SUMMARY
=======

The Toshiba T3100/10 (with a 10-MB hard drive) and the Toshiba T3100/20 (with a
20-MB hard drive) run correctly with Microsoft Windows version 3.0 with the BIOS
versions indicated below.

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

The T3100/10 requires BIOS version 2.01 or earlier. BIOS versions greater than
2.01, such as 4.20, should not be used even if the hard drive has been upgraded
to 20 megabytes.

The T3100/20 works with Windows 3.0 with the following BIOS versions and
displays:

  BIOS            Display
  ----            -------

  2.01            CGA

  4.20            Olivetti/AT&T Monochrome or PVC Display

NOTE: Both of these models (and the T3100e) do not display a highlight bar during
Setup. There is currently no workaround available for this problem.

The products included here are manufactured by Toshiba America, a vendor
independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding
these products' performance or reliability.
