[LIB] Which 100CT chipset and cardbus controller?
Date: Tue, 18 May 2004 05:34:59 + From: "Matt Hanson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Which 100CT chipset and cardbus controller? I'm hoping David, or someone might know which chipset and cardbus controller the 100CT is using. The only info on chips I see on Adorable Libretto for the 100CT are these: * Graphics Chip NeoMagic NM-2160 * Sound Chip Yamaha OPL3 SA3 The info for the Indigo IO sound card on the Echo wesbite says that their card has been successfully tested with all Intel chipsets, meaning the main MB controller chipset. But I see no such info anywhere for such a beast on the 100CT. The other thing I need is the type of cardbus controller. Responding to a question about the Indigo IO sound card on a Toshiba Libretto, Echo tech support replied saying that the only problem they've seen on Toshiba notebooks is with ENE cardbus controllers. Anyone have any info about these things?

I believe the Cardbus controller on my 110 is a Toshiba ToPIC 97 (according to Win98SE Device Manager and the linux PCMCIA developer). Have no idea on the motherboard chipset though. Does the card or software have a suggested minimum CPU? An important point is that that suggestion may assume you have a L2 cache which the Libretto does not in models 110 and below. That can be a significant performance hit which could cause problems with something requiring a continuous stream like audio.

From: Jim Drouillard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I believe the Cardbus controller on my 110 is a Toshiba ToPIC 97 (according to Win98SE Device Manager and the linux PCMCIA developer). Hey Jim, 'Device Manager' ...doh! Didn't think of that. I've got a couple different USB controllers on my 100CT: * NEC USB Open Host Controller [E13+] * USB Root Hub Is the 'Open Host Controller' basiically what you're seeing in your 110 as a 'Toshiba ToPIC 97'? And out of curiosity, do you have the 'USB Root Hub' device in the 110 Device Manager too Jim? Have no idea on the motherboard chipset though. Oh gee what the heck was that free software that reports system components... I just saw it breezing by something the other day, and didn't think of grabbing it. Don't know if it gets that specific though. Does the card or software have a suggested minimum CPU? The Indigo IO user manual only specifies the following system requirements: http://www.echoaudio.com/Downloads/Manuals/Indigo%20Windows%20Manual%202.0.pdf "A laptop computer running Windows Me, 2000, or XP with a Type II CardBus slot A minimum 128Mb of RAM (256Mb highly recommended) Peripheral audio equipment, such as headphones, studio monitors, microphones, musical instruments, etc." I asked their tech support about the 128MB RAM requirement, and if it was for the bundled software, the card itself, or both. And it seems it's really only for the software the card comes with. The MAC version specifies a G3 or G4 Powerbook running OS X 10.2, though I'm not familiar with MAC CPUs. An important point is that that suggestion may assume you have a L2 cache which the Libretto does not in models 110 and below. That can be a significant performance hit which could cause problems with something requiring a continuous stream like audio. Well... I'm using copies of old audio recording software that were written for MBs and Intel CPUs of this vintage, and looking at CPU usage while recording with SoundForge (the software that seems to work the best), I'm only seeing SF consume ~50% of CPU resources, with misc system components taking 10-15%, and the rest free and available. But for some reason, maybe associated with the hardwarew in the 100CT, there's just nothing I can set that gets rid of these little clicks in the recorded signal every few seconds. I think I may just try finding a store that carries one of these Indigo IO cards, and then take the Libretto down there, and let them try setting it up. A salesman at a local Guitar Center told me he'd be willing to try that for me.

ToPIC97 shows up under 'PCMCIA socket' (in Win2k it's 'PCMCIA adapters'); USB controller is not actually part of Libretto. You should only see that if you are using the Enhanced Port Replicator or a Cardbus USB card. >Oh gee what the heck was that free software that >reports system >components...

According to WCPUID the chipset is 'Toshiba 601'; CPU-Z also shows model 601. Jim __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
