Re: [LIB] USB powered external HD
Date: Mon, 29 Mar 2004 13:50:31 + From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] USB powered external HD From: Wouter Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: USB powered external HD Hello all, I am looking for an external 2.5 USB harddisk. I want it to be fully bus-powered, do not want to use an ac-adapter or PS2-powercable. Obviously I'd like this thing to be able to work on my Libretto 110 as well. I'm using a USB2.0-pc-card. I recycled an old 20G drive into an IBM-labeled USB interface external carrier. This has no external power supply; it's fed from *two* USB connectors. It works off the desktop OK but I don't care to try it on the (portege) laptop, which has a single USB slot. The reason I'm concerned - the spec on the disk has a peak power requirement of an amp at five volts; the maximum from a single USB socket is half an amp. I don't want to blow fuses - assuming that there are any there to blow :) Having said that - (a) I'd hope that the USB PSU is designed to shut down gracefully in case of overload, and (b) the case I bought only cost me a tenner (UK) from eBay, so if you have a disk lying around, it might be worth a try. At your own risk, of course :) Neil - Email provided by http://www.ntlhome.com/ ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

Re: Re: [LIB] External battery for my L50
Date: Sat, 1 Nov 2003 10:29:25 + From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Re: [LIB] External battery for my L50 From: PhotoEngineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nice. I've used sorta the same setup but I got a 1150 Pelican box and filled it with 11 D NiMH cells. They provide enough voltage to run stuff for a very long time and 11Ah cells could probably work really well for you. Plus the Libretto fits right on top with other electronics and its protected in case it rains since the Pelican box is water tight. A voltage regulator circuit will provide the proper voltage. Just flinging my oar in here with a couple of gotchas... I'm sure you will have found these already if you have ploughed through the archives, but just in case :). I'm also up to my ears at the moment so I haven't checked any of the sites but I'm assuming that you're using an external connector to the 15v jack? (1) the libs only require the 15v when external power is initially attached; thereafter they will work happily at 12v. This 15v trigger can be created with a diode/capacitor/switch; example on Xin's site IIRC. (2) if you are powering a lib from the 15v jack and the power to it drops below about 11v, the lib will silently drain the internal battery. However, it won't be in internal battery mode so it won't do a low-power hibernation or give any warnings.

Re: RE: [LIB] Hibernation partition
Date: Sun, 26 Oct 2003 9:10:46 + From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: RE: [LIB] Hibernation partition From: Fisher, Dave (IBM) [EMAIL PROTECTED] overlay software Not strictly true... I put a 20Gb drive into my CT100 and made as large a partition as I could using a plain DOS boot disk and FDISK. This created a partition which was 8Gb minus the space for the hibernation partition. I then rebooted and loaded Partition Magic (I imagine other freeware partition tools would work just as well). I then created a 200Mb partition at the end of the first one and marked it HIDDEN, then created a partition after that one to fill the rest of the disk. I then loaded Win98SE and it could see both the partitions and use all the disk... no overlay software required. Yup, I do the same with W98SE and Linux. But remember that once booted, neither linux, W98SE, and W2k+later use the bios to talk to the disc. Effectively they are their own overlay :) Neil - Email provided by http://www.ntlhome.com/ ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

I too was wondering if any one out there knows a UK company, either selling the battery packs or just compatible battery cells so that I could replace the one in the standard lib battery unit. Steve, I can't recall the UK suppliers immediately but I have found a few in recent months... search for batteries and neil in the archives.

Re: Re: [LIB] Reinstall OS for L50?
Date: Sun, 27 Jul 2003 16:43:42 + From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Re: [LIB] Reinstall OS for L50? From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1. Prepare a boot floppy using another PC running w98se. This floppy will load generic drivers for CDROM drives, and show you a menu (boot w/CD support, boot w/o CD support) on boot. 2. Attach your parallel port CD drive, then check that your L50 will boot from the W98 boot floppy. If it does, choose CD support from the menu and see if DOS sees your CD drive. If it does, you're ready to do the deed. 3. Restart the L50, choose No CD Support after booting from the floppy. Then run FDISK, setting up the hard drive as one large FAT32 partition (this will of course wipe out all your data programs stored on the hard drive.). Exit FDISK when that's done and FORMAT the drive using the format C: /s command. The L50 will set up a hidden space for the hibernation data. 4. Reboot and choose CD Support. Make a directory on C: and copy the entire W98se CD from your parallel CD drive to that directory. At this point the L50 should be capable of booting from the hard drive, and you can run Setup from the directory where the W98 CD was copied. Once Windows is happy, you can install the L50 drivers that you have previously downloaded from the Tosh site. Don't forget that you'll need the L110 W98 floppy driver for the floppy to work under W98. Couldn't have said it better myself, Lee! One point - the reason for copying the windows CD to the hard drive is (a) because it almost certainly won't run from the parallel port once the install starts and (b) so that the OS doesn't insist on the CD being present if you want to do something really difficult, say changing a network card. You can erase the directory after installation if you need the disk space.
