Hi,
I've recently got my hands on a Toshiba T1850 laptop & it works perfectly after fixing the LCD which just required a recap. My only issue is the floppy drive which refuses to work even after replacing the drive belt. I've got myself a SD to IDE adapter & after flashing the firmware found from one of the threads in here the laptop detects it as a 120MB hard drive perfectly, but I need to install MS DOS & WIndows onto the SD card but without a floppy drive I cant do this.
I was wondering if there was an emulator that I could hook up to the laptop or even set the SD card up on a virtual machine to be able to boot it, but I have tried VirtualBox & VMware to try and setup the SD card with just the basic MSDOS. I just get on one 'missing operating system' or 'Use Toshiba Basic'.
I did have a thought of cloning the old hard drive but Windows refuses to mount the drive on the docks I have tried.
Any help would be grateful.
