Floppy disk drives for Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300 series

I have four portable Satellite Pro - a 4340, a 4310, a 4270 and a 4280 and I have trouble getting the 4310 and 4270 to recognize a particular floppy drive. My understanding is that Mitsumi D353G FDDs were consistent with these laptops 4200 and 4300 series but I can't get the 4270 and the 4310 for «see» They will all be two however 'see' an FDD alternative I - a Pansonic JU-226A202FC, but I only have one of them and two laptops needing a floppy drive replacement. I tried a D353G I know (from my 4280) works in the 4310 and the 4270 but nothing helped. I'm keeping an eye on for an another Pansonic JU - 226A202FC FDD on ebay but no luck so far. It's frustrating because I don't know a FDD D353G expected to operate in the 4270 4310 and I have two spare ones that I wanted to use. I looked in TSETUP.exe and you can see no settings that I can change to make these laptops see floppy D353G so any help or insight greatly appreciated readers. Someone there a 4270 a 4310 runs successfully a floppy D353G drive or is this a quirk and these two particular models were made only to work with a Pansonic JU-226A202FC floppy drive not D353G disk drives? Clues?

Hello

Unfortunately, I am not a technician but I guess that there is clearly a problem with compatibility. It is possible that the assignment of pins is different and you cannot use them. If you want to have a precise explanation, you should contact technicians. I'm sure they have diagrams of the motherboard and can give you a good explanation and Tips how to handle this problem.

Good luck!

  • What is the difference between the Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300 series?

    As mentioned in another thread, I have a SP4220XCDT that died on me.

    I bought a mobo on ebay which was a 4290 and today it happened, but the problem was that there was an apparently fixed CPU, which stands out much less of the Council than that of the Board of Directors 4220 and therefore does not connect with my 4220 cooling mechanism.

    At least something comes on when I start now, but unfortunately he has passed the Toshiba screen that tells you to press F2 for boot sequence.

    Having also spent money on a new CPU and memory, I don't want it let go and I've seen a motherboard available suitable for a 4320/40/60 - does anyone know if it will agree with the rest of my 4220? It doesn't have a cpu so presumably will have the same mechanism as the motherboard 4220.

    I'm assuming that these may be compatible since I managed to find a pdf of a service manual that covers both the 4200 and 4300, although unfortunately the first page is missing, so I don't ' know if that highlights any differences.

    It's frustrating that there's no PDF for these older models, at least with the plug on them, and it is very difficult to find info.

    As usual, thanks for any help!

    Hello

    As far as I know the two series using the Intel Mobile Pentium III with MMX microprocessor? Technology.

    I discovered these details:

    Satellite 4260 series: Mobile Pentium III 450 MHz
    4270 satellite series: Intel Mobile Celeron 500 MHz
    Satellite 4280 series: Mobile Pentium III 500 MHz

    Satellite 4320 series: Mobile Pentium III 600 MHz with Intel SpeedStep technology
    Satellite 4340 series: Mobile Pentium III 650 MHz with Intel SpeedStep technology

    Portable measures should be also the same. So in my opinion, it should be possible to use the same motherboard for Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300.

  • The maximum size of HARD drive the BIOS sees in Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300 series systems

    I want to switch the HARD disk in my Satellite Pro 4340. I know the 4200 and 4300 SP series can take at least a 20 GB HARD drive that I've already updated a SP4270 and SP4280 drives from 20GB already.

    I did a search on assignments earlier re. Satellite Pro 4200 and computers portable 4300 series as various other contributors of this forum had already asked this question. A respondent suggested that they had installed a 60 GB HARD disk without problem.

    Someone at - it else mounted a big HARD drive (or more even) in these notebooks series 4200 and 4300 and managed to do work OK and had the BIOS to recognize the total size of the HARD drive?

    What is the largest swap HDD that someone did with success on these machines of 4200/4300?

    Unfortunately, you will not be able to find accurate information about it. All you can find are reports from other users. I am really interested about other views.

    By the way: 60 GB HARD drive is not sufficient for you?

    Hope you help me

    Hello!

    What you mean with 86 BIT? There are only two available versions: 32-bit and 64-bit.

    And have you searched the Web from Toshiba site? You can find all the drivers:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    There is no 64-bit drivers for 64 bit and Satellite Pro L300 and I think that nobody will do a driver for you. This forum from a user to s.
    You can search on external Web sites for drivers 64-bit like Intel, Realtek, etc.

  • External USB floppy drive for Satellite Pro M70

    I just bought a Satellite Pro M70 Centrino Mobile 750 to replace my Satellite 5105 - S702, which exposes the same type of problems of corruption/crash video display described elsewhere in these forums.

    I need an external floppy drive, and the site of the Toshiba shop specifies an external USB Floppy Drive Ref. PA3109E-3FDD.

    However, I have an external drive USB Floppy, Réf. PA3109U-1FDD, I bought for the satellite 5105-S702 about 4 years ago.

    5105-S702 has USB 1.1 ports and satellite Pro M70 has USB2 ports.

    Issues related to the:

    PA3109U-1FDD will work with the satellite Pro M70?

    There are likely to be problems of compatibility, driver issues or any probability/possibility of damage to the Sat ProM70?

    Would appreciate any advice.

    Thank you

    AlanCB

    Hi Alan

    I really don? t know why you ask if the floppy drive will not work. Why you don? t he try? As far as I know, it should work and you should not buy a new one.

    Just for info: a few months ago, I saw the Toshiba FDD drives with part number PX? And these drives are not bootable but on the lower side, there is a label with this information.

    Anyway, you can use your other more ancient. According to the specification tested for MS M70 is FDD Drive Kit PA3109U-1FDD (your one).

    Good luck

  • Lack of Win98SE PCI/Sound driver for Satellite Pro 4270

    Hello

    I have an old Satellite Pro 4270 with Win98SE license.
    I have no driver CD and only a Win98SE installation CD. So I installed Win98SE.
    From Toshiba Web site show me a lot of drivers for Win98SE which I installed.

    But I have not found a driver for the PCI card that has a yellow "?" in the Device Manager. I do not mean the PCMCIA slots.

    I installed the driver of his Yamaha DS - XG, but I can not here any sound.

    So where can I find the PCI driver and sound driver better.

    Great! :)

  • Need to know the model of display driver for Satellite Pro A10

    Hello! I'll try to find the exact display on my satellite pro A10 chipset model. The driver on the toshiba site is not updated, and I can't use the correct resolution (19 "Wide or 1440 x 900) on my external display.
    At the same time before I was able to update the driver correctly, just the search for generic driver "Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME" and software "extreme graphics" at the Intel Web site.
    But now, on the Intel site that they ask the exact model, which means that, if she is 82852 or 82855, and if it is GM or GME...
    Can U give the specific model please?
    My computer is a celeron 2500 MHz with 1 GB RAM and 30 GB HARD drive (standard)

    Thanks in advance...

    I found some details on this device and it seems that the laptop was equipped with the internal graphics controller Intel 852GM; code name: Montara GML
