Thanks! Wow did they stop making laptops!? What a shame. Oh I see, haha my pronunciations are way off sometimes, thanks for informing me! Cheers man will do
Nice overview! I've never played Monster Truck Madness, I might have to get a copy for the 98 PC! What kind of video and sound chips does the Toshiba have? And speaking of sound I always wonder what laptops around this time have good SoundBlaster compatibility under DOS 🙂
Thanks! Yeah it sure is a fun game. I'm not sure honestly, though I think the sound card may be some Yamaha OPL3 clone. I guess they have good compatibility, since a lot of manufactures would've used similar sound chips, so games were developed with said clones in mind. Just a theory of mine, I can't say for certain!
Ive been collecting vintage laptops recently and devoting each one to a particular operating system starting with WIn 95 and finishing with Windows 10.......Attempting to find a Win 3.1 machine but trying to find one that works is getting very difficult indeed.
1024x600 is the native resolution on that display? very interesting to have a close-to 16:9 resolution on such an old machine... at least it scales to 800x600 perfectly. on another note, it might just be the recording but is the display really dark for you?
Hi, nice video :) Do you still have the drivers or the restore CD for your machine? I can't find them anywhere online
I like your channel. i used to work for toshiba shame they are gone now. Its pronounced por-te-chey :) keep up the good work

I had a heartattack at 3:14 and I thought the video stopped there. Also rip toshiba.

Yeah that's it, sure is hey, it's fairly uncommon. Nah I was just recording the display wrong, it's not that dark at all in person.
@@ScanLinesAU sweet thats good to hear the lcd still holds up 👍
Is there any trick to get low resolution games to fullscreen mode? Just built up the old thing here :D
check the BIOS options find something related to LCD scaling and set it to FULL ...hoping this helps you
I didn't know they even made 16:9 laptops back then.
could run XP?
