I have asked several dealers etc about the 100 pin expansion port usage or planned usage and have gotten "I don't really know...I'll have to look into that...". Well I got my own yesterday and dug right into the various manuals and came up dry again. I can guess... expansion hard disk, docking station, external monitor... Anyone got any real info? Also have been told that the internal modem is not yet available, since the info with the machine didn't give any part numbers for the modem I can't tell for sure...but does anyone know if it is the same modem as the old T1000? Thanx, Ned Desmond desmond@gvl.unisys.com

If you need assistance, give Toshiba America a call (they have an 800 number) and ask - they're pretty helpful once you get to a human being (a couple levels of phone machine redirection). Send me email and describe what you want. ------------------------------------------------------------ | | | | | | | Don't mind me, my job | | | | _ /| | is driving me crazy!! | | | | \'o.O' | | |____ | | =(___)= ----------------------------- \ | | U | | \ | | ACK! | Gregg Kishida | | | | gkishida@envy.eng.uci.edu | F.B.H.N.G. | | | | | ------------------------------------------------------------

The answer that I got at that time was that "the engineers are considering different configurations for the 100-pin connector" and the guy "speculated" that some kind of docking station is likely. Regarding ports for ext. monitor or hard disk etc., he said he really doesn't know which peripherals will be supported. Also, he said the internal modem is going to be 2400 baud (sigh ! I was expecting higher speed). I haven't called again since then. If anyone wants to call the tech support, here is the no. (I think it is for the northeast parts of the country) 800-999-4273. If anyone eventually gets answers to some or all of the above questions, please either post them or send me an e-mail. Thanx ! Patrick Wong pcw@squid.graphics.cornell.edu (Believe or not ! I have to wait 8 weeks minimun for the SE to be delivered to the school where I will pay at education discount price. Now, it has been only 3 weeks ! sigh!)
