********************************** 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
F12 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 F12
installation method is the quickest.

It is recommended that all PCMCIA cards be removed from the system prior to
upgrading the BIOS.  Also advisable is removing the computer from an attached
DeskStation V or DeskStation V Plus or NoteDock Enhanced Port Replicator.

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 or Win-OS2, 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 PKUnZip or WinZip, you can
create the installation diskette by executing the INSTINFO program from the
DOS command prompt.

Install this BIOS using the following steps:

WINDOWS 95/98 or Windows NT 4.x:

      o Close all open programs
      o Insert the BIOS installation diskette into your diskette drive (A:)
      o Click Start
      o Click Shutdown
      o Click the radio button next to "Restart the computer?"
      o Click Yes

WINDOWS 3.x:

      o Close all open programs
      o From Program Manager, click on File/Exit Windows
        Windows exits to a MS-DOS command prompt
      o Insert the BIOS installation diskette into your diskette drive (A:)
      o Press Ctrl-Alt-Del (press and hold the <Ctrl> and <Alt> keys and press
        the <Del> key) to restart the system

OTHER OPERATING SYSTEMS

      o Close all open programs
      o Shut down the operating system
      o Insert the BIOS installation diskette into your diskette drive (A:)
      o 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.  When the Flash BIOS
installation is complete, the success message is 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 by executing it from a DOS prompt or it 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 1283D800.EXE, and
needs a parameter of A: (1283D800 A:) to successfully create the diskette in
drive A:

The self-extracting diskette image, 1283D800.EXE, will run under MS-DOS or a
command prompt under Windows 95/98, 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 will cause the self-extracting image to abort.  Long
directory names are supported under OS/2.



2) F12 INSTALLATION METHOD
---------------------------

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

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

The F12 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 F12 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.'

Insert the diskette that contains CHGBIOSA.EXE and BIOFC15T.COM,
and press any key.  The CHGBIOSA program will automatically load the
BIOFC15T.COM file.

3) RUN CHGBIOSA.EXE 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 3.x, Windows 9x,
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, BIOFC15T.COM is located.  Enter
the complete path and file name. Example: C:\1403TV80\BIOFC15T.COM.

NOTE!
-----

If your path for BIOFC15T.COM is anywhere other than the root directory
of the A: drive (A:\BIOFC15T.COM), CHGBIOSA 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 BIOFC15T.COM file.

   Example: CHGBIOSA C:\1403TV80\BIOFC15T.COM


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

Version 8.00  03-01-2000
  o  A rare "blue screen" problem was corrected.  If VGA Segment Address is
     set to E400h, a problem could occur while Windows 2000 is running.
  o  The problem of running the CPU Throttling Test in the ACPI test ( HCT
     (Hardware Compatibility Test)), which resulted in an error, was
     corrected.
  o  A problem was corrected when running the USB Test in ACPI test ( HCT )
     which resulted in an error.
  o  Corrected a porblem that, when" USB Legacy = Enable " was set in the
     Setup, then striking the PAUSE key several times, would cause the key
     to repeat on it's own.
  o  If the Panel Power ON/OFF in the setup was set to "Enable", and the
     system went into hibernation mode, with the panel closed; connecting
     the AC adapter and opening the display panel, could result in the
     computer waking up.  This problem was corrected.
  o  A change was made to support the Enhanced Port Replicator IV
     (PA3024U).
  o  When a machine was docked with Enhanced Port Replicator IV (PA3024U)
     under Windows 98 / 95, and CRT mode was selected, hot-undocking caused
     no display on the internal LCD (display would not switch from external
     to internal).  This problem was corrected.


Version 7.70  02-18-2000
  o  A change was made to support Windows 2000.
  o  A problem of data corruption was corrected when copying a file to a
     120MB Floppy Diskette.  Using a SuperDisk (LS-120), when using Windows
     95 / 98, opening the copied file under DOS mode of Windows 95 /
     Windows 98, data of the file in a field of more than 50MB would be
     corrupted.
  o  Installing a driver from the Floppy Diskette was impossible when a new
     device was detected during Windows 98 installation.


Version 7.60  07-21-1999

     first starts receiving current to the time the chipset resets.  Time
     was increased from 10ms to 20 ms.
  o  Corrected a possible problem with Windows 2000 on the Japanese
     domestic models of this computer.
  o  Corrected a bug in the Intel Pentium IIX4 processor in Windows 98.


Version 7.40  04-26-1999
  o  Corrected a problem that would not allow for the installation of
     Windows 2000
  o  Corrected a problem that would not allow the use of the Xircom
     Ethernet card 10/100+Modem56
  o  Corrected a problem returning from hibernation under Windows 98 when
     USB Legacy Emulation was set to "Enable"
  o  Corrected a problem of properly emulating COM port when running
     Windows 2000
  o  Corrected a problem in Windows 2000 that caused a reboot to hang when
     using a CardBus card in the computer.  The problem was caused by an
     intermittent failure of the CardBus card to reset when the computer
     was powered off.
  o  Corrected an intermittent resume failure problem when running Windows
     2000
  o  Corrected an intermittent failure of the AccuPoint mouse after
