Jim, with the F/D (tmc-850) it tries to boot the H/D connected to it.If you have no drive connected to it you must set your system setup to 0 hard drives connected. The F/D card takes over the boot process, BEFORE the system does that is why you had to pull the bios since you did not have a H/D connected. I happened across this when I had a bad H/D in a Toshiba 3200 and the company wanted $800. for a rebuilt 40 meg. I played with different controllers using the exp. slots in the unit and the SCSI worked well (I set the setup to 0 drives). The laptop is still runing well today with no problems.(Total cost was (390. for 81 meg!). I'll send you the BBS # in a private mess. Brian
