 +===== System Expansion =====
 +==== Hard disk, audio and ethernet ====
 +You can now purchase an adapter for the Toshiba proprietary expansion slot that has XT-IDE that can support many types of IDE and CF hard disks. Optionally you can also add audio (Adlib) and ethernet support (partially NE2000 compatible). ​

 +** How can I replace the hard drive? **\\
 +Currently the best option for this laptop model is to use the Toshiba proprietary expansion slot. There is a maker on eBay that sells expansion cards with XTIDE to allow many different types of IDE and CF cards to be used on the portable computer. ​

Line 58: Line 67:
 **A: **The BIOS battery is located on the system board. You can replace it with an original part, or alternatively,​ get a CR2032 coin cell battery holder, a CR2032 lithium battery and a diode. The diode is required to avoid charging the battery. Take the old battery connector and its wires, solder the coin cell holder to the wires and solder the diode in series as such: \\ **A: **The BIOS battery is located on the system board.

 +**Q: How can I add ISA cards, for XT-IDE and others?**\\
 +**A: **For this you need the Toshiba ISA expansion chassis. The expansion port is proprietary but apparently has all the ISA lines, DMA and IRQ, but uses a different connector. I was informed that the part numbers were 8800-040-170L-F and 8800-060-170L-F. These are stocked by RS Electronics,​ if you'd be interested to build an adapter.
