Hi David and thanks for your reply, Really too slow to run much more than Windows 98SE, which is what I'd recommend. Very stable, runs decently, but try to up it to 32MB RAM total. Understood. I've just fired up the 50CT and that is also on 98SE as you suggest. I can't remember where I got the extra (not detected directly by 98) drivers from though? Also, you may want to look into using only IE5.5 (somewhat faster than IE 6), or Opera for the web browser Ok, understood. Also, try not to install to many apps - eg Virus scanners, etc. I'd go with AVG Free or a light McAfee VScan 4.51 + ZoneAlarm 2.6 era for the protection. Funnily I have ZA 3.1.395 on the 50CT and would usually use Avast! (is AVG lighter)? Also, 98Lite is a program to consider if you really want to trim it down some more. Erm, I think I'm ok with the extras .. sometimes the daughter might like to play solitaire in the car ;-) --- Anything higher than 98SE is really too much for 32MB of ram and the slower L70 processor, IMO. For Win2k, I'd really have to recommend at least a 64MB L110 at the very minimum. Ok .. thanks .. Anyways, that's really all that these machines were designed for, and the limited RAM really hinders the use of much more. CPU speeds aren't that great, even if overclocked, so don't stick too much on them and they'll run just fine. Cheers. Like I said I used to use the 50CT (32M) with 98SE and for talking (serial) to my Garmin GPS V. Now I have the extra disk space I can run a later copy of the Euro Maps and can take the L70 when we go motorcycle camping for updating the maps and photos from the digicam again ;-) Both machines came with their correct OS's installed on them (Tosh 95 / 98) but I was never given the disks for them. Would anyone have an ISO of one of the real Tosh 98 they could point me to please or I did have a PCMCIA WiFi card I used with the 50CT but can't find it atm. I believe they have to be 5V cards and I wondered if there was a 'preferred' card as used by those who know and does it support WPA please?

However, an observation from some experienced Librettists is that pressure, heat, cosmic radiation, voodoo or powers unknown with *probably* cause the machine to fail, probably well inside the MTBF, had the std 8.4mm drive been left in there?

I mainly got it for taking away when we go on our motorcycle camping trips to be able to update the Garmin GPS III+ with waypoints and routes etc. Soon after getting that 50CT I upgraded the GPS to a V that has it's own inbuilt routing software. (doh!) So, the poor little Libby has been resting in its carry case and brought out now-and-again for use as a test node for my Wireless Lan etc. However, when on a recent (folding) caravan holiday in Norfolk I wasn't sure where I was going to end up and hadn't loaded the detailed maps into the GPS for that area and wished I had brought the Libby along. I could also have done with it for offloading the digital pics from my Fuji DX10. Anyway, when I got home I realised I had upgraded the Garmin PC mapping software on my Desktop machine but not done the Libby. It was then I realised (was reminded) that the hdd was too small ;-( Now, with advice from this list I had found a replacement 2G nice-and-thin-to-fit-a-50CT hdd and swapped it for one of my much bigger capacity (6G) ones I had spare but the replacement I ended up with sounded more like a turbine so I didn't bother using it..;-( So, I'm back on the lookout for 'suitable' drive bigger than the std one (650M?) if anyone has stumbled across a warehouse full of them since I've been away ..? Anyway .. thanks for your time in any case and keep up the good work .. T i m (Herts) p.s.

[LIB] FS: Cordless graphics tablet for C70 -

I bought two Hyper Pen 6000's for the Wife and Daughter but the missus isn't really interested in one? It's a A5 sized (I think) graphics tablet with cordless pen and mouse. I think it takes its power from a keyboard socket (AT or PS/2, comes with converter) and uses a 9 pin serial for the data (so you would need an enhanced port replicator on a C70). It is pressure sensitive and works with most apps etc (it comes with a graphics prog). It cost me £25 + p+p but I'd be open to offers? (UK) (off list please) All the best and thanks for your time ..

No. The 50/70 EPR doesn't have USB ports and, just to really compound the misery, you can't add USB by using a PCMCIA as all USB PCMCIA adaptors need a cardbus (32 bit) slot. USB on the 50 or 70 just isn't a goer. Or if it is, please correct me. From researching it, it seems you need a machine with a PCI interface inside it - such as the L100 or L110.

