Hello folks. I've done as much troubleshooting on this problem as I possibly could before coming here, so hopefully we can find a solution to this particularly odd issue. The system in question used to work perfectly and now there is a specific problem: the mouse does not track when an ISA...

These badboys seem impossible to find these days. I've even been able to track down an external FDD for my Tecra 740CDT but the docking station eludes me. So if anyone has, or knows of, a Toshiba Deskstation V (or Plus) then I would be very interested in acquiring one. Thanks! Amazingly there...

Just wanted to share this system with you folks on the off-chance that anyone has some kind of insight into it. Won it on eBay yesterday after apparently being willing to max out a bit higher than the other bidder. I've never seen one before and it appears to be completely undocumented, at least...
