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.

0712 - 1245 Other Disk Options
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?
071308 -
071309 -

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.