Date: Sat, 06 Apr 2002 09:28:04 +0100 From: T i m [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: then two come along at once! Hi Folks, I have been playing with the libby re the 'wireless' lan stuff and found it's quite good fun. Switch on libby, browse the web, walk out to the garden, carry on browsing .. be on ICQ whilst working in the garage or next door etc etc ;-) Anyway, the wireless thing highlighted the fact the my battery only gave about 40 mins (is that normal) and how much I needed the Hi-Cap one. I say an auction on eBay and a (new) Hi-Cap went for £45. (On DABS the same battery is £39 + Vat ?) I e-mailed the seller asking if they had another of the same and if so I'd pay £35 inc carriage. They replied, said OK .. the battery arrived yesterday and seems to be working ok.;-) In the meantime the conversation continued between the vendor of another (new, boxed) Hi-Cap I'd won on eBay (from California ..$35) and the ongoing insistence by them that the USPS won't ship Lithium batteries internationally (they site them as 'corrosive chemicals' or summat). I managed to get a reply from a guy at NASA and his mate at the JPL (nothing like going to the top!) that said a modern Lithium-Ion battery contained no (or little) 'Lithium Metal' and therefore should not be a problem? Anyway, I have had a good friend pop into a local USPS office and they confirmed shipping a suitably packed, modern Li-Ion battery is no problem? So he's collected it from the 'vendor' for me and is sticking it in the post asap.;-) So, if it turns up it will be like the old saying we have in the UK re busses ... Nothing for ages then three turn up at once! All the best .. T i m p.s. I think my Libby is 'possessed' .. I install W95OSR2 and my GPS prog runs fine. One day it wont run the GPS Prog? I uninstall / re-install, nothing. I purge and re-install 95 and the GPS prog, nothing. I install 98 .. GPS prog runs ok .. ? I get .mpg's running ok then one day ... nothing?

Tried some setting changes but with no improvement (might of been wrong settings?) Tried opening the files with my picture Viewer (IrfanView, http://www.irfanview.com/) and it said I needed to download a .DLL (so I did) Created a 'plugins' folder and copied them all (it covers movies and more) to the folder (3M).

It looks like it would be happy with L100 too as the lib fits in with the extended battery on too! Leather on the outside, nylon on the inside, with velcro to make everything sit nice and tight. 3 spaces for pcmcia slots, window for business cards, folder for papers and a couple of elastic loops that hold my ethernet dongly thingy nicely (that *is* the technical term ;) ) It's labelled PORT Noteworthy.

The only two cards worth considering are AMD C Series 2M 5V cards? So, what's next please? All the best ..

Hi Matt, Matthew Hanson wrote: But if a 9.5mm HDD was ever forced in using this method, and later removed, it could have caused physical or overheating damage to MB components. [T] If it was 'forced' in would you be able to get it out again? Yeah... There's a little pull-out handle that makes it easy to pull out. It's pretty easy to insert and pull out the HDD without having taken out the spacers that way too. But the 8.5 will have a loose fit, while the 9.5mm will face a little resistance going in. You'll never any affect of a 9.5mm having been in it unless you split the case open any look closely. Even then you might not see anything if no physical damage was done to any MB components.

I didn't realize that MapSource had it's own program, but of course it must. [T] Yeah, quite a nice little prog (for one that comes with a unit). You open up a std 32bit app (Mapsource) then select the 'map' database you want to use (there's a Worldmap (reasonable detail), Road Rec maps for lots of countries (better detail .. side streets, petrol stations etc) and now City Select (you choose one 'free' area when you buy the GPS .. U chose the UK and it goes down to greater detail .. ie house numbers for all the uk!). The 'trade-off' is how many map sections you can download from your PC (Libby) to the GPS .. more detailed map, less of them in your GPS. [T] The only think I've noticed now is that 98 hangs at the real mode stage during boot (cleared by a CR .. I've looked in Autoexec.bat and Config.sys but see nothing untoward) and getting the power saving not to leave the machine without some mouse clicks but with a moving pointer? There's always something... There darned things work fine for months after everything gets tweaked... and before setting up a bunch more software and hardware again! [T] Well exactly ..

