I agree, so long as Toshiba does not do hardware whitelisting with that model. If it does, I suspect just getting a compatible card from another Toshiba would probably work; if not, there may possibly be a software tool (probably on a bootable CD image) that can be used to deactivate the hardware whitelisting somewhere out there on the Internet, as there is for ThinkPads. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ]
