PowerBook 1400 Computer developer note

[edit | edit source]

PowerBook 1400 Computer developer note (PowerBook 1400c and 1400cs), Apple Computer, © 1995, 1996, 88 PDF pages with a text layer. Chapters: Introduction (PDF p. 15), Architecture (p. 21), I/O Features (p. 29), Expansion Modules (p. 43: the expansion bay, the RAM expansion card, the expansion card slot for video or Ethernet, the PC Card slots), Software Features (p. 75), Glossary and index. It compares the 1400 with the PowerBook 5300, on which much of it is based, and gives the battery as a 30 Wh NiMH pack and the adapter as 45 W. No service procedures or component values.

Its Figure 3-1 gives the maximum height of the internal hard disk as 19.25 mm; Apple's later Enhanced developer note says this is wrong and the limit is 12.5 mm.
