I love the idea since a person can keep three or four drives- one for each operfating system and he doesn't have to mess with dual booting or have one mess up the other. Plus flash drives are so much more shock resistant and much faster, easier to carry around, etc. Compact flash adapters are all over the web and all I've seen are small enough to fit. One of the problems I have with just a CF adapter is that you are pretty much limited to 1 gig for now (unless there are higher capacity out now) . However with a type III adapter you can use CF plus all the type I, II and III cards which go up to 5 gig and they really don't use much more power- maybe 3 times as much as CF if you pick one of the Type II hard drives. A person can get lower power by picking a 2 gig Type III flash card or 1 gig CF (in a Type II adapter card) and gain in shock resistance if they wanted to. I've been looking at the Adtron type III and the specs on that one show the adapter is about 9.6mm high. It can be made thinner.

I would try pulling the hard drive, and memory board then rebooting in case one of them is corrupting it. If it won't at least boot to a drive you are pretty much sol unless you have a rom programmer and a copy of the bios to put in. It can be flashed though so it can be recopied in case you don't have and can find someone with the tools.

That's a minor point of concern for me, since the two hi-cap batteries died while plugged into a surge protector. The standard gave in after three blackouts in rapid succession (computing on Amtrak isn't as good an idea as you'd think, unless you're on the Acela.)

The bios can be replaced if you have a *720kB* formatted floppy with a bios image on it - I have 6.50 available on my web site at www.nbarnes.easynet.co.uk/Binaries/1014v650.exe which is iirc an executable which will build the proper disc image (it's a long time since I did one!). Once you have the image, start the machine with the f12 key pressed. *HOWEVER* it probably isn't the bios: symptoms sound more like dodgy memory. Try removing the expansion ram, and then reseating it. Maybe you can get into the bios by starting with the esc key pressed, then f1? Other thoughts - if the machine's had a thicker disk fitted without the disk spacers removed, it could have cracked the main mobo memory :( :( :( Maybe the bios battery? Leave the machine plugged to the mains overnight and then try?

If what I understand is correct, Toshiba laptops have a routine stored in a permanent (mask ROM?) area of the BIOS chip that loads BEFORE the routines in the flash ROM (presumably the thing that actually LOADS the flash ROM). These routines check for the F12 key and have enough of the floppy driver stuff on it to load the 'Toshiba key disk'. Presumably that's why it must be a 720kB disk. I'd expect the only way you could damage THAT information is to surge the chip or get it caught in an electromagnetic pulse or something of that nature ... - Raymond --- /~\ | | Does fuzzy logic tickle?| | ___ | My HDD has no reverse.

Tell you the truth, I don't know. I have no evidence, but have postulated that there's a writable bit and a non-writable bit of the eeprom, or two eeproms - one of which holds the basic loader. Only needs to be probably 256 bytes to get the first sector, after all... I do know I've rebuilt non-starting and otherwise crashed bioses using it though, though I'd think one of the other causes I mentioned as being more likely.
