Sweet Ebay score - Libretto

[paul.brett]

I picked up a Toshiba Libretto CT100 with docking station for £20.

I managed to get it onto my unsecured 802.11b Wifi network, but the connection to the WPA secured 802.11g network eludes me. About 4 hours of faffing is my limit for today.

I tried to get NetStumbler installed for a bit of war-driving fun, but that was a bust too. Andy suggested I might want to try putting linux on it. Hmmm - maybe later.

A PCMCIA to USB card installation was straight forward, but USB flash memory sticks gave me about another ½ hour of trouble.

I just now got my Nokia Card Phone working on it. Interesting, but exceedingly slow.

Pretty cool little subnotebook/(palmtop?). You probably read this already but here's one person putting a fat16 version of slackware on his libretto http://www.lns.com/papers/libretto100/

The Libretto CT series are some of the coolest DOS gaming laptops. That was a great score! Congrats!
