I'm guessing that what he meant was that the L50/70
simply built upon an existing 486 system board. Instead
of designing a completely new board that had full
support for Pentium class architecture and features,
Toshiba modified the older ones. That would explain the
lack of USB support and no 32-bit cardbus. I imagine if
Toshiba had designed it to fully support the Pentium in
the L50/70, the price would have been significantly
higher than what it was, which was still pretty pricey
back then. Just my .02.
