Hi Mark,

I'd recommend anything by Xircom. I've used a large number of makes and
models with my work, and generally find them to be the most compatible
and problem free. They also do a good range of combined cards.

Cardbus compatible cards MAY work on your laptop as long as the drivers
are good enough. Check out Toshiba's web site for the technical specs of
your machine and for any BIOS or driver updates for that could enhance
your PCMCIA connections.

Hope that helps
