Looks a good person (@…) made a mirror of the support website (with a UI that's amazing and every manufacturer should take note), so at least I found the drivers. https://toshiba-mirror.depau.gay/product/?mid=1073769759

Does anyone have a restore CD for a Toshiba Satellite Pro 425? (might be the same as for the 420).
Yes, I know that archive.org exists. There’s various restore CDs there but I couldn’t find one for the 420/425 series.
(If you have one and can’t image it, I can do it for you and archive it.)

@… hey, thanks for the toshiba driver mirror site.
(I think they completely took down the drivers for older stuff from the dynabook site now.)

I have an MSI Prestige A16 laptop that only runs #Archlinux. Speakers stopped working suddenly last week, but headphones plugged in worked fine (Bluetooth audio - all the stuff up a wire plumber's rear end). Tried a few kernel versions to no avail (firmware package wasn't updated recently).
Flashbacked to the days of the Toshiba Swanky Chromebook and the audio issues I had on…

I have a slightly older and lower spec Toshiba laptop... maybe I should do that for Windows 95 and reinstall Windows 98 on the ThinkPad 760XL.
The ThinkPad is from mid-1997 and originally came with Windows 95, and has a 166 MHz Pentium; the Toshiba is from mid-1996 and has a 100 MHz Pentium.
Decisions, decisions.

I still need to figure out the link between Toshiba and SmartDisk, haven’t researched it yet.

Went with Windows 98 w/ Office ‘97 on the ThinkPad, works great on it.
Toshiba will be Windows 95 & Office ‘95 and whatever weird Windows 95 productivity apps I can find.

Honestly I’m secretly a Toshiba fanboy
