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
