1-1

1.1 Features

The Toshiba 700 Series uses extensive Large Scale Integration (LSI) and Complementary

Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology to provide minimum size and weight, low

power usage and high reliability. The computer is optimized for Windows®95 and supports

plug and play technology. The computer incorporates the following features and benefits:

❑Microprocessor

This computer uses an Intel Pentium®processor 120MHz with Voltage Reduction

Technology (VRT) that operates at 2.9 volts.

❑Disk storage

This computer has a 1.2GB HDD pack.

❑MultiBox

This feature provides for connection of either a Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) or an

optional CD-ROM drive.

The FDD supports 3.5-inch 2HD (1.44 MB) disks and 2DD (720 KB) disks. The

drive can be connected to an external FDD port with an attachment when the CD-

ROM drive is installed in the MultiBox.

A full-size, quadruple-speed CD-ROM drive contains an ATAPI (AT attachment

packet interface) interface controller, and supports the following formats: audio CD,

photo CD, CD plus, and ISO 9660.

❑Memory

The 700CS comes standard with 8 MB of DRAM, and the 700CT comes standard

with 16 MB of DRAM.

❑Display

The 700CS has an 11.3-inch Dual-scan Supertwist Nematic (DSTN) color LCD which

displays 800 x 600 pixels. The 700CT has an 11.3-inch full color, Thin Film Transis-

tor (TFT) color LCD which displays 800 x 600 pixels. The built-in display controller

supports full color capability and up to 1024 x 768 resolution on an external CRT.

❑Keyboard

An easy-to-use 82/84-key keyboard provides a numeric keypad overlay for fast nu-

meric data entry or for cursor and page control. This keyboard supports software that

uses a 101- or 102-key enhanced keyboard.

700 Series

❑Batteries

Three different batteries are used in the 700 Series computers: a Lithium-Ion main

battery, a backup battery (for memory backup), and an RTC battery (for the Real

Time Clock).

❑Expansion memory slot

An optional 8, 16, or 32 MB memory module can be installed in the memory slot.

❑Parallel port

This port can be used to connect a Centronics-compatible printer or other parallel

device. The port supports an Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) and Enhanced Parallel

Port (EPP) conforming to IEEE·1284.

❑Serial port (9-pin)

The serial controller is 16550UART compatible. This standard, 9-pin, serial port can

be used to connect devices such as a serial printer, serial mouse, or external modem.

❑RGB port

The female, 15-pin, D-shell connector can be connected to an external CRT (SVGA

monitor), which is recognized automatically. It supports Video Electronics Standards

Association (VESA) Display Data Channel (DDC) 2B compatible functions.

❑Ext. Keyboard port

A PS/2-compatible keyboard can be connected to this port.

❑Mouse port

A PS/2-compatible mouse can be connected to this port.

❑PC card slot

The PC card slot supports up to two Personal Computer Memory Card International

Association (PCMCIA) standard version release 2.0 cards. The upper and lower slots

can each accommodate one Type II (5.0 mm) card, or the lower slot can accommo-

date one Type III (10.5 mm) card when the upper slot is empty.

❑Desk Station V port

This port enables connection of a Desk Station V, which expands the following fea-

tures: two PCI/ISA bus and one half size PCI bus slots, two PCMCIA slots (Type III),

a 5.25-inch drive bay, an additional MultiBox, and an on-board SCSI-2 (small com-

puter system interface) host adaptor.

700 Series

❑AccuPoint

A pointer control stick, located in the center of the keyboard, provides convenient

control of the cursor without requiring desk space for a mouse.

❑Infrared port

The 700 Series incorporates an IrDA1.0 (115.2Kbps supported) standard infrared

transmitter and receiver.

❑Sound System

A Sound BlasterTM ProTM compatible sound system provides the capability to record

sound and play it back with a built-in microphone and stereo speakers. The sound

system is equipped with a stereo headphone jack and a stereo microphone jack.

The 700 Series Personal Computer is shown in Figure 1-1, and its system configuration is

shown in Figure 1-2.
