********************************** CAUTION! *********************************
*****************************************************************************

During the upgrading of your computers BIOS, if the computer loses power or
fails to complete the process of upgrading the BIOS, the existing BIOS in
the computer may become damaged. In the event of this occurring, the
BIOS Key Installation Method, described below, can be used to recover from
this error condition.

If you are upgrading a number of computers with this BIOS, the BIOS Key
installation method is the quickest.

It is recommended that all PCMCIA cards be removed from the system prior to
upgrading the BIOS.  Also recommended is detaching the computer from any
docking device (Desk Station, port replicator, etc.) which may be attached.

It is not unusual to see a CMOS error when you first reboot the computer after
installing the new BIOS.  If you see this message on your screen, press F1 as
instructed.  This displays the "TSETUP" screen. Press <End> to save the CMOS
data.  You won't see the CMOS error again.


******************** BIOS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS *************************
*****************************************************************************

There are three ways to install this BIOS version:

1) Use the bootable diskette that is automatically created by the Windows
   UnZip process (Recommended)

2) At startup by holding down the F12 key.

3) Run CHGBIOSA.EXE at the command prompt.

*****************************************************************************


1) BOOT DISKETTE INSTALLATION METHOD (Recommended)
--------------------------------------------------

This release of the electronic distribution BIOS utilizes a self-extracting
ZIP file that, when run under Windows XP, 2000, 9x, Me, or NT creates a 
bootable BIOS installation diskette.

Since you're reading this, you were obviously able to extract the downloaded
file.  If you also created the BIOS installation diskette as a part of the
extraction process, you're ready to follow the installation instructions
below.

If you didn't create the installation diskette during the extraction phase,
or if you extracted the downloaded file with WinZip or PKUnZip, you can
create the installation diskette by executing the INSTINFO.BAT program from
the DOS command prompt.

Install this BIOS using the following steps:

      o Close all open programs
      o Insert the BIOS installation diskette into your diskette drive (A:)
      o Shut down the operating system.  With Windows, you may choose to 
        Restart rather than shutting down.
      o If necessary, restart the computer by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del or
        turning the computer OFF then on again

The computer will boot MS-DOS from the BIOS installation diskette, and
initiate the Flash BIOS installation routine.  Please note that on systems
where only a USB-connected diskette drive is supported, you can force the
computer to boot from the USB-connected diskette by holding down the "U" key,
when powering-on the system.


When the Flash BIOS update is complete, a message like the one below will be
displayed:


        Please push the RESET SW (or turn AC power OFF/ON) to restart!

                             ROM Write Successful!
                               Utility Finished!



Eject the diskette from drive A: and turn the computer OFF then ON, or press
the reset switch to restart your computer.


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THIS RELEASE
---------------------------------------------

If you are unable to use the Windows self-extractor, the self-extracting
ZIP archive can be extracted using PKUNZIP 2.04G or an equivalent UnZIP
utility.  A DOS batch file, INSTINFO.BAT is provided in the ZIP archive
which will create the BIOS installation diskette.

If all else fails, you can execute the self-extracting diskette image 
manually.  This file is named 1333D16.EXE, and needs a parameter of A:
(1333D16.EXE A:) to successfully create the diskette in drive A:

The self-extracting diskette image, 1333D16.EXE, will run under MS-DOS
or a command prompt under Windows 9x, Me, XP, 2000, NT, or OS/2.

PLEASE NOTE that long directory names in  the path where the self-extracting
image file is stored under Windows 9x or NT/2K may cause the self-extracting
image to abort with a cryptic error message referencing "OS/2".  If you see
such a message, make sure the path where 1333D16.EXE is stored
conforms to the DOS 8.3 naming convention.



2) BIOS KEY INSTALLATION METHOD
---------------------------

Your Toshiba computer has a special keyboard function to install an
updated BIOS image.

To use this function, hold down the F12 key while the computer is
powered on.  The computer MUST be in BOOT mode, not Resume mode

This installation method will only work with the internal keyboard.  If
your computer is docked with the display closed and you are using an external
keyboard, the computer will need to be undocked and the internal keyboard's
F12 key used.

When the computer starts up with the BIOS key depressed, the following
message appears:

'Ready for BIOS update. Place the BIOS diskette in the drive, and press
any key when ready to proceed.'

On some models (Satellite 5005 and others) where a system status LCD is
included, this and all messages displayed during the BIOS key installation
processs will appear in the system status LCD rather than on the main
display panel.

Insert the diskette that contains CHGBIOSA.EXE and BIOFC61T.COM,
and press any key.  The CHGBIOSA program will automatically load the
BIOFC61T.COM file.


3) RUN CHGBIOSA AT THE COMMAND PROMPT
-----------------------------------------

The CHGBIOSA program is designed to be run from the MS-DOS command
prompt.  It cannot be run in a DOS box inside of Windows, OS/2 or other 
operating systems.  It also will not run if a Memory Manager, like EMM386,
is loaded.

The CHGBIOSA program can be run from a floppy disk, hard drive, or
PCMCIA drive.  However, you will need a floppy diskette (high or low density)
in your A: drive at the time the CHGBIOSA program is run.

When the CHGBIOSA program is executed by itself, it will prompt you
to specify where the BIOS image file, BIOFC61T.COM is located.  Enter
the complete path and file name. Example: C:\4820V16\BIOFC61T.COM.


NOTE!
-----

If your path for BIOFC61T.COM is anywhere other than the root directory
of the A: drive (A:\BIOFC61T.COM), CHGBIOSA.EXE will copy the BIOS image
file from its current location to the root directory of A: drive.


Optionally, the CHGBIOSA program can also be run from a single command
which includes the path to the BIOFC61T.COM file.

   Example: CHGBIOSA C:\4820V16\BIOFC61T.COM


CHANGE HISTORY
--------------

Version 1.60  04-09-2002

     (AS-A100RW) made by NTT Data doesn't work via RS232C.
   o Corrected a problem where key input failure can occur when pressing
     three or more keys on the same scan line simultaneously.
   o A work-around was provided to correct a problem where it takes too long
     for the system to boot under low temperatures (0 degree C).
   o A change was made to correct a hang after repeated Standby under Windows
     2000.
   o A change was made to correct a problem where, if the boot priority is
     set to CD-ROM, it takes a long time to boot if a music CD is in the
     CD-ROM drive.
   o A change was made to correct a failure where some CRTs will not display
     when set to 1024x768 simultaneous display mode.
   o A change was made to correct an intermittent KBC error at system boot
     when a 4 Port Compact KVM switch made by LINKSYS is connected to the LAN
     Dock.
   o A change was made to correct an OS problem where intermittently during a
     battery charging process the CPU will jump to 100% utilization under
     Windows 2000.


Version 1.50  07-10-2001
   o A change was made to correct a problem that some PC cards with a single
     spec for 16 bit and 3.3VDC may malfunction.


Version 1.40  03-30-2001
   o A change was made to support the heat control parameter.
   o A problem of a Wake On LAN setting failure during Hardware Setup under
     Windows 98 was corrected.
   o An infrequent hang problem when hot docking while running Windows 95 was
     corrected.

     the following speeds; PIII - 900MHz and PIII 1GHz.  (CPU voltage value.)
   o A hang problem was corrected when using the Fingerprint PC card.  Warm
     docking/undocking would cause the computer to hang when the computer was
     attempting to resume.
   o Since Intel updated the spec of a register, settings related to the
     register was added (AGP related.)
   o Corrected a problem with Plug-and-Play resource of the dock codec, that
     wasn't reported even though the computer was properly docked to the
     Enhanced Port Replicator V.
