Dave,
Actually you would want the Sounding Board Lite. This is the version
of the Sounding Board for the Toshiba 1000. The Sounding Board LT is
designed for the Toshiba 1200.
I would assume at that price it does not offer the additional RAM memory.
In any case, the Sounding Board Lite is some-what difficult to install.
Because the port is not easy to get at, you have to take the entire machine
apart. I would recommend you have a tech. help you with this task. I would
hate to see you blow-up your new Toshiba. Actually I don't think you would
blow-up the machine but in all seriousness, it is difficult to install. If
you plan on using the battery level indicator, it requires that you sotter
a wire from the Sounding Board Lite to the mother board of the Toshiba.
The manual does go through the entire process.
Regards,
Doug
