Any PCMCIA on will work Toshiba make one if you want aa matching one
mines NovaMax, Freecom are popular.
I've got a 3Com XJACK NIC, if you want 100Mb/s then that's OK as Tosh
support CardBus. Modem's anything I suppose or even a combo there is a
mention on the Tosh site that there can be some incompatabilities.
You can get SCSI cards as well, for any HDD, CDRW's etc if you want.

I installed 98SE, but it didn't reconise the USB on the advance port
repilicator,
So Me it was. I did it as you considering, the FDD was a bit of a bug bear
as well,
all the driver are avaliable from Toshiba Europe/US. Although there's
diffrent files on each one???

The files are split into the OS's that are supported, win2k isn't though.
I could work out how to get the 95 power driver installed.
Ones for the CD and floppy won't be an issue right
