SRAM Card Recognition outside Poqet



Hi all,

I needed to configure my new lovely little Toshiba Libretto 50CT to read my
SRAM used on my Poqet.  I followed the instructions on this site and it
worked (using 16 bit drivers to Win98 although a WIN98 CD was necessary to
get 32bit drivers.)

Well, I *finally* got me hands on a Libretto!  At about the same size as the
Poqet with Pentium power to handle a full install of W98, this is my answer
to the Poqet upgrade dream.  I cannot wait to get this baby to run my
minimum, --no, CORE Window95 installation of ~3Mb!  Hopefully totally within
a ramdisk so that this baby could fly!  (Don't take me too seriously
et  --at 3Mb it has only enough files to get Explorer up.  Lot of
experimentation still needed...)

Of course even with a backlit VGA screen, it cannot compete with the Poqet
Classic for the sheer convenience of immediate raw data documents.  I do
love the 2 AA batteries needed to run Poqet and no spinning hard drive to
sap up the power.  I've also grown to love the convenience of Poqet's
dedicated "*" key.  It seem no other palmtop has adopted this extremely
helpful feature!

I have lost interest with fiddling with the Prolinear off-shoot the ME386
Palmtop since it is hard coded to boot into DOS5 only, therefore not even a
chance of running W95.  I am still looking for a copy of any Prolinear 386
manual though, and, also any tips that may allow hard-code units to boot
into OS's other than default.  If anyone in Poqetland can help, I would give
my left... uh...  How about just a copy of my Core95 Floppy configuration.

Of course, don't forget the Omnibook300's legendary OBMax!

Cheers!  --Bill
