Libretto to go. GONE.
Time for my Libretto 110 to go GONE - SOLD
Like a full-size Tosh laptop (233) in a VHS sized box. Used on holiday to do rtty, psk31 and even packet radio. Come with Win2K.
Comes with a docking station, a mini-dock, a main-adaptor/charger and two batteries. Works with USB pen drives - I've had it working with a wireless PCMCIA card (it has two slots) . It's a nice little computer which has taken up very little space for holidays, yet has all the standard connections of most larger laptops. I'm selling (swapping?) it now because I have a Linux netbook and this is likely to not get used now. Its got many ham radio apps installed onto the 4GB hdd.
See these for lots of info on it:

£20+postage costs or swap something around the same value in coax, ATU, psu or a diamond 2m/70cm or 6m vertical.. or something ham radio interesting? (no promises). Im in Shropshire,
so locality makes it easier.

FT817, Acer Aspire One running Ubuntu and GMFSK
Here is a photo or two showing the little laptop in action - a response from W3FV halfway through. Ignore the cat cabin in the background.

Working.. Netbook, FT817 and Ubuntu Linux
Update on getting fldigi to work with my ft817 on an Acer Netbook in linux Ubuntu UNR remix.
I looked at the error and tested installing the portaudio library - but got the message back saying the latest version was already installed - I saw references to the dev libraryhere http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=447548 so installed it with
sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev and fldigi started up - after selecting hamlib in the config I got it to talk to the radio, showing the correct frequency.
Later.. after reading NE4PO's reply - I remembered .. Doh! Yes the 817 wouldn't send data modulated o/p unless it was set into "DIG" mode. I set that mode and it worked.
Finished, now I can leave the other laptops behind for the next holiday or /portable event.
I hope this helps in a small way.. Thanks Chris, Pat and others for help and advice.

Still no luck with audio into the radios mic.
