                                 ===========
******************************** = WARNING = ********************************
                                 ===========
IF YOU ARE USING OR PLAN TO USE A PCMCIA NETWORK ADAPTER WITH WINDOWS NT 4.0,
YOU MUST INSTALL WINDOWS NT's NETWORKING COMPONENTS PRIOR TO INSTALLING THIS
SOFTWARE!

*****************************************************************************

NOTES:
------
  1) If the previous version of APM is installed in the system,
     uninstall it before you install the new APM.
     
  2) The system will be put into instant security mode but not actual
     suspend mode, when it is docked with docking station. The
     reason is that option cards and SCSI devices in docking station do
     not support APM. Actual suspend will cause loss of network
     connection and malfunction of SCSI devices.
     
  3) Maintaining network connection is supported with following network
     cards only:
     - 3COM EtherLink III LAN PC Card (3C589C,3C589D)
     - NE2000 compatible LAN PC card (e.g: Noteworthy Ethernet LAN
       card)
       
  4) The sound driver must be installed AFTER the installation of
     the APM subsystem. If the sound driver is installed before APM,
     the sound will be distorted. Also, if APM is uninstalled,
     the sound driver must be uninstalled and then reinstalled again.


INFORMATION
This software package contains the Toshiba Windows NT 4.0 Utilities (MaxTime, 
FnEsse, and HWSetup) for your Toshiba portable computer, as well as the 
necessary drivers needed to support these utilities.  For detailed information
about these utilities and subsystems, please view the file C:\TOSHNT40.HTM, 
which has been copied to the root directory of C:.  This file can be viewed
using Microsoft Internet Explorer which is included with Windows NT 4.0.

The installation routine will attempt to start Internet Explorer and load this
file for you when the installation of the utilities is complete.


INSTALLATION
Since you're reading this, you've already begun the installation process. 
After you are done reading this file, you'll be prompted to press any key to 
continue.

The Windows NT 4.0 APM Subsystem is installed first.  In addition to 
copying drivers to your hard disk, this sets up the Toshiba entries in the
Windows NT registry that will be required by the subsequent components.  When 
the APM Subsystem installer ends, you'll be prompted to press any key to 
continue.

The next step is to install the Toshiba SCI (BIOS) interface and Toshiba Windows
Utilities applications.  The Toshiba SCI interface allows the Toshiba utilities to communicate with the power management (battery state, power mode, resume mode, etc) facilities built into the Toshiba BIOS.  The Toshiba Windows Utilities are the MaxTime battery management utility, the Hardware Setup program, and the FnEsse keyboard hotkey mapping application.  When the installer ends,  it will attempt to start Microsoft 
Internet Explorer and load the TOSHNT40.HTM file for you to read.  TOSHNT40.HTM will 
remain in the root directory of C: so that you can view it at any time using Internet Explorer or the Web browser of your choice.

This README file will also be copied to the root directory of C: as 
TOSHREAD.NT4 so that you can view it at any time.


VERSION NUMBERS OF THE INCLUDED SOFTWARE  
Are found in the "About" dialog of the electronic distribution archive


ABOUT THE ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION ARCHIVE
The electronic distribution file was compressed using the InfoZip
(http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/Info-Zip.html) freeware ZIP archiver.  The
32-bit self-extracting code is provided using the WinZip Self-Extractor, which
TAIS has licensed from Nico-Mak Computing.

When the self-extractor finishes unzipping the file, it executes the
INSTINFO.BAT routine.  When INSTINFO.BAT is finished, the self-extractor deletes
the files and directories that it originally unzipped.  

If for some reason you need to extract the contents of the electronic
distribution file, you can use Info-Zip's UNZIP program, or PKUnzip version
2.04g or later.  The electronic distribution archive contains subdirectories 
which are required in order to complete the installation.  You'll need to use 
the "-d" option if you're using PKUnzip.
