The IBM* RS/6000* Notebook is a PowerPC*-based mobile system that provides world-class workstation performance for many popular or mission critical applications that you can now use in a mobile environment.
(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of November 8, 1996)
The IBM 7249 ThinkPad Power Series 850 includes a PowerPC 603e 100MHz
microprocessor, 32MB of standard memory, expandable up to 96MB, 10.4-inch
(maximum viewable area when measured diagonally) color display -- active
matrix Thin Film Transistor (TFT) with 800x600 resolution, a G10 graphics
with motion adapter, built-in stereo speakers and microphone, user-
removable, large capacity hard disks -- 810MB or 1.2GB, integrated CD-ROM
drive (2X), PCMCIA expansion slots (two Type I/II or one Type III), and
84-, 85-, or 89-key keyboard with an integrated TrackPoint III. The 850
system also supports multi-tasking capability and a choice of high-
performance 32-bit operating systems: IBM AIX Version 4.1.4 for Clients,
Windows NT** Workstation 3.51 (PowerPC Edition), or Solaris** Desktop
2.5.1 (PowerPC Edition).
System Strengths

These systems also include a standard 256KB Level 2 cache and 64-bit
memory controller on the 850.
(1) Maximum viewable area when measured diagonally.
Pre-Configured Systems -- Base System
IBM ThinkPad Power Series 850 includes:
G10 Graphics With Motion is factory installed and available only on
model 7249-851.
The IBM 7249 Model 851 has a PowerPC 603e 100MHz microprocessor, 32MB
base memory, 810MB hard drive, double-speed CD-ROM drive, G10 graphics
adapter with motion, and a 800x600 display.

provided in National Languages.
Supported devices are defined by the operating system used.
None.
The IBM ThinkPad Power Series 850 systems are small light-weight
battery or AC operated portable notebook computers. These computers are
a general solution for mobile, field or desk oriented professionals who
need 32-bit operating systems.
Microprocessor:
The 850 systems are based on the new generation PowerPC technology in
the form of the PowerPC 603e microprocessor running at 100MHz. The 603e
provides integrated 32KB level 1 cache, floating point unit, and Power
Management.
System Memory:
The 850 implements a 64-bit memory bus architecture for enhanced
performance, which is also enhanced by the standard 256KB of Level 2
Cache. Base system memory is provided by a 16MB SODIMM module on the
system planar. Two 16MB SODIMMs are used to provide the base 32MB
system.
Memory expansion is accomplished with two ICDRAM sockets placed under
the hard disk drive and the CD-ROM drive. Two ICDRAM cards of the same
size must be installed to expand memory. Total system memory is 96MB
using 16MB or 32MB ICDRAM cards in pairs.
Storage Devices:
The 850 systems are available with two 2.5 inch SCSI-2 hard disk
capacities, 810MB and 1.2GB. These hard disks are user removable.
All systems have a built in double speed 5.25 inch SCSI-2 CD-ROM that
is user removable.
They also have an external 3.5 inch 1.44MB diskette drive. This FDD
can be removed from its covers and installed in the system in place of
the CD-ROM. A bezel is provided for this purpose.

CD-ROM Specifications:
Audio Input/Output:
All systems come with integrated business audio, are equipped with
stereo speakers and a built-in microphone that is suitable for voice
annotation or speaker-phone applications.
Audio Specification:
Graphics and Displays:
The G10 Graphics Adapter provides customary graphics function expected
in a premium mobile system. The G10 Graphics with Motion Video Adapter
adds full motion video I/O to graphics capabilities. The G10 Graphics
Adapter is standard on the IBM ThinkPad Power Series 850.
The G10 with Motion Video Adapter supports the 640x480 display and is
capable of supporting a external monitor of up to 1024x768. The TFT
panels also support the 1024x768 mode by a pan capability implemented in
operating system device drivers that allows the smaller window to move
around in the larger display buffer.

Indicates that customer desires software ordered with the system to be
pre-loaded (if the software product supports pre-load).
The following is a list of all feature codes in numeric order.
Attributes, as defined in the following feature descriptions, state
the interaction of requirements among features.
Minimums and maximums are the absolute limits for a single 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 is orderable only on initial
orders, only on MES orders, on both initial and MES orders, or if a
feature is supported on a model due to a model conversion. Supported
features cannot be ordered on the converted model, only left on or
removed from the converted model.

The IBM Personal Microphone is a lightweight microphone and headset
which conveniently fits over and behind the user's ear. The microphone
element is attached to the earpiece with a thin tubular boom. The IBM
personal Microphone allows adjustments to be made to position the
microphone and headset for either the left or right ear.
The IBM Personal Microphone is a perfect addition to the microphone
supplied with your system unit. It allows each user to have their own
microphone.
The microphone is suitable for a wide range of applications but is
especially suited for speech recognition applications including dictation
and navigation in an office environment. The microphone allows
consistent performance by providing for an optimum distance for the voice
source and the microphone element and providing concurrent feedback to
the user via the personal headset.

Limitations
G10 Graphics with Motion Video Adapter supports NTSC video input and
output, and PAL video input only.
G10 Graphics with Motion Video is supported in the operating system
environment only. Support may vary by operating system.
Software developers envisioning the use of DCBZ or MTMSR PowerPC
instructions should consult the programming guidelines area of the IBM
Power Series Systems Products and Solutions home page on the World Wide
Web. URL: http://www.austin.ibm.com/powrinfo.html
Audio functions are supported only in the operating system
environment. Audio support may vary by operating system. Audio support
for AIX requires IBM Ultimedia Services Version 2.1, or later.
The power management function is implemented in the operating system
environment, and will affect the expected battery life.
The system is designed so customers can install or remove a PCMCIA
card without turning off the system, if the PCMCIA card and operating
system selected support this function. Refer to the PCMCIA card
instructions.
The keyboard is an integral part of the IBM ThinkPad Power Series
850. It cannot be interchanged as other RS/6000 keyboards may and key
caps cannot be exchanged.
When the system is working under some operating systems, removal and
installation of a PCMCIA card may not be supported during the power-on
state.
When installing two Type II PCMCIA communications cards in the PCMCIA
slot, cable interference may allow only one card to be used.
PC Card point enablers may write directly to the hardware, bypassing
Socket and Card Services. Writing directly to the hardware may cause
problems that cannot be anticipated. Point enablers may interfere with
client device drivers that do communicate with Socket and Card Services.
Additional customer testing in their specific environments is
recommended.
Maximum data transfer rate of the built-in, double-speed CD-ROM drive
is approximately 300KBps when used with the IBM ThinkPad Power Series
850.
The IBM Keyboard/Mouse Connector cable is required when attaching an
external keyboard to the system via the external input device port.
When running AIX with a tablet instead of the TrackPoint III in the
AIXwindow environment, execute (rmdev -1 mouse0) at the command line
before starting the AIXwindow environment.
Devices supported depends on the operating system used and on the
availability of its device driver. It is recommended that this
information be verified with the device driver.
Device drivers for x86 systems supplied with PCMCIA cards will not
execute on these systems. Customer must insure that PowerPC device
drivers are available for the card.
The resolution of NTSC OUT is less than VGA resolution. The screen
quality may not be equal to what is expected.
