Unfortunately, the external floppy drives for the Toshiba are still a little on the expensive side. Does anybody have a pinout for the 3.5" floppy port on the side of the T1000XE? Is it possible to buy a drive, connector and cable, put it together, and hook it up? cjs -- Curt_Sampson@mindlink.UUCP (Vancouver, B.C., Canada) {uunet|ubc-cs}!van-bc!rsoft!mindlink!Curt_Sampson Data: (604) 687-6736 Curt_Sampson@p0.f740.n153.z1.fidonet.org Voice: (604) 687-3227

I really can't think of any time I would want to have a built-in floppy while I'm on the go. It would be useful to have a floppy when the machine is in some stationary location, though. A built-in hard disk and an external floppy makes a lot more sense to me. At this point its cheaper for me to buy an external floppy for my T1000XE (for not so vast amounts of money, even at Toshiba prices) than it is for me to upgrade to a T1000LE. And I can do so without making the machine any heavier when I travel. --M -- __ \/ Michael Portuesi Silicon Graphics, Inc. portuesi@sgi.com Integration, not segregation or assimilation.

I just purchased a T1000LE ... I love it except for one small problem ... If I fully charge it and then don't use it for 2 days .. the battery drains down .. Is this normal ....?? Fred J. Stellabotte stellabo@cshl.org

No. My experience is about 4-5 days. According to Toshiba this is normal for this machine. Two days is too short. Danny Low
