Bios Update files

Procedure for Notebooks:

Just take a 1.4mb 3 1/2 floppy (nonbootable) and unpack the files to it. 
Turn off the machine, turn it back on while holding the F12 key or for 
newer machines, the key left of the space bar, and the rest is automatic. 

It is best to disconnect all peripherals while doing the update. 

If you are doing this for the 7010 or the 8000, make sure that the machine is 
not in the LAN Docker. This could erase your EPROM's.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON PCMCIA CARDS:

If you leave a PCMCIA card in the PCMCIA slot of your PC system during initial boot, 
the PC system BIOS will detect the PCMCIA card and send a 5 Volt electric potential 
to the PCMCIA slot. If the PCMCIA card in the slot has a 16bit/3.3V configuration, 
it is possible that the 5 Volt electric potential could damage the PCMCIA card. 

Please check your PCMCIA card, the user manual or contact the card manufacturer/supplier
to determine the specific configuration of your PCMCIA card. 
If you use or expect to use a 16bit/3.3V PCMCIA card, we strongly recommend that you 
download a modified BIOS from Toshiba's web site to your PC system prior to using the 
16 bit/3.3V card in order to avoid any possible damage. 
PCMCIA cards that offer a 16bit/5.0V, 16 bit/3.3V and 5.0V dual 
support or Card Bus Cards are not affected.
