View, CA Lines: 243 Contained in this post, and in several following, are some useful text files I pulled off the Toshiba BBS. I figured that since I had to pay for a long distance phone call to get all this stuff, that the rest of Usenet could benefit from it too. Since I didn't see a copyright notice anywhere on the BBS or on this material, I can only assume it is public domain. DISCLAIMER -- I have no affiliation with Toshiba, except as a happy customer. Neither I nor Silicon Graphics is responsible for what happens if ill fortune becomes you from using the information posted here. phones: 300/1200/2400 (714) 837-4408 U.S. Robotics HST 9600 (714) 837-2722 Hayes 9600 V.42 (714) 837-2116 list of files on Toshiba-specific section of the BBS: **** The "coolest" Utility EVER for Toshiba Laptops TOSHUTIL.ZIP 9446 04-19-90 V4.01 of the MUST HAVE Toshiba utility. **** T1000 Utilities T1000UTL.ZIP 158 01-14-88 Archive of T1000 utilities listed below 10CRT.COM 10 12-16-87 Switches T1000 display to the CRT 10LCD.COM 10 01-06-88 Switches T1000 display to the LCD 10THIN.COM 10 01-13-88 Switches T1000 LCD font to single pixel 10FAT.COM 10 01-13-88 Switches T1000 LCD font to double pixel BACK1000.ZIP 3496 09-02-89 Backup HardRAM using PKZIP ZBACK.ZIP 3485 09-21-89 Backup utility for T1000 HardRAM T1000BAT.TXT 9128 07-13-88 Informative file about the T1000's battery PERIPHEX.TXT 5289 02-09-90 Info on 3rd party batteries for the T1000.
