070901 - Talked to Manny for following quote.

070907 -                                $2,186
070908 -
070909 -
070910 -    These prices are without credit for the existing elements which we
070911 -    would return.
070912 -
070913 -    He will call me back with an offer on those.
070914 -
070915 -
070916 -
070917 - Manny says the larger disk is faster than the 120M in the machine now.
070918 -
070919 -
070920 -
070921 - Processor upgrade
070922 -
070923 - The DX2 50 is a replacement.
070924 -
070925 -     He said Toshiba may indicate the warranty is not valid, if we have
070926 -     a problem and this chip is installed.
070927 -
070928 -          We only have one more month on the warranty, so I don't
070929 -          think this is a factor.
070930 -
070931 -     I asked about their history making this upgrade.  Manny said they
070932 -     have sold about 7 units with this chip in the past 6 months, and
070933 -     have had no returns or notices of performance problems.  Manny
070934 -     said he has not seen any reports in industry liturature on
070935 -     failures of the T4400c using the DX 2 50 chip.
070936 -
070937 - There is another option, DX25 overdrive.   $542

0713 -
071301 - Morri Smyth reported today, he is using DOS 6.0 successfully on CPU
071302 - #4 to double the disk capacity.  We don't know if it will run okay on
071303 - CPU #7, since it is using Toshiba DOS, and if it does, will OS2 be
071304 - able to use the disk doubling feature of DOS 6.0.  OS2, actually
071305 - swaps out the operating system, but it seems to run okay under the
071306 - FAT of DOS.  But if it is not using DOS 6.0 during operations, how
071307 - can the disk doubling feature work?

0715 -
0716 - 1248 called Manny back
0717 -
071701 - Asked if DOS 6.0 will run on the Toshiba T4400SXc?
071702 -
071703 -      What happens if we load Microsoft DOS on the machine?
071704 -
071705 -          Seems like some features pertaining to power control, might
071706 -          not be available.
071707 -
071708 - Manny said they have a customer who recently DOS 6.0 on a Toshiba
071709 - T4400SXc and found that the disk doubling feature slows down perform-
071710 - ance considerably.  Manny advised of reading industry reports that DOS
071711 - 6.0 has a lot of problem.
071712 -
