Features
The Toshiba T2100/T2105 Series computers are one of the lightest and most advanced
portable computers available. Utilizing advanced technology and high-speed components, the
computer offers excellent display legibility, battery operation and IBM PC/AT compatibility.
References to the T2100, T2100CS, and T2100CT models relate directly to the T2105,
T2105CS, and T2105CT models respectively.
The T2100/T2105 Series computer system units consist of the following features:
Microprocessor
The SL Enhanced Intel 486DX2-50 microprocessor operates at 50 MHz, 3.3 Volts.
Math coprocessor
The math coprocessor is stored in the i486DX2 microprocessor.
Cache memory
Eight (8) KB of cache memory is stored in the i486DX2 microprocessor.
Disk storage
The T2100 has an internal 260 MB HDD.
The T2100CS/T2100CT has an internal 350 MB HDD.
A 3.5-inch Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) supports 2 HD floppy disks (1.44 Mbytes) and
2DD floppy disks (720 Kbytes).
Memory
The T2100/T2100CS comes standard with 4 MB of CMOS Random Access Memory
(RAM), and the T2100CT comes with 8 MB RAM, 3.3 Volts. This includes 640 KB
of conventional memory with 3,264 KB of extended memory for the T2100/T2100CS
and 7,360 KB for the T2100CT, which can be utilized as expanded memory compat-
ible with the Lotus/Intel/Microsoft Expanded Memory Specifications (LIM-EMS).
Monochrome LCD (T2100)
A high-resolution, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) displays 640x480 pixels with 64-level
gray scale. The T2100 internal display controller supports Video Graphics Adapter
(VGA) functions on the internal display device.
STN color LCD (T2100CS)
A high-resolution, Supertwist Nematic (STN) color Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
