    Your post got me thinking and searching as I have a Toshiba Libretto here:

    CPU: Processor revision 1.4.1.0, 800 MHz
    CPU: Code Morphing Software revision 4.2.9-8-344
    CPU: 20020222 15:08 official release 4.2.9#1
    CPU: Transmeta(tm) Crusoe(tm) Processor TM5800 stepping 03

    I couldn't find any traces to CMS updating (even on Windoze).

    Tried Toshiba site, Transmeta site, Google.

    Is there any way at all to update it (even from Windoze)?

    Just send an e-mail inquiry to Transmeta Inc., will post any answer here.

    Kalin.
