PH>Quoting Lewin Edwards to Peter Hocking during 03-19-95 at 16:15

PH>LE> PH> One Toshiba 3100SX laptop computer. Comes with:-
PH>LE> PH>         * 9 (yes 9) meg of RAM
PH>LE> PH>         * 40 meg hard disk
PH>LE> PH>         * Yours for $875.00

PH>LE>Sounds most interesting. Could you please specify what kind 
PH>LE>of machine it is, though, viz. CPU (presume 386sx) ? speed 
PH>LE>? display type ? external ports ?

PH>386SX16, VGA display,(Toshiba orange, 16 "grey" scales, 2 serial
PH>ports, 1  printer port, (will run both internal & external
PH>monitor at the same  time), 1 external monitor port


PH>LE>Also, is the HDD a standard 2.5" IDE or something 
PH>LE>proprietary ? This is MOST IMPORTANT since my first act 
PH>LE>will be to toss that HDD out the window.

PH>I am not sure, the manual says "built in 3.5" hard disk, 40
PH>megabyte", it  doesn't get any more specific than that.

From my experience with Toshiba Laptops (be it limited)
If it is a 3.5" drive then you should be able to HOY it and replace 
it with a common 3.5" wide IDE drive.

The IDE plug should be the same but the power plug might be
