Custom BIOS Item
#1
Have a vintage Toshiba notebook. The final BIOS update is already installed... REPEAT! there will be no subsequent releases for this machine. Regrettably, the last BIOS did not include the ability to boot to USB... a feature of great utility. I used to see third party companies offer BIOS solutions in past years. Thought this forum would be the place to get informed guidance on what options exist. Hoping someone in this community can comment on how to USB booting on this machine. Much thanks as I await a reply

It's almost impossible to modify Bios to introduce this feature !
So best way is to use a Boot Manager, Insalling It on Internal HD every time It is Booting,
It will show a Boot Menu letting You choice which one Peripheral to Boot from !

Look here :

PloP Boot Manager can be a good solution, I used It a lot of time ago installing as BootManager !!!

Or You can use Grub-Manager (Linux Based) on HD and then choice to Boot from USB :

Also you may experiment with PLOP as network card OPROM

Get PLOP OPROM add required PCI info,vendor and device and replace PXE network boot with plop.
When you need USB boot just use network boot
Plop will load and if works,you may need to play a little with settings maybe.When you get it working you may add custom settings for your config to new OPROM and update once more BIOS with final one.
