Intro

This project started off with my Toshiba collection, Many of these early Toshiba T-Series have an expansion slot in the back. Looking through the maintenance manual's for these Toshiba's I found out that they just used the ISA bus with a different connector and formfactor for the expansion slot.

I already had some of Lo-tech's XT-CF cards and wanted something similar for the Toshiba slot. Therefore this card is based entirely on Lo-tech's design, I used the schematics on his website with some small changes, Of course I asked James if he was cool with that.

Toshiba proprietary expansion slot - "A" form factor

XTide CF adapter card for Toshiba laptops.

This card makes it easy to add, expand or replace the storage on your Toshiba laptop.

You can use an installed CF card as if it were your main hard disk and boot from it, install dos, windows or any other programs onto it.

You could also use this together with an already installed hard disk to expand the storage and making file transfers easy.

  If you have a portable like the T1600/40, T3200sx(c) or T5200(c) that only supports Conner IDE drives, this card also enables you to add any other IDE drive internally.

At checkout:

  • Please check the different shipping options.
  • And if you specify which Toshiba portable the card will be used in, I'll pre-program the ROM for you.

This listing is for a fully assembled and tested board.

A KIT with all parts is also available, check my other listings.

My board is based on Lo-tech’s XT-CF-lite design and made to fit inside of the proprietary Toshiba expansion slot.

Compatible laptops are:

  • T1100 PLUS  (not T1100)
  • T1200
  • T1600
  • T2100 from 1986 (not the later "satellite T2100")
  • T3100 (E)(sx)
  • T3200sx(c)   (not T3200)
  • T5100
  • T5200(c)
  • And probably some of the Japanese models J-3100… not sure, haven't been able to test.

!! No Compact flash card included.
