Tecra M7: Question about PC card compatibility

Hello

I have a Tecra M & and am quite satisfied with its performance. I work on a lot of video editing and had to get a Seagate 300 GB eSATA external hard drive in the hope of making life easier for me. I bought a SIIG eSATA II ExpressCard and believe that it is not compatible with the provision of the PC card in my system - which I believe confroms to standard CardBus.

Is it possible to use my ExpressCard card? If this is not the case, is there a CardBus card that would allow me to use 3 GB of my new SATA hard drive throughput delivery?

I've invested nearly 150 GB punds on things and wish to exploit technology to the maximum so that I can get smoother work with my video files.

Any technical contribution must be assessed.

Thank you
siraJ

What model Tecra do you have? You have entered am &' so uncertain. I haven't seen a converter SATA CardBus and doubt that it is likely, given the high SATA transfer rate.

You may need to consider taking your gear back for a refund. But before do you that please confirm the Tecra model number so that we can look at this more.

  • Question about sound card on Satellite Pro L40

    Hello

    I use a program called Sibelius and recommended an ASIO compatible sound card.
    Can someone tell me if the sound in the satellite pro L40 series card is compatible ASIO?
    If not I can plug a card external sound which is compatible and if so how can I turn off the internal sound card.

    Thank you

    I really don't think not someone will be able to give you information about the ASIO compatibility, but I see no problem, that is if you want to use the external device. Card internal sound, you can disable it in Device Manager.

    Hi aceman

    I suppose that you bought the a drive that is not compatible with your device.
    You should be careful with these products. Not all readers operate on all laptops. There's a different pin assignment that makes compatible players.

    I think that the information that was posted by jmatthews is correct. You have two options: you can google for part numbers or contact the Toshiba ASP in your country and control compatible player of them.

  • Tecra M3 - questions about the RAM maximum and graphics driver update

    Hi people,

    I have a Tecra M3 (Variant FBCF with the Geforce 6600 w / 128 MB) and I have two questions that I hope someone here can help me with:

    (1) what is the maximum amount of RAM that I can install here? The manual says 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), but I do not see why the laptop would be paralyzed this necessary way, cause as far as I know the 915G chipset can handle 4 GB of RAM. If anyone knows definitively what?

    (2) the latest drivers from nvidia for XP are 2005. As most of you probably know, nvidia systematically more than past performance with versions driver and adds compatibility with some games that end up in trouble. The real driver from the nvidia site does not install because it says that it cannot find any compatible hardware. Can't Toshiba even a pilot updated annually? There is a driver of 2007 for Vista, I can't believe that if they did, they decide refresh the XP one while they were to him. Any chance of their audience on this here? I could force the nvidia.com driver to install, but I don't think that it's necessarily a great idea.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    the maximum amount specified for this machine memory is 2 GB and 4 GB not but you can try it with 2x2gb modules.

    With regard to your graphics: Don t use the nvidia driver since it is not suitable for mobile graphics chipsets and has no timing in the driver that is needed to run flawlessly.

    I'd rather you to view laptopvideo2go and download some drivers here. :)

  • Tecra A2: Question about DVI and external monitor

    Hello
    I am trying to get a DVI Signal of the Tecra A2 using the Advanced Port Replicator III but without success. The A2 does support DVI anyway?
    Another question: is it possible to set up the main display to the external monitor using "extended Desktop"?

    Thank you
    Ralph Menon

    Hello Ralph

    Your unit doesn t support DVI port and you can't use it. As far as I know just the ports that you can find on the device, you can use in Port Replicator because the signal is just loop through.

    The problem with the screen is that mobile has the main value and it cannot be changed (on my Tecra M1 nor). The windows will be implemented on an external but password box will always be displayed on the screen of the laptop.

  • Tecra M4: Question about video memory

    I was forced to buy spec UK Tablet which comes with only 64 MB of memory video.

    Can it be upgraded to 128 MB?

    The assistance service said yes but a service senter said no.

