provides world-class workstation performance for many popular
or mission critical applications that you can now use in a
mobile environment.
Model Abstract 7249-860
(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of January 30, 1998)
The RS/6000 Notebook 860 combines desktop workstation
performance, graphics capabilities, network connectivity, and
industry common I/O ports to enable powerful solutions for the
mobile environment. It is powered by a 166MHz PowerPC 603e*
microprocessor and features 256KB of L2 cache, 32MB of system memory
(expandable to 96MB) and hard disk drive capability up to 2GB.
A large, 12.1-inch (maximum viewable area measured diagonally)
active-matrix TFT color display offers brilliant color in 1024 x 768
resolution. An external monitor for up to 1280 x 1024 resolution
can also be connected. The Model 860 features a built-in GT20
graphics adapter for graphics power, featuring video input capability,
with motion video capture and playback.
Effective April 18, 1997, this RS/6000
system will have a 1-2 user, full
function AIX* Version 4 package included at
no additional charge. See AIX
Program Number 5765-C34 for additional details.

The RS/6000 Model 860 Notebook is the most powerful
RISC-based notebook currently available from IBM!
It combines desktop workstation performance, graphics
capabilities, network connectivity, and industry common
I/O ports to enable powerful solutions in a notebook
package. With this small, rugged system, your
applications are available almost anywhere.
The Model 860 comes standard with a 166MHz PowerPC 603e
microprocessor, which has 16KB of instructional and
16KB of data cache plus an additional 256KB of
Level 2 (L2) cache to provide even greater power.
The base Model 860 has 32MB of memory that can be expanded
to 96MB to address a wide range of application
requirements. It comes with a removable 1.2GB SCSI-2
internal disk drive. You can purchase additional 810MB
removable disk drives that you can use, with the
optional secondary hard disk drive adapter, in place of the
CD-ROM in the CD-ROM bay to provide up to 2.0GB of
internal disk storage.
The 12.1-inch TFT display provides excellent graphics capability.
The built-in GT20 graphics adapter features video input
capability with motion-video and playback functions. You can
also connect the Model 860 to an external monitor (supporting up
to 1280 x 1024 resolution) or projection system for impressive
presentations and sales demonstrations.
The Model 860 has a space-saving keyboard with an integrated
TrackPoint III* pointing device. However, a standard
three-button mouse is also provided for connection to the
keyboard/mouse port, or optional PS/2* miniature mouse
can also be used.
Rounding out the Model 860's standard configuration are a
double-speed CD-ROM drive and an 3.5-inch external
diskette drive plus a power cord, battery pack, and universal
AC adapter.

The Model 860 is high-end notebook computer.
It takes many valued features of the IBM ThinkPad* and combines
them with PowerPC technology to provide a workstation-class
notebook system.
The Notebook 860's great performance, graphics capability,
and mobile packaging makes it an attractive system for
application development and industry-specific solutions, such
as graphical information systems that require onsite map
viewing and analysis, onsite consulting for Internet Web
page construction, network design, and application
development.
In the medical field, this notebook can be an effective tool
for hospital patient care systems, telemedicine, remote
imaging, and diagnostic applications.
As a great portable sales tool, the Model 860 can display colorful
sales presentations and demonstrations. It is also easily
transported to remote field sites for data acquisition and
analysis as required in the petroleum industry or many
government applications.

feature without regard to interaction with other features. The
maximum valid quantity for MES orders may be different than for
initial orders. The maximums listed below refer to the largest
quantity of these two possibilities.
The order type defines if a feature can be ordered only on
