Important Information on PCMCIA
If you leave a PCMCIA card in the PCMCIA slot of your PC system during initial boot, the PC system BIOS will detect the PCMCIA card and send a 5 Volt electric potential to the PCMCIA slot. If the PCMCIA card in the slot has a 16bit/3.3V configuration, it is possible that the 5 Volt electric potential could damage the PCMCIA card.
Please check your PCMCIA card, the user manual or contact the card manufacturer/supplier to determine the specific configuration of your PCMCIA card.
If you use or expect to use a 16bit/3.3V PCMCIA card, we strongly recommend that you download a modified BIOS from Toshiba's web site to your PC system prior to using the 16 bit/3.3V card in order to avoid any possible damage.
PCMCIA cards that offer a 16bit/5.0V, 16 bit/3.3V and 5.0V dual support or Card Bus Cards are not affected.
