hi, i have three questions: 1) what's the latest version of ms-dos available for the toshiba 1100+ and where can i get it for the least amount of money? 2) i know there are third party manufacturers for 5-1/4" disk drives for this machine, but i don't know who they are. who are they? and what do they charge? (i'm interested mainly in drives that plug into the parallel port -- not the card cage (which i don't have).) 3) i need a new battery pack. it looks like the one in the machine is really four nicad d-cells with some funny wiring all sealed in shrinkwrap. the battery pack costs about $80 from toshiba; the d-cells cost $10 at target. has anyone out there done this surgery and created a new, working, cheap (notice the common theme beginning to emerge here) toshiba 1100+ battery pack? if so, please give me advice. if not, i'll be happy to share my experience whenever my busy schedule calms down enough to let me give it a shot. thanks in advance for any help you can give. -geo --- George D.
