  Version 1.30    03-17-2003

  • Initial production BIOS for Satellite Pro M10.

*1)Always use the wireless device in accordance with the cautions or notices described in the manual accompanied with your PC.

If an old version of this software is installed on the system, you must use Windows' Add/Remove Programs control panel to uninstall it before installing this release.

This release addresses these issues:

• Bluetooth PAN server cannot start automatically after resuming from standby, if OS is XP/TabletPC edition.
• One sentence in the option dialog of CHS is not correct.

Requirements

• Windows XP requires SP2
• Windows 2000 requires SP3 and Microsoft Hotfix Q818801

Limitations

• Fast user switch is not supported. Bluetooth Manager can not be launched when switched to another user.
• When using MS-FAX, please disable the "automatic reception setting". If it is enabled, it may take several minutes to initialize BT on resume from standby.
• Before connecting or disconnecting a Bluetooth headset, please exit any voice or sound-related applications (e.g. Windows Messenger, Windows Media Player). The audio input and output may not be switched properly if those applications are running. This same precaution is important prior to system standby, hibernate or shutdown, and prior to turning off or unpluging the primary Bluetooth device.

The Toshiba Bluetooth Monitor will turn on/off the Bluetooth module, allowing the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack in SP2 to install correctly. This module is not necessary when you use the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack.

If you want to use the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack instead of Toshiba's's:

1. Uninstall Toshiba Bluetooth Stack using the Add/Remove Programs control panel.
2. Install the Toshiba Bluetooth Monitor
3. Install SP2 (the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack will be installed).

For Tecra M1, this version is only applicable to Win98SE.

Requires either a bootable diskette drive (FDD), or bootable CD-ROM (CD-RW, DVD-ROM/RW). If no FDD is available, requires access to CD authoring (burning) software and hardware.

Build 60303 fixes an issue where Satellite 5205-S705 units were programmed with the incorrect DMI model string.