This outcome could be easily broken by a charge / discharge above or below the cycle range and 'hey presto' (ish) 100% capacity? I also believe the 'real' case of nicad failure was the build-up of small hair like fibres between the plates (dendrites or summat) effectively shorting the cell out?

Umm ... well ya but what about the hibernation area? This is where the libby writes the contents of RAM off to when it hibernates so it can restore it on wakeup ... this area is hardcoded into the BIOS as being the highest X meg of hdd space it can see where X is the size of RAM plus book-keeping info. [T] Ok .. Since the BIOS can see a maximum of 1024 cylinders, this area is either the highest X meg of the hard drive, or the X meg just below 1024 cylinders, whichever is lower. The BIOS does this independant of partitioning or OS ... which means if you have anything important there, regardless of how you've partitioned things, it'll get oblitherated. [T] Ooops! *When* does it actually do this? Like I said, do the partitioning and formatting in the libby using a DOS boot disk (with FDISK and format on it) then move the hard drive to another computer, using the converter if necessary, to perform the copy across of all the install files and drivers, then put the hard drive BACK into the libby to do the actual install. [T] Got it .. Well you can get around the card and socket services thingy if you put all the install files and Windows drivers for your CD-ROM drive onto the hard drive using another computer ... that way you can do the entire install with the hard drive in the libby, and the hard drive will have all the files you'll need. This skips straight over the DOS PCMCIA problem (Windows has its own services to get the PCMCIA slots working, you'll just need to find the drivers for the CD-ROM drive). [T] I will? Where will I find them Ray? I got most of the stuff I could see from the Tosh Canada site? Hope this helps!

I can feel another thread starting on this one?) and I had an idea (I'm sitting down now .. it's ok ..). I use simple removable drive trays on my std PC (can say 'std PC' on here? grin) and have been given a 6G 2.5 drive ready to swap out with the 810M one in the 50CT. I drive was given to me in a PCMCIA external unit and last night I plugged it into my old Tosh T2150CDS and formatted and copied the system files to it (W98SE). I then created a Win95 folder and copied the contents of my Win95 folder (OSR2) on the CD to the HDD. Then I remembered I hadn't made the partition active and of course I couldn't when I already had one. But, I had the idea of using one of the removable drives with a 2.5 3.5 converter inside, giving me easy access to the few 2.5 drives I have collected (1G, 500M, 270M). Anyone see any problems with this idea? This way (in theory) I can boot my PC from floppy and assuming disk geometry can be 'auto detected' (is this also the case in a 50CT?) I can load all the drivers (as mentioned in a previous similar post) ready for installation into the Lib. All the best and thanks for all the help / advice you have given me so far ...

The L70 and above can do both at the same time but it'd take ages to fully charge a battery with the libby turned on (we're talking 10 hours or so on, 3 or so hours off). [T] Ouch! 10 hours! .. I started to think the 50 was a mistake then I read the rest of that para and it's not so bad! ;-) The libby doesn't care if its running off an AC adapter or off an air/car power adapter, as far as its concerned, they are the same.