    Hello

    Well, as far as I know the Tecra M4 was delivered with two graphics cards.
    -nVIDIA GeForce FX Go6200 with 64 MB
    -nVIDIA GeForce Go6600 with 128 MB FX

    I think that there are many types of Tecra M4 with and many other different parts (CPU, HARD drive, etc.).
    I think that if you want to change the graphics card, you need to change other pieces of equipment. (motherboard, cooling, fans, etc.)
    In this case I suggest that it of not possible to upgrade the card without any other replacements.

  • Tecra 8000: Question about the possibility of upgrade

    I have a tecra 8000 with a pentium 2 300 mhz processor and I was wondering if it would be up to class? any help would be appreciated thanks.

    Hello

    Well, in general it is not possible to upgrade the CPU because the cpu is fixed and soldered on the motherboard. But sometimes the CPU is only mated. I'm not sure about this device, but as far as I know, this device was shipped with Pentium II 400 233 MHz, 333 MHz and 400 MHz Dixon.
    But if you want to upgrade the CPU to change many other parts because the plu processor produce more heat and this process can cause overheating problems.
    So if you want you can request the service of Toshiba for details.

  • Satellite L305-S5920: Question about PC card, new use HDD & Win XP

    I recently bought this machine in the mail and on arrival was disappointed to see that it is not equipped with a Firewire plug - I thought that all the machines which had today? Too bad, I thought I'd use my PCMCIA Firewire card. But then I found that what looks like a standard PCMCIA socket has a block to halfway down on one side which prevents a normal PCMCIA card being inserted. Snookered. What is this decision? Not one of my PC cards will go in.

    I then tried, had always been my intention to replace the 160 gb HD with a new 500 GB it and install XP on it. It's a very long story, but it culminates at Toshiba telling me that "this model will not work XP. Someone at - it ideas how to get around this problem?

    Either way, I don't seem to have all the means to re-establish a new HD Vista if/when this one fails. Am I expected to go out and buy, or I missed something? There is no "recovery partition" on the hard drive so there is no way that I can produce my own recovery disk.

    I then tried to play a DVD, to be told that it was the wrong region and could not be played. Quite absurd to place this restriction on laptops - I live in two Americas and Britain - but once again so much worse, I'll just load AnyDVD and continue nevertheless. But no - the carpet * a drive mounted by Toshiba is one of the few that cannot be decrypted.

    Therefore this machine, which works well in its own design constraints, is nowhere near what I wanted and expected it to be. Can someone suggest a solution to all of the above questions? Because I already ordered a different brand which according to me does not have these limits, but it would be useful to keep this as a spare if I can fix it.

    Hello

    First of all, I doubt that there is some design flaws
    Akuma has already said, there are devices that supports different standards.

    In any case, for the first I recommend that you check this Toshiba page we:

    [Satellite L305-S5920 - details-| http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2241928& rpn = PSLB8U & modelFilter = L305-S5920 & SelCategorie = 3 & selFamily = 1073768663]

    You will find here all the details on this model Sat L305
    In the detailed specifications, you can find the info that this laptop uses the Express Card slot (ExpressCard/34 and ExpressCard/54). You must use Express cards instead of PCMCIA cards!

    You can also install the Win XP I n know not why, someone said that you can not do this strange however, you can install the Win XP and I found XP drivers too! Please visit US!

    The recovery of HARD drive partition is placed on European models of Toshiba. I put t know how it works on Toshiba WE series (perhaps drive HARD recovery is not available on laptops in the United States), but perhaps you need to create the first recovery disk in order to recover the laptop to factory settings.

    Hello

    As you know on this path it is not easy to give you a good answer on all these problems. The same happen to me with my mouse, but AFAIK it's normal because the mouse must obviously be calibrated again and again.

    Daniel is right about the memory. You can use two modules with 256 MB (PC100 256 MB - PA3069U - 1 M 25). 512 MB should be max according to the specifications of this unit.
