| Title: | Toshiba Tecra 720CDT |
| Last Updated: | August 20 1996 |
| Product Vendor: | BIFROST WORKSTATIONS, INC. 108509 Richmond Avenue, Suite 270 Houston, Texas 77042 713.952.9949 |
Explanation of Compatibility Testing
NEXTSTEP Compatible systems are tested by third parties using a test procedure developed by NeXT. NeXT approves the use of the "NEXTSTEP Compatible" designation for these systems based on the completeness of the test results submitted by these NeXT-trained 3rd parties.
For more detailed information on the NICE program, please refer to NeXTanswers document 1903_Compatible_Systems_Tested_With_NEXTSTEP.rtf
The Toshiba Tecra 720 CDT driver has been written by BiFrost Workstations, Inc. In order to obtain this driver, you must either buy the laptop from BiFrost and receive the driver for FREE or license the driver for a fee. Please contact BiFrost for more information.
| Note: | NeXT accepts no support responsibilities or liability whatsoever for any |
| system | authorized to use the "NEXTSTEP Compatible" designation, nor does NeXT |
| represent | that their test procedures or training--even if followed exactly by the 3rd |
| party | performing the test work--are in any way complete or exhaustive. Known or |
| unknown | errors may be present in configurations which are designated as |
| "NEXTSTEP | Compatible" which could adversely affect the operation of these |
| systems. | Support for compatible systems may be provided by the PC vendor or |
| System | integrator. |
