Dumping and Copying Toshiba BIOS ROM | 1.9 MB | How to dump and copy your BIOS from a T3200SX
This guide will walk you through the steps needed to dump and/or copy a BIOS ROM chip. This manual is especially helpful if you have a BIOS that doesn't accept custom hard drives, and you want to replace it with a version that does work with custom hard disks. Using the steps in this manual you can replace your BIOS with a BIOS version that allows you to use any hard drive in conjunction with the BIOS version found on this site (see download for t3200sx_bios_003ch.zip). An excellent guide written by High Treason.
Note: This guide may apply to other models as well. Use guide at your discretion. You will need a TL866 EEPROM programmer. Highly recommended that you buy a second HN27C1024HG-85 ROM chip and keep your original unmodified and in a safe place. |

Other utilities
File | Size | Description |
HDDID.EXE | 1.6 KB | Identifies parameters of your IDE HDD |
REBOOT.ZIP | 243 B | Performs cold boot with CTRL+ALT+DEL. |
ANYDRIVE.ZIP | 13 KB | This program will install inside the primary hard-drive's master boot record (MBR) and while booting, modifies BIOS parameters to accept custom hard-drives (assuming your BIOS version will allow this, see FAQ).
To install, make a bootable floppy and copy AnyDrive to it. Boot off the floppy, install AnyDrive on your HDD, then boot from the HDD per usual. The Anydrive documentation describes how to have Anydrive modify BIOS hard-drive settings and still boot from a floppy disk. Assuming you have a custom hard-drive that is larger than 512MB, you can install AnyDrive by running the command “ANYDRIVE 0 2048 16 63”. This will allow you to utilize the first 512 megabytes on the hard-disk. Once installed, just restart the computer. Please note that viruses may overwrite Anydrive from the MBR, so keep your favorite DOS virus scanner and Anydrive handy on a bootable read-only floppy. The reason you can only utilize 512 MB is because of the limitations in the BIOS addressing scheme. For more information, see the included text file. |
ROM dumps

t3200_all_roms.zip | 878 KB | T3200 | All ROM dumps from the T3200 computer. Includes dumps for the 8742 keyboard controller, graphics controller, hard disk controller and two BIOS ROM versions, 033C/034C V4.20B (1988-FEB-26), and 033E/034E V4.61 (1989-FEB-21). Courtesy of Hanno Foest. |
t3200sx_bios_003i.zip | 36 KB | T3200SX | 003I BIOS ROM. The newest (known) BIOS version for the T3200SX. This BIOS version will refuse to boot when it detects a non-oem and/or incompatible hard disk. Has a faster VGA BIOS than 003C. Courtesy of High Treason. Confirmed working. |
t3200sx_bios_003e.zip | 401 KB | T3200SX | 003E BIOS ROM. Curiously this BIOS has the text “T3200SX V3.10 TOSHIBA [..] Copyright (C) 1985-1989 Phoenix Technologies Ltd.[..] FOR EVALUATION ONLY”. Courtesy of RemyV. |
t3200sx_bios_003ch.zip | 47 KB | T3200SX | 003C/003I HYBRID BIOS ROM. This ROM copy has the 3C BIOS so you can use any hard drive, but also includes the faster 3I VGA BIOS. This reverse-engineered BIOS dump will detect an incompatible hard disk. You will also need Anydrive to set the HDD parameters (see ANYDRIVE.ZIP). Courtesy of High Treason. Confirmed working. |
