I should add that the BIOS was at 6.20. I have since installed 6.40, the
last BUIOS version for the 70CT.

I loaded a fresh copy of Win98 on my 70CT. Once loaded it does not
recognize the Toshiba PCMCIA floppy drive. You need a driver for the
Y-E DATA-EXTERNAL FDD
I could not find any floppy drivers for the 70CT but did locate one on
Toshiba's site for the 110CT. I loaded it anyway (via network) and it
works fine fine with the 70CT.

I finally got an Enhanced Port Replicator for the 70CT. This really makes
loading & configuring the 70CT much much easier! Full keyboard, mouse, &
monitor plus two PCMCIA slots really open up this laptop.
I loaded the Win98 CAB files and all the 70CT^ drivers I cound find on the
HD while the HD was attached to another coputer. Have the PCMCIA ethernet
drivers on the hard drive made it easy to get Win98 up and running.
I also copied the IE 6.0 folder from a QuickBooks 2003 disk that made
loading IE 6 go significanlly faster than downloading it from Microsoft's
site.
WinZip and Adobe Reader are also required utils to load.
