Hi everyone

Looks like the weather has changed a bit now, but we do have the Easter
break to look forward to.

I bought a Toshiba Thunderbolt 3 dock with the aim of driving my laptop
running two 22" screens.

However, I can only get the laptop screen and one of the monitors working
at any time. The spec definitely says two is possible, and I dont think
it's my use of Linux which is causing any issue.

But there is an outstanding firmware patch for the dock that does deal with
external screens, which sounds like this may be my fix possibly.

The only issue is that I need a Windows machine to update the firmware, my
Windows machine does not have a Thunderbolt port ;-( so I'm a bit stuck.

So I'm wondering if anyone who has a Windows machine with a Thunderbolt3
port can help me out so I can apply the firmware fix ?

Thanks
Julian
