If you don't read anything else . . . Read this!
Your Gateway Solo™ 2200 Multimedia Notebook provides all the power and
multimedia capabilities of a full-size desktop system, yet allows you the
convenience of a lightweight portable notebook.
The Gateway Solo 2200 contains the following special features:
Wavetable Synthesis — One of two options for playing MIDI files, the
wavetable synthesizer uses digital samples (recordings) of actual instruments
for a more realistic sound quality.
System Modularity — The system has a modular option bay that accepts
either a floppy disk drive module, a CD-ROM module or an additional battery
pack.
Floppy Disk Drive Module — An optional external adapter allows you to use
the floppy disk drive module and CD-ROM at the same time, or use the
floppy disk drive module with an additional battery pack.
Memory Modules — Install additional modules with ease.
Hard Drive Modules — To swap out the hard drive with another hard drive.
Optional Docking Solutions — Use to save time by plugging in peripherals
and leaving them plugged in. The docking solutions easily connect to the
rear of the system, enabling all attached peripherals.
Dual Battery Operation — To operate with two batteries at the same time,
install one battery pack in the battery bay and an optional second battery
pack in the modular option bay. This option is ideal when you travel, provid-
ing additional hours of uninterrupted use.
Backup Password Protection — Selecting this option from the Security menu
in the Setup menus will allow you to access your system if you have forgot-
ten your password. Place and store the supervisor password on a diskette in
a hidden file.
Popup Status Display — Through a set of hot key options you can monitor
battery status, temporarily change the power management level, view AC
adapter connection, view mute function enabled/disabled, change volume
settings, or change brightness levels.
Zoomed Video — The video information for most PC Cards goes through
the CPU or system bus, taking up additional processing time. Zoomed video
routes the video information directly to the video card, freeing up the proces-
sor for other tasks.
