Subject: Back on the list, back on the Libby



Well, I've just bought a U100 for an irresistable price as clearance



Does anyone have any information on what physical size the drive in
the unit is, and moreover have any teardown or disassembly
instructions?  I've searched but couldn't find anything on google or
the list apart from one chap who tried to get the machine apart but
failed because of a ribbon cable still holding things together so it
sounds quite involved.


Try here:
  http://www.silverace.com/libretto/librettocontent.html
  (no info on model)
or
  http://repair4laptop.org/disassembly_toshiba.html
(no mention of a LibU100, but perhaps it'll come...)

or use www.webarchive.org or google/yahoo/mssearch cache to look in 
older toshiba web pages.


Little traffic on this list these days :-(

Good luck,

Philip

I agree, Philip...was wondering lately if list was even working anymore...


FWIW,everyone, I've been thru several little devices in the past year; HTC 
Advantage, Kohjinsha SH6, Sony UX90S, OQO E2, and now settled in with a Fujitsu 
U810 that I really enjoy and hope to keep for awhile!!!


Still could use a display for my ol' Libby 100, if anyone can part with one or 
knows where to get one reasonably

Hi ..

I have a U100 that completed a few days ago 2 years in my hands ..

I also wrote this not up-to-date page ..
http://www.inf.ufrgs.br/~jaatavaresf/Libretto_U100/
.. that everytime someone asks me about linux+libby, I remember to
update ..

I have lots of pictures and stuff related to it .. If you don't find the
docs you're looking for, return the contact and I'll take a look here ..

I bought 1GB a few days ago and I'm waiting for it to arrive from the
US..

They had all of the Toshiba press announcement conferences in the past, and I
know they had one for the U100 launch.  The U100 was displayed with a special
clear case that let you see where all of the inner components were located.
This would help with disassembly, although it'll still take some thinking to
get at the HDD.

I'll post the image from the site in the next post - I don't know if this will
reach everyone, or get filtered by the list server.
