From the beginning, the Libretto was designed for Win95. Its floppy, while plugging into the PCMCIA socket and looking exactly like a PCMCIA device, is NOT PCMCIA! It is controlled directly by BIOS if and only if, plugged in when booted. Therefore, without any special drivers, DOS or Windows will see the floppy as the a: drive. Because there are no 32-bit protected mode drivers, you will see under performance in the system properties tab that one or more devices are using compatibility mode... this reduces overall performance or words to that effect. But there's a much worse side effect: without special drivers ( called fdcmon.vxd which is a floppy-disk-not-present indicator ) every time you need to browse for a file, Windows looks for the floppy that you DIDN'T have plugged in from boot, and waits... and waits... and waits to see it. Only after the most part of a minute does it realize there IS no floppy and let you browse into the he c: drive. So, as part of the accessories package of programs ( or is it utilities- I never can remember ) is the fdc monitor. It allows you to shove in the floppy and have it recognized by PCMCIA, and also remove it gracefully, and most important, not wait and wait for the floppy. But even having the driver, Windows sees the floppy as compatibility mode meaning there are older 16-bit drivers. Well, they work fine, it's just a psychological thing. When Win98 first came out, they posted a 32-bit protected mode floppy driver which worked for Win98 and I believe Win95. But I stopped seeing it on the Toshiba websites. It's just annoying that once there was a better driver and I can't find it. Not to mention that the hairy light bulb is a better program, more flexible, that Win98's built-in power management, but I don't know the purpose of the Win98 Power Management Driver which adds a .vxd and a profile, but I am not sure if you should use both the hairy light bulb and Win98 or just one.

Is that problem in all file utilities... Windows Explorer, File Find, My Computer? It's especially troublesome when you try to install a piece of hardware. The system looks first for the proper driver on floppy, even if you have it safely stored on the HDD, which I always do. Until you properly install fdcmon.vxd ( which does NOT simply entail copying it to \Windows\System but rather some registry happenings too... ) you will have delays navigating to your c: drive Were you saying that there was a specific Toshiba W98 installation file specifically designed to address this problem with the FDD, and that it's not available any more from Toshiba? My memory is notoriously bad, but I don't recall ever installing anything that was specifically to address the FDD in W98. Looking through the files available at the Toshiba website for the 50CT: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modItemList.jsp?ProductMenu_0=PortablesProductMenu_1=LibrettoProductMenu_2=1073769618BV_SessionID=1997631851.1011077681BV_EngineID=fadcdcjkkmdmbfekcghcfmfdgli.0ListType=Modelmoid=1073769618smoid=truect=DLx=16y=15 (hmmm have fun reconstructing that one)... I sure don't see anything there addressing this, just a file for the FDD in NT. There are 3 files concerning W98, ones for display, sound (which contrary to discussion a couple years back, I did find necessary for sound in DOS), and power. The is a W95 file for accessories... but even through it may work in W98, I don't guess that would have anything that apply to the FDD. Do you recall just what the file was referred to that you say resolved this FDD problem, and installed the fdcmon.vxd file you mention?

[LIB] CT 110 Floppy

Am I wrong in assuming that it is a windows driver issue, due to the fact that it works fine from the start up disk. I have tried a couple of win98 floppy disk drivers off the web with no luck, one actually worked but reported the floppy as a drive d:\, which I did not like. I have searched thru the archives with no answers that seem to work being found. Hopefully someone on the group has gone thru this and would be willing to help. Sure I can use the floppy from a DOS start up but would rather have access from windows.

Re: [LIB] CT 110 Floppy

It is either under the 100CT listing or the 110CT listing.

Am I wrong in assuming that it is a windows driver issue, due to the fact that it works fine from the start up disk. I have tried a couple of win98 floppy disk drivers off the web with no luck, one actually worked but reported the floppy as a drive d:\, which I did not like. I have searched thru the archives with no answers that seem to work being found. Hopefully someone on the group has gone thru this and would be willing to help. Sure I can use the floppy from a DOS start up but would rather have access from windows.
