Hi,
I bought the M200 this week and while I already enjoy working with it a lot, I still have some questions that I hope you can answer (I have read the FAQ several times):
1) While I was finally able to create a bootable image for the SD card that can read from my external USB hard drive and the CD/DVD drive, I still can't read my ordinary USB sticks under DOS. Also, I still lack NTFS support. Does anybody have an image ready with the necessary files so USB sticks and/or NTFS partitions can be used?
2) On this page (http://tabletpcbuzz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=16600&whichpage=1) it says to go to laptopvideo2go.com (http://www.laptopvideo2go.com) and for the M200. I did this, got the latest driver for XP32 (v165.01) and changed the RotateFlage entry (1 occurrence). However, when trying to update the driver manually, I could not find the right model number (Geforce FX Go5200). But there were two entries of the FX 5200, as well as one Go 6200 and one Go 7600.
So, which is the latest driver I can use? Could I also download the drivers from Nvidia directly and edit that .inf file? Is there any new information since the thread about the drivers has been started (2004)?
2b) Also, I googled for "Toshiba Rotation Utility" and found a newer version (4.00.00.07) than on the Toshiba Support page (3.00.00.03). Can I use newer version for the M200 or will that cause problems?
3) I remember that, during my research for the M200, I read that the pens are actually made by another company which sells them much cheaper. Sadly I can't remember which company that was (something with "W"?). Is it true that the pens don't last that long and is there another (inexpensive) pen that I can buy so that I only use the one from Toshiba on the road?
4) With F2 I can select the device to boot from - but how can I enter the setup (for a boot password, etc)???
Thank you for your time!
Kind regards
Markus
