How get Toshiba software?

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

I have a Toshiba Tecra 500 CDT. The system appears to be hosed. We
recently moved and I can't find any of the software that came with it.

Where can I buy a copy of the the CDROM containing all the software? I've
looked all over the Toshiba web site, and can't find anything about it.

You probably can't buy it unless you get lucky on E-Bay (or someone here
offers to send you a copy).

All of the "pieces" that you need -- drivers and utilities -- to install
a generic retail operating system should be (usually are) available on
the Toshiba web site, but as individual components, not as a nice,
single, easy-to-use CD.

Yes, I did. There is no Win 2K stuff there. But, now that I think of it,
it is possible that the 500CDT was never sold with Win 2K. I know this
particular machine was upgraded at the company where I was working.

But, there must have been lots of them upgraded, so the drivers should
exist?

I've found that the canadian website has a lot more obsolete stuff
than the others. If the system shippped with an older os, you're much less
likely to find what you need for a newer os.
