Are there any enhancements or speedups available for the Toshiba T1000, other than the official RAM and disk stuff from Toshiba? For example is there a cpu speedup with a clock or cpu change? Is there extended memory more economical than the Toshiba offering? Given how many of these they must have sold, I'm surprised I haven't seen any one man companies specializing in various enhancements. You can still see ads for such dealers for PC Jr stuff. Maybe I just don't look in the right place. -- Ken Mandelberg | km@mathcs.emory.edu PREFERRED Emory University | {decvax,gatech}!emory!km UUCP Dept of Math and CS | km@emory.bitnet NON-DOMAIN BITNET Atlanta, GA 30322 | Phone: (404) 727-7963

I have seen two enhancements to the standard T1000. I think both were advertised in Computer Shopper. These are a backlit screen conversion kit (which presumably voids any warranty), and a higher speed modem from some third party source. I am also interested in upgrades. To be specific a larger RAM disk. My normal usage of the machine is to keep WordPerfect 4.2 and Procomm on the RAM disk. I would, however, be much happier with WordPerfect 5.0 and Procomm Plus, for compatibility with my office system. A 2MB RAMdisk would be a big plus for me, particularly given the lack of a hard disk. I notice that the new T1000SE is supposed to have an optional 2MB RAM disk, though I have no idea whether it is compatible with the older T1000. Gordon Marwood Internet: marwood@ncs.dnd.ca
