Sorry I haven't been on lately because of some work projects....and playing with Windows Vista on some (not tablet) machines.

I have been playing with some older machines lately in my spare time though, one being the Ramline510 I mention I was waiting for in my profile (YES, its a fun and...[ahem]..."challenging" machine)

Lately, just been playing with reviving an old Toshiba Libretto 70CT I had dropped to the pavement about a year ago. I know it isn't a tablet PC, but has MANY of the same issues when it comes to reloading one of these from scratch. Its little 6.1 inch LCD still runs, but has about a half inch of vertical white lines on the left side....I likely mortally wounded one corner of the glass when it tumbled last year.

I upgraded the CPU in the Ramline510 from a P3-500Mhz to a 750Mhz when I learned it was socketed and not surface-mounted (soldered) to the board like the old AmityXPs were. (It also had some handy DIP switches for playing with the clock and multipliers). I also found that it will support a 256meg module as long as it is a 16-chip item. So the Ramline510 is upgraded now from a P3-500 with 128megs, to a P3-750 and 256megs. Those two mods and upgrading it to the maximum 32gig drive made it plenty capable of running XPproSP2 now. I mentioned in the profile that I enjoy BUILDING and modding the machines.....and then try and think of something I wanna do with it LATER...LOL, so it is currently just a picture-frame and MP3 player that sounds terrible (Ramline has LOUSY onboard speakers, but they are stereo....and I'll likely hack some better speakers in place of the two REAL tiny ones at some point).....The CPU upgrade makes it run a bit warm, and I have no battery for this thing yet, so no other pending projects. I would like to later use it to maybe run the remote application for my Sony Aibo robots.

I am also in the process of resurrecting a Toshiba Libretto 110CT (Pentium233, 32megs). It will have 64megs, 80gig drive and be overclocked to a paltry 266Mhz when I am done inside. Its small, REALLY cute and has a 7.1" LCD screen.....so should be good for some total teardown and repaint, customization of the case for some fun project. I may try and do some experimenting with putting Ubuntu (Linux) or something unusual on it. If this doesn't net much joy, it will likely just run WindowsME or just 98se (or dual-boot Linux/98se if I get REAL brave). I may attempt to run XPpro on the thing, but thats REALLY pushing 266Mhz and 64megs. These old machines tend to have problems running PCMCIA cards in XP and such old hardware.
