PROJECT OF THE MONTH

Mike G writes: ...I use my T100X vertically...I mounted it with velcro in a Mead Five-Star Orgainizer Cover ...The notebook cover worked out well... it was only $5 and I simply removed the 3 ring binder that was in it and velcroed it in(carefully applied ofcourse)! ...It's a rugged cloth with a stiff cardboard and padding cover with a velcro closure. The inside holds a 3 ring binder(which you remove) and it leaves you usable pockets. It creates a very good protecter for little $$.

1. Did you add the strap to keep the notebook closed?
No. It's part of the "planner" when you buy it. I did tape in that piece of foam that covers the glass when closed... just a little extra protection.

2. Did you just taped velcro to the back of the T100X to keep in in place?
Yes. I used those self adhesive strips you can get at most stores.

3. Did you add "Intel Inside" sticker?
NO! When I bought mine it was advertised as an Intel Chip and the sticker was on it... Made me wonder if maybe part of my "refurb" included a new chip? I've asked others the question with no response. Mine also had an Energy Star Compliand sticker on it that fell so I stuck in on the back.

Resume mode and the PCMCIA modem
When I am in resume mode and boot up, my modem doesn't work. Is there a fix? The manual mentions APM.SYS and POWER.EXE as a solution. I need to investigate this further.

New Deal/GEOS running on your machine?
Robert Housley writes: "On another note, do you know anyone who has set up either GEOS or NEW DEAL 97 to work on the T100x? I'm having some problems getting it to run. Would be willing to write up an article about it for posting to the web page."

Linux on the T100X!
It has been done. Contact byron@cc.gatech.edu. He is running a stipped down version of Linux minus X Windows. I believe he will start working on it later mid-1997. I was planning to run Linux on my machine, but Windows has more software and resources for help. Maybe, I should get another T100X.

Peter Milford is working on an inexpensive RF link between his T100X and PC. "Interlnk did not work over it, as it requires a 7 line serial connection (extra handshaking) - What I am trying to do is connect to the internet via the RF link and my (internal) 28.8 modem - any ideas? (The RF link is a national Semiconductor AirShare link, I think they are long out of production.)"

Please contact Peter if you can help.

Peter also writes: ...I did a quick search of the net for upgrade chips for the AM386SLV and did find any obvious ones - is there space inside the case? There is a Cyrix upgrade chip that will attach ontop of a surface mounted 386SX - so perhaps there is hope!

Bryan says: While I was in there, I took the CPU board off to take a look. The CPU is an AMD, and is the 25MHz part. I was hoping to find a speed jumper, or an easily replacable crystal, but the machine seems to use a clock generator. There is (probably) not enough room for one of the press-on 386SX to 486 CPU upgrades either; those require about 1" clearance I think.

Let's find out how much clearance is required for those press-on 386 to 486 upgrades before we close this item.
