[SixClub] Toshiba startup discs

[Larry Brown]

Thanks Doc, I run Mac OS on my other PCs but the Linux sounds promising. 

Eduardo I tried that but Toshiba has some sort of special software that requires their own start-up discs to make it work and I cannot get online with the laptop or even get it to recognise the copy of Win98 I have. I figure I'll need to start from the beginning to get it right.
