Toshiba lap top computers and Jaws2

The following is some information on the Toshiba line of lap top
computers, your model may be discussed, read through it for some
helpful information.


The Toshiba keyboard layout is different than a desk topcomputer.
Therefore we have designed a special Jaws keyboard layout for the
Toshibas.  The default or standard Jaws macro file for the Toshiba
is called "jawstosh.jmf", the "tosh" is short for Toshiba.  If you
already have your synthesizer installed and want to load Jaws then
follow the generic installation steps.  If you need more help read
the section specific to your Toshiba.

Generic software installation

1.  Copy the Jaws distribution disk onto your hard disk or another
floppy.  If you are not sure how to do this refer to the section in
the Jaws manual about "Installing the Software".

2.  Copy the "JAWSTOSH.JMF" file to "JAWS.JMF".  This copies the
Toshiba keyboard layout into the default file, so it will be loaded
automatically at boot up.  This line will do it for you:

COPY JAWSTOSH.JMF JAWS.JMF

3.  Setup a batch file or an autoexec.bat file to load your
synthesizer software if necessary and Jaws.  To load Jaws just use
the name of the synthesizer version, like "J_ACNTPC" for the Accent
or "J_SB" for the Sounding Board or "J_SONIX" for the Symphonix.
It should start talking.  If it doesn't refer to your synthesizer
manual to be sure the proper synthesizer software is loaded, or
refer to the Jaws manual for your particular version of Jaws and
synthesizer to be sure you are doing all the steps correctly.


Toshiba keyboard layout

The easiest way to find the Jaws keys on the Toshiba keyboard is to
turn on help mode.  Hold  down the Insert key (second key to the
right of the space bar) and press the "1" on the numbers row (above
the "q").  Then explore the keyboard, the keys will speak their
names when pressed.  Here is the Toshiba-Jaws key board layout:

Prior Line = Up Arrow
Next Line = Down Arrow
Say Current Line= Shift-Up Arrow
Prior Word = Shift-left Arrow
Next Word = Shift-Right Arrow
Say Current Word= Shift-Down Arrow
Prior Character = Left Arrow
Next Character = Right Arrow
Say Current Character = Shift-End
Say up to Cursor = Shift-Enter
Say from Cursor = Shift-Page Down
Jaws cursor on = key in top right corner,
PC Cursor on = key left of Jaws cursor key, second from right top
corner.
On some models, like the t3100, the Jaws and Pc cursor keys are
reversed.
Say all = control Scroll Lock, usually the top right key.
 Read top line = Shift-Home
Read bottom line = Shift-Page Up
Route PC⌐JAWS  to PC = shift-Jaws cursor on, top right corner
Route PC to JAWS = Shift-PC cursor on, second from top right
corner.
Position of active Cursor = Period/Delete, to left of left arrow.
Position of in-active Cursor = insert-Period/Delete

With the help mode on you can also discover the locations of the
special keys specific to certain applications, like the Word
Perfect macros for the spell checker or the files menu/revealed
codes mode.  Try control-up arrow, control down arrow, and alt-end
for some of these functions.


toshiba 3100

If you have a Toshiba 3100 lap top you may want to use the hard
drive for some of your Jaws software.  We recommend that you create
a Jaws subdirectory on the hard drive and copy the entire Jaws
distribution disk over to it.  If your system was not
installed by Henter-Joyce follow these steps:

1.  Install the synthesizer in the expansion slot.  This can be
very complex so be careful or let us do it.  The slot is on the
back of the computer, 2 screws hold on a cover.  Remove the cover,
slide in the synthesizer and use the same screws to hold in the
synthesizer.  Be sure it is "seated" properly in the slot, be
gentle, do not force it, but be sure it is firmly inserted into the
side connector.

2.  Boot up your system with no floppy in the disk drive, or with
a boot floppy in the A drive.

3.  Create a Jaws subdirectory: enter "c:" and press enter; enter
"md\jaws", press enter; then enter "cd\jaws" and press enter.

4.  Then copy all the files from the Jaws distribution disk: put
the Jaws disk in the disk drive; Enter
"copy a:*.* c:\jaws";

5.  If you are using an Accent synthesizer you can use our pre-
defined config.sys and autoexec.bat files.  Copy the autoexec.t31
file and the config.t31 file to the root directory.  The following
commands will do this, replacing Autoexec.bat and Config.sys files
already their.  If you do not want this, maybe you are using a
different synthesizer,  then you should look at our files and add
the appropriate commands to your files.

