) replace HD with 30+GB 9.5mm HD.  The latest HDs transfer data far
quicker
 than the ol' 3GB HD on the L110, and that alone will make your L110 feel
quite
 snappy.  bigger 2MB cache buffers also do wonders for snappiness and
 performance on the L110.
 3) defrag completely with a good disk defragmenter like Norton Speed Disk.
 (minor, esp. on a newely setup system, so don't bother with this unless
you've
 got time and money to waste).

Well, I am running Win XP for the following reasons:
1 Clear type fonts- looks so much better on LCD, you wouldn't want to go
back!
2 Built-in CPU idling- very important for overclocked CPU
3 No problems with standby or hibernation
4 Hardware support- recognized everything I have, including old IBM PCMCIA
CD-ROM
5 Reasonably fast if you remove some niceties from the GUI.
6 More and better features than 98

 4) Windows 98SE or lower.  Anything higher will kill system performance.
 Turn off 'display icons in all colors', use 16-bit display mode, turn off
 animated menus, turn the background to pure black, etc. will keep the OS
 running as quickly as possible w/o lagging due to silly shadows and
animations.
 98lite.net if needed to squeeze out extra performance.
Why black background? I think any color will do just fine as long as you
don't use a BMP file.

From: Gennadiy Tsygan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Re: Pockets: was [LIB] Touch-Screen Libertto alternative from


Raymond, do you know about other battery packs with cells identical to
Libretto?


 OK clarification ... what I mean is that you've got a lot greater chance
of
 finding a brand new pack for any Toshiba laptop of that era than you would
 finding a brand new pack for specifically the Libretto, and at a much
 cheaper price (especially if you look for packs for laptops that didn't
 develop a 'cult following' such as the libretto, and as a result are
 unlikely to still be in use so suppliers may have small stockpiles of them
 that they're trying to get rid of). I got a brand new (still fully sealed)
 pack for a Portege 300 for about $7USD a few months ago from one of the
 local suppliers who was clearing out their stock. The pack looks identical
 to that of the L100/110 and extended L50/70 right down to the circuit
board
 (but the case ends and connector surround are shaped slightly differently
 so it won't actually fit) ... they had some other batteries there for
other
 laptops as well (again brand new, fully sealed), I'm starting to wonder if
 I should have gotten a few more ...

 I do agree with you though, if the pack was opened and/or had a dubious
 history then ya I wouldn't trust it.

 I always set my hard drive to spin down after a minute. I haven't figured
 out yet how to set the standby timeout to less than 10 minutes. I'd like
to
 set it to about 5.

 It seems like I'm one of a certain lucky group of lucky people who are
able
 to get the Windows Power Management settings to work.  You're supposed to
be
 able to set Standby to kick in as fast as 1 minute.

 But WPM is really weird.  It lets you set Standby to the fastest setting
of
 1 minute, LCD shutdown to 1 minute, but the quickest setting to shut down
 the HDD is 3 minutes.  Guess the HDD can spin until it hibernates.  I
don't
 know if I want to risk playing with it to find out.  I've always set LCD
and
 HDD shutdown timeouts to less than the Standby (maybe just superstition),
 and have had success at all settings.

 For: Standby, LCD shutdown, and HDD shutdown times in powered mode, I've
had
 these settings working well for a few years:

 30 15 20
 15 10 10
 10  5  5
 5  1  3

 And an Always On = Never Never Never

 I seldom looked or changed the settings in Toshiba Power Saver until
 recently when I was trying to change the power-up mode in BIOS to get the
 L70 to remain in Standy forever without hibernating.  But none of my
changes
 would stick.  I learned the BIOS setting was being overridden by the
 settings in the TPS in Windows.  So changing the powerup mode there to
 'hibernation' there, and time to Standby to 'Unlimited' got things
working.

 I try to tote the AC adaptor with me and power the system with it as much
as
 possible, so I've not used the battery as much as some people.  But I
always
 feel it's nice to have the TPS settings for battery power there to at
least
 dim the LCD to save power.  I don't know if WPM and TPS work together
 successfuly, or fight each other, perhaps causing other people's problems.

 But I've left all the AC and Battery power settings in TPS alone, even
 though the HDD and CPU can be controlled in there.  I also have the Amnhlt
 CPU idler installed to, and always wonder what kind of dance it's doing
with
 TPS's CPU setup.

