RE: questions about toshiba tecra 8100
<apologies if this has already been answered on this thread - I'm on a 9600
infrared mobile link, so I haven't had chance to read all the thread's

I'm just concious of the fact that the machine has an 8mb 3d card - it seems
a bit weak. Hopefully this is something which should develop in the future?
Many Thanks & Kind Regards,
Mike.
