IBM
Personal Systems Fall 1992 Announcement Overview
TRACKPOINT II:
The ThinkPad 720 and 720C provides a unique
cursor-pointing
device called TrackPoint II, which is built into the
keyboard. It
works like the mouse and allows the user to point and
select icons on the
screen under control of the application. It
consists of a device
that stands between the "G" and "H" keys, accompanied by
two "Click-Buttons",
which are positioned below the space-bar. The
device reacts to pressure
from the finger-tip and the left button is used for
selecting or dragging
items on the screen. The right button simulates the
Enter key in some applications.
DISPLAY (MONOCHROME):
A 9.5-inch diagonal LCD, Supertwisted
Neumatic (STN) 640
x 480 pels, Video Graphics Array (VGA) resolution, cold
florescent sidelighted
display with an 18 to 1 contrast ratio. Depending on the
application, up
to 64 grey scales can be addressed. It displays black
characters on a white
background and it may be reversed to a white on black
mode by a simple
switch operation.
DISPLAY (COLOR):
A 10.4-inch diagonal color LCD, thin film
transistor (TFT)
640 x 480 pels, Video Graphics Array (VGA) resolution,
cold fluorescent
sidelighted display with a 100 to 1
(minimum) contrast ratio. Depending on the
application,
256 colors are available simultaneously out of a palette
of 4,096 colors
in VGA mode (640 x 480). There are over 921,000
thin film transistors
used in its construction, and with advanced
manufacturing techniques a
defect rate of less than .00002 can be maintained.
This quality state
of the art VGA screen provides clear, bright, vibrant
colors approaching
cathode-ray-tube technology.
The external input device port can have the following
devices connected:
- IBM PS/2 Miniature Mouse (#5443, 07G0033)
- IBM PS/2 Numeric Keypad (#5445, 07G0032)
- IBM PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse Connector (#3145,
54G0441).
The IBM
PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse Connector is required when:
- Attaching an external
keyboard
- Attaching an external
keyboard and
mouse.
SECURITY BASE:
It is designed to prevent unauthorized
operation of the
computer in the following ways:
o Bolts down the system on the desk
o Keylocks system in the security base with
the hard disk
locking mechanism (padlock optional)
o Prevents removal of hard disk
o Prevents removal of IC DRAM cards and
coprocessor
o Prevents access to the screw holes in the
system
o Prevents access to the system expansion and
I/O connectors.
SECURITY UTILITY
DISKETTE:
The user can set a privileged access
password to the system
to limit the use of the system program. Once the
password is set,
the boot drive selection and/or an I/O port usage can be
protected from
tampering by any of the reference diskettes.

IBM THINKPAD PORT REPLICATOR
The ThinkPad Port Replicator can be
attached to all ThinkPad
700/720/C systems. The Port Replicator is designed
to provide a convenient
way to detach/re-attach all attached peripherals, for
example, a printer,
when the "portable" computer is taken from one location
to the other. Installation
of the port replicator is simply snapping onto the
system expansion connector.
No additional features are required for use. The
Port Replicator
extends the bus signals of the system expansion
connector to a keyboard/numeric
keypad, a mouse, an external display, a parallel and
serial (9-pin) connectors.
The system AC adapter can be put in the plug
guide. Thus, the peripherals
stay plugged into the Port Replicator that remains on
the desk. Removal
procedure is simply done by using opening levers.
A wire or chain
can be used to secure the port replicator on the desk.
KEYBOARD KEYGUARD:
This is a molded plastic keyboard overlay
that has holes
for each key and an integrated TrackPoint II and click
buttons. It
allows a user with mobility problems/muscle control
problems to steady
a hand on the KeyGuard and press the key by reaching
through the related
hole.
