Texas Instruments 3000 User Manual

Preface

Your new Texas Instruments TravelMate

3000 Notebook Computer is a lightweight,

full-function computer with the features and power of many desktop personal computers.
The TravelMate 3000 has a standard 20-megabyte (MB) or optional 40-MB internal hard
disk drive, an 80386

SX microprocessor, factory-installed MS-DOS ® version 4.01.

Several options, some of which are described in Chapter 6, are available to make your
TravelMate 3000 more powerful and more useful for your particular applications.

Note:

Your TravelMate 3000 Computer’s hard disk drive is already formatted and

loaded with MS-DOS 4.01, GW-BASIC ®, BatteryPro

power-conservation utilities,

Laptop Manager, Laptop File Manager, diagnostics, and other useful programs.
Therefore, do not format the hard disk (drive C) or you will delete these programs. Any
data you have entered into the computer will be lost forever if you reformat the hard disk-
unless you have backed up the data on floppy diskettes. However, the aforementioned
programs also are stored on the 3.5-inch floppy diskettes furnished with your new
computer so that you can restore the programs to the hard disk if necessary. See
'Restoring MS-DOS System Files" in Appendix E for instructions.

Your TravelMate 3000 accepts a variety of options, including:

2400-bps Internal Modem with send-fax capabilities

80387

SX Math Coprocessor

Internal RAM Modules

External monitors

Numeric Keypad

Deluxe carrying case

External printers

All these options are available from Texas Instruments. Contact your dealer or telephone
