 The [[Toshiba T5200|T5200]] and [[Toshiba T5200C|T5200C]] are siblings. The only major difference is that the T5200C has a color flat panel screen. The graphics adapters are the same, both systems are VGA capable, and support resolutions up to 640×480 with 16 colors.

 If your computer doesn't allow for a Hard Disk upgrade, you can program your own BIOS chip with the ROM files supplied below.
+This system can be expanded with an 8-bit and 16-bit ISA expansion cards. Hence, you can alternatively purchase an XT-IDE adapter to add a hard drive, such as the XT-CF-MINI or XT-CF-Lite card to add a Compact Flash card as a hard drive. They usually run for $40-$60. You can find them on eBay. Check out [[http://www.malinov.com/Home/sergeys-projects/xt-cf-lite]] and [[https://shop.bluelavasystems.com/products/xt-cf-mini-bootable-8-bit-isa-cf-card-interface-xt-ide]]
+Another option is to purchase an XT-IDE adapter for the Toshiba proprietary expansion slot. There is a maker on eBay that sells Toshiba type expansion cards with XT-IDE to allow many different types of IDE and CF cards to be used on the portable computer.

 ==== CPU upgrades and overclocking ====
 The processor is upgradable to 486 (example Texas Instruments TI486DLC/E).

 ===== Replacement BIOS ROM chips =====
 {{ :toshiba_t-series_support:images:t3200sx-bios-chips.jpg?400|}}
-I have started selling replacement BIOS ROM chips for the T3200SX that have the hard drive limitation bypassed. I can also program BIOS chips for other types of computers, but I do not currently possess a T5200 to test the BIOS chips. If you would like to help test the chips, I could program one for you and ship to your address. I will need some help identifying correct part numbers. If you're currently in need of upgrading your BIOS in order to install a different hard disk, you can then use my BIOS chip to get around any limitations you may have with your current BIOS.
