IIRC, the Toshiba W98 FDD driver is a zipped file that, when unzipped,
contains a readme file with explicit instructions on driver installation. As I
recall, it's not completely straightforward. You may need to delete whatever may
have showed up in Device Manager from your first attempt before proceeding.
* Remove anything in Window's Device Manager that may have a yellow/black error icon.
* Unpack the "Toshiba Windows 95 Controls for Libretto 100CT ' driver file l100ctrl.exe for your L100 (found on Toshiba USA support pages) with the file FDCMON.VXD in it to a folder
* Shut the system down
* Connect the floppy drive
* Boot the system.
* When the "New Hardware Found" window pops up, select the "Search for drivers" option (I think it is).
* On the next window, >make sure the option to search the A: floppy drive is >disabled<< (or you'll be waiting forever). At the bottom of the window you can browse to the folder where you put the Lib controls drivers, and select it. Then just proceed with the process and you should be set.

Yes... Windows 95 seems a bit odd.