Hi Pres,

Serial card to provide a COM: port.? Can anyone see any problems with
that?
They work great BUT...
The mini-replicator screws onto the back of the Libretto, nice and tight. It
provides a real DB-9 socket, also something you can screw into.
[T] Ok .. my GPS will only be plugged in for as long as it takes to program it
(say 10 mins) and unplugged again. I rarely screw comms leads in as it's less
painful (expensive) when you trip over them!
The PCMCIA
card almost always presents a flimsy thin cable, easily broken.
[T] Point taken . I've got a PCMCIA Modem, NIC and SCSI but not used any of them
'hard' . I can see how they could be vulnerable though. ;-(
Plus, the Libretto ( in my experience a L50 which has NO replicator bar, so
I am forced to use the PCMCIA serial card ) does NOT like to relinquish its
internal serial ports. You can disable COM1 in BIOS, but Windows finds it
every time and reactivates it, IN BIOS! L50 has an infrared serial port
which flops on COM2 as well. Even if disabled in Device Mangler.
[T] Ah, been there, done that .. ok, that's worth avoiding .. ('Device Mangler'
.. LOL)
So, if your PCMCIA card can be COM3/4 and your device will talk to COM3/4,
fine. But you will need a fresh an IRQ because the unused internal serial
devices will take theirs anyway. I have a unused COM1, infrared COM2, and a
Socket Comunications PCMCIA on COM3/4 but its actual comport and IRQ squish
around like jello. I just keep finding where Bill Gates put my COMports
today ( Where do YOU want to go today, little plug-n-play device? )
[T] LOL again . someone needs to give that man a firm talking to ..!
Q, How many Microsoft Marketing people does it take to change a light bulb?
A, None. They declare 'darkness' and new industry standard! ;-)
Bottom line, if you have a mini-replicator, I suggest you use it.
[T] Hmm, you don't sound convinced Pers! (OK .. you share the comments of others
so who am I to argue with the teachings of my mentors ..)
Pres Waterman
And In another mail I said ...
I'm about the become the proud owner of a 50CT (32M) with all the basic
bits and will need a 12V power supply for it.
You'll need a 15v supply, not 12v. I can't plough my way through the
Maplin
site - it doesn't format properly on my browser - but any of the
switch-mode
15v 2a supplies will work. It must be regulated though, not one of the
'transformer and two diodes' types.
Neil, why did you not interpret this as I need a power supply for it that I
can plug into12v?
Is this English spoken, American tolerated?
G
[T] To be fair to Neil (and I know we are only having fun here) I was a little
cryptic yet very specific in the same sentence.
I'm about the become the proud owner of a 50CT (32M) with all the basic bits
(I mentioned the 32M as I believe it was only fitted with 16M as std and was
also thinking 'all the basic bits' were Libby, PCMCIA floppy, std Li batt, mini
port replicator, 110-240V DC PSU, books, disks etc.)
and will need a 12V power supply for it (intending (but not clearly) that I
wanted the 'source' to be 12V?)
Now I know you knew all that, I was just giving an example of how difficult it
it to put stuff across unambiguously?
traveling... much delay in catching messages,
sorry if I reply and others have already
and I lost many many emails in a crash also!
[T] PC not car crash I hope? ;-)
Thanks Pres / Neil and all ..

Nice to have when you're 600 miles from home in Minnesota, and you suddenly need to drive to Colorado springs.. :) [T] Hi David, Thanks for the reply and info. Sounds like the Libby is ideal for GPS work .(Dan uses one in Aus). How long does yours run on batteries and are you in a car or on a bike? All the best.

Hi again David, David VanHorn wrote: Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2002 15:35:20 -0500 From: David VanHorn [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] Some answers please? Be warned, the screen is no good during the day, unless it's pretty cloudy. I take a jacket along to make a light hood out of. (no good for driving!) [T] Thanks for the tip but that shouldn't be a problem for me. My primary intended use for the Libby is calculating the next leg of our motorcycle / camping trip, then to send the way points via a serial port into my Garmin GPS III+. (The prog is by Garmin, called Mapsouce and runs under 95/98). The GPS has it's own real time World map built in and can also accept more detailed maps for most countries but it only has restricted internal memory and no removable memory cards. London and a few other areas will easily fill the memory requiring a portable PC for regular updates, depending on where you are heading. You *can* plot the way points on the GPS directly but it's a bit fiddly. (The new GPS V has a 'Autoroute' type feature and is more like 'Satnav', telling you where to turn etc ..) To run in the car, I have a small 110V inverter. It's more versatile that way, and it protects the L from transients in the car electrical system. [T] That's a good idea but 'possibly' more inefficient than going direct (I agree more flexible ..) and on a motorcycle (all be it with trailer)! With all the camping gear for 2 weeks and 3 people we are tight for space / weight and my BMW hasn't got either a big battery or alternator? ;-( How long does yours run on batteries and are you in a car or on a bike? I haven't timed mine lately, a couple hours on the big pack I think. [T] So, allowing for L start-up and the actual journey planning, about 4 x '15 min sessions' per charge David? That reminds me, time to swap packs. I have one small, and one large. When not otherwise occupied, the L is my chip programmer for Atmel AVR chips, and sits on the bench. [T] Handy little beasts aren't they the Libretto's ... never programmed any Micro controllers but sent plenty of Intel HEX / BIN files to EPROM's in my time ;-) All the best and thanks again David ..
