  I just picked up a Toshiba T1000 portable and I'd
like to dig into its
 inner workings a little bit. I can't find a speck of documentation
 online. No user guides, no service manuals, no schematics, nothin'. I'm
 especially interested in a reference on the external floppy port, if
 nothing else.

 If anyone has any PDFs, please let me know!
