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.
