[comp.sys.laptops] Extended/Expanded Memory for Toshiba T-3100

hel@med.unc.edu (Mark Lefebvre) (03/25/91)

Does anyone know where an extended/expanded memory board can be obtained
for a Toshiba T-3100 other than from Toshiba.  Toshiba's board is 
incredibly expensive.  Many vendors sell such boards for virtually 
every other Toshiba laptop at an approximate price of $200.00 for 2 megs.
I have called every one of the vendors whom I have seen offering such 
boards for Toshibas and they all say that this board can only be had
from Toshiba.  Does anyone know why they are so readily available for 
other machines and not for the T-3100?

You can get a 2 meg expansion board for either the T-3100E or the T-3100SX 
from Tenex (800) 776-6781 for $189.95.  Is that what you're looking for?  I 
ran into the same trouble looking for memory for my Zenith once and found 
that aftermarket memory is MUCH more reasonable.

I ordered two Kingston 4-MB expansion boards for my T3100SX at $425
apiece.  Sigma Data, (800) 446-4525.

I have no idea whether 3100SX boards can be used in a 3100 (no SX).
