SUMMARY
=======

Prior to installing Microsoft Windows version 3.0 on a Toshiba T1600 portable
computer, you need to use keyboard commands to enable the internal EGA and the
auto gray scale mode.

MORE INFORMATION
================

During Windows Setup, select Toshiba 1600 as the machine type rather than the
default MS-DOS or PC-DOS System selection. Set the display type to EGA Black and
White. Failure to set the proper video mode switches causes Windows to stop
responding (hang) during Setup. Windows hangs after the EGALOGO.LGO file is
copied and Setup switches to graphics mode.

If you select Toshiba 1600 as the machine type, the following line is added to
your CONFIG.SYS file:

      DEVICE=C:\HIMEM.SYS /M:TOSHIBA

If Setup cannot modify CONFIG.SYS, the CONFIG.SYS file must be edited with a
plain ASCII text editor (such as Notepad). If you modify CONFIG.SYS with a text
editor, make sure you use the /M:TOSHIBA or the /M:7 switch. If the switch is
not used, A20 Handler Number 1 loads and the system performs a cold boot when
you try to start Windows using the WIN command.

The Toshiba T1600 is manufactured by Toshiba America, vendor independent of
Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's
performance or reliability.