 I was thinking of the standard battery and making it a 2 Ah cell.
 Here's a link to the company that makes them

 http://www.lgbattery.com/htm_body/products01.htm

 I would think the circuitry should be able to handle a 2000 Ah
 batterry since the methods of ending the charge are pretty generic.
 I'm trying to get info on what charging voltage the cells need to see
 if they'll work. Hmmm...interesting thought about using the
 extended battery and making it a 4 Ah. It sure would last a long
 time but it would also take a long time to charge.

 Hi all!

 OK this has minimal libretto content but I'm getting desperate and you lot
 seem pretty smart ... so here goes.

 I've been caught not once, not twice but 4 times by the infamous IBM
 DeskStar 75GXP bug. I had 2 30 gig drives die on me, sent them away,
almost
 3 months later I got 2 45 gig 75GXP drives back from IBM which have now,
 barely 3 months on, died of the same cause (indicated 3 or 4 loud rasping
 sounds followed by silence then a few more times then the computer locking
 solid when accessing certain parts of the hard drive).

 Until now, I've had almost perfect faith in IBM hard drives but this has
 shaken my faith to its foundations. What are you people's recommendations
 regarding IDE drives from other manufacturers that are dependable and
 relatively quick, based on your experiences? I'm looking for
 recommendations for 7200RPM ATA100 or better hard drives in the 40-60GB
 range. I'd also be interested in experiences with companies that give
 pretty good warranty service (ie. it doesn't take them 3 months to replace
 a pair of hard drives!).

 Remember, these are batteries that already have solder tags on them. Were
 the libby cells measured with or without solder tags? Also, there is about
 1mm worth of free space you could make in the libby pack anyway by
thinning
 down the ends or 2mm if you're willing to do away with them altogether. It
 won't look pretty by itself but remember, the ends are covered by the
 libretto ends anyway.

[LIB] Overclocking

2002-04-28 Thread Gennadiy Tsygan

Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2002 00:17:27 -0400
From: Gennadiy Tsygan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Overclocking

I am thinking about oveclockin L110 by increasing a front side bus speed. I
found a datasheet for a timer chip.
http://www.cypress.com/cfuploads/img/products/38-07211.pdf
Output frequency is adjustable by applying logical 1 or 0 on three selector
pins. I don't know much about mobile processors, but I thought they are
fairly similar to the desktop ones. So I expected to find bas speed of
66MHz. When I looked on the board of the L110 I found that pull-up resistors
are set for FSB speed of 40MHz. Any ideas what it means? I made pictures of
the board and can post them if anyone is interested.
By the way, can I attach pictures on this list?

 Does anyone have a good method for cracking the battery case? I
 got mine half opened then I cracked the cover. I tried prying it open
 with a knife blade. It's not working very well. Its very tightly glued. Is
 there an easier way? TIA

Deleting cookies or temp files will not give you Blue screen. The worst

Blue screen because Windows page file was damaged by hibernation. Deleting
cookies will not save any significant amount of space anyway.

The critical thing being though (I suspect) that you were stomping

when the system was running, rather than pausing it mid-operation,
stomping them, and completing the operation.

  I think you may be thinking optimistically - if you build a separate

Re: [LIB] Hardware hibernation in L110

2002-04-26 Thread Gennadiy Tsygan

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.
-8.3GB C:\--140MB E:\3.5GB D:\--


 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.

Re: [LIB] Hibernation / EZ-BIOS strangeness

From: Gennadiy Tsygan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Re: [LIB] Hibernation / EZ-BIOS strangeness

This is exactly what I noticed. Hibernation killed my OS installed in the
beginning of the second partition! The OS was WinXP, so I didn't have to use
EZBIOS


- hi all
 
 Just thought I'd report some findings back to you.  I installed a 20GB drive
 into my 50CT and, after *much* cursing (we're talking cursing on a grand
 scale here) I got the right EZBIOS working.
 
 However, data on my large partition at the end of my drive (9GB-20GB) was
 getting corrupted, despite it being well out of range of the standard
 hibernation area at cylinder 1016-1024 or thereabouts.
 
 I left space at the very end of the drive and, guess what, no corruption.
 
 So I'm guessing my 50 is hibernating by making calls through the EZ-BIOS
 int13 replacement.  but this doesn't really make sense - how does it know to
 use the extended int13 when reloading on resume
 
 My brain hurts.  If anyone has the canonical answer to this, it would be
 appreciated.
 
 And if someone wants to send me a drive walker or other mythical beast,
 I'll do the search and find out exactly where the thing is hibernating to...
 
