Yes, it would make sense that ediflorianUS is talking about his T3100e. Oops! Since it's so easy to swap compact flash cards, I tried Windows 3.1 on my monochrome T5200 (4 MB memory, '386 processor, no co-processor). Booted fine.

...(its CGA graphics right?)... No. It's VGA, 640 x 480 with 16 colors. I have Windows 3.1 running on a color T5200. The screen display creates some strange color combinations. They are not the same colors produced when a VGA monitor is connected to the port at the rear of the machine. EDIT: Not …

What other features do you feel like you are missing in these Toshiba's? Seems like you've already developed the killer product! Since the T5200 has ISA slots, that would seem to fill the expansion need. If anything is lacking, it would be a USB port. But since learning that compact flash uses the …

My apologies. I assumed you were in the US because of your username, and that there had been a currency conversion error. ConvectionalMemories' product is surely a labor of love -- not a moneymaking endeavor. I've designed low-volume products like that. After components, assembly, shipping, eBay and …

@fastopen Just remembered I have an original 100MB HDD (Conner CP-3104) available to measure. It's 154mm long x 102mm wide x 42mm high (oriented as it's intended to sit in the machine).

I would like to buy a T5200 in order to install on it a 3.5 half-height tall size miniscribe hard drive. Before buying it, can anyone help me checking if T5200 has enough room to install this drive? Is there the same room in T5200/100? Although I can't directly answer your question, the following …

There's a lot of discussion here regarding the T5200's CMOS battery. I'll add a few measurements/comments: If you connect a voltmeter in place of the battery with the machine running, you can measure the battery charging voltage. It's not constant. I've seen it start out as low as ~0.2V and ramp up …

What bios did you settle with in the end (Phoenix or Award)? Since I have two machines, I burned the Award BIOS for the second (especially since that's what was in it). Both are the himem versions. Can't say I can tell any difference in operation between the two. The Award BIOS seems to count up …

I actually have thee non-functional original floppy drives. Some electrolytic capacitors in all three had clearly leaked. I replaced those caps and left the ones that exhibited good ESR. Unfortunately, this did not restore any FDD to working condition. Just wanted to amend this. Turns out I was …

Thank you my03. I actually have thee non-functional original floppy drives. Some electrolytic capacitors in all three had clearly leaked. I replaced those caps and left the ones that exhibited good ESR. Unfortunately, this did not restore any FDD to working condition. It's difficult to say if all …

Firstly, a HUGE THANK YOU to the eBay seller who turned me onto this site, IanB and the admin(s) at VOGONS! I have two T5200s (one monochrome, one color) that I used until the late 1990s because they were a "portable" with an ISA slot. After sitting for 20 years, I did not have a single HDD or FDD …
