[comp.sys.laptops] Info from Toshiba BBS

portuesi@tweezers.esd.sgi.com (Michael Portuesi) (07/06/90)

Contained in this post, and in several following, are some useful text
files I pulled off the Toshiba BBS.  I figured that since I had to pay
for a long distance phone call to get all this stuff, that the rest of
Usenet could benefit from it too.  Since I didn't see a copyright
notice anywhere on the BBS or on this material, I can only assume it
is public domain.

DISCLAIMER -- I have no affiliation with Toshiba, except as a happy
customer.  Neither I nor Silicon Graphics is responsible for what
happens if ill fortune becomes you from using the information posted
here.
