| 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. | The [[Toshiba T5200|T5200]] and [[Toshiba T5200C|T5200C]] are siblings.

| + | 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.

| - | 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. | + | I have started selling replacement BIOS ROM chips for the T3200SX that have the hard drive limitation bypassed.
