Boot from
Accurite Travel Floppy
Finally figured it out. Laptops4students was selling these,
and I picked one up. This is a combo PC Card (Passport Card) and external
floppy. The web page is HERE
.
Insert the Passport Card Without
the Cable Attached!
From the instruction sheet from Laptops4students- Now after
POST, you will see:

Connect Drive Cable and Insert Diskette
Press Any Key to Start Booting (Ed. where
is Any key? Next to Alt?)
Plug in the cable to the external floppy ( hint, have the silver
side of the plug facing up). Have the bootable floppy in the drive. The
screen will display
BUSY Loading Operating System
If the external floppy is connected to the Passport Card during boot,
you will be unable to boot from the floppy, but it will still work normally
for everything else.

Using an external
monitor
The "Display Selection" feature allows you to switch between
the computer display, an external monitor, or both as the active display.
To use an external monitor, first connect the monitor cable to the 15-pin
video port on the back of the computer. (Ed.
I think this is under W95 only. The POST does not display on my external
screen.)

1. Start>Settings>Control Panel>Display>"CHIPS" tab.

"CRT" to use the external monitor

Using the
Touch Screen
· Always use an approved stylus.
· Never use sharp, hard, or abrasive implements on the touch
screen such as ball point pens, pencils, or keys. They could damage the
screen.
· To clean the touch screen panel, apply a household glass cleaner
to a soft, clean, dry cloth and wipe the screen.
Calibrate

If you cannot select objects accurately with the pen, you may need
to recalibrate the touch screen.

Control Panel>Pen>General>Align Now button.
Follow the instructions on the screen to calibrate the touch screen.

Cleaning
or replacing the cradle contact pins
The contact pins on the vehicle cradle are exposed to contamination
and stress when the computer is installed and removed from the cradle during
normal daily operation. The pins were designed to be cleaned or replaced
as required.
If the pins become dirty, they can be removed and cleaned with
an electrical contact cleaner or replaced. The power and ground pins are
pins 3 and 8 respectively. When charging problems are encountered and replacement
pins are not available, other pins in the contact assembly can be used
to field fix the unit until replacement parts are available.
Note Pin 8 on RF units is an RF connector and is not user replaceable.
Contact your support desk for information about replacing this RF connector.
To remove and clean the contact pins
1. Hold down the protective plastic cover.
2. Grasp pin and pull straight up, be careful not to bend it during
removal.
3. Clean pin with electrical contact cleaner and resintall it into
contact assembly.
If a pin is bent or cannot be cleaned, contact your organization's
help desk to obtain a replacement pin.
Use Internal
Landline Modem
The modem is on COM3 and it can use either IRQ 4 or 11.
Make sure COM3 IRQ is set correctly. Failure to do so may cause some communication
programs to lock up. Use the SCU to View or change the IRQ setting.
