Introduction
The IBM Portable Personal Computer
is
a portable
member
of
the IBM Personal Computer family.
It
consists
of
a case
that
has a built-in, 9-inch display, one
IBM Personal Computer Slimline Diskette Drive, a
system board, and a keyboard. The case has a handle
for carrying. The unit
can
be
placed in its own
protective carrying case. The base IBM Portable
Personal Computer also has a power supply
and
two
IBM Portable Personal Computer option adapters (with
space available for five additional options). You can
add a color display, a printer,
an
expansion unit,
additional memory, a second slimline diskette drive,
or
other options to expand your system
to
meet your
particular needs.
The system board has
an
Intel 8088 Processor
and
256K
of
available memory. The IBM
Color/Graphics
Monitor Adapter and
the
IBM Diskette Drive Adapter
are installed in two of the seven expansion slots.
The keyboard, which is the primary means
of
entering
data
into the system, connects
to
the IBM Portable
Personal Computer with a 76-centimeter (30-inch)
coiled cable. The cable is stored in a compartment
on
the keyboard while the IBM Portable Personal
Computer is being carried. The keyboard attaches
to
the front
of
the
system unit
to
form part of the
enclosure/
carrying case. The keyboard keys are
divided into three major sections: the typewriter area,
the numeric keypad,
and
the function keys.
The
power supply allows the IBM Portable Personal
Computer
to
operate
at
either 115 Vac (volts ac)
or
230 Vac. Six different line cords are available for
various power sources.