Enter "cd\", press enter;
enter "copy \jaws\autoexec.t31 \autoexec.bat" add press enter;
enter "copy \jaws\config.t31 \config.sys" and press enter.

Re-boot the computer with no disk in the A drive and let it load up
with speech from the hard drive.  You should hear it say "Accent
Ready" then your name and "Jaws Ready".

If your computer is already in "resume mode" you will need to press
the reset button.  On the left side, towards the front is a small
cover, open it by pulling down from the top.  Inside is a button,
press it to reset the computer.  It will beep once, press enter,
then wait for it to load after the next beep.

Now you should be able to use the Jaws utilities like the macro
editor without having the boot floppy in the drive, it will be
loaded from the hard drive.

You may want to set up the Toshiba to use "resume" mode:  enter
"c:test3"; enter "0" and press enter;  move the cursor down to
"Resume mode"; use left or right arrow to select "resume"; press
F10, then "9", then enter.  Now when you turn it off you will hear
two beeps, this means that you are in resume mode.  When you turn
it back on it will not need to re-boot, it will already be up and
running where you left it.



toshiba 1000 SE

If you have a Toshiba 1000 SE lap top you may want to use the RAM
drive for some of your Jaws software.  We recommend that you leave
the Jaws program itself on the floppy drive: this is named
"J_ACNTPC.EXE" for the Accent SE synthesizer, or "J_SONIX.EXE" if
you have a Symphonix synthesizer.  You should also leave the Accent
driver "SPKEMS.DVC" or the Symphonix driver on the floppy.  These
files take up a lot of memory and you do not need them on the RAM
drive.

If your system was not installed by Henter-Joyce follow these
steps:

1.  Install the synthesizer in the modem slot.  This can be very
complex so be careful or let us do it.

2.  Boot up your system with no floppy in the disk drive.
3.  Create a boot disk:  put in a new disket in the floppy drive;
enter "c:";
then enter "format a:/s", if it says you have the wrong
parameters then you do not have a high density floppy.  No
problem, for low-density floppies use the syntax below:
enter "format a:/s/t:80/n:9";
High density floppies have 1.4 megabytes, low density have 720
kilobytes of storage.

4.  Then copy all the files from the Jaws distribution disk: put
the Jaws disk in the disk drive; Enter
"xcopy a:\ b:\/s"; when it says to put in the destination disk or
the "B" disk put in the newly-formatted disk we did above;  When it
asks to put in the source or "A" disk put in the Jaws disk again;
Repeat these steps until the copy is complete.

5.  Now copy the autoexec.t1s file and the config.t1s file to the
proper file names (this step may not be necessary, the install
procedure may have already done it).  The following commands will
do this, if you do not want to use our configuration then you
should look at our files and add the appropriate commands to your
files to get the configuration you want.

enter "copy \autoexec.t1s \autoexec.bat" add press enter;
enter "copy \config.t1s \config.sys" and press enter.


Now you should have a boot disk that will also load up the Accent
driver and Jaws.  Re-boot the computer with the Jaws boot disk in
the A drive and let it load up with speech.  You should hear it say
"Accent Ready" then your name and "Jaws Ready".

If your computer is already in "resume mode" you will need to press
the reset button just behind the power supply input
connection.  Use a skinny object to press in the recessed button
inside the small hole.  It will beep once, press enter, then wait
for it to load after the next beep.

Then we want to format the D drive and copy the Jaws utilities over
to it:

1.  Enter "c:format d:", press "y" when asked and press enter.  It
may ask for the current volume label, just type it in.  If you do
not know this press enter, let it abort, then enter "c:label d:"
and it will tell you the current label.  Then repeat the step above
to format the D drive.

2.  Enter "a:jcopyse", this will copy the Jaws utility files over
to the D drive.

3.  re-boot the computer with your Jaws boot disk in the a drive.
It should boot up with speech and be defaulted to the D drive.

Now you should be able to use the Jaws utilities like the macro
editor without having the boot floppy in the drive, it will be
loaded from the RAM drive.

You should at this time set up the Toshiba to use "resume" mode:
enter "c:setup10"; move the cursor down to "Resume mode"; use left
or right arrow to select "resume"; press enter and "y".  Now when
you turn it off you will hear two beeps, this means that you are in
resume mode.  When you turn it back on it will not need to re-boot,
it will already be up and running where you left it.  Just give it
about 5 seconds and it will be ready to speak.
