I second that Toshiba models could use some more complete support
for eg the ToPic bridge in the PCMCIA controller (mine panics soon after
I remove a card, but not immediately)

As for the config program, isn't it still available in the BIOS, but
undocumented, like on mine? (Satellite Pro 42xx series) I think you have
to press ESC while the Toshiba logo is showing on bootup. Also, on mine
you can boot from the floppy by pressing and holding the "f" key while
the logo is up and "c" for CDROM boot works too. These were not in my
manual either, gleaned them from some Linux page...