 Nick.

E:\temp
7 Assign swap file sized 70-120 MB to E: and remove it from C:
8 Change Temporary Internet files to E:

Test procedure
1 Normally hybernate XP.
2 Reboot with DOS floppy
3 BIOS hybernate the PC
4 Resume

From: Gennadiy Tsygan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Re[2]: [LIB] Hardware hibernation in L110

Yes, I understand the hibernation idea. I just found it strange that 100
hibernated when battery died (and screwed my OS in process), while 110 simply
shuts down. Not a big deal, because XP hibernation is faster. The whole purpose
of the excersize was to make sure that this time I got the partitioning right.

 
  I think Win2K will only hibernate using BIOS when battery power
  is exhausted.
 
 As I understand it, Win'2K *cannot* do a BIOS hibernate.
 
 Also, Win'2K cannot intercept the hardware hibernate - no OS can.
 So, your Libretto gets too hot and does a thermal shutdown - there are no
 options for this, you can't configure it to do something else instead, and
 you can't disable it. It just hibernates where the BIOS thinks the end of
 the HDD is, even if that is actually in the middle of your drive, and no
 matter if that space is reserved for the hibernation dump or filled with
 your precious data.

From: Gennadiy Tsygan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Re[2]: [LIB] Hardware hibernation in L110


 
 Sounds like on the 100, both Win'2K(?) Alarm settings were disabled, plus
 the OS was using the space that the BIOS regards as the hibernation zone?
Yes, only OS was XP- almost the same thing as 2000

 
 On the later system, are you saying it won't attempt to hibernate, or that
 it tries to hibernate but does not succeed?
On 110 it doesn't try, just shuts down.
 BTW for me, the easiest way to do a BIOS hibernate (for hibernation space
 testing purposes, etc) is to boot from a floppy to a DOS prompt, then switch
 off with the power button in the lid.
I powered L110 off during the OS selection menu and it hibernated OK.
Looks like I am safe, but to be sure I think, I will have to fill up both
partitions, hibernate, and run scandisk. I still have doubts about the crash of
the old L100. I had the largest possible first partition with Win98 and second
partition with XP. After hibernation XP was dead. But shouldn't the hibernation
data be written in the end of the first partition, not in the beginning of the
second one? Or may be my first partition was a little smaller and second one
started a little earlier?

May be the best way to approch partitioning with minimal waste of the
useable space will be to make the hibernation space sized to safe 150 MB,
create partition and put Windows pagefile on it (Optimal pagefile size =
2.5xRAM). I can't remember exactly, but I don't think that loss of the
pagefile will cause damage to the OS. What is your opinion?

Hi, everybody
I am a new owner of Libretto 110. I've borrowed 70 and 100 from my friends
before and finally got one for myself. Today I spent few hours reading the list
archives. Seems like good place to be- no flames or trolls, a lot of good info.
Now I think I understand what caused catastrophic crashes of Win2000 installed
in a beginning of the second partition! I hope that here I will be able to find
answers on my questions, and may be help somebody else.

I think I explained the reason I tried to use this command. For some reason my
subscription request didn't work first time. I wanted to make sure that I am on
the list.

Re: [LIB] Hardware hibernation in L110

Subject: Re: [LIB] Hardware hibernation in L110

I guess that Windows overrides the BIOS because selection has no effect
while in Windows. I checked the power button before OS was loaded and it
worked as you said. Still have no idea why hardwarehibernation doesn't
work under Windows. I used a L100 before, it had WinXP loaded on a second
partition. Once it went into hibernation and killed the XP completely. Bu my
current L110 just doesn't hibernate.


 
  I want to check if I partitioned my 12GB HD correctly and trying to
invoke
  Libretto's hibernation by disabling Windows service and using discharged
  battery. I tried all power-up modes in BIOS (boot, hibernate, resume),
but
  laptop simply shuts off when battery is depleted. It hibernated only
when
  battery died while I was in BIOS. What is the way to control the
  hibernation? And what those power-up modes mean?
 
  Thanks
 
 Boot Starts the way a normal computer would.
 hibernate: Records all it needs to know to the Harddisk. You should get a
 nice image as it reads what it needs from the HD, or writes to it.
 resume: Power down all subsystem, but keep memory active

 Power button well send into each mode depending on how bios is configured.
 Pressing and holding the power button in will force a cold boot, if data
on
 harddrive gets scrambled.
 Lid can also be configured in bios to start resume, or send it into resume
 mode.
