I see refurbs of the companion floppy external drives on eBay but I'd rather not be having a paltry 1.4 floppy to move files about. Given that, can anyone suggest the cheapest way to transfer files from my fancy PC to this old Libretto? I normally run Win XP but I have an older Win95 based Gateway 2000 desktop in the closet I could dig out if that would be easier to work the file transfer business with. I spent more for this toy than I wanted too and it's distracting me from my play time with all my Commodores and RS/Tandy toys, Atari's and my other 8-bits. So, BASICally soon as I get some BASIC files on the Libretto I'll be happily programming along. Being an old fart I just want a tiny little machine I can sit in my rockin' chair and run GWBASIC on. The Libretto 50 only accepts 16bit PC cards and I'm understanding USB requires 32bit. Ideally I'd like to stick a PC card in the one and only slot and use my USB thumb drive into that for transferring files from my PC to the Libretto. I've been stumbling around the Web for quite some time today trying to learn enough about PC cards to make a decision on what is the best way to go with being able to put files and programs onto the Libretto. Anyway it won't be arriving with it's companion floppy drive. I've picked up a Toshiba Libretto 50CT, (it's in the mail). Wondering if anyone can give me a bit of info here. ![]()
