Paul,
Whilst browsing Ebay, I came across an advert for a Toshiba T3200. It said it had two ISA slots, one 8-bit, the other 16-bit. I thought to myself, 'bollocks it does'.
I went to look at my own Toshiba T3200SX, and I was gob-smacked to find I was completely wrong!
The 8-bit slot was taken up with a Sprint Extender card (to run the hard drive). The 16-bit slot however, was free. I decided to shoehorn a 3-Com Etherlink III network card in there, and see if it would work. I had to hacksaw off the BNC connector (so the laptop ISA slot cover could go back on) but after that, everything went smoothly. Nice!
Live and learn eh?
